Japanese Hunter
Alexandra M.

Bartender seemed confused that I wanted a drink, and just a drink. Is that not what you sit at the bar around 5:30 for? Bit early for food... Japanese Hunter was served intricately. Made, poured into a big jug with ice, poured into my glass in front of me (with ice), only to be served a lukewarm drink. It tasted like whisky with a bit of apple. I like the decor and they have old cartoons playing on the wall (old black and white old, not original spongebob old).

Whiskey wall

Can not say enough great things about Tokyo bird. We came in looking for Japanese whiskey and they have the best selection I have ever seen. What made this visit extra special was that EVERY single employee took the time to talk to us and ask how we were enjoying Sydney. They even gave us suggestions on other good places to go to. They really made it feel like everyone that came in was friends and family. If I could give more stars I would. By far the best service we had in all of Sydney. The drinks were also fantastic.

Old fashioned made with Yamazaki 12yo $20

Motto - Chili Chicken Bento $10.90... Omg!!! Sooooo good! Just the right amount of spice in the chicken

Why no one's written a review is beyond me. But I'll gladly deflower, pop the cherry, take the…read moreV-card of this yummy establishment. 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..

Love this place! Had the chili chicken bento meal with a side of salad, seaweed salad, fried tofu,…read morerice, miso soup and refreshing tea all for 10.50!! And you get free icecream at the end. I asked them I make my chicken extra spicy and they definitely delivered! Love the spicy red sauce they had and it was a great portion size- just perfect for after a 3 hour bike ride around the city! Come discover this gem!

If you aren't familiar with T&J Fresh Sushi you will probably never be lucky enough to stumble upon…read moreit. 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 been here 3 times and everytime they always fail to impress. The staff doesn't seems to have…read moremuch idea what the menu is and the sushi that I received have super thin slices of fish and soggy sticky rice!
