    Relatively cheap and cheerful with good service and tasty food. Nothing out of this world or mind blowing here but everything is done well and shouldn't hurt your wallet too much unless you're a cow like me. They offer sushi, don-dishes, curries, organic soda and other standard all-in-one Japanese restaurant fare. Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The sushi/sashimi is fresh, portions large, and the rice dishes hit the spot. Great for takeout or for eating in for lunch and dinner.

    With a couple of outdoor seats and not many more inside, this small Japanese restaurant doesn't look like much, but when the food comes out you don't care about that! In an area with a number of Japanese restaurants, you have to do something special to make people come back, and this Masuya has nailed it. I decided on the mixed sashimi don along with a serving of the teriyaki salmon to share. The salmon was delicious if a little sickly with the thick sauce, but the freshness of the sashimi helped compliment this, combining into one fine meal! The service was prompt but not rushed which I always appreciate if I'm not settling in for a marathon meal. I'm all for trying different places, but this place will definitely be getting a visit from me again. Lucky them!

    Great value Japanese food. Being located by the Fish markets, the sashimi and seafood is always fresh.

    I felt like I was somewhere in Japan! We sat at the counter, which I recommend if you were here for…read morethe first time, a couple or a single. There was 6-7 people cooking on Friday night, one people at each station. Thus the food come out very quickly! We learn the hard lesson by making a mistake of ordering everting at once. Sure enough all the 8 dishes were delivered within 20 minutes.... make sure to place your order one to two dishes at a time. Food was good. Yakitori juicy, Hotate was fresh, seaweed salad, grilled mackerel, all dishes we ordered were pretty good. Old fashioned fries are a good deal (for Aussie price). Plenty of sake choices. You can choose from 100ml or 300ml so you can taste a little first, to see which one you like. I'll come back here again.

    Yebisu Izakaya has this nice and friendly vibe. Full of energy and the service was excellent! We…read morewere here on a weekday every for a light snack so the wait for table was around 10 minute. The ipad ordering system is well designed with detailed descriptions and wonderful photos. I did have a higher expectation with the food after reading all these 4/5 star reviews but nothing we ordered was really memorable. Maybe I did not order the right things? Good as a place to meet up with friends and have a drink but if you are looking for higher quality of Japanese fare, you might need to go somewhere. Just be careful the portion is tapas style and your bills can quickly added up if you want to have a full meal here.

    (Please read October 2018 update, can't be arsed doing yet another review of Makoto, but the news…read moreis good!) This hurts. For 15 years I've been enjoying that feeling of having a special place thats pretty much perfect. Where the guys knew me and the food was way above the rest. Makoto was the best Sushi Train I'd ever been to and it was fully 1 minutes walk down the road. So I went a lot, I mean at least 800 times. The value was there. My favourites were the tempura king prawn hand roll, the king prawn and omelette hand roll and the most basic of all, the salmon sushi. Thing was, all the offerings were fresh generous and delicious. Last year a new owner came in. You don't need to read anymore if you, like me, know what that always means. The first to go was James who had been there from the start. Most of the staff went because they put in the ubiquitous computer screen ordering system. Then they removed all the old prawn dishes. All of them. Now you are lucky if you get a pre prepared frozen crumbed prawn covered in a mayo mess. Then they reduced the sizes of every dish on the train so the salmon was much smaller. All my favourites disappeared or were scrimped. Then they put all the prices up. The next thing to go was the queue, then the regulars stopped going. Now there's barely anyone there at 12 noon when there used to be a wait for ten to fifteen minutes. I'll still go now and then because its still fresh and its still close. The really sad thing is that I see people there who never saw what it used to be - they probably think that this is a pretty good place, they don't know what it was like. Sigh. Update October 2018 The tempura king prawns hand rolls are back!!!! The other day they had the old cooked prawn and mayonnaise gunkan on the train, its not back full time but at least it made an appearance! The salmon sashimi is no longer scrimped upon. Its back to its old size. Back to 5 stars for the prawn hand rolls alone. Thank you God, I really missed those things. And they are still on the blue plates, which have been bumped from $3.60 to $3.80 - so what - 20c!! Two words - yaa. hoo.

    This a big call but I think this is the best sushi train in Sydney!! Genrally I don't like sushi…read moretrains but this is certainly an exception. The seafood is always fresh and of a high grade. However this does come at a price and you will certainly be paying for it. They have great Salmon sashimi but my favourites come off the menu, not the train and they are the omelette and king prawn hand roll and fisherman's soup. The Agedashi tofu ain't bad either ! I only wish less people knew how good this place is as sometimes the queue is pretty long.
