Half filled at 8:30 on a Thursday night. For those who are indecisive they proudly offer a half half solution where you can have both udon noodles and rice bowl. Today I chose a need udon and a teriyaki salmon rice bowl ($1 extra). Salad side complimentary. Familiar Japanese flavours consistent with other Japanese restaurants in urban Australia. Teriyaki salmon was somewhat sweet. Familiar teriyaki flavours. Udon was nice - very umami as a combination of seaweed and beef. The broth was not strong. Nice thick noodles. Serving size is OK not completely filling. The salad is always a bit of a hit and miss with Japanese restaurants. They each have their own twist on a salad but this particular dressing was quite acidic. The price is quite reasonable for the convenient location. A good experience overall.

Masuya Suisan AKA Sushi of Masuya is definitely up there and may well be our new go-to joint! Okay, I'm a sucker for karaage chicken. I suck, but I can't help it and yes, it was tasty. I wasn't really into the agedashi tofu. Nice, but totally not what I thought it'd taste like. Forever tainted by the agedashi tofu I had in Tokyo. Also order the yuzu green tea because I love yuzu anything? I'd always been a fan, but the trip to Tokyo really tipped me over the edge to obsession and oh lord. The otoro nigiri looks so stingy; in fact, it fell apart when I went to pick it up. It still tasted damn fine though. Also, that is some of the freshest uni I've had in Sydney.

We were initially seated at a table for 2 people, but when the table next to us left, we were able to combine the tables. Service is a little slow, which is understandable since it was busy, but there were also plenty of servers. I got the salmon sashimi and it was amazing, nice and buttery. My friends shared a sashimi dish (forgot the name, but it had a variety of sashimi). We all shared the garlic hot pot, and I got a side of rice, since what is hot pot without some rice?? The broth was delicious, and the meat and veggies in the hot pot definitely hit the spot!

They cleared anything used right away and were always asking if things were okay. I asked for a drink I saw here on Yelp in a photo and they made it for me, given it did not look anything like it but it tasted lovely and we all had a good laugh about how unalike it was from the original picture! I tried sushi tacos for the first time ever, and although I wouldn't go that route again purely off of preferring seaweed to be not crunchy, I am glad I tried it and ate the whole thing. I'd definitely return to try something different next time!

I was happy w the food - just wish my bento box came w rice (which is what I am use to). Overall good food and nice environment - I would recommend.

My new found favourite japanese restaurant in Surry Hills!…read more We came here around 6.15pm on a Saturday, they were going to turn us down as they were fully booked but agreed to give us a table if we leave by 8pm. I tried the dinner set menu $33. Every item I had was really good, especially the sushi roll, it was bigger than expected. The tonkatsu was not oily and i love how it came with rice (unlike sushi suma). Though i was extremely full when i was done, they brought dessert! A small panna cotta but really good as well. I really like how the table was spaced out more than Sushi Suma, so it's not like you are invading other people privacy. Will definitely be back :) *Note: Always make a reservation to avoid disappointment!*

Perhaps a little too intimate with other diners but that possibly added to the Japanese vibe. Clean and well presented fare and very generous servings all keenly priced. Sashimi plate was a wonderful starter as was the salmon carpaccio. Tofu and eggplant - must-haves and the teriyaki chicken was spot on and very generous in size. Alas we over ordered and added tempura vegetables which were stella but we had little room left. Wine list was extensive enough and draught beer was available. Attentive staff and full awareness of a radical (crustacea) allergy I had. Want to go back and explore more of the menu. I thought everything we had was really well executed.

Everything was really tasty and fresh. The sashami was great! Overall the total bill for two people with like 8 plates, miso soup and hot tea was about $60. Take away deals are even better! Great place for sushi with friendly service!

Japanese food for me is about clean flavour and simplicity yet complex taste that I love…read more Been here three times for lunch with my colleagues. On my first visit I had the Beef Yaki Udon. It was tasty but I found the portion was really small. I was still hungry afterwards. On my second visit I tried their Bibimbap. The portion was much better but I was disappointed with the egg. Bibimbap that I know would have a raw egg yolk which would be placed at the top centre of the dish. Instead there was a fried egg sitting on top of my Bibimbap. On my third visit I sat down at their Sushi Train section. There weren't that many options presented to me on that train, and all of them were slathered with a lot of either sauce or Mayo. I ended up choosing only about 4 plates as I didn't want anything else on there. And they were quite pricey too. The service was quick and the staff was helpful. Most of their food were tasty. Great option for work lunch if you happen to work in the city.

This place was everything I didn't know I wanted. I ordered the Menya Ramen (the first item on the…read moremenu) with pork and it was soooooo delicious. The pork fell apart, it was a perfect balance of noodles and toppings and soup. The seaweed was an extra nice touch. Husband had fried chicken udon and enjoyed it. We split edamame.

It tasted nice and it has a great variety to choose from which is awesome! There's only one problem. It cost! And cost a fair bit! Considering we are at world square and there's basically food everywhere; an asking price of $20 is honestly quite steep. especially when completion is so stiff with China town just next door. Drinks are pricy too, but I guess at least it's more inline with other places. I still recommend to try it out if you had never. Not a bad place. Just be prepared for the bill. A random plus. They play quite relaxing music there. Japanese take to classical.
