We enjoyed a banquet of Japanese food at Umi Sushi in Haymarket…read more Umi Sushi have other locations in Darling Quarter and Town Hall. The Haymarket store is super big with a bar to sit at, a range of smaller tables and also some private rooms that also have karaoke. It is conviently close to central station and also the capitol theatre for those theatre lovers amongst us. We sat in a booth, ideal for the 6 of us in a quiet spot and the waiter served us a few cold Asahi's, perfect to accompany our first course - an array of sushi and sashimi. This was served in a huge sushi boat, which would be suitable for a party so you can try a few things. It was filled with kingfish carpaccio, smoked Toro, and a few types of nigiri sushi - fois gras, scampi, Umi, salmon belly, kingfish as well as a purple soft shell crab roll. Our favourite was the toro (salmon belly). It also had two new dishes, their Umi chirashi waffle ice cream cones, filled with sashimi (salmon or tuna), avocado and topped with konbu cream and a lotus chip. We then got a mix of hot and cold dishes in including Truffle cabbage, mentaiko omelette, grilled cheese scallops, grilled quail, mixed skewers and a wagyu steak platter. The final savoury dish was a soy milk broth hot pot which came with premium wagyu beef and a huge platter full of seafood and dry ice smoking from it for theatrics. We cooked this ourselves and mixed it all together while we waited. Ending on a dessert platter, we enjoyed some ice cream, matcha green tea cake and cheesecake. We were certainly satisfied by the end of this.

Huyuya is tucked away in a great location in Eastwood. Right next to station on the 'other' side…read more The vibe was decent -- the restaurant isn't brand new and it gets pretty packed, but it's good enough for a casual sushi meal. The sushi itself was fresh, tasty, and well-presented, definitely a solid 4 out of 5 on food. Where things dipped a little was the service. Staff seemed overwhelmed and interactions came across rushed, even a bit on the rude side. It could simply be because they were busy, but it did take away from the overall experience. Service would be closer to a 2 out of 5 compared to the quality of the food. That said, every place can have an off day, and the sushi here is worth coming back for. If the service improves to match the standard of the food, Huyuya could easily be one of the go-to sushi spots in Eastwood.

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!

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.

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.

We got there at 1956 and they stop taking orders at 2000. We had about four minutes for all three of us to pick a meal and place our order. With that being said, I'm not sure we got a full look at the menu but we're very happy with our selection. The food was delicious, filling, and very reasonably priced. One thing they did not do is refill our water. This seems to be a common thing in Sydney so maybe people don't drink much water or maybe you have to ask. We haven't quite figured that out yet.
