My fishing mate Dom asks me out to lunch at Hosokawa today. It's been 18 months since my last visit when I rated our lunch 4.0/5.0 Arriving at 11.40am I am surprised to see only 3 vacant tables. I see two waitresses run off their feet taking orders and serving meals. Menus are provided and I ask for Green Tea which is promptly delivered, flavourful and piping hot. <br> <br> When our lunch order is taken, I notice the vacant tables are now occupied and many of the diners are Japanese or Chinese. Our teacups are topped up by the attentive waitress. The Gyoza arrives with a dipping sauce. They are freshly made then pan fried and the pork filling is fresh. The best Gyoza I have tasted for some time. Rating: 5.0/5.0<br> <br> Our mains arrive minutes after we finish the entree. My Sashimi Set ($21) includes rice and miso soup. The huge thick slices of fresh Salmon, King Fish and Tuna are mesmerising. The scallop, slice of squid and octopus are just as fresh. I finish off my meal with a slice of salt and vinegar cured mackerel. My best Sashimi meal for some time. Rating: 5.0/5.0<br> <br> Dom is a regular as he lives within walking distance of Racecourse Rd. He recommended Hosokawa to me many years ago. He thoroughly enjoys his Chirashi Set ($24) which includes a Miso Soup and Pickles. Rating: 5.0/5.0<br> <br> I walk in to the sashimi counter to thank the Chef for our wonderful meal. Both him and the wait staff openly show their appreciation. Smiles all round, a great way to leave a restaurant. My first perfect rating for a Brisbane restaurant. <br> Congratulations and Domo Arigato Hosokawa!

Right in the centre of the food court at Westfield Carindale, this little kiosk is probably the best deal on food in the mall.

Was referred by a couple when ubering home. The place is clean and relatively new. Was even presented with a newspaper because I was on my own. Menu is simple and limited. Simply the best nasi Goreng in town. A small but, the thing missing was a bit of acar and cucumber to tomato on the side. It would've gotten 5 stars otherwise. Highly recommended.
