Tyler WaalerMay 20, 2015Great stop if you happen to be shopping at Pitt St Mall. The lunch rush starts right at 12:30 though, so be prepared. And you don't have to sit at the Sushi train to take from it, FYI!UpvoteDownvote
Josh GuestJanuary 14, 2013Hands down some of the best sushi you will find. With the added bonus of a trainUpvoteDownvote
Elaine LuuJanuary 30, 2015Great food, would love more variety on the sushi train thoughUpvoteDownvote
Myles WatkinsAugust 25, 2012Some of the sushi is tasty but it's all room temperature and even the fried stuff is cold. Service is non existent, waited a minute to be seated then gave up and found a seat ourselves.UpvoteDownvote
Kelvin LimMarch 11, 2012Super thick and big slices, fresh salmon,.. For $15, definitely value for money

The chicken donburi is pretty small - around 2 spoonfuls of rice and a few pieces of chicken. No the bowl is not bigger than it seems!UpvoteDownvote
Darin FoxJanuary 2, 2014Mostly canned tuna, chicken, and cooked salmon. Not very good.UpvoteDownvote
Dale RankineSeptember 6, 2012Watch out for minimum $30 spend for credit card and eftpos. Crazy.UpvoteDownvote
Alessio BirighittiJune 6, 2013Sushi on train is room temperature. Lack of choice, only few plates. Insufficient service.. No more!!UpvoteDownvote
Julian ThomasJuly 12, 2012Sushi isn't fresh, and it's all the same thing. Service ain't too good either. You're better of having Japanese elsewhere.Upvote1Downvote
Hayley Bizjak-SmithJune 6, 2013If you're after deep fried crap this is the ace to come! Disappointed!UpvoteDownvote
Tony VuongJanuary 1, 2012new dining layout resulting in a food court feel. Really poor and slow service. Food feels old and mass produced.Upvote1Downvote
Tiffany RamseyNovember 30, 2013I don't know what's happened to this place I used to really like. Poor food. Poor service. Maybe it was a one off.UpvoteDownvote

"One of the best sashimi in Sydney (but yes it's rather pricey). Tempura is good. Rolled sushi rolls are yum. Tofu avocado salad, barasushi also good."
