My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Mamasan in Broadbeach. The modern, vibrant atmosphere set the perfect tone for a relaxed meal. We started with the tuna tartare and Moreton Bay bugs—both fresh and beautifully prepared. The highlight was the market fish green curry, with tender fish and perfectly balanced flavors. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Mamasan’s creative take on Asian fusion cuisine makes it a great spot for a special meal.

Very authentic Japanese vibe! The yakitori flavours are on another level! Will definitely come back. Selection of wine and sake drinks are very reasonable as well! Sitting is on a minimum scale so it feels more like a personalised service than anything! Highly recommended
