Bishamon

3/5 Bishamon is a Japanese restaurant at 500 Boundary St Spring Hill
approx $20-$30
Sorry if this entry is a bit vague but I'm operating on blurry memory. I went to Bishamon a few weeks ago on a Monday night and arrived fairly late (for Brisbane on a Monday) at about 8:30 pm, at the start the service was pretty fantastic and our beers (Yebisu) were very prompt, we were also given a complimentary egg cube? with some sort of onions which was somewhat tasty. we skipped entree due to the lack of finances at the time and instead one of my partners and i ordered the Shabu Shabu (a sort of group beef hot pot) our waiter informed us that the shabu shabu could come as a single hot pot or with unlimited meat and vegetables for only a few dollars more, we optioned for the unlimited hotpot, our other friend ordered an entree alone (vegetarian).
The Shabu Shabu came out quite quickly and with a giant tray of vegetable and another entirely made of meat, the only fault being that the vegetable tray wasn't entirely mushrooms. all in all 3 and half trays of some of the finest beef i've had in Brisbane were eaten between my friend and i with a significant portion of the food uneaten we left to have our inevitable meat sweats.
as the night went on the service got worse but that may have been caused by my personal raucous attitude that night or by the fact that we got there approximately an hour before closing time.
regardless of any failures Bishamon is a fantastic restaurant definitely worthy of revisiting in the near future.

Introduction

Hey, this is my new food blog i'm writing up, i am reviewing all the restaurants i go to from this day forward and posting it in my blog. ill also be reviewing anything else i think needs to get out there, like butchers, bakers and the sort for the quality of their food. If you think i should review a place go ahead and tell me about it, food is the most important factor in a places rating, service and decor take a far second place.
thanks and i hope you enjoy reading this blog.
