    Ordered A La Carte. The quality of the meat, we were impressed. Service, on the other hand, was disgraceful, especially for the amount that they are charging. I can see they treated us slightly better than the BBQ buffet customers, but there shouldn't be any difference in service. They also treat Japanese customers better too, so service wise, we were utterly disappointed. There are many good quality Japanese BBQ place with better service and value, so I won't hurry back here.

    Sizzling lighted seared wagyu together with rice. It does not get better than that. End with some green tea ice cream and red azuki beans. Enjoy this place with that special someone or even with some close friends. The pricing means that this is a every now and then place to go, but it will be a memorable one. I normally book online as I get credits for a free meal. Don't forget to call on arrival for free parking at the local parking station.

    We've been to this restaurant many over the years. Been there recently to try the all you can eat buffet. You go to this place for one reason only. Juicy fatty marbled Beef. It is expensive but if you are craving good beef and don't mind doing the cooking yourself this is the place to go.

    The buffet during the week days can be of reasonable value if everyone in the dining party have a healthy appetite. Their salads and other dishes are delicious, too.

    The waiting staff are generally polite and efficient, but there can be difficulties getting their attention when the place is busy. The ventilation of this place varies, there were occasions that we'll come out smelling like barbecue meat, other times it'll be fine.

    So I guess don't wear clothes that are dry-clean only to this restaurant just to be safe.

    Sukiyaki style wagyu beef with rice is my absolute favourite. $15.80 and it is amazzzinnnggg! I love this place, started becoming a friday lunch time regular just for the beef. Had the teriyaki chicken, and the teriyaki salmon as well, both excellent. gyozo is awesome too. Definitely try it!

    I love this place. It had always been my favourite. I agree with the below comment on the price. However, I am a beef lover. High recommend for Salmon Advocado Salad! If you don't want spend too much, please order more rice.

    A great choice for a North Sydney lunch, maybe my new favourite lunch restaurant in the area. Forget everything on the menu (I didn't even get to see it, but went with someone who knew what to order, and he just ordered it for me). So, ask for the premium bbq box which has wagyu beef, eye fillet, seafood as well as awesome appetisers which include miso soup, fabulous sashimi and a pacific oyster.

    You cook it all yourself (which is dead easy and really fun), wash it down with a few Kirins, and you have yourself a perfect meal. The premium BBQ boxes are $36 each which is not bad considering the quantum of food and the location. Service is 'efficient'. I love the little service button on the table. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back.

    First dining experience at Rengaya was a mid-week business lunch, the setting felt like I was walking back into an expensive restaurant in the 90's, which hadn't been updated to this millennium.

    The service was polite but stilted, the food and drinks came out promptly, the presentation was acceptable, and the food quality was good – although not memorable.

    I would not be surprised if you were a regular, then the service would improve dramatically, as would the meal selection as you worked your way through the menu items which were clunkers and found the gems which undoubtedly exist.

    After eating a great meal here a few years we went on thursday night to celebrate a birthday. We were after sukiyaki but there was nothing about this on the menu. We decided on shabu shabu which is similar. We ordered 2 sashimi platters and salad to start followed by the shabu shabu, however, the shabu shabu was only shabu shabu style meat not the dish. We complained and said we wanted something along the lines of sukiyaki which they then brought out a separate menu for sukiyaki!

    Why we weren't given this to start with they couldn't quite tell us. Anyway, we ended getting 4 serves (there were 6 of us) of sukiyaki ($70 per person) which was enough for 6. The food was very average and very overpriced. Sashimi was not great and expensive compared to other Japanese restaurants I have been to. Sukiyaki is a very cheap dish to make and to charge $70 per person is outrageous.
    1 scoop of icecream for $9! Per person it ended up costing about $80 each.

    Will never be going back here again. Very disappointed.
