I liked Menya Mappen and this looked similar so I had to try it.

Unfortunately this place is a pale clone, there hot food bar which you pick yourself was not tasty, it was food court food. The cold part, its the first time ever I had frozen potato salad, at least the Ramen wasn't too bad but there regular size seems a little small to me, but its the same in Menya.

Seating, if people didn't know its just not the side part where you exit with your meal, in front of the store there is a few benches.

Service wise as expected, the noodles came out pretty fast so at least those starving can eat right away. Prices are reasonable but everything is smaller portions.

Overall I won't be back, no frozen potato salad for me!

A new place that looked trendy made me and my friend give this place a go.

There is plenty of seating, we were taken to our seats almost immediately, and when we looked at the menu it looked like there was plenty of items we would like to try.

Upon ordering it took a little while for the food to come out.

The food, specifically the meat was only warm, maybe even mircowaved, not just mine but my 3 other friends. The food was disappointing.

IVe never seen a bento box with chips and wedges in it either. Trying to be inventive obviously! And portion size was big.

Overall not a place I would come back, the place looks good, portion sizes are big but also with restaurants the main reason we come is the food and its failed in this department.

Firstly this is a isolated place,with free parking at night but only street parking around. If there is a event on, your unlikely to find a park close to here

We entered and stood around for at least 10 minutes. There seemed to be only one person who brings someone to there seats and is at the register, which meant, unluckily for me, that a whole bunch of tables were paying at the same time,which meant we stood there while other staff just walked past us. They look like they have plenty of staff but also too rigid that come break there designated role and help us. There was a line building behind us too.

Once seated the service was excellent, polite, the food came out quickly

We tried the ribs and chicken, the chicken had this peri peri mild sauce which was great, the ribs though were burnt and my pork ribs didn't have much meat on it (I know, its ribs!)

Price wise, its not cheap but had no issues using my entertainment book card.

Ambience wise, there interior is nicely decorated, and there is outdoor seating.

Overall I did like the food but didn't like the wait. The ribs didn't have to be that burnt, I'm assuming its better to book ahead, we came a sunday night and it looked quite busy!

Got here around 5.10 pm so there was barely anyone there. I only tried the chicken burger and it was good. Ambience, its nicely decorated inside and its really clean. Service was quick and polite and they came by to ask if we needed anything.

Value, just like one of my workmates, he said its good food but pricey and I agree, he said he won't come back but I will give this place another go but will be weary of the cost.

Tried their signature noodles and this egg roll with fried bread in it and both were good. My partner, though, found the food to be average. Service-wise, the food came out really quick. Value-wise, it's reasonably priced. The only gripe is there were small flies flying around and wouldn't leave us alone. Apart from that, I enjoyed the food here!!

I like its counterpart, which is located closer to Chinatown. The food was nice, fresh but portion sizes are small. Ambiance wise, there is a sushi conveyor belt here and seating outside, and my partner liked the ambiance, the look of the place. Service, nil issues here. Value, a little expensive especially for the portion sizes you get, but its expected, too, due to the location. Its the only one in Darling Harbour area. But if you don't mind a small walk, you can find cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

Came here and tried there seafood platter and it was good. The calamari was the best as it was not chewy and easy to eat, the fish was also a stand out. The non alcoholic drinks were better than expected too.

Service from staff was good and attentive,though the food felt like it took a while to come out.

Ambience wise, your at Darling Harbour, enuff said!

Price wise, its reasonable for what you get and prices you expect to pay in Darling Harbour.

Nil issues using the entertainment book, a place I would recommend eating at!

I'm not too sure what to make of this place, I like the ambience of the place but don't like the seating, its too cushy/feels like I'm sinking a little into the seat cushions.

Food wise its ok, nothing special, the pork satay meat was a little hard and my pad se ew was good but it came in a little pot which I think they may of cooked straight out of, and it felt like the portion size was small.

The food didn't take long to come out but it also took a little while to wave someone down to get me seated, this was a sunday afternoon.

Value wise its reasonably priced, but there is nothing here to make me want to come back. It's not bad food but with the competition around them, you would prefer to go to Chat Thai for example.

When I saw this on timeout magazine I thought what a great place to go! It literally is old train carriages and they done up the inside nicely, feeling like your in a 1960's american cafe dinner. There are seats outside too.

But with all the open air, on a hot day I would find it hard to come with no a/c.

Food wise, I was a little disappointed, especially with the buns they use on there burgers, I don't like it! The chips were nice though.

Price wise a little expensive for what you get. Service wise, it felt like food took a while to come out.

I really can only recommend it for the ambience and its photo worthy-ness, its something different which should be given credit for.

My partner had the salmon piece here and loved it, and I agree too. I like this place better than next door and though the prices are cheap, the reason is because the portion sizes are small. Always crowded but somehow always able to find a seat, service is fast, because it has to be. Highly recommended, a cheap and quick eat.

Been here a few times and I find the portion sizes to be a bit small and the prices a little high. Choices feel limited also but I have to say the sushi train's sushi is fresh. The only sushi train in Campsie but for me rates a little lower than your average sushi train place.
