Overview of Sushi Tei
Sushi Tei – Where pristine culinary skills and incisive expertise with an innate appreciation of nature come together to inspire and enhance the experience of true Japanese dining.
We have combined the best that the expansive Japanese cuisine has to offer, marrying the intricacies of sashimi to the theatrical flair of teppanyaki with an innate intuition of local tastes to forge an inimitable identity of our own.
Sushi Tei is no ordinaire dining restaurant, notably we believe in providing an ethereal with an alluring ambience more than a dining experience just for you by setting ourselves apart from the norm.
We present an assortment of scrumptious and creatively designed Japanese gastronomy - appealing to the delight of aficionados of Japanese cuisine.
Our menu features Japanese offerings and innovative dishes illustrating the emerging influence of Asia on modern Japanese cuisine. A revolving selection of appetizer, dinner, sushi specials guarantee a new experience with each visit to our restaurant outlets.
You won't return for the service but the consistently good food will keep you coming back. Have been here numerous times for dinner and cannot fault the food. The sashimi and sushi are always really fresh and great quailty. With a menu this size you can always try something new and you won't spend a fortune.
The food here was so bad! The cucumber maki roll fell to bits . The tempura was half soggy, half undercooked. The noodle dish was just gross (and arrived as our friend was going back to work so she had to get it takeaway). The service was appalling. Won't be going back here!
Average, ok food but not too pricey. Service can be improved if the waiters can speak proper english. Dishes quite small, and they didn't have the sashmi I wanted.
I have been to Sushi Tei on many occasions with my gf and each time has been excellent. The food is of great quality and the price is very reasonable. the both of us ate so much and the bill was only $50-60 for the both of us. I always get the eel sushi platter for $13 and it comes with several different types of sushi. Its our usual jap place to eat. I have been to other jap places too in the city but they were very expensive and pretty much the same quality as Sushi Tei. Highly recommended.
Excellent food and atmosphere. Only problem is the time it takes to deliver drinks. Have been here on many occasions for both corporate and personal occasions.
The only dishes worth going for here is the soft shell crab maki rolls, and the eel and egg maki rolls, as well as the tempura squid. Sashimi is well priced, but nothing spectacular. There is a fair bit of variety, but the most disappointing factor to this lace is the level of service, very unattentive, and not hospitable at all. The menus are over sized, to the point where it is an inconvenience and awkward to hold.
My dinner buddy finds this incredibly frustrating. If you want to be served quickly, just order as you sit down. They will charge extra money for anything they can! ie: last time I asked for some lemon slices in my water (they gave me 3) and were about to charge me $1 for it, unbelievable. Of course I had a word with the senior staff, but she was so reluctant to waive it off the bill. Same goes, when they were charging a surcharge on a public holiday but it wasn't actually a public holiday, again, I contested, and got it taken off the bill.
Other times, we have not been so lucky. I would not advise to try altering anything off the menu, ie: cucumber instead of avocado, as they will charge $2 extra for that also. Ridiculous. The only other good thing about this place is that the kitchen is open during a long periods: 1130 am-10:30 pm which is convenient. I only go here when I am desperate now and it is primarily due to the service, and unwillingness to be reasonable about normal requests.
We dined here last Thursday night, as we were looking for a quick bite to eat before a show. The restaurant was packed at 7 pm, but we had no trouble getting a table in a few minutes. The restaurant is broken up into small sections by wooden see-through screens, aiding privacy and making the room feel a bit cosier.
The menu is extensive, and the food comes thick and fast even during busy periods. The sushi and sashimi was expertly prepared, and delicious. We could tell the seafood was extremely fresh. The gyoza were amazing, crisp on the outside, but juicy and tender inside without the usual doughyness.
In terms of disappointments, the two iced teas we ordered (they come in a multitude of interesting flavours) never materialised as the wait staff communicated they were 'running out'. One could assume this meant there was one left, but alas. Also it was very hard to get anyone's attention to order more food or pay the bill. Service was friendly and speedy once we had received their attention however.
Sushi Tei is great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a restaurant before a concert and can only spare 30-45 minutes.
Enjoyed dinner here a few times with my partner and with friends. I've never had a problem with the service, the portions are generous at great value and there's plenty to choose from. The grilled salmon is a favourite of mine. Their sukiyaki is also a great choice.
Food did not taste as fresh and the service was provided by a rude staff. Complaining to senior staff made no difference as was no different. Had only gone with the request of my Korean staff, will never go again.
I was up in Sydney for a week and pretty much ate here every day, both for dinner with friends and as a quick lunch option. The menu is extremely large (a great deal of sushi indeed!) and photos are always great when you're ordering things you've never tried before! I was really impressed, and the dishes were value for money. I'd recommend it for a quick eat-alone option, or they seat large groups of people up the back. The loyalty program is also pretty unique, pity I had to leave Sydney after one week!
