This has to be hands down my favourite restaurant. Highly recommended. I have been back several times and will continue to do so. One of the best Japanese Italian fusion restaurant in Gold Coast. Food: Spectacular. $70 for 4 course meal is definitely a go to (reminder to book). Ingredients are always fresh. Service : Great. They even take the effort to remember what I had (4 course meal) on my previous visit so that I have different dishes being serve each time I return. Pricing : Resonable. 4 course meal is definitely worth it. Overall : amazing couple, amazing chef with amazing food!!

Beun Modern Japanese is a true hidden gem in Mermaid Waters. Located off Bermuda Street - Southport - Burleigh Road on Lakeview Boulevard next to the 7-Eleven Not large in size. But, huge in style, class and ambience. Service is welcoming and friendly. The Menu is not overwhelming. Does offer some interesting options. Had the Chirashi for Entree - has Salmon, Hokkaido Scallops, Crab with Avocado and Ramen Seafood for the Main. The presentation was first class and the dishes were exceptional. Very impressive Japanese Restaurant. Highly Recommend.

Beun, simple exterior but fabulous delicious food!! Truly a Japanese fusion. Chef and staff are very friendly. Presentation is next level. It is a little pricey for the average but the quality of our meal was superb. I recommend the ramen, seafood pasta and chocolate mousse. We’ll definitely be back for more.

Overall, the experience was okay. The food presentation was fairly simple. We ordered the 400 g Angus beef steak, priced at $95, so expectations were quite high. The steak, however, was tougher than expected and a bit difficult to chew, and we weren’t provided with a knife, which made it harder to enjoy. The wait time was quite long, which we understand may be due to there being only one chef on duty. On a positive note, the pasta was the most enjoyable dish we had.

Hidden gem, the food is amazing ! My children love the miso ramen, surprise how tender the chicken breast is , like melting in mouth, and I enjoyed my beef curry. Entrees we had sashimi salmon and chirashi very fresh.

What a hidden gem Beun is. All the food were delicious. You can tell that the cool solo chef cooks with passion and attention to detail, because everything that came out from the kitchen were outstanding. If I have to give a minor criticism, it would be the amount of white rice served to us was only around half a cup. More would be much appreciated given the price. Overall, this is one of the best Japanese restaurants in GC.

It’s my second visit for my lunch. The last time was a few years ago… I had Lunch 4 courses today. Chirashi was a nice variety of toppings It’s a little bit hard to pick up with rice from the flat plate The pasta was a bit sweet for me. Because of the beef?? The chicken was super tender I was not sure about some bean stuff??? With truffle soy butter was nice Friendly service but maybe I needed more explanation about each dish I’d love to try another pasta and some main one day in a cooler season
