Disappointing service from the Balmain Sushi Hub and that's unfortunate because the Sushi Hub chain, (including this one) offers fresh and innovative sushi out of all the sushi joints in Sydney.
I ventured to Darling Street with pram, two dogs and my 12 year old sushi-loving daughter with my 8 month old for some time out of the house and stopped by Sushi Hub Balmain in order to take some rolls for a "picnic" at nearby Gladstone Park.
Being late morning the joint wasn't busy and there was a wide variety of fresh rolls and bento boxes available but was greeted by a stern and abrupt server who, even though seeing eldest daughter managing two dogs and me with a struggling with a pram and holding a baby while trying to access wallet, seemed more interested in getting me out of the way than being patient.
To top it off instead of the ordered rolls being handed to me after payment they were just left on the counter for me to reach over (still struggling with things), while server left to undertake what ever she undertakes when she isn't barking "next!" to people.
If I didn't have decent experiences at other Sushi Hubs and considering the rolls we got were up to scratch - Balmain Sushi Hub would have easily got two stars instead of my reluctant "three".
Post script (2 July 2016): Went back - service with a smile this time from a different server and she seemed much more personable and even waved at baby daughter. Keep this up and 4 stars may be in order. read more
