About Mr Kojima

Skip the Surfers Paradise strip for Mr Kojima, a lively Chevron Island izakaya pairing fiery fusion plates with serious kitchen craft. Brisbane day-trippers make the drive down just for the sticky pork belly, while the beef tataki easily holds its own against actual Tokyo counters. Tables load up on aburi salmon, tender sizzling wagyu, and savoury okonomiyaki. When ordering fatigue sets in, regular diners hand the meal over to the kitchen for the multi-course omakase—balanced with punchy yuzu cocktails and house sake. Mixed groups settle in smoothly thanks to generous meat mains and a dedicated fryer keeping the chicken safely gluten-free.

  • Chef-Led Omakase: A multi-course chef-led tasting journey featuring signature seafood and meat plates, neatly paired with craft cocktails and sake.
  • Modern Izakaya Classics: Standout share plates including sticky pork belly bites, aburi salmon, beef tataki, and sizzling wagyu.
  • Dietary Consideration: Thoughtful accommodations for mixed parties, including vegetarian plates and a dedicated fryer for gluten-free fried chicken.

  • Expertly Matched Cocktails and Sake

    An extensive beverage selection pairs handcrafted signature cocktails and diverse sake offerings alongside flavourful modern Japanese dishes.

    Beef short rib was so soft and fell off the bone. Kingfish with the yuzu ponzu sauce was amazing. My fav on the GC! Staff were so attentive and full of knowlege. Sake choices were extensive.

  • Crowd-Pleasing Group Gatherings

    Large gatherings and celebrations are easily accommodated with diverse options spanning meats, seafood, and vegetarian plates that satisfy entire parties.

    The food is good and is a crowd pleaser. We've got few friends who are vegetarian and we've had some of their dish and I can say it's a winner.
