This was the first meal I had in Sydney and it didn’t disappoint. The workers were so inviting and friendly, quick to help with any requests I had. I had the karaage, serving of rice and some miso. Everything was a hit for me.

Very below average Ramen, and the chef forgot to put the chasui into the ramen and came out dry and cold like cardboard, soup broth not tasty at all, the soup was without depth and very blend. School of prawns were over cooked and so much salt, a wedge of lemon would lift it, it was dry and finish. The originis… we ordered 3 and was a huge disappointment, too wet and the yuzu miso one was tasteless. The fish balls we’re Over fried There were nothing opened at 10:20 pm and we were hungry. For Sydney Japanese food scene this is just not good at all.

This place is one of my favourite Izakayas in Sydney. I’ve lived in Japan for 6 years and this felt like being back in Tokyo. Service was attentive, food was great and venue is quaint too. I recommend trying as much as you can on the menu with some Japanese beers or Sake and you’ll enjoy yourself no doubt.

So amazing, we love Japan (>13 trips each) and this place feels like a Japanese izakaya. The service is gracious and friendly and I love how you can try the sake before deciding on what you like (we loved the high aroma not too dry sake). My favourite dish was the homemade teriyaki tofu steak, this hae amazing texture and great flavour. We loved the karage chicken onigiri, which was moreish and filling The ramen was so good too, it has a nice char to the vegetables and deep flavours that would put it in our top quartile of ramen (and we've been to Kyushu several times too). The miso katsu was very much what one would find in Japan and we liked the spinach side dish. The cheeseballs had to be eaten quickly (we dawdled), but it was still ok. Pricing is sharp, service is amazing and we will definitely be coming back.
