Our third experience having the Omakase menu. The service is incredibly attentive, highly recommend sitting at the bar to watch the prep. The food comes out looking like art and taste is perfect. One of our dishes was slightly too salty for my wife's preference, it was immediately rectified thanks to the attentive staff. It's a new menu each time which will keep us coming back over and over for special occasions.

The food is always incredible here, and I love being in the booths, so private and cozy. The drinks are delicious too! One of my favourite places on the GC

WOW WOW WOW. I’ve driven past this place and never realised what it was. Almost secretive by name but not by reputation. One Eighty has been spoken about by friends and family for a while as an experience not to be missed. You never know with these sorts of places if it’s the mood at the time and then others wont experience it and if the food will be to much or not enough. It was just perfect. The attentiveness of the staff was out of this world for Australian dinning these days. Certainly no “how’s thing mate” here. The food …. impeccable. Never thought a humble chicken on a stick could be be so damn good. I too will be recommending this place to all who will listen.

If we could, we would give Isaka Midori 10 stars! ⭐️ This is one of our favourite restaurants, and it’s always worth travelling from Brisbane to experience their food. And I say experience because every bite is an explosion of different tastes. We stopped eating meat seven years ago, and it is amazing to see how their chef transforms plant-based food into something that looks and feels so much like fish. And the staff are wonderful too; always friendly, calm and professional. They make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The presentation, flavours and textures are incredible. This is not just food — this is art. ❤️ Arigatou gozaimasu! 🙏
