Haruka Japanese Cuisine - Redlynch

We are foodies living in magnificent Cairns. We have experienced cuisines from the world over during our travels. This restaurant has really great Japanese food.Service was prompt and obliging especially when my wife Cynthia (the most amazing cook in my view) kept asking for more wasabi!!BYO so that meant we could take our special and favourite wines. Loved all the dishes we ordered. The misu soup was probably the best I have had.Will definitely be going back. This taste and value has truly raised the bar for other Japanese restaurants in Cairns and Australia wide.Go there and have a great meal.

The quality of the food is well above average. Seafood and other specials are always on offer. The staff is lovely. Definitely worth trying if you like Japanese food.

I usually go here for my birthday - it's definitely one of my favourite places to eat in Cairns - best shared amongst friends. My absolute favourites include:- the Hokkaido style scallops, with burnt butter miso sauce, nasu dengaku, which is miso glazed roasted eggplant, - chewy crumbed octopus pieces, - natto (fermented soy beans) omelette, - agedashi tofu which is soft tofu rolled in potato starch and fried, then added to dashi broth and topped with shaved dried fish. -The salmon garlic fried rice is very popular and their house miso, which seems to vary, puts all other miso in Cairns to shame - sometimes there are salmon pieces, sometimes small chunks of soft daikon or other root vegetables. Order a few of these dishes with some rice and pickles and you have yourself a divine Japanese feast.Highly recommended.

We loved it. Sat outside on the sidewalk. Friendly. Helpful. Great menu. Very good value. BYO wine ok. We'd highly recommend this place for a lovely dinner

Went with friends on saturday night. Food was excellent. it was great to have some Japanese cuisine besides sushi rolls etc. Lots of choice. Even scallops were on the menu which were very nice. You can order a bit at a time or a whole lot at once. It pays to order a heap of starters at once as there is only 4 or 5 pieces on each plate. The mains are more substantial... main meal size that you can have by yourself with some rice. Also the plum wine is very nice!!!!
