They use a touch screen pad for the inside tables and a normal menu for the outdoor tables. Staff are friendly and efficient and happy to help you choose items off the menu if you are stuck. To start we got a few specials including the pork belly bao and the deep fried sole fish, then onto some grilled salmon and by this stage our bellies were getting full! So we opted to get 2 small desserts which was the banana split and the green tea cake roll. Overall, good food with lots of flavour. If you visit do try and get a seat inside because its pretty fun to order off the menu.

I tell Melle that the last time I came here that the sushi and sashimi were so tasty and fresh. She nods but it's not until she starts eating the salmon nigiri and sashimi that her eyes light up and says ohhh wow this is really fresh and tasty. Yuri then explains which tuna is which. There are three grades of tuna available on the menu tonight. Melle prefers the medium grade and we all enjoy the usual tuna grade sashimi and nigiri which is typically served in restaurants. The usual tuna grade is a deep purple. Yuri explains that the lighter the tuna, the higher the grade. The highest grade is fatty and delicate. I love it!

Walk in without a booking and enjoy a huge range of sushi and sashimi dishes. Dishes are hugely discounted in the evening, making dining at this restaurant incredibly reasonable! We shared 5 sushi dishes between us and it cost $7.50 each! They were only too happy to split the bill and were very accommodating and friendly. The sushi train belt is long with plenty of dishes on offer. All ingredients are incredibly fresh and tasty. We bought our own champagne and they didn't charge us a corkage fee! Sushi Land also do takeaway- this is a great little restaurant!

The variety could have been better but they were flat out and full so keeping up was challenging. Gyoza were good, miso was passable, edamame pretty basic but everything fresh and clean and the menu looks like there is plenty to choose from for future visits. Staff were friendly and helpful and we got a seat pretty quickly. Decor is of course new and nice so really not a lot to complain about. Worth a visit and clearly popular.

I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, a friend ordered the cha-shu ramen, and another ordered the miso tonkotsu ramen. After you order ramen they ask what kind of noodle you prefer, thin (standard) or thick (udon style.) Word of note, each bowl comes with two egg halves, so don't be a fatty and order an extra egg like I did...but you will probably want to order extra cha-shu, unless you only like 1 or 2 pieces of cha-shu. I ordered extra cha-shu ($2) and only had 3 pieces...I think they're skimping a little here. We also ordered a salmon roll and skinny avocado roll, and these were really good, especially the cut of salmon. Sushi is definitely good and reasonable here. Taking the first bite, the ramen was really good...but after a few bites it seemed to be missing something. I'm not sure what it was, but the flavour started to get bland, on top of not having many pieces of cha-shu to add more flavour to the ramen. Still better than Ryo's Noodle, but I don't think I'd venture out of the city to come here for ramen.

We ordered the small sashimi plate and 2 rolls. The sashimi came out first and was great! I loved the shredded radish that accompanied the fish. However when the rolls came out I took 1 bite of the spider roll which was tasty, when I went in for my second piece I noticed a long hair in the sauce. I was so disgusted and wanted to send it back but my boyfriend insisted I not make a fuss. So I sat there and ate the sashimi instead. When I thought I might try a piece of sushi from the non hair found roll, guess what, I found a hair just sitting on top of the rice( see posted pictures if you don't believe me) that was really all I could handle. 1 hair, ok I don't think its acceptable, but 2 hairs in 1 plate?! That's just asking for a health inspector. I had to say something at this point to our server who said he would talk to the chef. He ended up comping the sushi rolls which was nice but really I want the restaurant to take a little more care in the kitchen and pride in their food. A restaurant at least should have good food and meet the minimum health standards. I'm sorry but I just don't think I can come back.

From the moment we walked in the door, it was like stepping in to a family run business akin with that of the myriad backstreet food delights that can be found in pockets of suburban Osaka.

The modern Japanese menu is easy to navigate with a range of well-known (pork gyoza, sashimi, maki rolls) and interesting dishes (una-don - smoked eel - and takoyaki, which are kind of like fried, battered balls of octopus meat); it's always busy but never too noisy to hear each other talk; and (best of all) it's relatively easy on the wallet considering all the seafood is so fresh. I often go here if I'm headed down the road to the Ensemble Theatre later on as the service is quick, and salivate in expectation of ordering the entrée of grilled scallops in soy-butter sauce. If you're a group of four to six or the restaurant's not too busy, try to grab one of the traditional horikotatsu tables that are built into the floor. Needless to say, my co-worker did seem to do well with the ladies.
