Friendly staff, fresh food and sometimes they play soft jazz (I wish they did this more often). Overall once you come here you can forget about going to any other sushi places. Highly recommended that you try the Wagyu Beef with mayo and Teriyaki scallops.

Even my picky Dad found his rare favorites, like sea urchin and salmon roe. The seafood was so fresh and beautifully cooked. Plates we ordered from the menu were quite fast to come out too. The Japanese-born waitstaff, chefs and owner especially were very helpful, attentive, friendly and polite. Great tasting food, short wait times, wonderful atmosphere and cheerful staff are the only criteria I need for a perfect casual dining restaurant to fill. Definitely made me miss my time in Japan!

They also offer catering and take-away. I haven't been here for dinner, but come for lunch at least once a week and have never had a complaint. They always have a nice selection of fresh, ready-made sushi boxes at the front counter, usually priced between $ 8 - 10. The rest of the lunch menu has decent variety too (except for sushi rolls - these are pretty limited). I definitely recommend the teriyaki salmon steak bento box. For only $15.50 you get a nice sized piece of salmon, 3 pieces of tempura, a small salad, rice, miso soup, and 2 pieces of sushi. Yum!

Well, how pleasantly surprised I was to find it is superb. Started with mixed sashimi, beautifuly presented on a slate, very fresh. The teriyaki salmon bento box was wonderful with so many little delicacies. My John dory with scalaps and a home made tartar sauce was out of this world. There is a small but adequate wine and beer list and sake of course. The service is warm and friendly with a very pleasant ambience. For a Japanese restaurant the price is quite reasonable. We will be back soon.

She got straight High Distinctions for Finance and Accounting at Uni last year. She is tight, and I mean parsimonious. But I offered to pay so she came with me. Great little spot for sushi and sashimi, and for such great quality sashimi the price is amazing. Alon's review is off the mark about this place, its really good Japanese food.

It happens to be my favourite sushi train on the north side of Sydney. I love going here for lunch or dinner. It's located on Victoria Street in Chatswood right outside the Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre. It's often busy but if you're in a small group or grabbing a quick bite by yourself you should be able to get a seat at the train right away. The wait staff are attentive which is a nice change as it's not always the case at sushi train restaurants. The variety of sushi is really good - fresh sashimi, grilled scallop, California roll, prawn sushi, salmon, baby rolls.. I could happily go on and on.. There are Japanese chefs busily preparing food in front of you and they are more than happy to make you a fresh plate of whatever you would like off their menu. There is also a selection of Japanese dishes on the menu which you won't find on the train but can be ordered from the wait staff. If you have any room left for dessert after sampling all the delicious sushi, I recommend ordering the green tea ice-cream off the menu. It comes in a sundae glass and there is enough to share between two. Although, it's so good you may not wish to share it with anyone else.

I'm currently working my way through the $2.50 options, & doubt that I'll never need to splurge on the $3 rolls. All the rolls are plump and delicious. Tried prawns, variations of chicken & tuna, but my latest fave is a beef one. It's a bit spicy. Bring your cash as they don't accept cards. Tanoshimu.

Since I last visited, Acacia has introduced a new lunch menu. AMAZING!…read moreThey now offer a huge selection of lunch sets which include mains, rice, miso and salads. I went with a group of 4. We each chose a different set. My Sashimi don and mini udon set was amazing. A generous serving of sashimi (3 types of fish + prawn + squid +omlette) on rice with a steaming bowl of delicate vegetable udon, plus miso, plus salad, plus wakame and daikon pickles!! A massive lunch for only $17. The ginger pork set was similarly impressive, as was the sushi set and teriyaki chicken set. The special of the day is $13.90 and includes a featured lunch set with free wine/tea or soft drink. Everything else on the lunch menu is still between $15 and $20. Amazing dining for the price. I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes on offer!
