We were lucky enough to secure a booking at Anekawa after many attempts. Went on a Friday night at 7pm, just the two of us. We've dined at many lovely restaurants, and after reading reviews were excited to visit Anekawa. We certainly were not disappointed!! Hard to find the door behind the curtains, but very intimate atmosphere. The service was wonderful from start to finish. Delicious wines and Sake, but the food. Amazing doesn't even feel a good enough word. Such deliberate effort in presentation, complimenting tastes, flavour balance, just brilliant. We sat at the bench, so we watched our appellation oysters shucked in front of us and presented fresh. Sashimi, cut fresh. I can't describe...
Highlights of the meal included the char-grilled fish head, which was both richly interactive, and the claypot rice with whole prawns, presenting addictively crispy and savory bites. Each dish highlighted the freshest seasonal ingredients, prepared with a profound respect for Japanese culinary techniques.
Anekawa also excels in its beverage offerings, boasting a remarkable cocktail menu, a selection of biodynamic and organic wines, and carefully curated sake, beer, and whisky options. The service was nothing short of impeccable—characterized by a meticulous attention to detail that created a seamless dining experience. The staff were not only attentive but also informed, enhancing the over...

The atmosphere was very nice. The presentation of the dishes was also beautiful. The Gotofu was the most delicious. The steamed fish in Chawan-mushi was a bit fishy. Other dishes were decently tasty, but the portion sizes were very small and the prices were too high. The apple dessert was extremely bitter and unpleasant. The way the waiter cleared the plates was rough, and I was worried the plates might break. The paint on the wooden spoons was peeling off, which was off-putting. Even after spending nearly $100/person, we didn't feel full, so you might want to head to Maccas after!

Had a wonderful night at this little gem, small intimate setting, perfect for dates or celebrate special occasions. Even in such small room, it was quiet without much echoing even at almost capacity and can carry on proper convo. Service was attentive, water always refilled before empty and waitstaff noticed drink is empty and ask if needs another promptly. Food was presented beautifully and explained in detail for each dish, of course they all taste delicious. Kid-friendliness: Not suitable for kids
Without a doubt, this is one of the best dining experiences on the Gold Coast. Everything was expertly prepared, perfectly balanced, and wonderfully understated yet outstanding. Kudos to the team here! It's evident that they genuinely care, are true professionals, and are committed to delivering an exceptional culinary experience and service. I couldn't recommend this place more highly. If you truly appreciate quality food and hospitality, you should visit as soon as possible! Service: Dine-in.
