zipangu - Port Douglas

We had a great dinner at zipangu. The hostess is as lively as as the food she serve<br/ . Must try for authentic Japanese food lovers when in Port Douglas. Bit on the expensive side but forgiven as the food and service makes up for it.

Definitely try their sushi here! Very fresh produce, the exterior definitely needs a facelift but their service and quality was worth it. The price is slightly high compared to others closer to Cairns

Tiny Japanese restaurant in Port with beautiful food that puts many in Sydney and Melbourne to shame. Come to think of it this was as good as I enjoyed in Kyoto. Must book though.

Tucked away from the main road, this restaurant may not look like much from the outside. However, the food is truly spectacular and the service is warm and friendly. While not the most affordable option, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. My expectations were exceeded in every way. If you're in the mood for high-quality Japanese cuisine in Port, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just be sure to book in advance as it's a small establishment that fills up quickly.

Great little unassuming restaurant, a real find. Definitely need to book-there’s say 5 or 6 tables so it’s tiny but also very casual and intimate. Lovely service and husband and wife owners-their care for the food really shows. Beautiful fresh food, the miso was piping hot and fresh, as was the vegetable tempura (light and tasty batter), salmon sushi, gyoza, edamame and crispy chicken karaage. Not cheap (very few places in Port are), but worth it for really beautiful quality food, lovely non-pressured service and great sake. We ordered a heap, but will definitely be back next time to try desserts too.
