Misono Japanese
Gold Coast
At a glance
Misono Japanese brings Japanese dining to Level 3 of 158 Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise, with a format built around teppan cooking, sushi and whisky. The restaurant presents several ways to dine, allowing the teppan setting, sushi bar and whisky bar to stand as separate experiences or form part of a longer evening.
The teppan experience is the most interactive of the three. Chefs cook at the grill in front of diners, pairing the preparation of Japanese food with knife work, movement and theatrical touches. Lively music and the sound of the hotplate contribute to an energetic atmosphere, while the communal arrangement suits shared meals and social occasions. The cooking style gives the meal a sense of occasion without separating the kitchen from the dining room.
The sushi bar offers a more focused setting centred on carefully prepared sushi and sashimi. It provides a quieter contrast to the teppan grill, with the preparation itself forming part of the experience. This side of Misono suits diners interested in Japanese seafood traditions and the precision associated with sushi service.
A Japanese whisky bar completes the venue's three-part concept. The bar provides a place to explore Japanese whisky and enjoy a drink before or after dinner, with a setting that looks towards the hinterland. It can also work as a standalone stop for diners seeking a Japanese-inspired bar experience rather than a full meal.
Across the venue, Misono combines food, performance and atmosphere rather than treating Japanese cuisine as a purely formal dining style. The teppan area brings energy and participation, the sushi bar highlights detailed preparation, and the whisky bar offers a slower pace. That range makes the restaurant suitable for group gatherings, shared celebrations, date-night dining and visitors looking for a more interactive meal on the Gold Coast.
Misono operates as an evening restaurant, with dining centred on dinner service. The Level 3 location is within Surfers Paradise, and parking is available on site, with valet parking also listed by the venue. Reservations are recommended for diners planning to use the teppan experience or arrange a group meal.
