TAMA Brisbane

Tama sits at 740 Ann St, a twenty-minute walk from the Queen Street Mall. The room runs smart, focusing on a Japanese menu centered on seafood and sushi. It holds one hat from the 2024 Australian Good Food Guide.

The restaurant favors precision over the sprawling, casual energy found in the nearby Botanic Gardens dining scene. While the stretch of Ann Street draws a high-energy crowd, Tama manages to feel detached from the nearby bustle. It is a more rigorous experience than its neighbors, trading the city’s typical laid-back atmosphere for a polished approach that justifies the walk from the main commercial corridor.
