KINOTO Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

Kinoto staff are so wonderful. You guys let me grab a drink and sit for 20 minutes until the rest of my party came, which was so kind of you. Thank you! The kitchen staff also look so happy and work hard!

My favourite food item would probably be the sushi rolls. They were made fresh and were delicious. Those were a 10/10! I would definitely go here again just to get some more sushi rolls.

We ordered the barramundi, wagyu beef and salmon Don. The wagyu beef was delicious! I'd also order that one again for sure. I also love that this restaurant gives you a salad, rice AND CHIPS with your meal! It's a huge meal and definitely good for us when we didn't have lunch. I personally found that the barramundi wasn't my favourite dish, especially due to the tiny fish bones throughout mine. Which obviously is unavoidable and not their fault. The fish fell apart beautifully, but I found the flavour a bit lacking.

I would definitely come back again for their lunch specials when I visit the Gold Coast again. Also because they're so conveniently next to the train station....

I stayed a couple of days in robina and thought I'll try out this Japanese place 5 minutes walk away from where i was staying because you can't really get bad japanese meal. Omg ....I was so wrong! Firstly...I came at 8 pm with the family and they trade till 9pm, I wasn't allowed to eatin. Ok, I thought I'll get take out....I ordered 2 ramen, and these were by far the worst I've eaten so far. They didn't separate the soup from the noodles, which made the noodles so soft and soggy. The soup, the soul of the ramen, tasted like it was made from a bottle of concentrated ramen soup base. 2 tiny pieces of cha siu and no egg or seaweed! There was a heap of cabbage, which i hadn't seen in my ramen noodles before. Price $17 ! It's obvious the chef doesn't take much pride in his food and doesn't care about the customers' experience when...

Kinoto is one of those places at Robina that is a bit of a secret gem; about 18 years ago Jerome operated a tepanyaki style shop over near Baskin Robbins which did the best lunch specials and had a real following. Then they relocated to Station Quickstop Shops near the Woolies servo. And have been dishing up the goodness ever since. I'm boring and order the pink dragon sushi meal which is salmon and avo sushi roll, served with a little fresh salad, pickled ginger. But there's lots of choose from, even some sushi rolls in a cabinet for the grab and go lunches. The owners are so lovely, the food is fresh and quick and the menu options varied. Well...
