The owner is charming and attentive. Zipangu is THE place to go for sushi lovers in Port Douglas. Do not hesitate to walk the ten minutes down Davidson Street, away from the bustle of Macrossan. You will be richly rewarded.

This was an out of the way place, but the sushi was good. We had a variety of sushi and ramen. It was all good. read more This was an out of the way place, but the sushi was good. We had a variety of sushi and ramen. It was all good.

However, the food is truly spectacular and the service is warm and friendly. While not the most affordable option, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. My expectations were exceeded in every way. If you're in the mood for high-quality Japanese cuisine in Port, this place is definitely worth checking out. Just be sure to book in advance as it's a small establishment that fills up quickly.

Lovely service and husband and wife owners-their care for the food really shows. Beautiful fresh food, the miso was piping hot and fresh, as was the vegetable tempura (light and tasty batter), salmon sushi, gyoza, edamame and crispy chicken karaage. Not cheap (very few places in Port are), but worth it for really beautiful quality food, lovely non-pressured service and great sake. We ordered a heap, but will definitely be back next time to try desserts too.
