We took our own wine (2.50/head corkage) because Japanese restaurants have notoriously bad wine lists. Didn't see a wine list so not sure if that's the case here. Anyway, the food was a little slow coming out (this was their second night open) but when it arrived it was delicious! I could fault nothing. Sashimi was fresh, sushi was incredible, tataki had great flavor. What a lovely night. We'll be back. Probably often.

Awhile back I was taken to Manmaruya in Campsie and really enjoyed my bowl of ramen but was quite…read moreshocked at the sub standard level of service we received there. This time we gave Manmaruya in Ashfield a try for lunch. Just across the road and a short walk up Liverpool St from Ashfield mall. FOOD I shared a large Teriyaki Chicken Ramen ($14.80) and a Soft Shell Crab roll ($9.80) whilst the others ordered a Chicken Katsu Curry ($12.80), Pork Karaage Ramen ($12.80) and a large Cha-syu Ramen ($14.80). http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=ZkxW7Oe3-KJbltrXYskPZw http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=WmpErIg4qfZEH3X78JIyyw http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=RVFg9jB6Ht0NJGKa9VnqRA http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=Qtjjn-psYhib8uvgaZl-AA http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/1uWOnSumYcCFt4G_TRrptg?select=oRf113-NLeOlwA7FSkwoaQ Manmaruya's speciality is their ramen. For me the most important thing about ramen is the soup. Manmaruya has both pork and chicken soups. I personally always go for the more traditional pork based soup. I really enjoyed the one here as it is still tasty and flavoursome but at the same time not too salty unlike other ramen restaurants. The Soft Shell Crab roll was probably not the best tasting roll I've eaten but satisfied my craving for sushi that day. However it was well presented and I am definitely one to appreciate pretty looking food. Overall I thought the food is reasonably priced and the serving size was decent. SERVICE Unlike the Campsie branch this one was far less busy and so we did not have to wait to be served. The food came out within 10mins of ordering as well. VERDICT I think this is one of the better ramen places in Sydney and would recommend ramen lovers out there to give this place a try.

With an array of Vietnamese Restaurants on show while driving through the streets of Marrickville,…read moreyou'll be forgiven for not knowing Japanese Restaurant Sakae even existed. From the street Sakae looks like any other shops in the centre of a bustling Illawarra Street with its modest entrance. There's nothing flashy about this place. The menu was extensive with lots of Entree options on offer. My husband had the Tempura Entree. It's a decent size for an entree, it includes 2 pieces of prawn, 1 piece of fish and 6 pieces of veggies fried in tempura batter. I expected tempura batter to be light and this feels heavier than what I'm used to. I had the Yakizana Entree. It's lightly salted half grilled Mackerel. The fish had been de-boned and the skin was crispy. It was a nice dish. Highlight of the night was the Deluxe Sashimi. It contains 22 pieces of sashimi goodness. It was a feast of raw Salmon, Tuna and Kingfish, as well as scallops, oyster, squid and Ikura or Salmon Caviar. Cut with great consistency, everything was fresh and the Ikura was real (unlike some other Sushi/Japanese place that serves fake ones). It was delish! I was a bit disappointed with the Cooked Tuna and Cucumber Hand Roll. The tuna was too mushy and it was so loosely rolled that when picked up most of the fillings fell out. But the mini rolls were neat and beautifully presented. The service was warm and friendly. And overall it was a pleasant experience. Would love to try other entrees the next time we come.
