Sushi Bar Hiro is one of my favourite restaurants in Beverly Hills, and one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Sydney.
The décor has seen better days, but this gives the sushi bar a sort of shabby charm. And when the food is so good, decoration doesn't matter. This is the way I usually judge local restaurants; the more dilapidated the setting, the better the food. Going by this scale, Hiro fares well. Service is friendly and always prompt and observant. Some of my favourite dishes include the age moshi, chicken takoyaki and incredible gyoza. The sashimi is also also delicious, fresh and generously cut- no anorexic slivers to be seen. The only disappointing dish was the teriyaki beef, which was a little tough, but not bad enough that I didn't finish it.
The chefs do a good job of entertaining the crowd and are always super-friendly, flamboyant and roll a mean California roll.
Located on bustling King Georges Rd, your biggest issue will be finding a car park. Try securing a spot in one of the back streets (behind Beverly Hills Hotel are a few side streets that usually have a couple of empty spaces). read more
