Yuzu pyrmont — Restaurant in Sydney

A delightful surprise!

It was a wet and wild Monday evening. My partner and I were craving Japanese food - goooood Japanese food. We rang our go to restaurant, unfortunately, their kitchen was closed. That was odd, it was only 815pm, then we realised it was a Monday night.

We frantically googled Japanese restaurants in the city - closed, closing soon, open tmr morning, yada yada yada. Our stomachs grumbled, almost as if communicating to each other in stomach language saying 'why are we attached to these fools'.

Suddenly, out of the Google Search results, a knight in sushi armour appeared. Yuza Pyrmont, down the road, and it had great reviews - we had to take a double look. Yep it was legit. We called the restaurant, and they confirmed they were still serving. A big sigh of relief exhaled from the both us. We set our Google Maps, and off we went into the direction of the karage land.

As we opened the door, we were welcomed with a warm smile. We took our seats and was glad to be out of the rain. The menu was simple yet appetizing. They had the regular menu and the specials. We selected a few options from both.

My partner and I love variety. Variety of dishes and variety of flavours. We chose school prawns, yuzu mushrooms, glazed eggplant, rainbow sushi, wagyu beef and yakitori. All dishes were quality and absolutely delicious. My personal favourite were the yuzu mushrooms, my partners was yakitori, which was barbecued to perfection.

The restaurant was warm and cosy, and the service was second to none. It was our anniversary and I think they could tell it was a special night, so they played a bit of Lionel Richie in the background. We couldn't help but sing a long to a few.

We highly recommend this place and defintely would go back. An absolute gem of a Japanese restaurant in a...

The restaurant is quite pretty with a nice outside dining area. Service is pretty good, but the food doesn't seem that authentic unfortunately. Gyozas were deep fried which was unexpected. Unsure if it was just to be able to get them out quicker or if it was Korean style but the fact they were not pan fried was disappointing. The larger sushi serving was mostly salmon which satisfies the Austalian clientele but it would have been good to have tuna. Pricewise it was a bit on the expensive side, for what you get, but is in a more expensive...

I got the 'main menu' but it was a small portion of fish with no rice or anything. The taste was okay, but the fish was a bit overcooked. The price is definitely not worth the food, as it was 26 dollars for my small portion of teriyaki salmon. Trying not to sound like a Karen but you can't call that dish a main meal. Definitely looked decent but there was mould on the chairs and some menus. The Udon is worth it though, and probably...
