I get drawn to spicy food. Whenever I there is a spicy and non spicy option 99% of the time I have to get the spicy one. A visit to zenya was no exception. I had to get the spicy miso ramen. It came with a big chunk of spicy sauce sitting on top. Normally I would've just mixed the whole thing in but for some reason my spicy 6th sense told me to take out half and if it wasn't enough then add more in later. My goodness my 6th sense could not have been more correct. Even with only half the sauce mixed into the ramen my tongue and stomach were on fire!!!! It tastes great in the beginning but got a bit too much towards the end. So. Anyone ordering the spicy miso ramen. BEWARE!!! GO SLOW!!!

I was a little skeptical at first to try a Japanese noodle place in Eastwood (being a predominantly…read moreChinese neighborhood) but I was pleasantly surprised to find the flavours so authentic and the chefs and waitresses actually conversing in Japanese. The ramen here uses cloudy soup for their ramen which I don't really remember having in Japan, but I have had it in plenty of other noodle shops run by Japanese cooks around the world. My partner had the ton toro bento box which she swore was excellent.

My husband keeps raving about this place and tries to come every time he's in Sydney. Since he…read moreinsists this is the best sushi he has ever had ... Well I have try to see if it's worth the hype. They recognize him immediately which I find a little funny because he must come here more often than I think. We sit at the sushi bar and we are greeted by the chef and the waitress quickly sets down our plates and takes our drink orders. They pour us sake Japanese style. The service is impeccable even at the sushi bar. We had the omakase, which means the chef chooses your food for you and it consisted of all raw foods. We had a mix of sashimi and nigiri from both fish and shell fish. My top favorites were the scallop lightly seared and the super decadent toro with uni on top. That was so simple, but I have never had them together! There were 2 things about the omakase experience that really set this place apart from other sushi restaurants. 1. I tried fish that I have never heard of nor tasted before (and I can't spell them either) 2. They presented different parts of the fish for you to try. For example, he gave us yellow tail belly and then presented a yellow tail closer to the fin with a little of the skin to give it more flavor. I appreciated the extra attention of presenting the same fish, but in a slightly different way to enhance its flavor. Looking around I saw plenty of tables eating a mix of both raw and cooked foods. Even though we only had raw food, the cooked food looked delicious. If you're looking to try the omakase, call ahead to let them know. It was possible to also have cooked foods in our omakase, but we preferred raw. Yes, this place is worth the hype because of their service, attention to detail, great food and presentation and somehow it was still laid back. They knew my husband by name and most restaurants in big cities lack that personal touch.

Even if one of their lines is 'A bit slow, but friendly', I saw a lot of dirty tables around us that the staff completely ignored for about an hour.

Good for families with kids and small groups for dinner. Lots of space and usually pretty easy to get a table. As long as you don't mind sitting and waiting for a little while.

A step up from the local Sushi Train experience, the restaurant offers the familiar 'sushi on a plate' going round a track experience or you can enjoy the a la carte dining experience featuring a contemporary Japanese menu infused with traditional Japanese Izakaya dishes with Western ingredients & modern taste seated at a table. I advise you to make a reservation as I t can be very busy 6pm- 8pm Th, Fri,Sat. If you walk in without a reservation, you can expect to wait for about five to ten minutes to be seated. Joyce the manager usually welcomes you and organised your seating. The food choice is varied and easily ordered by the attentive wait staff. The Sushi plates on the rotating track are very good value for money. I like how you can order freshly made choices. There are so many to choose from! Sashimi- Salmon, Tuna, King Fish, Scampi, Scallops or Sushi favourites like inside out rolls - Salmon Tobiki, spicy soft shell crab, crumbled chicken, spicy tuna and seared scallops. Hot dishes are also available. Freshly fried or steamed Pork Gyoza, Karaage Chicken, Takoyaki Balls and Crab Claws. Salads - Soy Beans, Seaweed and mixed green salads add to your meal experience. The main a la carte menu choices are also my favourite. Plenty of choices - Tempura prawn,Tempura vegetables, Tora Karaage (chicken), Chicken or Waggu Beef Teriyaki. All dishes are served with rice. If you have room for it at the end you must try the Boom Alaska - Pandan meringue, green tea ice cream, sponge cake and Pandan curd. A mouth watering treat! I know some reviewers are saying this is NOT true Japanese cuisine but 'look alike food' created by Koreans and Chinese. Well I'm telling you - it doesn't have to be made by Japanese to taste like real Japanese food. Food ingredients are the same regardless of who makes it! End of story.

I tell Melle that the last time I came here that the sushi and sashimi were so tasty and fresh.

There are three grades of tuna available on the menu tonight. Melle prefers the medium grade and we all enjoy the usual tuna grade sashimi and nigiri which is typically served in restaurants. The usual tuna grade is a deep purple. Yuri explains that the lighter the tuna, the higher the grade. The highest grade is fatty and delicate. I love it!
