Not even kidding but I have Oishi's phone number saved for ease of access to make reservations whenever my friends and family are craving good sushi. That's when you know it's a definite go to ! They don't mess around with silly western flavors or fusions - their menu is quite traditional Japanese. You can order sushi, noodles, side dishes, rice dishes here which is great if you're not feeling just sushi. They offer fresh sashimi and fried sushi rolls too which is so yummy. Had the udon noodles for the first time rather than just the sushi and I was so pleased it was so simple but executed well.

I'm a big fan because.. 1) This place has A&W Rootbeer (woohoo, go the asian in me) 2) This place has green tea ice cream 3) This place serves up a mean agedashi tofu (om nom nom nom) My weakness for agedashi tofu was realised here along with my weakness for the seaweed salad, potato salad and edamame. Oh the edamame. So much of it. In fact the Yakitori Chicken is pretty good too, so is most the stuff on the entree section of the menu. Damn this place! So our bill did come up to a whopping $80 for the 4 of us... but we left there feeling satisfied, feeling like we would come back and feeling like we wouldn't be sick the next day - which is always a good thing. Definetely going back there.

Knowing it's my weakness, of course whenever I go to Japanese restaurants I always place an order. I'm glad to report there's nothing fishy with the sashimi at Sakura. The thicker than usual slices of salmon, tuna and white fish melted in my mouth. Their agadashi tofu also passed the test being crunchy on the outside with a silky soft centre and a refreshing, soy-based dipping sauce. Their standard fare such as the tempura, curry and teriyaki chicken was just average but as far as I'm concerned, their excellent sashimi makes up for this. Don't forget to try their green tea ice-cream. It's delicious even if it can cause insomnia if ordered too late in the evening.

We arrived as a party of four on a Saturday evening, a public holiday to boot, and were only just able to be seated at the bar seats overlooking the kitchen.

There's a sign on the door that sets the expectation of a potential wait outside while seats become available. Ordering your ramen happens as soon as you enter so make sure you've taken a look at the menu before entering. There's several styles of ramen including salt or miso. For $11-$12, your bowl of broth is an affordable morsel of soul restoring food. Totemo oishii desu!

Firstly, it's a pity this is such a small shop with no proper seating areas for those wanting to eat "in." I've put speech marks in that because the seating area is actually outdoors as the place is a kiosk. There's really only room for maybe four people to sit there. Secondly, I LOVED the yakitori! The rice bowl had seaweed and spring onions and yakitori sauce, which was a savoury sweet and addictive flavour. So yum. And at $8.50, it's definitely a bargain. I really wish they had a bigger space. An actual restaurant so people can sit comfortably. I would definitely go back again to try out other things on the menu.

Nikumaki Honpo has a little shop front which faces onto the parking lot. Even all the signs pointing people in its direction doesn't direct as much traffic here as this little shop deserves. It also doesn't help that they sell obscure parcels of deliciousness called Nikumaki. What is that you ask. Well, they're oven baked steamed rice balls wrapped with marinated slices of pork. They really are delicious though not as practical to eat as a sushi roll. One roll makes a decent lunch and at $4 each, it's a bargain price. Make sure you ask for the free chilli and coriander toppings. Simply delicious! Warning: Nikumakis are baked regularly and come out of the oven piping hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.

Generally is quite good, well flavoured, plenty of vegetables and a decent sized small bowl. Last week, it was the first thing I ordered. It came quite quickly, before my wife's first couple of aburi. Without a joke, there was about 1 centimetre of miso in the bottom of the bowl. It was incredulous. Taste was fine but about 5 spoonfuls finished it. Though I was ordering more, I cancelled them and left. A long term customer bringing the family on a regular basis, and they often go separately now, and that is what you get! Seriously, blame the server, the weather, whatever - it was a joke. Same big urn in the back right hand corner that it comes out of - how can someone serve such a paltry amount and think that is ok? Wife's was fine but I don't put up with absolutely disgraceful service like that. Was suggested to me to go tonight, but there is no way I am going back until I am sure they have picked up their game. Reminded me to highlight the poor service I received.

They offer a variety of sushi train sushi, udon, ramen, sizzling platters, sashimi, mochi, cheesecake, sodas & Japanese alcohol.

I noticed that Little Red Dumpling, one of many small restaurants in the Pinelands Plaza shopping strip, advertised "xiao long bao" on their online menu so we gave it a taste test. The restaurant is small but attractive with unusual lacquered timber slab tables and small backless stools. The stools allow more room for customers but we had to sidle up against the wall to rest our backs. The soup dumplings were delicious. We ate them as an entree. My companion's main course of chicken noodle soup was too bland. My braised beef on rice was quite acceptable but nothing special. Service was efficient and very pleasant. 4 stars for the xiaolongbao but only 3 stars for the mains.
