Really delicious food and friendly staff. Appreciated the complimentary sardine entree. They really looked after my mother who has reduced mobility and use a stroller to walk.

Best sushi that I have had in Sydney. Had a great lunch there and tried a couple of different sake/Nihonshu to go with it. Chef Jiho’s “omakase” choice of sushi, each piece is carefully crafted. He is passionate about what he creates. Will go back for sure; want to try the dinner course too.
