Shinbashi Yakiniku

Skip the CBD commute. Brisbane’s barbecue purists are quietly migrating south to Underwood for a proper charcoal yakiniku fix. Shinbashi Yakiniku delivers a lively, high-energy dining room—minus the lingering smoke on your clothes, thanks to a seriously elite ventilation system. Carnivores in the know point straight to the M9 Wagyu Deluxe Set and the impressively rich, thick-cut gyutan (beef tongue). It’s an unapologetic meat fest, but the finer details shine just as bright. Think massive prawns, fresh oysters, and a wildly addictive house-made sesame dressing that turns a simple side salad into a mandatory order. Start with a bright wagyu tataki hit with sharp yuzu ponzu, then wash it all down with cups of their savory hot jug soup. The floor staff hustle with genuine warmth—effortlessly navigating gluten-free requests and keeping the grills firing. Book ahead. Snag a premium wagyu box. Bring an appetite.
