Savour Japanese delights and sake flights at the new-look Kiyomi
If you salivate at the thought of melt-in-your-mouth wagyu and the freshest fish sliced before your eyes, then you can’t go past the delicacies of Japanese cuisine. Since first welcoming diners in 2014, Kiyomi at The Star Gold Coast has set the standard for unforgettable Japanese dining spots on the Gold Coast. With a recent glow-up, Kiyomi is looking and tasting as fresh as ever.
Step into Kiyomi, where tradition meets innovation in the most delicious way. Known for its mastery of authentic Japanese cooking techniques, Kiyomi is a culinary journey that blends time-honoured flavours with modern flair, turning every meal into an extraordinary experience.
With chefs Winson Law and Andrew Tam driving the culinary experience, Kiyomi brings together the refined art of Japan’s finest cuisine and Australia’s bold love for fresh, local ingredients. Expect exciting new dishes like red snapper sashimi with kombujime amaebi and a tangy ginger lime dressing, or Mooloolaba prawn toast with a kick of karashi miso, spanner crab and cabbage. It’s not just the seafood that shines – the wagyu flank with umami puree, shimejis and kombu veal jus is a guaranteed show-stopper.
Kiyomi also offers a curated beverage menu, featuring premium sakes, Japanese whiskies, world-class wines, champagne and innovative cocktails – like the Taiyou Rise, which mixes yuzu sake, pink grapefruit, lemongrass and elderflower for a zingy sip.
Dining here is more than just a meal – it transports you to Japan. The new look features contemporary lighting and striking Japanese calligraphy to create an intimate atmosphere, while a newly added 16-seat private dining area offers exclusive gatherings with a ten-course omakase option or the premium omakase menu, featuring a chef demonstration. Trust us when we say this is an experience that will remain a treasured memory for many years to come.
For a modern take on Japanese dining with a respectful nod to tradition, add Kiyomi to your list of must-eats this spring.
