J's Surf & Turf, Brighton

Had high expectations after reading some good reviews but didn't really find anything that fantastic about the place. The sushi was pretty poor, didn't exactly taste fresh. Just seemed very western, could of got the same type of food at a food court.

All you can eat.

Beef salad is the best dish I had there. Plenty variation of food are served. The service is good too. The only bad thing from this store is the location is a bit far away from where I live. However after dinner, It will be worth it

The service is pretty good. The waiter was very friendly and helpful.

All you can eat for $28 per head, with a variety of delicious dishes. Also includes dessert and fruits. Tempura and beef salad is delicious.

I've been going to J's for a while and have seen the place steadily declining!

Since they've expanded the restaurant they have increased their pricing AND taken items off the 'all you can eat menu'.

They are also rationing some items, I asked for an extra serve of Gyoza and was told there was a limit of one per table (there were six of us at the table!)...doesn't sound like 'all you can eat' does it?

Also they charged extra for the green tea ice cream which used to be included.

the food itself is always good with the exception of sushi that's been sitting in the fridge a bit too long.

Possibily the last time I go there.

We had read all the good ratings on WOMOW and decided to check it out ourselves. The restaurant is very non-descript and don't expect any fancy decor.

We thought we would order a large range of different dishes between the 4 of us to get a real feel for it. I have to say that every single dish we ordered was delicious!! We had Sushi, Sashimi and California rolls (these are not like the dry boring ones you get at a shopping centre). We then had Tempura Prawns (yum) followed by a beef salad with sesame dressing that was extremely tasty. We then had some Gyu Don (beef) and Teriyaki Don (chicken).

We had definitely over-ordered but we ate every last bit because it was so nice, and the food worked out to less than $20 per head - amazing! Then they offered us some free (that's right free!) vanilla and green-tea ice-cream, some seasonal fruit and a bowl of lollies. Such a rare thing to be given something for free these days.

More restaurants should learn from these guys, that a lot of goodwill can be gained by giving something that doesn't cost you much away for free. We will be taking our kids back with us next time cos it seems to be very family friendly. You would be wise to book because it was practically full on a Wednesday night.

I don't know how these guys do it at the price. I feel really bad when paying the bill, like I've ripped them off! The food is sensational. Highly recommend the beef salad. Other comments about the sushi and sushimi being pre made are harsh - you can't expect them to be made on order in such a busy place, otherwise you wouldn't get your meal within 5 or 10 minutes like you do. They make it fresh that morning.

It's small but they have now bought the shop next and expanded, so much better now. I can't fault this place for value and service, and the quality of the food is outstanding at the price. Yum.

My family (and now my boyfriends family) love this place! Book ahead. The all you can eat is value for money if you have a big appetite. Otherwise if we are going as a group we order a bunch of different dishes and share! Brought out quickly and you can order as you go. A fun night out.

I have been there twice now, and already looking forward to the next visit! The "buffet" was really great! not pre-cooked but cooked on request! What would you like? they asked! Just bring us what you want, was our reply! had a great variety of food i would never have thought to ask for!

TOTALLY recommended

JJ's is fantastic – it’s a stepford wives meets quentin tarantino experience that just can’t be replicated. As you try and snag a seat in the retro dining area the size of grandma's kitchen the sashimi chef, who commands full view of the room, goes right at it with razor sharp blades moving at blistering speed, purposeful in a way only the Japanese can be, while the light sweat on his brow seeps slowly into his rising sun headband.

Service:

The service was fantastic, if you are being serve by someone who speaks English. We had 3 waitresses, 1 can speak a good English, 2 who we need to repeat ourself a few times.

Food:

(bad)

The sashimi and sushi were below average, the salmon and tuna were not fresh.

(good)

- The prawn tempura was excellent. When we order the second serve of the Prawn tempura, they gave us heaps of them.

- The Nasu Dengaku was great. We ordered 4 serve of those

Overall:

For the price they charged, I would prefer a normal Japanese restaurant in the city. Probably will cost us a little more, but at least we getting the quality.
