Oi Izakaya

Oi Izakaya sits on James Street at Burleigh Heads, one of the Gold Coast's coolest and most beloved suburbs, on a buzzing dining strip. A much-loved Japanese izakaya, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, authentic Japanese cooking and a good drinks offering (think sake and Japanese-style small plates) with a fun, characterful atmosphere.

The appeal is that combination of quality Japanese izakaya food, a good sake-and-drinks offering and a vibrant, characterful setting in a prime James Street location, ideal for a meal with friends, a date, drinks and shared plates or a sociable night out. Quality, authentic izakaya dining is a genuine treat, and in food-savvy Burleigh, Oi has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 730 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Burleigh spot fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time at Burleigh Heads.
