Sushi Den is a small little Japanese restaurant located on New South Head Road in Rose Bay…read moreoverlooking the Harbour. While it doesn't look large from the outside there is plenty of seating once you enter the restaurant. All the dishes are reasonably priced and you can expect your standard Japanese fare from this restaurant, our suggestion is the schnitzel or teriyaki chicken udon. This and the fact that it is BYO and located overlooking an awesome view of the harbour (provided you are seated outside) means that this is a great place for quick and easy Japanese bites.

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.

This is a sushi chain in Australia. There were a few locations I found while traveling around…read moreSydney. They have sushi you can pay for by the purse at the counter, or you can order off the menu or grab off the sushi conveyor belt. The sushi is pretty good! It's not high end at all, but it's fresh and pretty tasty! I really loved the torched salmon teriyaki. They have a variety of pieces or rolls to choose from. Some of the offerings were massive! With single pieces rolls as large as my hand! The service was good! The counter attendant was polite and accommodating with having fresh sushi when I asked for pieces without mayo. They have sit down service, but it was mostly grab and go. They have counter seating with stools if you don't want to take your sushi to go.

Was the first one to come in and was given seat as soon as I entered. The sushi rolls on the menu looked appetizing so decided to go for Spicy Waka Roll (assorted sashimi, shallots, spicy sesame sauce). Food was prepared pretty quickly. More people started coming in as soon as my dish arrived. The combination of salad (mix of green and red leaves) and sashimi are amazing. The sashimi were fresh and the portion was pretty good even though it might seemed small when it is rolled over and cut into 8 pieces. The greens were crunchy and fresh making the whole dish chewy. Besides that the spicy sesame sauce, mayonnaise on the side and sprinkles of red peppers were a good combination. It has tangy aftertaste and I skipped the wasabi to have a better taste of the sauces. Price wise it was on the moderate level. At least the 8 pieces of sushi were pretty filling as the sushi master included quite a bit of rice. From the waiters conversation, it was pretty clear that they are Japanese and I did confirm with them. This place might be small but it definitely provided some authentic sushis.

This hidden gem a little off the beaten path in Manly had the best salmon carpaccio I have ever…read moretasted, and I am given the restaurant 5 stars based on this dish alone as I will definitely be returning for it next time I'm in Australia. The salmon was expertly presented, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, bathed in its citrus marinade and topped with generous portions of crunchy green onions and greens. The beef carpaccio looked amazing, too, although we did not get a chance to try it. We also had the decent scallops and the mediocre Waka roll, neither of which I particularly recommend, but the salmon carpaccio... You must make the trek to this restaurant if you're in Manly -- it may be the best dish I had during my 8-day trip to Sydney.

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.

If you choose to eat inside, the reduced lighting gives it style and personal feeling. While never too busy it also has enough customers to indicate it is worth visiting. The noise levels are quiet enough to easily have a conversation without trying to shout over other people. There should never be any need to book in advance. The staff are very friendly and accommodating but it is important to realise that for most of the waitresses, English is not their native language. You should keep your order simple and clear to prevent mistakes. The food can simply be summed up as excellent. They have always been very quick in bringing out soups and starters so it is worthwhile ordering those. You can expect some variation in how long it takes to get your main meal depending on how busy they are as well as how long it takes to prepare the food. Their miso soup is decent and they have a fantastic karage. Their sushi, sashami and bento boxes are of very high quality and they take a lot of extra effort in making sure it is presented beautifully. I am a big fan of their chicken teriyaki bento box as it has variety as well as tasting great. They are fully licensed and even have Japanese beers on tap. I can't comment too much on the alcohol situation as I generally don't drink alcohol at Japanese restaurants but the other people I go with say it is acceptable. The price they charge for all of this is incredible. You will be surprised when you see how low the bill is. I would consider this place exceptional value and doubt there are many other places in the Chatswood area that have food and service this good with such low prices. I would consider Izakaya Arigato a hidden gem. Absolutely worth checking out if you are in the area and have a craving for a decent Japanese meal.
