Reasonable priced genuine Japanese food in Crows Nest. Waiting Staffs were polite and friendly. I did not find the portion was small for Japanese cuisine at the price. Tastes were real Japanese food not pretend one. If you do not understand the quality of Sushi, Sashimi, or Japanese food, don't go. Better to go to food court.

It is quite difficult to see how this restaurant has attained its rating to date. The taste is substandard, the portion size is tiny, the waiting time is lengthy. I suppose they have made up the rest with their friendly smile and newly renovated decor.
I must point out the most disappointing part of the evening is in fact the portion size. Despite the food tasted no better than food court mass producted take away lunch box, they only managed to serve up a tiny portion for dishes they have called "Main". I have ordered most of their hot food main dish menu and that tiny portion size is quite consistent. While we did not order any of their nigiri sushi, that portion is also no better.
We finally left the restaurant still feeling hungry and with a bill that is not quite comparable to the level of satisfaction. The ironic part is, I believe even if we did want to order more and spend more to satisfy our hunger, the lack of variety, quality and quantiy make this option close to impossible. If you need to pick a Japanese restaurant in Crows Nest, I will give this one a miss to save yourself some disappointment.

We went there after a big renovation. Food was great as usual. Service was good and it was so clean and good atmosphere. Plus they don't charge much for this great food! We enjoyed so much and go again definitely!

We picked this restaurant on the basis of the reviews provided. Unfortunately however we didn't get a chance to try the food! Having ordered, we waited 45 minutes for a small plate of sashimi to arrive. Twenty minutes later we then watched the rest of our order go to a number of other tables, finally ending up getting eaten by the obliging family next to us! Despite there being plenty of staff and considering the few tables the restaurant has, the organisation was just a shambles. Finally being fed up with the poor service and lack of communication we left hungry and annoyed. Will not be going back.

Good value Japanese in Crows Nest. I always order from the from the specials blackboard and am never disappointed. Small yet cosy with a byo option. Prepare for this place to be packed.

The Sushi is of the best value! Other hot dishes are just average compared to other Japanese restaurants. We went there again last night but it was closed for renovation.

It started off good, however, the whole evening was a let down as they couldn't even serve us rice with our dishes. When asked why the rice is not available the answer after a lot of to and fro was that they haven't even cooked it yet. This to me sounds unreasonable as they had previous knowledge of our order 45 minutes ago and did not act in due diligence.
When we queried further they simply brushed us aside and said that if we wanted to cancel the order we could. This is unpleasant as they did not make any efforts to improve the situation or come up with a solution? To my surprise the senior staff was present and I found it was disappointing that he knew about the situation and did not take the time nor the effort to cater to our concerns and instead continued to make sushi as if its not of his concern.
Bad experience and I will never eat at this restaurant again. For just about any asian, rice is crucial with any dish. Japanese is an asian restaurant. How can something so simple be so wrong? hopeless!

I love this place. Most consistently good Japanese food in Crows Nest. If you're a Karagee fan, you can ask for it - Its not on the menu but they'll make one for you anyway. Now that's service!
Five Years Later:
Whilst I don't get to come here as often as I used to, I probably look forward to a visit to "the fook-meister" more than I do for any other place. 100% genuine. Prices are reasonable, if a little higher than previous years and the kingfish head is still amazing. Fancy it ain't; the real deal it is.

Best value Japanese in Crows Nest, if not Sydney. I couldn't fault this place. Great service, a wide variety of dishes that were all tasty. I was blown away like I was at some more upmarket Japanese restaurants but that doesn't mean it didn't taste yummy! I had a good hearty feast that didn't give me a heart attack when the bill arrived. Highlights were the spinach salad, deluxe sashimi and sushi set and the shiitake and mince.

One of best sushi bar in Sydney especially their tuna sushi, I only go there to eat sushi @ counter with bit of sake, price usually around $30p/p and you get to choose what you want. Will be back again.
