From Nigiri to Maki, 5 Of the Best Sushi Trains on the Gold Coast

When you really think about it, sushi trains and the beach are the perfect combo. I’m not talking about sushi trains on the beach, but along the promenade, yes. What else would you want to eat on a 30-degree day? Sushi. It’s light, fresh, and easy to eat.

On the Gold Coast, sushi trains dominate, bringing the fun and interactive way of picking sushi off a conveyor belt to locals and tourists. Here are five to try the next time you’re on the Gold Coast.

Sushi Honba

Burleigh Heads
Sushi Honba is one of the most popular spots to grab sushi on the Gold Coast. You will either find a line of people outside or tables filled inside. So what makes it so popular? They use fresh ingredients and traditional techniques, and the variety is wide, so expect to see a few different dishes every time you visit. The self-service mayo is always a welcome surprise, and the pickled ginger on the table should not be overlooked.
