    Up on the Paddington end of Crown Street, one is presented with many terrific options for dining out. I was craving Japanese the other day and so a friend and I ducked into Zushi for dinner. We walked past the long sushi bar and I stopped a moment to watch the diligent chefs fast at work. We were escorted through the restaurant and up the stairs to a section of tables overlooking the ground floor. With minimalist wooden tables and stools, low lighting and an intricate wooden sculputure that sprawls across the ceiling, it definitely demands that the next time you're here, you best bring a hot date. We started with an order of gyoza and a small assorted sashimi plate. The sashimi was very fresh and included tuna, salmon, another white fish, and two thin pieces of trout belly. I found the trout to be the most flavourful and interesting out of the four. Next, our Ocean Roll arrived ($18). For me, this was the obvious top runner of the meal. Ocean trout, cucumber and avocado made up the bulk of the roll and was topped with seared trout belly, mustard mayo, sweet soy and tobiko. The seared trout gave the roll a smokey, almost BBQ taste, which was perfectly complimented by the mustard mayo. It is clear that the geniuses behind Zushi have crafted their menu with care and creativity. The flavour pairings are definitely some of the most interesting I've seen. Go to Zushi, grab some wine and some starters and go nuts with the custom inside-out rolls. You won't regret it.

    Quit a nice place is you want sashimi or a fresh salad. I would recommend it for lunch or dinner or if you just meeting with a group of friends. Everything was fresh and delicious here. Check it out!

    This is three stars for the service. The service is non-existent. I understand Australian restaurants do not provide service but even given such standards, the service is between average and quite poor, so no tip. The upstairs is nicely decorated and the blowfish painted on the wall looks cool and seems appropriate, although I didn't see fugu on the menu... The food came quickly and was DELICIOUS. Food rating is really four or four and a half stars. The salad sampler to share is four traditional offerings but done really well. The seaweed and cabbage were pickled to perfection, the daikon and carrot coleslaw was spot on, and there was another blend of greens with house peanut-sesame dressing which was to die for. The sashimi platter small had snapper, kingfish, tuna and salmon on it all very fresh and tasty. My partner's ocean roll was outstanding, as someone else's review notes, the trout on top was smoky and gave the whole roll a pungent flavor almost like bbq. The last dish we had was the eggplant to share, which came out in two large sections cut straight from the plant and obviously cooked whole, covered in a savory and sweet miso glaze. Eggplant can tend to be a bit greasy if fried, and I'm not sure if this was grilled to avoid that flaw or if it was just fried well enough not to be saturated, but it was PERFECT. Moist, cooked through, fell apart with chopsticks, the sauce was like butterscotch on dessert and I could have eaten three more just like it. A bit awkward to break apart with the chopsticks, was served with a giant wooden spoon but I don't really know what to do with that. All in all I would probably go back for lunch to try some more Zushi sushi deals, as dinner was a bit on the expensive side, but reasonable given how good the food was. Our four dishes for two people was $65.

Motto is the underdog of Japanese restaurants at Sussex Centre. Not only do they live in the shadow of highly rated Ramen Ikkyu, but Motto's location doesn't get the best foot traffic either. The escalators up from ground floor plop you out on the opposite side. This was my third time visiting Motto. Typically, there would be one or two very helpful and courteous girls who greet and coax you into checking out their menu. Thank goodness for picture menus! This time there was a dude by the of Chris working behind the counter. He first thanked me for stopping to look at the menu, then after suggesting that I should try one of the deep-fried options, he thanked me again for ordering. Genuinely courteous? Absolutely! CHICKEN KATSU PLATE ($9) OMG!!!! Best bang for your buck for suuuuure! The chicken is exactly how Chicken Katsu is supposed to be made. Crispy, flaky outside and juicy inside. If you've read my other reviews, you know I can consider myself a bit of a Chicken Katsu snob since that's my go-to-dish at Japanese restaurants. To top things off with this belly-loving dish, you get rice, a side salad w/dressing and miso soup... Oh and almost forgot THE BEST part - FREE ICE CREAM!!!!! Definitely coming back again to try another suggestion..

With relatively few staff that have to multitask between assembling, serving and taking orders, the queue rapidly lengthened behind us as dinner hours began. We ordered the karage bowl, plain wagyu bowl, the teriyaki chicken salad, assortment of side dishes and the matcha milk. The fried chicken is lightly battered and has a strong soy sauce flavor, topped with a layer of mayo. While the slightly undersized pieces have just came out from the fryer, the exterior barely have any crisp and is quite oily, while the interior is a little overcooked. The beef, different from its thick and succulent appearance on the menu, is overcooked and stringy. However, the flavoring on point and the topped spring onions are cut perfectly. Nothing special about the salad, and the same for the self-served takoyaki-on-a-skewer and cold tofu with sliced spring onions. The self-serve matcha milk was a pleasant surprise, with the right level of sugar and bitterness, only lacking some creaminess.

    PROBABLY THE BEST JAPANESE BBQ PLACE IVE EVER BEEN TO!…read more And yes, this deserves all caps. Located in a little alleyway in Sydney's CBD, Suminoya doesn't look like much. But you're not coming here for waterside ambience, you're coming for the food...and it delivers. First the logistics: You get 70 minutes to order, and 90 minutes to eat. I was with a party of 6 hungry people (4 adults and 2 kids), and it seemed a bit rushed. I wish we had the full 90 minutes. But we were really hungry, so we were furiously ordering. Ordering is done off of an iPad on the table. It was a slick set up, ordering was easy, and servers were fast. We all ordered the full buffet ($65 for adults); highly recommended as this includes the Kobe beef. Kobe beef was probably the most flavorful I've had anywhere. I ordered the ribs, cubes, and steak...this was like meat candy. Sushi was also of surprisingly good quality Salmon melted in your mouth and the scallops were fresh and flavorful. We ordered about 6 rounds through the 70 minute ordering period, right up until the final minute. I could have used an additional 20 min so I didn't feel rushed, but I definitely had all you could eat. Will definitely return when I go to Sydney!
