I'm not a big fan of Japanese food, but I really loved the way you guys serve real Japanese food here in Sydney. When I tried your food, I felt like I was sitting in a small restaurant in Kyoto and having my warm Udon. I really enjoyed it; you guys just refreshed my memories. Also, when we came in and left, the way you guys said hello and goodbye was really nice, man. Really some great staff and service! Hope to visit again!

Friendly staff and great service. The sushi is SO fresh and tasty!!! Big portion for the price for sushi. Very happy. 10/10 highly recommend 🤩 (The pic I took is after I ate a few pieces)

Perfect place for a rainy day. The food portion was big, and the staff were friendly ! The appetizer we got (naco bite maybe) was really good; it did bring out the aperitif.

Fresh and tasty Japanese food with great energy. The restaurant always feels alive; busy in a good way, full of people enjoying their meals, but still comfortable enough to relax. The dishes are well‑made, flavourful, and served beautifully. Staff are friendly and quick, and the whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe. A great spot in Parramatta if you want good Japanese food and a lively atmosphere.

Ginza Izakaya, Parramatta Review on 28/12/2025 “When Parramatta takes a holiday, we eat.” Parramatta was suspiciously quiet — like everyone collectively decided to stay at the beach, avoid the trains, or hide from the cost‑of‑living. Whatever the reason, we weren’t complaining. For once, finding parking did not feel like an Olympic sport. Booked a table for six adults and two kids with zero drama. No queues. No elbows. No “your table will be ready in 45 minutes”. Bliss. Inside, it is modern, comfy, and absolutely not the place where we kneel on the floor and lose circulation in both legs. No tatami mats. No cushions. No regrets. Music? Not Enka. Not J‑pop. Just Western hits — because nothing says “Japan” like Hikaru Utada gently serenading. The menu is A4 paper. English only. No plastic food models to point at. No illuminated signs shouting at us. Just words. We actually have to read. Agedashi Tofu — crispy outside, silky inside, floating in dashi like a spa day for tofu. Shiitake added a chewy cameo appearance. Takoyaki Balls — hot, creamy, octopus‑filled spheres. Topped with mayo. Enjoy while we can, because life is short. The octopus has forewarned us! Karaage Chicken Donburi — double‑coated, deep‑fried, and crunchier than KFC on its best day. Comes with rice and pickles to remind me it is still technically a balanced Asian meal. Katsu Chicken Baby Sushi Roll — adorable, tiny, and perfect for children. Adults will need… several serves. Soft Shell Crab Salad — more shell than crab, but the crunch was addictive. The claws were so "skinny" I could crush them with two fingers. Cute, but not exactly a treasure hunt. Wagyu Beef Donburi — tender, marbled slices lounging on rice with a sunny-side up egg. Possibly some shiitake hiding in there too. Delicious either way. The Assorted Sashimi arrived on dry ice like it was auditioning for a magic show. Fog everywhere. Dramatic. Instagram‑ready. Slightly gimmicky. Fish was fresh though — dipped in soy, it disappeared fast. Both Seafood Ramen and Chashu Ramen came with rich broth and half a duck egg boasting a yolk so orange red it could glow in the dark. Noodles were soft, comforting, and unapologetically non‑al‑dente. Seafood version: mussels, prawns and even soft shell crab. Chashu version: melt‑in‑your‑mouth pork belly. Both: slurp‑worthy. The vibe may not scream “traditional Japan”, but the food absolutely does. Relaxed, tasty, and a great night out — especially when Parramatta decides to take the evening off.
