Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Motto Motto Japanese Kitchen in Chermside, Brisbane, presents Japanese food through a more contemporary restaurant format. The concept grew from the kitchen of Sono, an established Australian Japanese restaurant, and draws on elements of traditional Japanese fine dining while aiming for a more approachable everyday setting. Its focus is on carefully prepared food rather than a specified style of décor or service, with the venue describing itself as a Japanese kitchen reimagined.
The website highlights premium ingredients and several signature offerings. These include cooked-to-order premium Wagyu beef, sashimi-grade salmon and a ramen super broth that the restaurant identifies as famous. The menu also provides allergen information and a seafood-origin key, indicating that ingredient details are part of the dining information available to guests. Beyond those named highlights, the site does not provide enough detail to accurately describe the full menu, dining room or service style.
Motto Motto may suit diners looking for a contemporary take on Japanese restaurant dining in Chermside, whether they are interested in a more polished meal or want to explore the venue’s signature dishes. Its connection to Sono gives the restaurant a clear background and culinary point of difference, while its emphasis on premium ingredients and made-to-order food helps explain the experience it is trying to offer. A membership program is also promoted, with benefits including exclusive events, freebies and other rewards.
