When the dimsum cravings hit while on a family road trip, this id the place to go! There is a bit…read moreof a hidden parking lot - just follow the sign and drive towards the water. There is ample parking across the motel looking building. Once you enter, there is a lovely shop of trinkets and then there is a nice cozy seating area. There's a self serve sauce bar and some cute puzzles to occupy you while you. wait for your food. You can get a lunch special which comea with a drink or you can order dim sum ala carte. The staff are so lovely and were fast in service. The food itself was served hot and fresh. It wasn't overly salty and the peach drink was ice cold, perfect on a hot day. I noticed they have a buffet option on Saturdays too which is super unique. We'd love to visit again if we pass by Sydney in the future!

Went there to try their new Chili Oil they are selling. Its quite expensive, its nice and hot but…read morenot much flavor, with a sort of an off-taste. We ordered two Chicken Feet, (they forgot the second order which was supposed to be To-Go.) The Chicken Feet were undercooked and not tender at all. We also ordered Har Gow which was Delicious -five stars for that and a Wonton Soup. The Wonton Soup was bland. It did not include the obligatory veggies or cabbage and no slice of Roast Pork and the Pork Dumplings were very overcooked and falling apart. Would not order it again. So its hit or miss at this place - but its the only Dim Sum on the Island...

This is the only sushi place that is in Sydney (at least on google maps). The food is average but…read morethe price is high. The miso soup was $4 but they only gave me less than half a bowl of soup. Maybe it's for presentation, but that was iffy and preferred it filled up a little more. The rainbow roll was $17 and it was an 8 piece sushi roll that is average (but overpriced). I also ordered a sunomono salad. I was suspicious of the $7 price at first but it was a pretty large portion but the seasoning of it isn't very authentic. Takoyaki was ok but I was pleased they even served it. Coming from a bigger city I am fully aware of the price point of sushi and what it should bring. This certainly does not fulfill its price point. The atmosphere of this restaurant is actually pretty nice. It's very cozy and warm with modern decor. However there is no parking and accessible entrance. So anyone who cannot use the stairs would have great difficulty getting into the restaurant as it is up a set of stairs. That being said, I still like the decor. Customer service wise it was good. They were attentive and professional. The Korean staff (spoke korean to each other and English to the guests) were very friendly. As this is the only Japanese place in town I will return once more to try their lunch specials.

We walked a good way to get there, and it's frustrating (and honestly a little disrespectful) to customers who try to plan around your listed hours. If you're not going to be open, at least let people know. And Facebook is unappropriate place to do that.

Five stars all around.

By the time we left around 1, there were more customers, but it wasn't as busy as the prior year when I had come here for supper. Friendly, standard service. My side Caesar salad was quite good, standard, but flavorful, and a large size for a side. I thought by ordering two small dishes, I wouldn't be too full, but that plus the potato skins I got, I couldn't finish it all. The skins were not bad, with a fair bit of cheese, some bare skins at the side/bottom as often is the case, but no real complaints. My friend had the hot hamburger with fries & side of carrots, which he liked enough, but didn't find it memorable. For dessert he tried the mince meat pie and liked it a fair bit, as did I the coconut cream pie. (after being so full from my meal that I could barely breathe, i still had a sweet tooth.. lol). So this place is not on my top favorite list of Sydney restaurants, but I find it relaxing, homey and simple enough where I'd still come back anytime someone suggested.

Most of the food was quite good…read more Not enough staff, they were run off their feet, resulting in hit or miss service where staff didn't have time to come back to your table. This meant missing things like refills, getting sauces, bringing over the wrong dishes, missing dishes, etc. One of our meals was a bad cut, that went unaddressed because there was no one to check back on the meal. If you go on a slow night it's probably a much better experience.

The food here is decent - chicken wings were flavourful and the chicken supreme was juicy. Blueberries complemented the salmon well. Service however was horrible. First, they didn't really have proper seating for 5, so my group was a little cramped on a table designed for 4. Our server was usually nowhere to be found. At the end of the meal she told us she's new and still learning the ropes. While that's excusable, the service level from all the other staff was not. We've flagged down at least 2 other staff looking for our server, and while they just acknowledge and say "your server will be right with you", they DID NOT ACTUALLY GO GET HER. That's simply unacceptable.. Given the poor service I would not recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a relaxing dining experience.
