This new place opened up near my cousins' shop, so my auntie and I decided to have lunch there…read more It was a conveyor sushi styled place and you could order a few menu items like miso soup, teriyaki chicken or salmon, etc. We just went ahead and grabbed sushi from the train. Everything was really tasty and fresh. The sashami was great! Overall the total bill for two people with like 8 plates, miso soup and hot tea was about $60. Take away deals are even better! Great place for sushi with friendly service!

It was tasty but I found the portion was really small. I was still hungry afterwards. On my second visit I tried their Bibimbap. The portion was much better but I was disappointed with the egg. Bibimbap that I know would have a raw egg yolk which would be placed at the top centre of the dish. Instead there was a fried egg sitting on top of my Bibimbap. On my third visit I sat down at their Sushi Train section. There weren't that many options presented to me on that train, and all of them were slathered with a lot of either sauce or Mayo. I ended up choosing only about 4 plates as I didn't want anything else on there. And they were quite pricey too. The service was quick and the staff was helpful. Most of their food were tasty. Great option for work lunch if you happen to work in the city.

Went to a surprise birthday here and got a private room, there were at least 15 people there. The…read moreatmosphere was cool but the sitting arrangement was strange, the seats were half in the ground half above.. sounds weird? Because it was! So difficult to get up and back down! It was a massive pain! That was the only thing that ruined the experience, other than that the food was great and the service was also awesome. The ordering process was nice and easy, the fact that it is self ordering from the room on a screen makes ordering fast and easy and you can really take your time ordering. The sushi was nice and fresh and the chicken dishes were flavoursome, the portions were pretty small but the prices weren't terribly expensive, with the in room ordering it made it way to easy to order, especially in a bigger room where there is 2 screens to order! Very hard to police who is ordering what. Overall it was a cool place to go with nice food and good friendly service.

For all tech-savvy people out there, Wagaya is definitely with it. Touch screen ordering ipads at…read moreevery table makes it simple, quick and fun to order. Be warned though if your overly eager fingers traipse across the screen, the servings are quite small and you may end up with a much larger bill than planned. Although the food is reasonably priced, it's not recommended for heavy eaters. There are heaps of different dishes to choose from, and the food is categorised to make finding your favourites that much easier. I have a few friends that are terrified of eating eel but the dragon rolls, which is eel with a smoky bbq sauce and cream cheese is enough to tempt even them. The service is quite speedy, so no more waiting for table water as the staff zip from one booth to the next. On busy nights waiting for a table can be the pits because it gets heaps of customers who are coming from Darling Harbour. For bigger groups, it's recommended you book out private rooms in advance. If you do get one, you'll get a feel for an authentic Japanese dinner, with a low table and floor cushions to kneel on. I've heard a fair bit about this place and I'll admit that I haven't tried their sushi roulette (salmon rolls where one has a nasty wasabi surprise) but that's definitely the next fun thing on my Wagaya agenda!

The taker/cashier was super friendly and helpful and described some of the more popular items and the ingredients within. She carefully took our order although I'd ask for glass noodles I got rice with half salad. Nonetheless, the crispy chicken was outstanding. What I like the most is it seems like all the ingredients are tossed together with the Sauce. my kid opted for the salmon bowl and loved it. Very generous portions ingredients tasted fresh. We paired it with a mandarin soda and a coconut water. What a great place to take lunch to the beach. Cool vibes, and great music inside the seating area. They recently opened in New York, but not California yet so hopefully one day. Would definitely try again.

(Please read October 2018 update, can't be arsed doing yet another review of Makoto, but the news…read moreis good!) This hurts. For 15 years I've been enjoying that feeling of having a special place thats pretty much perfect. Where the guys knew me and the food was way above the rest. Makoto was the best Sushi Train I'd ever been to and it was fully 1 minutes walk down the road. So I went a lot, I mean at least 800 times. The value was there. My favourites were the tempura king prawn hand roll, the king prawn and omelette hand roll and the most basic of all, the salmon sushi. Thing was, all the offerings were fresh generous and delicious. Last year a new owner came in. You don't need to read anymore if you, like me, know what that always means. The first to go was James who had been there from the start. Most of the staff went because they put in the ubiquitous computer screen ordering system. Then they removed all the old prawn dishes. All of them. Now you are lucky if you get a pre prepared frozen crumbed prawn covered in a mayo mess. Then they reduced the sizes of every dish on the train so the salmon was much smaller. All my favourites disappeared or were scrimped. Then they put all the prices up. The next thing to go was the queue, then the regulars stopped going. Now there's barely anyone there at 12 noon when there used to be a wait for ten to fifteen minutes. I'll still go now and then because its still fresh and its still close. The really sad thing is that I see people there who never saw what it used to be - they probably think that this is a pretty good place, they don't know what it was like. Sigh. Update October 2018 The tempura king prawns hand rolls are back!!!! The other day they had the old cooked prawn and mayonnaise gunkan on the train, its not back full time but at least it made an appearance! The salmon sashimi is no longer scrimped upon. Its back to its old size. Back to 5 stars for the prawn hand rolls alone. Thank you God, I really missed those things. And they are still on the blue plates, which have been bumped from $3.60 to $3.80 - so what - 20c!! Two words - yaa. hoo.

This a big call but I think this is the best sushi train in Sydney!! Genrally I don't like sushi…read moretrains but this is certainly an exception. The seafood is always fresh and of a high grade. However this does come at a price and you will certainly be paying for it. They have great Salmon sashimi but my favourites come off the menu, not the train and they are the omelette and king prawn hand roll and fisherman's soup. The Agedashi tofu ain't bad either ! I only wish less people knew how good this place is as sometimes the queue is pretty long.

The teriyaki was excellent, the salad was only ok and a bit dry. The fried items were not the flavor profile I was expecting but not bad. Being from the US, maybe it's just how it's done in Australia. One of us had teriyaki udon noodle bowl. Excellent noodles and broth. One had a sushi roll. WOW. The largest sushi roll ever. It was almost 2.5" diameter. Way too big to put in your mouth. It was like a California roll - avocado, cucumber and crab salad inside with salmon and tuna sashimi on top. Taste was excellent but very awkward to eat. Overall, friendly with good food. Totally forgot to take pictures.

They cleared anything used right away and were always asking if things were okay. I asked for a drink I saw here on Yelp in a photo and they made it for me, given it did not look anything like it but it tasted lovely and we all had a good laugh about how unalike it was from the original picture! I tried sushi tacos for the first time ever, and although I wouldn't go that route again purely off of preferring seaweed to be not crunchy, I am glad I tried it and ate the whole thing. I'd definitely return to try something different next time!

I was happy w the food - just wish my bento box came w rice (which is what I am use to). Overall good food and nice environment - I would recommend.
