Tokyo Loco Bowl — Restaurant in Sydney

My wife and I stopped in for meal at 7.00pm on Sunday night. The restaurant was busy with takeaways, not too many sitting at tables. Tables are long share tables. The meals are a good price for a decent amount of food, pay on ordering and the meals are served to your table. As the décor is minimalist, most people just eat and leave, as we did. My wife thought that 7.00pm is a bit late to eat a sizeable meal, so she just wanted the Agedashi Tofu ($9.50) and I needed more and ordered the Teriyaki Salmon, salad and rice plate ($18.50). The tofu was served in a soup and easy to eat, my wife enjoyed the meal. I thought the 3 small portions of salmon weren't adequate but they tasted nice, the crispy salad was plentiful and the teriyaki sauce had saturated the rice, I really enjoyed that. The meal was served and delivered to the table quickly, still hot. A speedy meal here provides reasonable sustenance....

My previous rating of this restaurant was 5* however I’m not sure what has changed but the service has REALLY gone downhill. I can forgive places for mucking up orders if they resolve it and take ownership.

I’ve spent $100’s of dollars in here over the years. And recommended it to a number of other people in the neighbourhood. Cheap food done well. But service is everything. Do yourself a favour and go to Zambrero next door and avoid the risk. Or go to any of the other great Japanese options on...

I dropped by this friendly looking place for a quick lunch, not knowing what to expect. The place was quiet and there were only two staff serving at the counter and in the kitchen. The food, however, was prepared surprisingly fast and the quality was better than what I expected. I order a bowl of salmon rice and although I am in no position to decide how "local" it is, my taste buds were happy with the mix of it all (rice, salmon, vegetables and sauces), not to mention the healthiness. A Thank-You for departing customers was a nice gesture and very Japanese. Recommended if you are in the area and feel like trying...
