The restarting itself is hip and service is fast. Now to the sushi part... Oh My GOD! The fish is high quality. You can TASTE the difference comparing to many other business around the area. It has a train that delivers the sushi and you could also order from the chefs. There is also a menu that you can order from. I got their salmon sashimi and it just salivated in my mouth. I also ordered a salmon and tuna hand roll and it was spot on. If you are looking for a quick sit down with GREAT quality sushi. This is the place to go.

Being back in civilisation after a weekend of gumbooting my way around Splendour In The Mud had nearly broken me. Nearly. Enter Kinoko. Five of us were able to sit down, pick up some immediate necessities from the train (wakame salad - check. Salmon sashimi - check.) as well as order a few specialities from the made-to-order menu like agedashi eggplant, udon and gourmet rolls. Definitely a spot I'd visit again if in the area - hopefully next time in a much less savage mood. Any restaurant that can gracefully feed five feral festival-goers and somehow manage to please each and every one of us is definitely worth repeating.

We did not have a booking so understood, no table available, so we were seated at the sushi counter.. terribly uncomfortable. Once seated we were completely ignored by the waitress as the evening rush started. Now normally I'm not one to complain about such things but our food was okay, nothing wow, just okay- had chicken karaage, miso, edamame, and ramen. Ordered sushi as well. We enjoyed most of it but basic things such as soy and pickled ginger was not provided. We had to ask for it several times. No dipping bowels provided either, again we had to ask for these .. several times. Given that we had spent a considerable amount of money here one would expect the basics to be done right. Not asking too much I think. Basically, this place has gained a popular reputation and the waitstaff treated us as if they were doing us a favour or something. Snooty and presumptuous at the very least. I will NOT be coming back here anytime soon! Try it at your own risk.. if you want to be treated badly, or looked down upon. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere folks. Don't fall for the hype of this place. Just use and contemptuous...

Serving are generous and so fresh. the teriyaki chicken was mouth watering and so too, the prawn tempura salad. The sushi was stunning. The food experience was great and we had a good coffee.

Service is always great and Id advise a reservation if coming during peak hours. Their lunch specials are fantastic. $27 for steak plus one additional item. I tent to get prawn. It all comes freshly made on the teppanyaki grill. Their main courses come with a soup, salad, and steamed rice as well. However I usually upgrade to the fried rice. You also get a choice of sauce, the garlic is my favorite! However two other sauces accompany your dish for dipping. I believe one is ginger and the other is mustard. The ginger one is amazing! There is lots of different seating options. You can get a fancy-looking communal table, regular table, booth, or sit by the teppanyaki grills and watch the chefs cook your food while performing tricks. All the food comes out relatively fast and tastes delicious. They know how to season and cook it properly. The waitresses are always full of smiles and very accommodating. There is a surcharge if you use Amex or dine on holidays however with their reasonable prices I would still come on those days. For dinner the selection is a lot wider and you can add on sushi dishes or huge combinations. Everything is made fresh and will leave you stuffed. Highly recommend this place!

While the kids had Chicken Teriyaki (best I have eaten). We all had the fried rice which was the main engagement piece with the chefs. Will go again and won't hesitate to recommend.
