Choo Choo Sushi Portside
Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth fish and generous portions define the standout sushi here, with many praising the consistent quality and incredible freshness of the sashimi.

Best ramen
Best ramen in Brisbane
Japanese · Fortitude Valley
Gung Ho! Dumpling Ramen Bar
Rich, flavourful broths and chewy noodles define the standout ramen dishes, particularly the punchy tri-garlic option and the satisfying Tonkotsu. However, some visitors have encountered disappointing, soggy textures and bland flavours, alongside inconsistent service speeds during less busy periods.

Best Udon
Best Udon in Brisbane
Japanese · Brisbane City
Udon Kompira
The handmade udon stands out for its authentic Sanuki-style texture, offering a much firmer, chewier, and bouncier bite than typical varieties. While the flavourful broths and dipping sauces earn high praise, some may find the al dente firmness unexpected or find the price point a bit steep.
