Asahi super black
Kurt C.

I have eaten here a few times, although it had been a while. I came here for a work lunch this time. There were plenty lunch sets to choose from, under $20 too. I had the chirashi set, an assortment of sashimi served on rice.The meal was a decent size and was served with agedeshi tofu and miso soup. The sashimi was fresh the agedeshi was nice enough and miso soup is pretty much miso soup. They have some nice whisky on the menu and asahi super dry black on tap. I will be back for lunch and to try more of the menu. A great lunch spot serving quality food for a decent price.

My photo is better then the photos in the iPad menu XD

Hero Sushi - Fresh sushi is constantly made for the sushi train

$3.50 for each dish was a steal for the quality sushi they make…read more Every dish was $3.50 but the sashimi was around $6-7. It's super quick, convenient and tasty at the same time! I found the quality of the sushi was pretty good for a sushi train. They were constantly making new sushi and adding it to the train therefore you were never really eating "old" sushi. If the sushi you wanted wasn't on the train, you had the option to order it off the menu and they get served to your table very quickly. There's nothing to complain about this place. It's quick, easy & you're able to go back to shopping on a full and satisfied stomach :)

This Sushi train will draw you in with its signs plastered on the windows $3.50 sushi plates all…read moreday all night. Sold! Then as you walk into the humongous space you'll be amazed at the longest sushi train you've ever seen! It whirls, winds & bends throughout the entire space which is cool if you're decisive as if you aren't you'll miss the train & it could be a while till that dish comes back by you if it already hasn't been gobbled up by the crowds who frequent this joint. But its all about the experience so enjoy the train ride! The sushi chefs are busily going back & forth to the kitchen to get fresh new ingredients to work their magic, so theres constantly new dishes been put onto the train from your traditional rolls to black rice sushi & cornflakes encrusted sushi. There are cute little signs on plates which explain what certain fish or rice are, the benefits for those in the need to know what they're gobbling. Theres also a range of Japanese flavoured gelato on offer. Just remember to get the wait staff to calculate your bill before you go to the cash register to pay for all the plates you ended up stacking up. A great pop in for a quick snack but also a great environment to bring your friends, tantalise over the plates while they choo-choo past you. You can opt for the usual bar dining or there are actual benches that cater to groups so you're not having to play chinese whispers down the bench with your group.

Went here tonight after a recommendation and wondering if it really was sushi, with a twist. This…read moreabsolutely satisfied me. It was awesome. I note they have $4 plates on Monday and Friday nights for the regular Sushi options, like prawn nigiri, chicken katsu etc. However with some other interesting options like prosciutto and fig. They have other interesting menu options from the kitchen which I was very keen to try. I ordered the "Katafi prawn", a large prawn freshly fried with stringy crispy coating and salt and herbs atop. This was delicious. There were two in the serving. I then got the prawns and honey chips which was lightly fried prawns with a slightly spicy sauce and vegetable chips with a touch of honey. Again, delicious. I also ordered then salmon jalepeno which was thinly sliced pieces of sashimi on top of cucumber with a jalepeno sauce and jalepenos. Not spicy, but tasted very good. I also got an amazing "harmony tartare" (salmon belly, scallop, avocado and wasabi citrus dressing) YUM !! I got a dessert to take home for when I wasn't full anymore and OMG amazing, a coco pop/mars bar style Slice with a caramel log, white chocolate and popcorn. phenomenal. The theming was like a normal sushi train, with some really cool "sushi fish" lights. They also offer take away and delivery. The man Serving was lovely and the other employees busily working at the back. I loved everything I tried and would be keen to go back and try more!! What a find.

I had a decent meal here last night with my partner. All the rolls we tried were good, and they…read moreeven had a few unusual ones like "prosciutto and fig". The miso soup would have been better if it was hotter. There were at least three items we tried to order from the menu that the server told us had been removed or were unavailable, so they need to update their menu. I will likely go back again and hope they work out the kinks by then.

This is my local Japanese Sushi restaurant located in the heart of Kingsford. Niji is named after…read morethe diverse colour and taste associated with food. A step up from the local Sushi Train experience, the restaurant offers the familiar 'sushi on a plate' going round a track experience or you can enjoy the a la carte dining experience featuring a contemporary Japanese menu infused with traditional Japanese Izakaya dishes with Western ingredients & modern taste seated at a table. I advise you to make a reservation as I t can be very busy 6pm- 8pm Th, Fri,Sat. If you walk in without a reservation, you can expect to wait for about five to ten minutes to be seated. Joyce the manager usually welcomes you and organised your seating. The food choice is varied and easily ordered by the attentive wait staff. The Sushi plates on the rotating track are very good value for money. I like how you can order freshly made choices. There are so many to choose from! Sashimi- Salmon, Tuna, King Fish, Scampi, Scallops or Sushi favourites like inside out rolls - Salmon Tobiki, spicy soft shell crab, crumbled chicken, spicy tuna and seared scallops. Hot dishes are also available. Freshly fried or steamed Pork Gyoza, Karaage Chicken, Takoyaki Balls and Crab Claws. Salads - Soy Beans, Seaweed and mixed green salads add to your meal experience. The main a la carte menu choices are also my favourite. Plenty of choices - Tempura prawn,Tempura vegetables, Tora Karaage (chicken), Chicken or Waggu Beef Teriyaki. All dishes are served with rice. If you have room for it at the end you must try the Boom Alaska - Pandan meringue, green tea ice cream, sponge cake and Pandan curd. A mouth watering treat! I know some reviewers are saying this is NOT true Japanese cuisine but 'look alike food' created by Koreans and Chinese. Well I'm telling you - it doesn't have to be made by Japanese to taste like real Japanese food. Food ingredients are the same regardless of who makes it! End of story.

Not sure how I come across this place but yup, decided to give it a try. The store was quite easy…read moreto find as it is located next to the carwash area. Was the first one to come in and was given seat as soon as I entered. The sushi rolls on the menu looked appetizing so decided to go for Spicy Waka Roll (assorted sashimi, shallots, spicy sesame sauce). Food was prepared pretty quickly. More people started coming in as soon as my dish arrived. The combination of salad (mix of green and red leaves) and sashimi are amazing. The sashimi were fresh and the portion was pretty good even though it might seemed small when it is rolled over and cut into 8 pieces. The greens were crunchy and fresh making the whole dish chewy. Besides that the spicy sesame sauce, mayonnaise on the side and sprinkles of red peppers were a good combination. It has tangy aftertaste and I skipped the wasabi to have a better taste of the sauces. Price wise it was on the moderate level. At least the 8 pieces of sushi were pretty filling as the sushi master included quite a bit of rice. From the waiters conversation, it was pretty clear that they are Japanese and I did confirm with them. This place might be small but it definitely provided some authentic sushis.

This hidden gem a little off the beaten path in Manly had the best salmon carpaccio I have ever…read moretasted, and I am given the restaurant 5 stars based on this dish alone as I will definitely be returning for it next time I'm in Australia. The salmon was expertly presented, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, bathed in its citrus marinade and topped with generous portions of crunchy green onions and greens. The beef carpaccio looked amazing, too, although we did not get a chance to try it. We also had the decent scallops and the mediocre Waka roll, neither of which I particularly recommend, but the salmon carpaccio... You must make the trek to this restaurant if you're in Manly -- it may be the best dish I had during my 8-day trip to Sydney.

This place is like a Michael Bay blockbuster, all looks but no substance…read more The place is new, it looks fancy, the service is pleasant, and the food looks really good...but it fails to deliver and it's pretty underwhelming. For $13.90 a bowl a ramen, I'd expect it to have more than one piece of chashu...and a hot piece not a cold piece. It's $3.80 for 3 more pieces of chashu, meaning ~$18 for a bowl of ramen for 4 pieces of chashu. It would be a fair price if it were say Ippudo, but this place isn't even close. On top of that the egg was way overcooked. Meh. Manpuku takes a page out of Ramen Zundo's book and offers a Red (chili) and Black (soy) ramen and they also use bean sprouts and cabbage. Not necessarily bad, just different. The best part of the dish were the noodles since they're al dente...but overcooked egg, cold chashu, and a tepid broth make this place one I don't plan on frequenting again.

I got the traditional chicken ramen broth it was excellent, flavourful and tastey and hit the right spot for me. The manager gave my other half some extra veggies as he went pork free with his dish. The manager spent extra time with us and going through the menu and completely nailed our tastes to recommendations. Some of the best service we've received in a long time, we'll be back.
