Reviews
"The food at Yamagen is delicious. The ceviche and snapper was fantastic. Our waiter was great but clearly serving too many tables. The host on arrival seemed disinterested, there was a long wait for our food, and an unbelievably small portion of teriyaki chicken for $35 (not much more than one drumstick). Something was going on last night with staffing I suspect. Based on the reviews our experience may have been out of the ordinary"
"During my stay at the QT, I decided to treat myself to a meal at Yamagen. The evening was quiet, making it easy to secure a reservation. However, upon arrival, the host seemed a bit distracted, possibly by his phone, which slightly marred the initial impression. But once I was seated, the ambiance and service quickly made up for that fleeting moment. Choosing the Sakura Fizz Mocktail was a delightful decision, where the blend of Lyre’s London dry pink spirit, fresh yuzu, cherry blossom syrup, and other ingredients harmonized into a sweet but balanced concoction. One minor setback was the unavailability of tasting menus for solo diners, which I found a tad disappointing. But, my chosen dishes didn’t let that feeling linger for long. The Aburi Tasting Set showcased fresh ingredients with impeccable presentation; the salmon, scallop, and kingfish each leaving a unique, delightful taste. Continuing the journey, the thinly sliced Kingfish Ceviche was a dance of flavors, perfectly balancing the subtle tang of lime zest with the crunchy toasted almonds. The Truffle Wagyu Tartare was a bold choice, both in flavor and texture. The MS6+ wagyu was delectable, although the ao nori potato crisps posed a bit of a messy challenge. To conclude, the Passionfruit & Coconut Panna Cotta was an exploration into a unique fruity realm, reminiscent of a "corgis" flavor palette. Venturing into this dessert was the right call, as it offered a refreshing divergence from past dessert experiences here. Having dined at Yamagen before, this experience only deepens my fondness for the place. It strikes the right balance, whether you're in for a celebration, a casual outing, or a formal dinner. Without hesitation, I'd recommend Yamagen for a splendid Japanese culinary experience on the Gold Coast."
"Unbelievable!!!! The best food in a decade at least. Seriously worth every cent. The presentation, atmosphere, service and whole experience was amazing."
"This is a superb restaurant. The food was extremely delicious, the staff extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was wonderful. A more expensive restaurant for that special occasion."
"Food was really decent. Sashimi was fresh and tasty, and the cooked items were really well done. Interesting and innovative items on the menu too. Highly recommend the beef skewer with wasabi butter."
