I am surprised that panko rice balls always get the praises and nobody ever mentioned their desserts . Yuzu souffle is heavenly. if you like light and refreshing desserts , that is.

Richard Foo

Excellent sushi , sashimi and Robata dishes in a buzzy, cool and happening atmosphere. The new style sashimi is to die for. Try also the grilled eggplant , Scampi Tempura , and Nigiri Sushi set.

Foodtraveler_theworld

The place is for your dining with friends, couple with chic , trendy & cozy ambience . Sushi roll , sashimi , wagyu strip loin are all good to try. Nixon & S Express Sushi Roll May be good for you.

Rachel Anne

7 course was amazing with pairing wines . All staff were friendly and watching the chefs from the bar was exciting. They greet new customers in Japanese when they come through. Real buzzing place!

Jon Gleich

Stylish ...this is where the beautiful people go for Japanese but don't let the scene or price tag put you off- the food is legit and service is great. The sashimi tacos are dear but tasty.

Veljko Pavicevic

9 course tasting menu is a must. Very busy for lunch . Great service!!! Highly recommended, Sake double bay needs to get some couching from Sake Argyle Street.

Benjamin Johansson

A restaurant like this only exists in New York, London and Sydney - It's kind of an adventure eating here. On top of that, the food is delicious!

Michael Weigel

Wonderful Japanese food . Had lamb chops , octopus , pork belly , sashimi and nigiri . The best Japanese food I've ever had.

Wade Rifkin

Popcorn shrimp , sushi set (salmon belly is killer) and zen old fashioned will do you right

Wally Muzlantov

The food here is very nice but the atmosphere was not that nice with very loud music in the background. This meant for a fine dining restaurant you had to talk very loud to the person next to you.

Kylie Jay

Get the sake sampler! And trust the waitstaff to know what to bring you. The jalapeño kingfish sashimi was out of this world

TimeOut Sydney

Ever had a sake bomb ? You take a pony of beer , rest two chopsticks on the rim of the glass, then gently balance a shot glass of sake on top of the chopsticks. Take your two fists, cry "ichi! Nee! San! Read more

Dawn DeVirgilio

Do as foursquare says - get the prawn dumplings ! (And the ginza Bellini is refreshing!)

Denea GourmetRabbit

The flagship of Shaun Presland's Japanese brilliance. Grab the popcorn shrimp , Salon S Express roll and a bottle of something effortlessly German and white. Awesome awesome awesome

Florian Ney

Must be one of the best sushi places I've ever seen (be sure I've seen a few).

Gerald van Gezza

Steamed prawn dumplings are top, better than New Shanghai in chattswood.

Stephen

You will not be disappointed. This has become my favourite restaurant in Australia.

Richard T.

Kozaemon yuzu really live up to its reputation. A mix taste of lemon and very mellow. Easy to drink during summer.

Summer Riesling

Can there be any better match for Riesling than Japanese food . Tap 'DONE' if you matched Chef Sean Preslands amazing food with a riesling .

Nick Bentley

Take a risk & try something you've never eaten before. Thank me later.

Michelle

Get the degustation menu !

Clancy Kornie

The Hattori Hanzo is to die for!

Sabine Schmidt

Nothing out of the ordinary. The dishes were quite simple and we were not completely satisfied. I think I could say that I will not remember this restaurant and that I love Japanese food .

Elliot Chance

Try the tasting menu , everything was delicious.

Jason Liew

Sushi set reminds me of Japan. Pricey but pretty good quality fish .

Fabio M.

don't miss the gindara !

K de Ville

This place came out with flying colours, then the service dropped off after entree. Great food, nice staff-pity management has failed to forecast correctly for peak times.

The Al

The caramelised cod was the standout, but everything was good.

Dana Allen

Sashimi , rolls, tempura vegetables

Doug Derricott

Atmosphere is Nobu on steroids!

King fish Jalapeñ o!!!

Sally

An over priced tourist trap in the heart of The Rocks. Service and food are both hit and miss...unless you're famous.

If you leave before trying the shumai prawn dumplings , you're a fool.
