Came here while staying in Sydney. Prices are on the higher end, but the fish is fresh and delicious. The scallops were soft and amazing, with the Wagyu Nigiri being buttery and a perfect end to the dinner. The atmosphere is great with the belt going around the sushi bar. They also offer at seat online ordering in case you don't see what you want on the belt. Would highly recommend for anyone that has never had conveyer belt sushi before.

Delicious and wonderful friendly staff. So many yummy options, only wish I could eat more. Everything was amazing but highlights were the croquettes and sashimi. Getting hungry thinking about it 🤤

The su shi are delicious, especially the hand rolls! But a bit higher price than others! We spent 188 for 6 ppls! We would like to suggest loyalty cards to save points or 10 times for 1 free coupon for frequent customers to encourage loyalty customers to come more frequently!

I have been working nearby and coming here for lunch very often. The service is always very efficient and with a smile. the dishes are delicious and, of course, quick, which is perfect when you just have a quick lunch break. Thanks and see you again soon.

Sushi Train at Bondi Junction is a fun and friendly place to eat at any time of the day. The staff greet everyone as they walk in and again all yell out goodbyes as you leave. It’s really fun. The plates of food that role past are plentiful with lots of variety. You can even get yummy desserts and fruit bowls. The sushi chefs are constantly making dishes in the centre so you can see everything is freshly made.

Had the set course, even though it was close to close time and was the last table to leave, we were not rushed at any stage at all! Very good service

My new favourite Japanese restaurant in Sydney! Warm & friendly Japanese staff, excellent & fresh food and authentically Japanese - which is rare to find in Sydney these days. I will be coming here again & again! Thank you Wa team 💓

This is a great place in Bondi Junction for Japanese food, it’s moved from across the road and looks like it’s now in a restaurant that used to be Italian hence some of the internal designs that don’t look very authentic 👍🏼 The food is great, can get very busy at meal times and the service can be a bit chaotic and slow but the food is always served with a smile, if you’re not in a hurry then it’s really enjoyable!! Definitely worth a visit 😊

Wow! So we have been Wa customers for 17 years. When we wanted to eat out, Wa Japanese Restaurant Cafe was our favorite. We had Wa catering - sushi and other yummy dishes - for our son’s 21st birthday party. The food at Wa was always superb, prepared fresh, authentic Japanese and artistically presented and eating out of beautiful Japanese porcelain ware and drinking out of clean, gleaming glasses were so refreshing.
Last night, my husband and I brought our visiting son and his guest back to Wa. He missed saying hi to the friendly chefs. He missed the fine food.
We each had the 6-course dinner. The verdict: food quality and presentation is a welcome constant. Wa does its best to ensure its offerings are done the same always: whether it be years ago, yesterday or today. We have been to restaurants where food quality varies. Not with Wa. Fine food is always presented in the freshest and most artistic form.
Wa is on the ground floor (on the right) of The Forum, a commercial and residential building, 310-330 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction. Wa is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am - 2.30pm, 5 - 9.30pm; Sunday 5 - 9.30pm. It is closed Mondays.

The first impression of the menu was that the price is on the high end, but after the food arrived and tasted, it is worth every penny. Waguy beef so tender, juicy and source full of flavours. Specially rice for sushi and set menu dishes. Good location but limited seating capacity and spacr when it's busy. The indoor seating allows you to unintentionally hear your neighbours conversation at the next table. Very friendly and attentive staff serving customers. Highly recommended if you are after quality and service.

Its a quick and cheap ish Japanese place, with lots of menu to choose from. The Japanese owners are nice, but the non Japanese worker are a bit rude. In any case, this place is good for a quick lunch.

Overall delicious and affordable food, tonkotsu ramen comes with pulled pork instead of sliced pork belly
Yanika Yaz - 2 months ago
Really delicious tonkotsu broth, interesting take on the pork as it was pulled instead of sliced.
The sides are all very tasty, including and especially the crumbed and fried chicken - resembling the Fami-Chiki that we love from Japan.
Interesting setup - almost like a school canteen, but it's made to order, right in front of you.
Daryl Gilbert - a month ago
Food was quite average.
Would say it’s alright if you’re grabbing a quick bite to eat.
Place was nicely decorated and had a good ambiance.
As far as spices go, they use more southeast Asian type of spices. Not quite close to what they would use in Japan.

Spring Street Nook Cafe is a cosy, little establishment located at the corner of the Royal Arcade. It's more of a buy-and-go place since there are limited chairs and tables to sit at if you choose to dine-in. Regardless, it has a pleasant vibe with decent service. The cost is on the pricier side, however the food and drinks are delicious.
I purchased the "Green Goddess" juice for $8, which has a combination of (green) apple, baby spinach and mint and tasted very refreshing and nice. For food, I chose the "Bacon and egg roll" for $12 which tasted as it should and was super filling.
This cafe is a nice place but you should expect to spend around $20-$30 if you plan to have a meal with a drink. If you're only doing a coffee/drink and pastry, it'll definitely be under $20.

I was craving for Mango Stick rice and I found at this restaurant, it was soo delicious that I had to order the second one!
Stuff are super friendly and the place it very clean. Highly recommend it!!

We shared four dishes during dinner at GU Thai Studio Kitchen. They were all very tasty and quite varied. The portion sizes were great and the ingredients were fresh. Highlights were the stir fried beef with garlic and pepper sauce; the pineapple fried rice and the dry noodle bowl with beef.

A very warm and welcoming ambiance. There is a flower wall just at the front wall. Looks really nice, the tables are well cleaned and everything is in order. Staff is friendly and cooperative. The place is neat, tidy and hygiene
I ordered beef Pad Thai, the live cooking was fast as my order was delivered in 5 minutes, the pad thai was amazing noodles were perfectly boiled, the protein was in a good quantity as well as quality. I like the taste but personally i felt like the Pad Thai was a bit over-saucy. However it was very good
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Sitting in the back between boxes of random stuff,
3 dishes, 3 rice.
1 rice had pieces of aluminium foil in it,
I curry had a massive black hair in it.
Staff exchanged curry when we showed them, but won't eat here again.
Seeing the staff at the back handle food without hairnets or not washing hands between handling food and dirty plates isn't acceptable.
Tom Seelbach - 2 months ago
During lockdown we’ve been ordering from Gu Thai every week and never been let down in quality. Finally had the chance to dine in and to top off the incredible food the chefs prepare we had service above and beyond by the lovely lady at the front. Definitely our regular spot to visit from now on - Thank you!!
If you’re wondering what to get, Fish in Secret Garden is an absolute winner

Had a few drinks which were reasonably priced, and a good cocktail. The balcony was full, with many people smoking. Sat inside in an area which had small parts open to the outdoors (no view). Again lots smoking in this area which wasn't to my taste.

Unexpectedly good fish and chips, and the service from the bar guy was friendly, helpful and efficient. I’d go again when there’s a better atmosphere though, because it just smelt like stale cigarettes and mostly mature people were dining in their Sunday best today.

Good weekday lunch spot with the $10 specials, where a schnitzel and burger are on the list. Usually a lot quieter on weekday afternoons so the service is pretty quick. Happy regular weekday customer who keeps coming back for them specials.

This place offers affordable food, a quirky atmosphere and good beers. I've only given them three stars because my burger was dry.
Kristine Davis - 3 years ago
If you're looking for a good chicken schnitzel - Goodtime Burgers within the Eastern hotel is hard to beat. They have a very solid standard schnitzel, with the option to "supercharge" it. Supercharging your schnitzel is basically turning it into a pizza-like topping on top; extra sauce, extra ingredients , extra flavour. A supercharged schnitzel will fill you up for sure!
Seating can be an issue at times. They have limited booths around the edge of the venue, and some round bar tables - so my suggestion would be to try come outside of peak timing.
Elliott Brooks - 5 years ago
Such a good deal on Wednesdays, just $5.00 for a tasty burger, and for extra $3.00 u also get chips... worth the visit.
Ernesto Foodie - 4 years ago
We went there bc we wanted to have burgers for dinner. The burgers were okay but nothing special. Also the atmosphere is not really nice too have dinner. It is very noisy and not cozy at all. It is a sportsbar and nothing more. The best thing was the cookie as a dessert. But you should know that I brought it with me fortunately 😄

We recently tried the spicy chicken chili rice bowl and the teriyaki chicken rice bowl. Personally, I found the spicy chicken to be the standout choice, which is showcased in the first photo attached. However, I must mention that the portion sizes were a bit disappointing considering the nearly $20 price tag per bowl. Flavorful, yet left us wanting more😋

Surprisingly good!! 👍🏻👍🏻 We had Teriyaki Noodles Salmon, Signature Spicy Chilli Chicken and Chicken Karage. Free Miso Soup for the Rice bowl. Plus we also had Agadeshi tofu.. Will come back for sure!! 😊

Food is great, service is great, portions are good. Price makes sense, plus if you aren't too picky there are cheaper options and specials. The Japanese owners are kind and always greet with smiles. Wish there was a Sukiyaki or Tonkatsu-don though :)

Small tiny Japanese eatery tucked away on Oxford Street. Blink and you'll miss it. Great lunch options and everything is fresh and tasty. Bento boxes offer great variety (chicken karaage yum!), and the chicken sando is delicious! Very limited seating (6) so it's not a place for a big group.
