About Mobo Restaurant

Tucked beneath the Story Bridge in Kangaroo Point, Mobo pairs Japanese courtyard calm with simmering tableside hotpot. Locals gather over communal sukiyaki—dipping tender wagyu beef straight into whisked raw egg—or line up plates of kingfish sashimi and the signature Mobo Roll. Between the gentle murmur of the water fountain and welcoming hospitality, the meal winds down over crispy tempura ice cream.

  • Tableside Sukiyaki: Communal hotpot simmered with tender wagyu, broth, and vegetables, finished with raw egg.
  • Courtyard Dining & BYO: Dine in a tranquil courtyard setting with melodic music, greenery, and BYO flexibility.

Why Diners Choose Mobo Restaurant

Authentic flavors, serene courtyard vibes, and welcoming hospitality in Kangaroo Point

  • Interactive Sukiyaki Hotpot Dining

    Mobo serves interactive sukiyaki hotpot prepared tableside with tender beef, flavourful broth, and raw egg dipping.

    I was suggested to cook the beef and dip it into whisked raw egg and just eat it. It's very delicious!

  • Attentive Celebration Hospitality

    Staff deliver personalized hospitality for special occasions, arranging private seating and celebratory touches.

    Since I mentioned it was for a birthday celebration, they kindly arranged a more private corner for us.

  • Thoughtful Family Care

    The team accommodates families with toddler tableware, engaging service, and mindful table safety.

    We were there with our toddler and they really went over and above and beyond, including bringing toddler friendly plates, cups, cutlery, etc to downright entertaining my toddler and bringing her toys.

  • BYO Beverage Flexibility

    Guests can pair their favourite wines with dinner thanks to convenient BYO bottle flexibility.

    It has a lovely ambience and being a BYO is a bonus.

  • Sukiyaki

    Sukiyaki: The wagyu beef was incredibly tender and fresh — literally melts in your mouth. Highly recommended!

  • Wagyu melt

    But the star of the show, for me, was the Wagyu melt. It was like a little piece of culinary heaven on a plate. The tenderness of the Wagyu was simply divine, and the flavors were an exquisite dance on my taste buds.

    Kingfish Sashimi: Clean, sweet, and refreshing!

  • Mobo Roll

    Mobo Roll: A must-try roll with salmon and scallop. Super fresh and surprisingly filling.

Sides, specialty cocktails, and desserts to complete your meal

  • tempura ice cream

    For dessert, I highly recommend the tempura ice cream – a delightful and unique way to finish the meal. It's like Japan's answer to the classic ice cream sundae, with a crispy twist.

    The soft shell crab was a stand out but everything was great.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on parking, celebration bookings, and dietary choices

  • Plan Around Kangaroo Point Parking

    Street parking in Kangaroo Point can be tight during evening dinner service, though dedicated on-site spaces are available if you arrive early.

  • Add Celebration Details When Reserving

    If you are visiting for an anniversary or birthday, mention it in advance—staff often arrange quiet corners or decorated dessert plates with sparklers.

  • Review Vegetarian and Dietary Choices

    The menu accommodates gluten-free diners, but hot cooked dishes for vegetarians are limited to tempura options, so plan combinations in advance.
