Siansiam Fresh Sushi restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 This place is recently opened in my neighbourhood and today finally I gave it a go. The owner/chef is by himself therefore the food might take a while to be ready. He is quite kind and has a positive attitude which I really appreciated. Service is friendly and menu has great selections. We ordered a...

Ikura Canterbury

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I was served by Blair, she was an amazing host and made me feel incredible welcome whilst being incredibly knowledgeable each part of the dishes. I had the edamame, karage chicken with their own in house made sauce, salmon sashimi, tofu. All the dishes were made with elegance and class that is unma...

Wakai

👍👍 Very cozy spot for Japanese food. I had bulgogi beef poke and it was amazing! The ratio between toppings are just right. The portion was huge and very satisfied. I’ll definitely come back again to try different dishes ☺️

Wayama Japanese Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Not your typical Japanese restaurant in Australia but something you'll expect to find in the most conspicuous corner of a yokocho in Japan. Food was lovely and service was terrific. I liked the small and cozy environment.

Coco Bento

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 If you’re looking to grab a quick Japanese meal for a great price in a location with plenty of free parking I suggest you give this venue a try. $10 lunch specials shown in the pictures including miso soup are fantastic value.

Sushi Wow

Conveyor belt sushi restaurant

👍 Sushi wow - relatively close to the train station (under 10 mins). There isn’t too much seating inside so there was quite a wait to get in, but I think it was relatively worth it. The staff were pretty polite and welcoming and were quite attentive with cleaning and making sure we had enough water....

👍👍 I can emphasize enough how much I loved our experience here. The food was a top, sexy ambiance, with the best service. We've ordered an extra Paradise 6 dessert with a bottle of red wine and another few glasses of white. It was a birthday dinner for my best friend, and there was nothing that didn'...

Neko Neko Newtown

Japanese restaurant

👍 Photos faithful to what ramen you'll get. Not a vegan connoisseur but I will say that the tan tan ramen hits a spot at a moderate to expensive price range. Still cant put it past the ambience and great vegan food. Would recommend to others as a good ramen spot. Do rate the toilet too lmao.
