Motto is the underdog of Japanese restaurants at Sussex Centre. Not only do they live in the shadow of highly rated Ramen Ikkyu, but Motto's location doesn't get the best foot traffic either. The escalators up from ground floor plop you out on the opposite side. This was my third time visiting Motto. Typically, there would be one or two very helpful and courteous girls who greet and coax you into checking out their menu. Thank goodness for picture menus! This time there was a dude by the of Chris working behind the counter. He first thanked me for stopping to look at the menu, then after suggesting that I should try one of the deep-fried options, he thanked me again for ordering. Genuinely courteous? Absolutely! CHICKEN KATSU PLATE ($9) OMG!!!! Best bang for your buck for suuuuure! The chicken is exactly how Chicken Katsu is supposed to be made. Crispy, flaky outside and juicy inside. If you've read my other reviews, you know I can consider myself a bit of a Chicken Katsu snob since that's my go-to-dish at Japanese restaurants. To top things off with this belly-loving dish, you get rice, a side salad w/dressing and miso soup... Oh and almost forgot THE BEST part - FREE ICE CREAM!!!!! Definitely coming back again to try another suggestion..

We got there at 1956 and they stop taking orders at 2000. We had about four minutes for all three of us to pick a meal and place our order. With that being said, I'm not sure we got a full look at the menu but we're very happy with our selection. The food was delicious, filling, and very reasonably priced. One thing they did not do is refill our water. This seems to be a common thing in Sydney so maybe people don't drink much water or maybe you have to ask. We haven't quite figured that out yet.

(BTW - who decided that mustard and mayo is acceptable on raw fish?) I've stopped a couple other times and enjoyed the Udon and Bento Box (which is a very generous amount of food). I'll recommend eating off the menu rather than the train, as there are much better options for sushi trains in the CBD. The staff is very friendly. The card limit is $20

I added some pics of the dishes I recommend, sashimi salad and beef hot plate. The standout dish for me is definitely the chicken cabbage pancake which is something I tend to order every visit. They have a sushi train too, which I've yet to try. I found the service to be average.

Read about this place on an article and it did not disappoint!…read more There is a wide range of ramen to choose from. In most of the choices, you can pick shoyu, miso, tonkatsu soup base. I tried the black garlic shoyu ramen and it was really good. Just a right amount of noodles for me and the soup is flavorful. The takoyaki is a stand out for me, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. (will highly recommend it). My husband tried the Yasai ramen (vegetables) and it was really good. The stir fry vegetables was yummy, I will definitely order that the next time. Overall, a good food dining experience. Maybe not the best ramen I had, but it's definitely worth trying :)

It just opened up a couple of weeks ago, so it's still new in the Glebe dining scene, but based off the crowds we've seen walking by other times, and when we were in, it's doing really well. The fish wasn't the top quality, but given the portion sizes and the vast options, it's goo enough. We loved the seafood hot pot, with crab, octopus, prawns, salmon head, and all kinds of veggies! And the Ishiyaki Bibimbab was smoking hot and cool to look at as well. We'll put this in the rotation for future feed-bag nights. Not the fanciest, but it'll fill you up and won't break the sushi bank!

It is located in the courtyard of an apartment complex on Mountain Street and Broadway. I can only hope someone is clever enough to search for 'sushi' and will find this review. I was never avid fan of sushi so I didn't really eat it all that often. But things changed when I found T&J Fresh Sushi. Now I order by phone for the whole office so frequently that they remember me by name. We mix up our orders and ask for half half, which they are always happy to do. I used to go for the Large Roll ($10) but found I could never finish it so now I stick with the Medium Roll ($5) of half vegetable beef teriyaki and half avocado prawn tempura. Paired with their 'special sauce' and a dash or two of soy, it is hands down the best sushi I have ever had. I have also tried the Gyoza ($7) but as they are deep fried, I don't enjoy them as much as the Chinese steamed ones. I can't stress enough how lovely the staff are, always so friendly and genuinely happy to see you. There is some basic seating that spills into the courtyard, a great place to eat your lunch in the sun.

I have to say, these guys complicate some of the dishes more than I need, but I have to say, what they come up with is truly inspired. If they add a little smoke flavor to something, it's so subtle that it's quite amazing. And they do it naturally - with flame, not fake things. The sashimi is fresh and wonderful, as is the Hamachi or Crudo. They do some sushi that has those different flavored mayonnaises involved, which is not really how I like sushi, but I had to admit the flavors were incredible. And the presentation was beautiful. The ramen was solid as well. The noodles were fresh and wonderful. I'd come here again.

I was quickly sat by a waitstaff and she told me to scan the QR code on the dining table. Everything had to be ordered and paid via the website. Cellphone signal was a bit choppy as the restaurant is on the lower ground level. There were two WiFi servers and needed clarification from another server which to sign on. Once I placed my order, my Gyoza was delivered within 5 minutes, few minutes later my Chicken Karaage Don was dropped second. Delicious and made fresh!! Other items on the menu I'd like to try later are ramen and side orders, Ipuddo & Wonderbao, Rice dishes including curry, and they also serve Beer and Sake! This would be a perfect spot for HH! For those who like to dine out with large groups, who may have friends or attendees who drink too much, or don't dish out their fair share of the meal, this is a perfect place as you order on your own as the restaurant doesn't accommodate separate checks and/or multiple credit cards from a large party.

Basically, what's so good about Maroo is that it's dependable. The menu is great (you can pretty much be assured that something will tempt you) including a delicious sushi & sashimi box and yummy vegetarian gyoza (a welcome pork replacement on any Japanese menu). Whilst their a bit stingy with their wasabi (a single, perfectly round, pea-sized portion per table), the sashimi is always fresh, the staff are happy to accommodate and the upstairs balcony is a little big magical by night. And the winning touch: if you want Japanese and your companion wants Thai, you can both get what you want and still practically dine together, with only an inch (or two) separating the balconies of Maroo and it's neighbouring At Home Thai. Genius.
