Good location but average food for the price for it. Tried lunch specials bento box last friday and the quality of the food was alright considering the expensive price.

Ate there yesterday because Masuya was full, now I have the runs, I'm sure it's from bad sushi.

From where we sat at the bar we could see the "kitchen staff" manhandling the nori-rolls with all the delicacy of a novice bricklayer, adding pre-sliced fish which was wrapped up in Cling Wrap, cutting the roll up and then peeling off the strips of wrap, no doubt a few still make it to the plate. Unfortunately, by the time we saw this I'd already eaten some.

The rice (including plain in the bowl) didn't have the taste or consistency of Japanese rice, maybe the wrong kind or poorly cooked, and I suspect the vinegar was also either lacking or insufficient in the sushi-rice. The tomato in the salad was off (seriously, how do you mess up a salad consisting of lettuce and tomato?!).

I think the only reason this place was so full was because everything else was booked out for Xmas lunches! Don't go near this place!

I've been to Sushi Tei Chifley many times over the years and each experience is consistently good.

I dined there last week, my friend and I ordered too much food for two (as usual), my favs were the creamy scallops, sashimi platter (3 of each fish) and the seaweed salad. The creamy chicken pasta was a bit bland but the chicken was nice, crispy and freshly cooked.

Plum wine was nice too, service was good as usual. Good food, value for money, great for groups.

Love Sushi Tei, great place to get together with friends in a booth to enjoy and share great food and conversation. Service is a little on the slow and non-english speaking side, but the food and value makes up for it.

I was thinking whether I should write a bad review on such a popular lunch time restaurant in CBD.

Sushi Tei - I have given you many tries whether it is on the sushi bar and ordering a la carte from the menu, they were all disappointing experience.

The sushi platter we had ($26) was no way of a true representation of fresh produce from a Japanese restaurant point of view, same goes with the 6 Nigiri Sushi plate that came with the Bento Box. The sashimi was discoloured as it was soaked/washed in water or stored in the fridge for far too long, it has already lost its texture, flavour and in fact it was falling apart.

The rice ball does not have a good balance of vinegar and flavour either, it was so cold that it was definitely pre-made and have been stored in the fridge before serving.

All you have to do is to go to some other restaurants/sushi bars or even small eateries in Crows Nest and Neutral Bay, these places will almost certain be a better option than Sushi Tei. They have breached the fundamental rule that Sashimi needs to be served "fresh" otherwise, it causes heath risk.

If you must, the A la Carte/cooked food is acceptable but I wouldn't crave for it either. The ironic thing is that their a la carte seems to be a cheaper option than sushi/sashimi where they charge a premium price for but lacks the quality that should be served with it.

Sushi Tei has always been great for lunch in the past, but recently the service has gone downhill. The wait staff regularly forget to bring dishes (even after a reminder) and some cooked dishes arrive cold. The food is good but the service needs an upgrade please!

Visited from the US. Never had such bad sushi in my life! We tried sashimi, the rolls, and even chicken yakatori -- all disgusting. Might be cheap, but you're not even getting your money's worth.

I went for an early dinner on NYE with 3 very noisy kids and they Loved it. The booths are private so the kids didn't bother anyone and the food was excellent as far as CBD Japanese goes. The staff very polite and did not hassle us. Will definitely go again, maybe without the kids next time!

I went when it had 50% off and 25% off. Its worth it most of course when its half price but I would still go there with 25% off. However, despite the food being up to standards, the full price of the dish isn't worth it in my opinion. Service is polite, the atmosphere isn't bad. Its busy but not loud and obnoxious. I'd go there again if I spot some special deal!
