For a late dinner, the Yiros shop on James Street in Fortitude Valley is open until 9pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends. Our favourite? The halloumi chips and pork belly yiros. If you’re sharing, get a plate of calamari or fish and chips.

Check out the menu here.

For gyoza

Japanese-inspired Harajuku Gyoza is a student-friendly spot for casual dining and group dinners. If you’re still hungry after plates of grilled or poached gyoza, try their dessert gyoza – we recommend the Nutella.

Open until 10pm

For Japanese-style barbecue

Yakiniku Hachi is one of the newest residents of the Elizabeth Street Arcade. Think do-it-yourself charcoal grilling and a range of delicious sides. Open until 10pm this spot is popular, so you may need to line up for a table, but we can guarantee it will be well worth it.

Jimmy’s has been feeding the late night wanderers since 1982. They are open 24 hours and although their meals are on the pricier side, the lush fit-out and great service makes it worth it. There are different menus for the lower and upper deck of the restaurant, and there’s table service only on the lower level. Go here for burgers, salads and steaks.
