You will need the exercise anyway after all that food. You could park at Westfield and walk down. Arriving for lunch at 11:30am (only time we could book) we saw that it is a small area downstairs ( not sure if upstairs is used ) but there were walk ins while we were there. We didn't leave until 1:30pm. Each table has its own "iPad" for ordering but as we were on the banquet we got a pencil & paper to circle any choices ( see photos) Whilst not a fan of hot pots we tried the seafood one and it was spicy and full of seafood plus a random carrot ( why not ) The food was really good. My pick was the soft shelled crab taco. However, there is no where to wash your hands (needed with seafood) let alone a toilet. You are directed to the local pub if you need to go. This is not really the best solution in this area. When I asked I was given some hand wipes but I think this was a special for me. The menu is online and it is worth giving it a try.

Japanese ramen is my newest obsession btw. The location is on Smith Street a mere 5 minute walk from the Parramatta train station for those worries about accessibility. I've also noticed street parking a few blocks away. I had the pork pot stickers to start and they were not the typical fried ones you'd get around town. These were steamed and served in a bath of a light soy sauce mixture and greens. Quite tasteful and perfect for folks like me with a shellfish allergy who worry about cross contamination of deep fried foods. I followed this up with the main event a bowl of the ramen with pork broth. I'm not sure which one I ordered but three varieties were on order miso, soya and salt. I'd imagine they taste pretty similar but don't quote me there. The broth was a thick, opaque medley of flavors and came with sesame seeds, seaweed, green onions, bean sprouts and roast pork loin. This broth normally comes with mushrooms (which I don't like) and corn (which while expected wasn't included). I believe this place is a chain but I'd definitely come here again when craving ramen. The service was great with a friendly and attentive wait staff welcoming all patrons with a friendly Japanese greeting. This place offers take away but I'd recommend sitting down when you have the time to savor the entire experience. For those in search of a quick treat they offer $3.50 to go sushi rolls. There are also sushi chefs available behind the bar turning out some beautiful tasty looking sushi dishes. Large offering of Japanese and Korean wines and beer on offer for those in need of a drink after a long day.

(EDIT: Not sure why it says San Fransisco by default but this POS website won't let me change it,…read morebut this is a real review from a Sydney-sider). May 2025 will be 10 years that I've been coming to this place. The staff are always polite and service is definitely on the faster side, even when they're a little busy. The food is delicious and reasonably priced even during this inflationary period over the last few years. It would be nice if more people knew that they serve a wide variety of Korean dishes too, as they only present themselves as a Japanese place. Given the location near the river and the floor to ceiling windows, I can imagine how a lot of other owners might change the place's aesthetic to try to be more trendy. But I'm actually glad they've never really changed. It has a small family owned business look. All their attention is put into service and quality of your meal. I can't recommend it highly enough and I was hugely relieved to see them reopen after closing during the pandemic and construction work on the Meriton. I'm always looking for an excuse to go back.

More long tables and benches - good for groups. And the sushis on the belts looked appetizing too (as a part of lunch special - it is $3.50 each). Seating at the belt area is pretty limited (8-10 seats). The dish was pretty good. Soup base was tasty and portion wasn't too little either. Just a little salty. With it, I was given some side dishes (potatoes and kimchi). Overall I was satisfied with my meal :)

Share plates of sushi, sashimi and cooked dishes cost anywhere from $15 up to $40 for the more meaty ones. Portion sizes are pretty small but the quality is really nice. The Sashimi was really nice, sushi rolls a bit plain but tasty. "Sabu Cigars with Bloody Mary Shot" was a unique dish, crispy rolls filled with tuna, fish roe and spicy mayo, and a sake bloody mary. Unusual flavours! The drinks menu is pretty comprehensive, a nice variety of sake, umeshu, cocktails, beers and wine. Atmosphere pleasant, staff very friendly. We'll be saving this one for special occasions though, the prices are too high for a regular visit.

You'll have to venture past the busier eateries on Parra's Church St restaurant strip to find this place. And make a reservation at least, just in case, you know, they're busy. I was expecting a mind blowing replacement for my preferential Japanese restaurant in the city but experienced a bleaker version instead. Ahh well. If they halved the cost at this place, I would call it worth it. But we found some ups and downs. Ups: beef robata, tempura and service. Downs: sushi nigiri (honestly how do they let this happen..), carpaccio and cost. We sought out this place to enjoy decent sushi but it was average at best. Only lucky that there were other choices on the menu to off set the disappointment. I mean we ordered as mixture of nigiri selection but they were so dry and unfresh I had to perform the subtle "spit back into napkin" manoeuvre than swallow that ungodliness. I'm not saying the overall quality of this restaurant was bad because it wasn't, it was good enough. I'm just saying the fish, compared to my usual experiences at various other Japanese restaurants, sucked in comparison. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day eh. Who knows. The beef robata and tempura are worth returning for and maybe I'll hazard into mains territory next time too. But just..not in a hurry to return. Hmmm.

I found the food to be quite average. I think your paying more for the teppenyaki experience. Watching the chef cook, dice and slice up the meat with their sharp knife skills. Also the funny throwing games where he will throw you and egg and you have to catch it in your bowl is bound to bring some laughs to the table. I would therefore recommend you come with a larger group of people like I did to get the full teppenyaki experience.
