Finally a venue in Dee Why that makes you feel like you are at a beachside holiday resort. Beautiful design, great innovative food, and the most amazing view!. Had the tequila prawn salad with a spiced watermelon margarita sooooo good! my friend got her meal for free as was midweek and buy 1 get 1 free deal was on. They have "endless summer" mural on the wall, along with some other cool artworks and thats exactly how it feels down there, like its always summertime. Def recommend can't wait to go back there.

Went here for Mothers Day, terribly disappointed. Informed staff the Spatchcock was pink and they gave it to me in a container to go. Not even a mention of a voucher or a discount. Poor service. I would think from the reviews that other than that day food and service would be well above standard. I was bitterly disappointed. Your staff let you and your brand down.

The food here is fantastic, though the sizes are small and prices high. While it is more "fine-dining" than most Dee Why Beach restaurants, the prices are still quite high for the portion sizes and the experience. The staff are attentive too, which is good. I strongly recommend the oysters, they are enormous and incredibly tasty.

I have been to a great deal of Thai restaurants in Australia and Thailand. This restaurant is on the top of my list. The cuisine is great, service always friendly and what a surprise, parking only metres away!

Betel leaf parcels are heavenly and I've tried most dishes on the menu. I don't recommend the pad Thai and papaya salad but their curries are the best, any which, you just can't go wrong. I'm there at least once a week!

This is a cute little restaurant with friendly service. I can't say I really enjoyed the food though. Maybe it was the dishes we picked but they were a little salty. The entree was good though, we had pork skewers but I wasn't sold on the rest of it.

First time dining at this restaurant. The pizzas were beautiful, and the atmosphere was quite nice however the service was a bit bland and not very welcoming. Our waiter seemed bored out of his brain, and didn't smile even once! In terms of value prices are a tad high, something I'm sure comes with the location and view.
All in all I will probably go back, hopefully the waiters having a better night.

I have been there for the second time. Pizza and Pasta was good and good value for money. Other mains appeared inconsistent in quality. The veal was nice and tender but the porchini sauce needed salt and pepper. The a kids menu includes juice, pizza or pasta and ice-cream. My kids love it. We'll come back. Service was always friendly.

Great ice cream (very smooth and tasty with lots of flavours), friendly service all in a great location. Scoops could be a little bigger for the price, otherwise all is great!

Have been having dinner in the restaurant and it's ok, however, when order delivery, it arrives late, it's cold and yes when complaining, reply I get is "put it in the microwave, not on! keep away from take aways from this place.

How do I put this. Wow. We just moved in a few doors down and thought we'd check out the local food, as pizzeria's go, this place is the perfect balance of modern classic and gourmet. While waiting for the pizza's we had a chat with Poppy (who cooks them himself) and were sold on his genuine enthusiasm to make the nicest pizza's he can.

It's a family run buisness with the grand kids naming the store. They let everyone know that they aren't a fast food outlet and orders would take time to make and cook. But when they get them out in 20 minutes to 30 minutes, it is really worth the wait (if that's what you call a wait). The crust is not thick or too thin, the fillings are awesome.

We have eaten out in many suburbs of Sydney, but wherever we move we will be sure to come here for pizza. Change Is the spice of life, but we think these pizza's have a spice all on their own!

Thanks Poppy, for making food worth eating out for.

Seachange is always excellent we dine here for brunch or evening meal often, both equally good. The Californian has shrunk in recent times, but is still a full meal, and the tomato salsa topping it has is fantastic. Spanish omelette, Kangaroo warm salad, etc, etc. My favorite place to eat on the beaches.

Went there for Sunday breakfast. Staff attitude was appalling (including the owner). Poor service, coffee cups just dumped on to the table, served in cups still tasting of detergent.

Eggs Benedict was cold, Second diner requested muesli with yoghurt, but received fruit salad instead. Waited an age for service once initial order was taken, and was still charged full price. Do not make the mistake of taking a table here, wait for one to come up next door instead.

Over priced for what you get, the meat was so tough my mum could not eat it and they also got order wrong! It used to be a really good restaurant, I don't know what happened.

Breakfast at the beach for my wife and I, coffees and bacon and eggs. A view, a breeze, a blue sky and the ocean, that is life! Get out, go to breakfast or lunch and enjoy the beauty of Dee Why. The prices are reasonable, just about the same as the rest of the strip.

My original review for this restaurant was highly complimentary, we were really happy with the range of dishes on the sushi train, the atmosphere and most of all, the fantastic value of their Tuesday night all-you-can-eat special offer for $19.50 per person.

However, this first impression has quickly faded. Since returning to this restaurant, the service has slackened, the dishes offered on the train have become increasingly basic, boring and cheaper to make, the special has been limited to between 6-8pm only And the price has gone up to $22 per person, after only 3 weeks!

As more locals have learned of the Tuesday night special, it now takes half an hour to get a seat. Sushi Kenzo should consider hosting this offer on more than one weeknight to spread out the crowds. One night for 2 hours makes for a very squashed and hectic meal with almost no service, as the waitstaff are occupied with directing crowds at the door.

When queuing to pay at the end of our visit, we overheard a couple in front of us telling the cashier that normally they were happy with their visits to Sushi Kenzo, but that this time they were very disappointed (our sentiments also). This was met with a blank face and no apology or helpful response whatsoever.

Also, I hate to report this, but, perhaps, due to overcrowding/rushed service etc, this may have impacted the quality of the food preparation because both my partner and I fell ill.

Sadly, we've been put off returning to what we hoped would be a reliable mid-week option. The price-hike, limitations and disappointing service has really ruined it.

The shop was simple and very clean. They even had free curry leaves for everyone to pick up.

I was looking for somewhere to dine in dee why, and I never ever realized that place was a restaurant. Anyway, I never tried philippines food so I was excited to do so. We came in just the 2 of us, the place was quiet and we ordered prawn and a beef dish, the prawn dish with tomato sauce was actually nice, and the beef with potato dish left a bit to desire, the rice was nice, service could do a lot better, I think the senior staff of the restaurant was there on his own, but he didn't really seemed to care about what was going on, the magazine was more important than his business. Anyway, just average.
