Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great Japanese experience.

Jan 2021 • family

Great Japanese experience. Took grandchildren and parents for a new lifetime experience. The meal was delicious. The waitress was super friendly, and so very helpful, explaining all the variations and types of food. Plenty of time was given for us to contemplate the menu then order. Waitresses recommendations were spot on. The atmosphere was so good and friendly.

This was by far the best dining experience I have had in my life... I woke up the next morning thinking about how wonderful it was. Everything was exceptional - the wait staff, the ambience, the menu, the drink menu... and the food was spectacular!

Very dissapointed

Dec 2022 • couples

Me and my partner had a booking for 8.30 last Friday night, we arrived to out table not being ready and told to stand around in the entrance for 10 mins while no one did anything . Then when I asked to go sit at our table a rude young Australian girl said ill be there when I'm ready to set it up . We sat down and received no attention or even an offer for a drink or table water for an extended time so we got up and left . No one there seemed to care So disappointed!

Worst Japanese meals

June 2024 • couples

Overpriced for very 'average' dishes. Tempura the worst we've had. I love yuzu so had a yuzu dish - lacked the tang that usually comes with yuzu and dish was soggy. The only enjoyable dish was the sashimi - only needs to buy fresh fish and cut. Miso was fine too but not hard to get that right either. Won't be returning or recommending this restaurant

Great food & great service

July 2022 • none

One of the top Japanese/Sushi places on the Gold Coast (I've tried most of them). The food is great, both the sushi/sashimi as well as the rest. Very friendly service too.

So disappointing

May 2022 • family

Sushi & Sashimi was very good but the service was appalling! We arrived at 7:45 and were still waiting for our meal at 9:30… The raw fish boat was very overpriced for what you received and the hot pots had very little flavour. All in all a disappointing experience.

A Must try.

Jan 2020 • couples

This is the only restaurant I have been to over 10 x. We go about twice a year over the last 10 years and always enjoy the food, its reasonably priced and you can byo wine. The sliced duck is my favourite and always order a large plate and share.

Eat at Little Itoshin !

Sept 2019 • friends

Drive S down the Gold Coast, duck in away from the beach at Miami and you will find in a small shopping centre I hidden Japanese gem. In Mountain View Road, Miami , lies one of the best smaller Japanese restaurants on the Gold Coast. It is actually the little sister to the more well- known and popular Itoshin Japanese Restaurant in Mermaid Beach and brain- child / long - standing chef ( Father ) Hibiko Ito . Little Itoshin is of course , Hibiko Ito’s son , carrying on the wonderful Japanese tradition. My friend and I stopped by for lunch and we will definitely return! A few other restaurants call this area home as well with lunches and dinners. Interesting extensive, fresh , healthy, tasty menu. Quite busy also for a weekday luncheon. Just a small restaurant where one can sit inside or out . Best to sit inside though and watch Little Itoshin work his creative magic. We ordered two delicious entrees- a plate of the small green salted beans , followed by the ( favourite ) Kaarage fried chicken pieces , both very acceptable. My friend had heard about the Okonomiyaki as a main , so we opted for that. Well, one serve of the Okonomiyaki pancake did us both for the main! The pancake consists of shredded cabbage , spring onion, fish cake, topped with pork belly. The toppings can change for delicious prawns I understand! Restaurant is BYO wine only ( bottle shop nearby) Interior of Little Itoshin is bright and interesting. Comfortable seating at tables or stool/ counter scenario. Local artist shows his works on the walls, attractive and bright. Parking directly outside for quite a few vehicles.
