JINSUSA — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Best Japanese in the area. Went last night around 7:30pm for some takeaway after finishing work and I’ve never seen the place so busy. I quickly understood that the waiting times were going to be really long and saw the backlog of previous orders so I decided to go elsewhere.
