The restaurant is situated amongst a string of eateries near the museum so it caters to out-of-towners. The service on the night I came is was friendly however un-attentive considering there were 6 tables at 7pm. Not that the servers were standing around doing nothing, they were just slow and took their time. The menu was so expensive considering how simple the selection - and I did come in for ramen however the only soup selection was the obligatory miso. The menu was gyoza, tempura, edamame basics with very good presentation. I ordered agadashi tofu to test skills which came out as one piece, luke warm, overly bonito'd but edible. Wine selection was a plus and I did get a generous taster since what I wanted wasn't available. Overall this place has SOOOO much potential but I would not bring my friends, colleagues or family here for the quality:price ratio. I enjoyed the space but the meal and service can improve.

When you first walk in, kind of feels like you are in a video game. Very funky and crazy decor. We ordered 2 ramens and some appetisers. For the appetisers we got the 6pc Wagyu gyoza, they were alright; should have stuck with the classic pork gyoza. We also ordered the Korokke which were tasty. It's essentially a Japanese croquette, deep fried goodness. For the ramen we got Shoyu ramen, you can't go wrong with the black garlic and chicken oil. The shoyu was pretty good. We also got the Katsu Curry ramen. The pork loin was good but the broth was very bland. Overall I just felt it lacked some flavour but has potential.

They respond as though it's an inconvenience to stop the roll they were making yo get someone else to bring water. Also, they overcharged us by $20! The water came 20 minutes after my request. Food: sushi was ok. The cats roll was way too sweet ( salmon on top, tuna inside). The teriyaki chicken was mediocre as well. They have packaged ginger and packaged wasabi on the conveyer belt train. The staff seem nice but I would not eat here again..the only pleasant part was a cute man sat beside me:).

I adore sushi trains. All the deliciousness of Japanese food combined with a food conveyer belt…read more I've been really lucky - all the trains I've tried in Sydney have been great. And then Newcastle got a sushi train. I forgot my one cardinal rule of eating in Newcastle - Don't Get Excited. We nipped in for a late lunch - around 2pm. We were told to take a seat politely. But that was it from the staff - no drinks were offered, I had to help myself from the drinks fridge, and we never got to order the two hot entrees we wanted because no one came near us. The hot dishes were tepid at best, and the cold dishes were room temperature, which made me cautious. Most of the sushi rolls were drowning in day-glo coloured sauces to the point that you couldn't determine what filling the rolls had. And this place has a love affair with cream cheese. More than half the rolls on the belt had cream cheese, which I initially assumed was tofu. Have you ever had a tempura prawn and cream cheese roll? It is the definition of disgusting and a crime against nature. The prawn wontons tasted odd - they didn't appear to have any pork in them, but had a slightly porky taste, which might have been the wrappers themselves or contamination. Again, served tepid. Nothing new was added to the train, despite two staff members assembling dishes in front of us, possibly stockpiling for dinner. However, the crab balls were delicious and reminiscent of those served at Thai mainstay Sticky Rice, if not hot enough. The mini spring rolls were pleasant, but again stone cold. In the end we left, laughing in shock, leaving behind at least half of our meal uneaten and went home for sandwiches. We won't be going back to Sushi Revolution again - the food is below subpar and the staff avoid you until the bill has to be paid, when they start cooing about how everything was. And, quite frankly, I may need counseling after the tempura prawn and cream cheese (honestly, how the heck did they manage to make the tempura prawn colder than the cream cheese?!) because that is a taste sensation that never needed to be invented.

If you're after some family dinner fun this is the place to go. My niece was fascinated and has put…read morein a request to return for her birthday. She is good on the tooth and tried just about everything but it may not be for kids with fussy tastebuds. We ordered the $48 fukusui banquet which is the same as the $43 Fuji but with the addition of Japanese plum wine and scallops. The plum wine was surprisingly nice and the scallops were huge so I'd go all in for a first visit; why not? Opinions vary on value for money. It's not that much food but you are paying for the entertainment as well. I wasn't hungry when I left but certainly leaves comfortable space for dessert. They have an a la carte menu but you'll either be labelled a stick in the mud or feel disappointed once you see the fun others are having. Parking is located in the lane outside the motel or risk your car being towed if you're not staying as a guest. Ps. Don't wear your best shirt or go for dark clothes. Hides stains better ;)

The food is very good, however, due to their inability to handle a complaint (caused by their own error) they have lost me as a customer. I ordered take away tempura, which was provided without the essential dipping sauce. I phoned up, was told they would cook me a fresh one, I drove back quite a distance, only to be told, pretty much, no. I have previously witnessed a complaint, where the customer complained the chicken was not cooked & a refund was refused. This is not the way to keep customers during a pandemic. I would not recommend this place now. My business is going elsewhere.
