About Oyama Japanese Restaurant

Run by the same family for decades, Oyama pairs lively teppanyaki theatre with conversational counter sushi in Fortitude Valley. Regulars take seats at the hot plates for flying rice, playful banter, and seared Moreton Bay bugs in garlic butter. Over at the sushi counter, chef Da Shan shapes custom temaki and slices pristine sashimi while chatting freely across the bar. Miso soup, wagyu beef rolled around seasonal vegetables, and the signature Oyama hand roll round out banquets that easily adjust for coeliacs.

  • Teppanyaki Theatre: Entertaining knife work and flying food antics suit milestone birthdays and group banquets over hot plates.
  • Chef-Led Sushi Bar: Chef Da Shan prepares bespoke hand rolls, slices sashimi, and suggests custom plates right over the counter.
  • Dedicated Dietary Care: The longtime family team readily accommodates gluten-free and coeliac dining across banquets and à la carte dishes.
