Finally tried this place this evening after driving past a few hundred times, thoroughly impressed!

Service was slick and very friendly, we were unable to see the specials board from where we were sitting so our waiter took a photo on his iPad and brought it over to us. I also liked the way he secretly 'delivered' me some cutlery after noticing I was having issues with my chopsticks. It was like he read my mind!

For entrees we had the dim sums and duck pancakes, for mains we had the duck curry and the bubble and squid. Dessert was the vanilla fried ice cream. The flavours were sensational and the servings were more than adequate (we never did make it to the movies afterwards - so full!)

The decor is funky and fresh without being pretentious. This is my new favourite place in Chatswood.

I have eaten here twice so far: once for my birthday with a group of about 15 and once with my wife.

Birthday: Service was fast and attentive (despite our raucous and moderately intoxicated group). Due to the size we were required to order from the banquet options but all of the dishes were great and there was food left over.

My wife and I: Food was equally tasty and generously served, however, waitstaff were a little vague and hard-to-get-hold-of. Admittedly it was a fairly busy night. If you have never eaten Nepalese, think 'Indian' but less spicy and way more tasty. Recommended!

As previously stated, this place is a training college however don't be too concerned as the students are all very closely supervised by an experienced waiter. If you are the snobbish type, don't bother as the students are still training but I think this is part of the experience. Decor is nice, food is tasty and great value for money.

This place is great if you are after a quick and easy meal. Very reasonably priced and the take away service is super-fast . If only they did home delivery!

Food  10      Ambience  6      Service  9      Value  10     


This place is always busy so be sure to book a week in advance. If you can't get a table, the counter is just as good as you get to watch the old-school Japanese guys work their magic in the kitchen.

We have eaten here quite a few times and each time we have been impressed. The dishes are all tasty and very reasonably priced. Service is friendly and super-fast. Decor is a bit on the dodgy side however this is far outweighed by the food and the service.

P.S. If you are a big eater: try the teriyaki beef!

Wait staff were attentive and friendly and the decor is modern and clean. My wife and I shared an entree of salt and pepper squid which was delicious. Mains were tasty but small. We were looking forward to the deep fried ice cream however they were (apparently) all out! Ah well, there's always next time.

My wife and I have eaten here around 5 times now - each time we have left happy. The pizzas are some of the best you will find in Sydney. The service is excellent (the young wait staff are industrious and courteous) and the prices are fantastic. P.S. Try the 'No Name' and the 'Meaty Boy'!

Dishes are really well presented, great variety of flavours, trendy decor, friendly and helpful wait staff. My only gripe was the actual serving size. I left feeling hungry (I do eat a lot though so maybe this won't be a problem for others).
