KINOTO Japanese Restaurant

Ordered lunch special - Chicken Karaage served with salad, rice and miso soup ($13.9)
Cheap price with reasonable portions, chicken Karaage were good but a bit not crispy enough, and the salad, rice and soup were quite good as well! Highly recommended if you are after some Japanese food in the area.

This is a little mum & dad shop that serves Japanese food styles you will not find in flashy restaurants. The staff are friendly and always smiling even when it's really busy. The prices are good and servings are a decent size. After you first visit, you'll just remember this place as somewhere for a decent feed and decent pricing and yummy food.

We live on north Gold Coast but we were shopping at Pac Fair & we weren’t too keen on packed food court food so we drove a quick 5min to this lovely restaurant! It’s far from us but I will 110% be back, fresh authentic food, value for money, lovely staff & so so filling! Our lunch was only $11.90 :)

After arrival from Christchurch we were so enjoyed our meals here, very yummy. Highly recommend

Enjoying this family-run hole-in-the-wall restaurant transported me back to Japan for a moment.
Quick and attentive service, delicious food, good value. Easy 5 star on value alone.

Been a while since I ate in a Japanese restaurant ran by Japanese people but this is one !
Service is great and the food also good. My fave Japanese food is chicken nanban or karaage and hard to find one that does it good.
Sometimes it is just abundant of mayo or the chicken was cooked bit too dry, this one hit the spot nicely. The salad too was nice with sesame ? flavours on them, not just some garnish you normally put on the side.
Definitely will be back when we are back in GC.

Authentic Japanese and good value for money. The food is made fresh to order. The dinner menu has plenty of options and the lunch specials are great for a special lunch treat!

My partner and I absolutely love coming here! We’re based in Brisbane now but anytime we’re on the Gold Coast, you bet we’re coming here

Nice and laid back small little restaurant. Very friendly. And the chicken teriyaki we had tasted great. Very interesting to see it came with fries.

Fantastic little find while waiting near the Robina train station. Delicious food and great value for money

The meals are amazing authentic Japanese cuisine, would highly recommend for service and atmosphere to anybody.

A fantastic family run Japanese restaurant in Robina. We walked in and tried several dishes and each one of them were balanced, tasty and well presented.

The pricing was more than reasonable. We had the Agedashi Tofu, Salmon Nigiri, Pork Gyoza, Teriyaki Sweet Chilli Tofu, Wagyu Beef with Salad, Kinoto ChaShu Ramen & Chicken Nanban. We also tried the Kinoto Parfait.

All our dishes were outstanding and topped off with the friendliness of the family.

We read the reviews about the place before we tried here and I am not sure if some of the 1 star reviews are accurate.

Kinoto Japanese restaurant deserved our 5 star rating and we will be dining here again soon.

The food here is always amazing. Having lived in Japan, the food is authentic and fresh. Check out the lunch specials they are great value for month.

Pretty good restaurant, food and tastes are delicious, recommended.

One of the best Japanese food on the GC. Reasonably priced and fresh. Yoshi the owner will look after you. Does get business during the weekdays as it is close to hospital and staff grab their lunch there.

Delicious food, great quality, so affordable and really kind staff. We had the yakisoba and it was fantastic. We’ll be back for sure!!

Best Japanese food on the Gold Coast. The meals are so delicious and served with a fresh salad. The curry comes with vegetables as well as karaage chicken if you choose the chicken + the salad. We eat at Kinoto since years now and every time we try a different Japanese place we go straight back to Kinoto, they are simply the best! Oh and the price is as great as the food, so affordable. The staff and owners are really lovely also. 😊

Kinoto is one of those places at Robina that is a bit of a secret gem; about 18 years ago Jerome operated a tepanyaki style shop over near Baskin Robbins which did the best lunch specials and had a real following. Then they relocated to Station Quickstop Shops near the Woolies servo. And have been dishing up the goodness ever since. I'm boring and order the pink dragon sushi meal which is salmon and avo sushi roll, served with a little fresh salad, pickled ginger. But there's lots of choose from, even some sushi rolls in a cabinet for the grab and go lunches. The owners are so lovely, the food is fresh and quick and the menu options varied. Well worth a visit.

An hidden gem. We stumbled upon this Japanese restaurant. Hidden near the Robina station.

The authentic and classic style Japanese food was fantastic. The service was just amazing and food is made to order.

We will be back ☺
Arigato!

Been here for lunch a few times after my mum recommended it to me. I really enjoy their lunch specials - super satisfying and delicious ! (I tried the garlic chicken and teriyaki chicken - both very good!)

I like that they don't overdo it with the sauce (like some other Japanese restaurants which makes the food taste high sodium and unhealthy). They also include a good amount of veggies in their meals!
The ramen is also good! Tastes authentic. I also like that the ramen includes veggies!
