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

Had read all the reviews and wanted to try this place from the day we arrived however given it was booked out until Wednesday had to wait until last night and what a meal, best Japanese we have ever had! Started with salmon and avocado sushi roll, crispy prawn sushi roll, gyoza, fish cakes and vegetable spring rolls. The quality and freshness of the sushi rolls was amazing, we have never had better. The gyoza were lovely and the fish cake different to what we expected but we really enjoyed it. We then had the soft shell grab for main and finally my son got his fix of his favourite, it was to die for. We then had the chicken karaage and the combo tempura, chicken was delicious and the tempura just perfect. We took a bottle of wine and loved everything. Must visit this place if you are in Port Douglas, yes it is on the pricey side but so are most places in Port Douglas but at least the food is worth it!

Where do I start. I love love my sushi/sashimi and have eaten my fair share, especially in Japan. Not only is the service very friendly, but the sashimi was to die for!!!! absolutely fresh and it melted in my mouth. I could not stop saying how good it was when I was eating it. It was also very filling, whereas in alot of cases, I need to eat a whole lot more to get me full. The home made prawn balls were delicious too and so was the scallop sushi and salmon sushi. I am from Melbourne and went to Palm Cove for holidays and am so glad I especially made the trip to Port Douglas for this place. Next time I visit, I will definitely be back and more than once this time!! sooooo delicious!!

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.
