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.

A quick google search for 'sushi train' provides Japanese to English translations including…read more'conveyor belt sushi', 'sushi rotation' or my favourite of the bunch 'sushi-go-round'. I love how the translation actually describes what is going on when you enter a sushi train restaurant! Whichever way you decide to look at it the sushi train is a novel Japanese fast food and fun way to eat sushi and experience Japanese cuisine. There are two Rainbow Sushi restaurants in Mona Vale. Both of are open for lunch and dinner Monday - Saturday. My favourite of the two is the sushi train. The sushi is always fresh and the Chef's are always happy to whip something up from the sushi menu if it's not already on the train. Seafood is my love so I always go for the fat juicy grilled scallops or salmon sashimi. My hubby is more a teriyaki man so goes for the teriyaki chicken or teriyaki beef which melts in your mouth. There are other dishes made fresh to order like Udon and Tempura. Order them from your friendly waitress. The restaurant isn't very big so you may have to wait at the station for a ticket at the train. See what I did there? If you are visiting Sydney's Northern Beaches and feel like a Sushi-go-round dining experience. Check out Rainbow Sushi. You won't be disappointed.

Sushi?» Although it does not deserve its rap for being healthy, sushi remains an increasingly popular feature on Sydney's dining scene, with scores of business people descending on sushi shops in food courts, just like the creatively-titled Sushi Bar And that's the thing with Sushi Bar... it's almost identical to its competition. The choices of sushi and other Asian food avaiable is exactly what you'd expect; nothing more and nothing less. The taste and quality of the food is also ok; again, nothing out of the ordinary. It's prices are reflective of its neighbours, and its location within a shopping centre in French's Forest is hardly inspiring. There's nothing wrong with the food that is sold, the prices it's sold at or the service of the staff; but then, there's nothing exactly exceptional about it either. Words that spring to mind are «inoffensive»... «fine».... «filling». As the only vendor of its kind in the area, it has no direct competition; nobody to proclaim the superiority of its fresh produce/innovative menu/high-level service. And so Sushi Bar goes on, supplying average products at an average price with average service. Nothing wrong with that!

Sure you can absolutely spoil yourself rotten with a $33 set hot pot, set lunch or set dinner menus (including miso soup, sushi & sashimi, gyoza, teriyaki chicken, tempura, ice cream* and a bottle of house wine if more that one person orders), but I always find myself in here for a late-lunch, post-beach, sushi-in-face-stuffing. The sashimi is especially fresh and even for someone who doesn't often go for norimaki, the rainbow rolls are a must-order. With $3 BYO, this traditional Japanese spot is a cheap and cheerful dinner date. Or a date for one. I won't judge. *no, unfortunately not tempura ice cream, although that would certainly be a star-raising quality!

Most brown rice tends to be drier and a lot chewier so I was expecting this but would have been nice for a tasty surprise. For a quick snack, it was average in size and the same taste wise. Probably wouldn't recommend it unless you're desperate, as even with soy sauce, it was still a challenge to hoe down. The outer seaweed layer was very chewy and hard to bite through.

If you are into the raw fish, you might want to give the Beef Tataki a go (it is raw too), I think for me I will stick with the Teriyaki. Ging is great if you want to experiment and get a taste of Japan.
