There were a number of people at the beginning but the crowd slowly dies down around 7.30pm. Sushis are pretty good. Just that the rice wasn't cold or the authentic Japanese rice (minus a star). The ingredients used were pretty good as they were flavorful and colorful. Portion was pretty good too for the $3.00/$3.50 plates. Yup, it will adds up according to how much you eat. Service was pretty good. Staffs were friendly and welcoming. The other customers seemed to be happy with what they got too. Located next to the food court, this is definitely a good option if you would like to get away from the crowds. Overall, was satisfied with the different sushis I've tasted and the must try here is the green tea (outer) infused with red bean mochi. Definitely a good one to end your meal with. Not too sweet and chewy :)

We were on a Groupon voucher which had been discounted so we were paying a good price. However, we…read morewere the only ones. It looked like they had a few regulars. We arrived early 11:30am for a noon lunch but no problems. We were asked if we would like the chefs to start our lunch early. It was windy and miserable outside so I opted for the warmed sake. It was fine but we did try some nicer sake at the end of the meal. Our plates came out in a timely manner. I think due to the waitress paying attention to how quickly we were eating. The restaurant was filled by noon and when a large group arrived at the door they had to make a decision to find somewhere else to eat. All of our food was great and we even opted to pay for a second plate. The bento boxes and other lunch time meals looked good too.I also liked the cocktail with lychee. There are quite a few eating places within a short walk of this place and they were also very busy.

Umaya happens to be around the corner from a church I was visiting in sydney and I came here frequently. I had the karage don and the katsu don bowls and they were both awesome!

Definitely a go to place if you're ever in the outskirts of sydney australia!

We love this place. Totally love…read more Well worth the drive if you are feeling like a bit of a meat fest. We always go as a group of about 9 people and have the buffet menu. Which is basically all you can order and eat from the entire menu for $48.80 Monday to Thursday and $52.80 Friday to Sunday; which is the deluxe option. There is also the standard option that doesn't get you everything from the menu but most things, Monday to Thursday that will cost you $38.80 and from Friday to Sunday it costs you $43.80. The all you can eat buffet goes for 2 hours, so you can order and eat continuously for 2 hours before they pull the plug. They always let you know when you have last orders as well to ensure no mix up. You get plates and plates of everything you ordered and get to cook it yourself on the hot stoves on the table. Please be aware that if you are anything like our guys, they tend to smoke the place out and last time this caused the fire alarms to go off and the firemen to turn up. Not that I was complaining about the perving on the firey's but you get the drift! There is also a set menu you can order from if you prefer not to do the all you can eat option. The staff are lovely and attentive and even after we accidentally set off the fire alarm they always welcome us back with quiet giggles. It can get rather loud at certain points in the evening, however it's well worth it for the food.

There really isn't much going on in the Western Sydney Japanese scene. Found this place online…read moreafter doing a search for ramen places in Parramatta. I was a bit nervous on the drive there and went in with low expectations. The restaurant is very small and had elements of a typical Japanese restaurant set up. I ordered the katsu chicken ramen an shared the magma roll. The katsu chicken wasn't your normal golden brown coloured exterior but nevertheless tasted really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the ramen after I heaped on some chilli flakes. This isn't readily available on the table so don't forget to ask if you're a fan. The soup was pretty delicious and I almost drank my bowl dry. The magma roll was a bit disappointing though. Not as hot as I expected. Having salmon and canned tuna pieces together probably isn't the best idea either. The tuna definitely out ways the salmon even though it's the salmon you really want to task. Overall a great place for a ramen fix if you are ever in western sydney.

They're many Japanese restaurant contenders in my area but this tiny place remains me of alot of gems we visited in Japan. So if they're busy you might find it hard to get seating, but takeaway option still available. The menu is basic but covers the whole range: sushi, sashimi, ramens, udons, tempuras, bentos, entrees etc. I go here so often (eat in or takeaway) because everytime I order it's like ordering for the first time. the consistency doesn't drop just because you're a regular, which I've had with many other restaurants before. The quality is awesome, especially for such a small restaurant. I've been visiting this place since it first opened and been a loyal fan since. FYI they do open on Sundays now so don't be deterred!

I've been here twice and both times it has been a great experience. I came once on a weekday, and…read morethe second time was on a Saturday. Whilst the overall restaurant atmosphere was a bit quieter on the weekday, the chef I had was actually livelier and more exuberant, although both chefs were great. As there was less people, I felt like we also had larger portions of the food, although both times we opted for Option A, and you'll still probably be very full anyway. The food tasted great, and the games at the end resulted in lots of fun and laughter. Teppanyaki is especially fascinating as a first-time experience. It's not something you'd go regularly to as it would probably soon lose its sparkle, but going once per year works out great for my family and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences here!

Japanese ramen is my newest obsession btw. The location is on Smith Street a mere 5 minute walk from the Parramatta train station for those worries about accessibility. I've also noticed street parking a few blocks away. I had the pork pot stickers to start and they were not the typical fried ones you'd get around town. These were steamed and served in a bath of a light soy sauce mixture and greens. Quite tasteful and perfect for folks like me with a shellfish allergy who worry about cross contamination of deep fried foods. I followed this up with the main event a bowl of the ramen with pork broth. I'm not sure which one I ordered but three varieties were on order miso, soya and salt. I'd imagine they taste pretty similar but don't quote me there. The broth was a thick, opaque medley of flavors and came with sesame seeds, seaweed, green onions, bean sprouts and roast pork loin. This broth normally comes with mushrooms (which I don't like) and corn (which while expected wasn't included). I believe this place is a chain but I'd definitely come here again when craving ramen. The service was great with a friendly and attentive wait staff welcoming all patrons with a friendly Japanese greeting. This place offers take away but I'd recommend sitting down when you have the time to savor the entire experience. For those in search of a quick treat they offer $3.50 to go sushi rolls. There are also sushi chefs available behind the bar turning out some beautiful tasty looking sushi dishes. Large offering of Japanese and Korean wines and beer on offer for those in need of a drink after a long day.
