Our last night at Sydney ended with some delicious Japanese fare. Sis and I were eyeing this quaint restaurant when we passed by World Square. The place was packed and had a long waiting queue. They open at 5:30pm, so we came early on a hot Dec31 in Sydney.
The place was small but clean. The servers were dressed in a semi-contrasting uniform, with aprons and folded caps. Out came the menu, almost all items with pictures. That's a good start. The menu had English and Japanese translations, for those who can read one or both. The Sashimi Teishoku immediately caught our attention. I know what Sydney is well-known for it's seafood, being close to the harbour and all. We had pretty good and fresh sashimi during our trip so while this is a bit pricey than the rest, we hope that the quality will be better. We also ordered the Unagi Don, all to share.
Sashimi Teishoku. I admit that it's not one of the best, but it's considered as outstanding and generous. Each type of sashimi has at least 4-5 slices, all prettily arranged in all their shining glory. The best part was there were little treats inside such as the delicately wrapped and marinated glass noodle and the side of cauliflower and beans. Everything was lovely and supple. If I were to come back to Sydney, this is one of the places I'll have to dine in again.
Unagi Don. We've had unagi before and suffice to say, it was well-cooked but not outstanding. The marinade was subtle and not too salty. Overall, a well executed unagi don.
