Bincho - Brisbane

I arrived at this establishment later in the evening, when it had transitioned from a restaurant to a bar. My initial impression was that it had a really nice atmosphere. However, my first thought was that the bartender should stop chatting with his friends and come serve me. After five minutes, someone else finally came to take my order and I was able to get a beer and sit down. The other downside to this place is that the restroom layout is very confusing. I nearly entered the wrong restroom due to the unclear symbols. Despite these issues, it would be a pleasant place if the service was faster.

The food was a bit greasy, but incredibly tasty. I might not return on my own, but would choose more wisely if in a group. The menu was not extensive, but adequate. The staff was wonderful and I have no complaints. The lychee cocktail was amazing!

Dinner and drinks on the 18/4/2015 with two friends. the menu is many small bites that were great so that we share a series of things. I would recommend the lotus chips and the pork bells skewers. eating is good...price for quality and the fact that there are so many small bites that they can order as little or as much as they want. they have an interesting cocktail menu that I would like to visit the next one. we drank wodka soda’s, who were respectively $6 (so cheap). there is a very cool mood at this place, the decor is fantastic, the bathrooms have quirky functions and the dj plays some rocking tunes! the service was fantastic, we were greeted with a smile when we entered and our waitress was very informative and attentive. I will certainly be back to bincho!

Bincho Brisbane brings a touch of cool Tokyo to Brisbane. The restaurant is located in the historic Empire Hotel at 339 Brunswick St in Fortitude Valley. It serves as a bar, restaurant, and even has a DJ stand for a fun night out. The menu is designed for sharing, but with so many tempting options, guests may end up wanting to keep it all to themselves. The menu features a wide selection of yakitori, with meats and vegetables cooked over binchotan charcoal and skewered with a special glaze, ranging from $3.50 to $7. There are also smaller options like miso soup, edamame, and corn fritters for $2-$6.50, as well as larger options including seared tuna and karaage for $6-$11.50. Gluten-free options are available upon request, and there are also vegetarian dishes on offer. Don't miss out on the delicious chicken wings and corn fritters with wasabi mayo. Bincho is a fantastic spot for eating, drinking, and dancing all in one place, with great service all around. Tip: Visit Bincho Brisbane during the week for a more intimate atmosphere without the weekend crowds and rowdiness in Fortitude Valley.

This place certainly seems to be pretty popular, though my experience wasn't so much with the restaurant, but rather with the bar (which is seems to become
