The Chefs at…read moreSushi Samurai create fresh sashimi, steaming hot ramen noodles and neatly wrapped sushi with the precision of a samurai sword. The restaurant has been catapulted into the 21st century by a revolutionary touch screen ordering system. This is a very cool new addition to the restaurant. One can place their order and even request the bill through the touch screen. It saves time as you don't need to wait to make eye contact with a waiter to place your order as it can be done at any time through the ordering system. If you're old fashioned and like the more traditional approach of talking to a waiter face-to-face there is an option on the screen to request a waiter too! But it's not all about the touch screen.. The food is great. I've been coming to this restaurant for years and the food is always up to the highest standard. The menu is pretty big so lots of options for fussy eaters. I go for the dinner set which comes with your choice of main, miso soup and really a bit of everything. The best part? Green Tea ice-cream to finish off your meal. Green Tea ice-cream with cornflakes on top. Sounds weird but it works. The location on Military road is great. If you're coming for dinner you can always get a park on Military road right outside the restaurant (or a short walk away). The restaurant takes reservations and the waiters are super friendly. Its casual family dining with people of all ages filling the restaurant. I love Sushi Samurai. You will too.

I fell for something really silly here - it was a nice sunny day and I needed a lunchtime snack, so…read morestopped in at Sushi Samurai's sushi window on Rangers Road, opposite Woolies (whilst the address is on Military Road, it's actually within a building that fronts the thoroughfare but around the back). Takeaway in hand, I then looked for somewhere to eat - sushi rolls are tricky enough sitting down, let along dribbling soy sauce and wasabi whilst walking along. But there was nothing - not a chair, not a tree, not a curb of grass. So said sushi was wolfed in some discomfort, despite being good. Shortly after, I made my way back past Sushi Samurai, only to discover that the other end of the shop opened onto a sunny little courtyard, in which happy little sushi diners were delicately dipping their rolls in sauce and chatting to friends. Oh well ... lesson learned for next time. Based on the sushi, the inside Japanese restaurant will be worth heading back to try too.

Everything is $3 outside of a few items, and there are decent deals going on with gyoza and the like. Try to get here earlier as there may be a huge queue.

The NSW lobster (or crayfish) and abalone dishes were phenomal and perfectly prepared. The sauces were flavorful and balanced. Seafood meats were fresh, sweet and plump and not overcooked.

I absolutely would love to come back to try more dishes when I return to Syndey.

They are right by the Sussex Centre and has 2 levels with escalators. They have fresh seafood as you could tell by their live seafood in the tanks by the entrance. We were seated promptly and the staff who helped us was a training staff. He answered our questions about the menu, and we proceeded to order the lobster with scallions and ginger, choisum and cod, and lamb claypot. At 1.6 kg, the lobster looked lively when the staff brought it to us to confirm that we're satisfied with its size. we requested low salt and no msg in all our dishes. On the house: 1. soup of the day was a pork bone broth with clear fungi and pork. It was really delicious! It tasted like home cooked, no extra seasoning like msg! Very soothing! 2. Post-meal dessert: This was a 4-course ending! An egg drop tofu skin sweet soup - I haven't had this in ages and the tofu skin is so fresh because it is super tender! Watermelon, butter cookies, and a Chinese fried pastry cookie. The lobster was really good. It was covered in a very very thin batter. The lobster was cooked just perfectly, 30 seconds less would've been too raw, and a minute more would've been overcooked. It was one of the best lobster I've had! The choisum and cod dish was delicious and fresh. The choisum was sweet and tender, and the cod was flaky and cooked just right. The seasoning was perfect in this just like the lobster! The only disappointment was the claypot of lamb. It was probably marinated in baking soda so long that it tasted nothing like lamb, but like beef instead. The sauce was like a bbq-type Mongolian sauce but it wasn't too sweet at all. It could've been a perfect meal! This was probably a good Chinese seafood meal I've had in a long long time. The price was definitely steep with the live seafood dish, but the other dishes are worth exploring too!

Since leaving this review the owner of Sakura has left a reply using our names. This is obviously an attempt to bully and intimidate us and other people not to leave negative reviews.

The sushi on the menu out there looks delicious and a proper portion. But when u sit down and have a look at the sushi roll they have on teh sushi train, it blows ur mind as the rice is only one thin layer wrapping the seaweed and whatever inside! Most of the dish on the sushi train is just cooked tuna inside out roll or raw salmon inside out roll with a pile on chilli sauce and chill flakes on top! If its fresh, you dont need any of these saurce on top of a sushi or sashimi! I order a beef yakisoba and want to try with my friend but when it arrive, it blows my mind as that small quantity is already 9 dollars! 9 dollars for 2 stir of noodle , beef that are marinated with soda and two large pieces of capsicum! It blows our mind as we thought we could share it but now, it does not even fit for one person as the noodles are not even half way full with the dish! 9 dollars, i would have go over to the cafe and get a better sandwich or pay a bit extra to get some ribs , making sure two ppl are full. Now i spend 35 dollars and dont even know what we actually have for lunch!

At $3 for all plates (except the gold plates), it's a great find (not sure if this is an opening special only). Service was appalling. It's run by some novice Koreans who seem to have no knowledge or experience in the service industry. There was no greeting upon entering, you're expected to find a seat for yourself, no cutlery or dishes are provided so you have to ask the staff, no water is provided and you have to ask each time you want a refill, they forget orders (only to start preparing them 20 mins later when they remember, when you are about to leave), etc. The most frustrating thing was asking for the bill. We had stood up in front of the counter for a good 5 minutes directly in front of the staff, who were too busy to serve us - instead preferring to make sushi for the sushi train with zero customers at 8pm. When we were finally charged, the waiter typed in our bill into the system and then proceeded to have an in-depth discussion in Korean about how they had prepared the wrong order for a table not sitting at the sushi train! Will not be back again.

It is such a nice cosy sushi train in The District at Chatswood Interchange!…read more Food wise - quite fresh and I loved how they don't go overboard with mayo and sauce which is becoming more and more commonplace with sushi trains in Sydney. I could actually taste the food, not just mayo. $3 for all plates except gold plates. I think they serve infused leaf based green tea - not just tea bag. It definitely tasted more concentrated. Staff were quite friendly. It was quite short staffed but still they were pleasant. It's a $3 per plate sushi train - you do not expect high quality service. As long as they are not rude, I believe that's pretty good for a $3 per plate sushi train. I thought this place was pretty good compared to some in the city or even in Chatswood. The best and my favourite part has to be the seating! The seating is like a low rise bar with incredibly comfy wooden chairs. It was not like one of those high bar stools. Also we don't need to face other customers - we face chefs making sushi and the kitchen is almost half exposed so it's just good watching them roll sushi.. Overall loved the atmosphere!
