I was pleasantly surprised to find Genki Sushi in Syndey after having tried and loving it in Tokyo…read more And it was exactly the same! The sushi was fresh and there was still conveyor belts sending you your orders from the tablets. The main thing I love about Genki is the freshness of their sushi. It's delicately made, the rice is good, and their fish is also good too. Everything came out super quickly too. Nothing was bad! The only thing you gave to keep out is the pricing of the plates, there's definitely some better deals than others and before you know it, the plates can add up. For example, three shrimp tempura was almost $10. The pricing seemed to be more expensive than Japan but I'll owe that to the conversion rates. The only thing that they don't have here is the hot water dispensers that they have in Japan with the instant green tea powder.

For anyone who has travelled to Tokyo, you probably know what Genki is all about. It is a sushi…read moretrain where your food is actually delivered to you on a train. You place your orders on a tablet and the kitchen sends your food out personally to you on a toy train that stops in front of your seat. Grab your food and press the button to return the train empty back to the kitchen. The Sydney location opened in May 2017 on George Street not far from World Square and is located at basement level. The store is spacious but the decor is a little Spartan for my liking. The menu has decent variety and prices are standard for Sydney (read expensive). In my opinion, if you want high quality sashimi - then go to Makoto but for everything else Genki hits the right notes. All in all, I would recommend Genki for at least the novelty value but it will not compare to Genki in Tokyo.

Very typical loud Cantonese dim sum place.....if you closed your eyes, you'd think you're in Hong…read moreKong or any Chinatown. Dim sum was pretty good, slightly above average in taste but slightly undersized. Nothing tasted poorly, but the only item I thought was outstanding was the egg tart; large tarts with creamy egg filling and super-flaky pastry crust. Pricing seemed average as was the service. Items ordered were the aforementioned egg tart, chicken feet fried taro dumpling, hom Sui gok, shrimp rice roll, steamed black bean pork rib, cha Sui bao, & ha Gao. Nothing wrong but there are probably better places.

Decided to check out this Japanese while hanging out in Burwood for the day. Burwood road offers a…read morewide selection of various Asian cuisines and the restaurant front looked quite fresh and new compared to the many others. The interior is quite appealing also with many Japanese themed paintings and designs. The menu is large with various selections of bento boxes, sushi, ramen, udon etc. I ordered the Karaage Chicken Udon Hot with an extra hard boiled egg. Then I sat and waited and waited for my food. I was on 30 minute lunch break and by the time it came out it was down to 10 minutes. The lady was very apologetic but their only seemed to be her and the chef working their so don't know if that's just today or always cause it took too long coming out. The food itself was quite nice but wasn't blow your nose and sweaty forehead hot like I had hoped. Portion size was fair though and I enjoyed it even though ended up eating at 100km per hour so I wouldn't end up super late back. Unfortunately still was late . Oh well!

My favourite is the Red chicken wings, which are deep fried wings served in red wine sauce. My other pick is the Garlic quail in a garlic and soy sauce with grilled mixed vegetables. The service is fast even though they are always busy, also they offer a bargain takeaway special for $10 including a meal and rice, unfortunately you don't get the option of the chef's specials but the available options still are worth going for if you want some cheap good take out.

So much food on the plate there's always left overs for tomorrow's lunch. :)

The dumplings have thick skin which I love and are a pretty good size with plenty of meat. The noodles are also yummy and the perfect chewy texture. Very QQ.

I've read so many great things about Yok Yor, that it was the first Thai restaurant I took my…read morefamily to for their first visit to Sydney. We made reservations online, so we were quickly seated on arrival. This place doesn't look particularly special - very average looking place - but it's not why we were there. We were there for the food. We reviewed the menu and ended up ordering and trying the following: - Gai Hor Bai Teuy - OK. One of my favourite dishes when visiting a particular Thai restaurant in Seattle, WA, USA, but it didn't really compare. The chicken was a overcooked and chewy, and honestly a bit bland. I know it could be much better if there was more pandan used to infuse extra flavour. - Kuay Teaw Rua (Boat Noodle) - OK. Another favourite dish of mine that is hard to find back at home. This one was OK, but didn't find the flavour as deep compared to the best one's I've had. Very spicy for me too. - Crispy pork cracker - Bad. It was just too hard, and some were chewy. They weren't fresh. - Pad See Iew - Good. Probably the only dish that met some of my high expectations. Service was fine. Honestly, I've heard so many good things about this place, and how Thai food in Sydney second to none, I really wanted to be blown away... but I wasn't. Based on this visit, I thought it was OK at best.
