    What an outstanding experience we had dining at Jazushi last night! We gave it an outstanding rating, and it was absolutely well-deserved. The ambient atmosphere was perfect, and the live jazz music truly elevated the entire evening. It created a wonderful setting for a memorable meal. The food was very delicious, and we honestly loved every dish we had. A few highlights we can't stop thinking about include the incredible Steamed Wagyu Dumplings, the perfectly executed Teriyaki Chicken, and the delightful and unique dessert, the Hoji Tea Ice Mochi. We highly recommend Jazushi for anyone looking for a superb dining experience with great food and a fantastic atmosphere.

    Such a fantastic dinner at Nomu last Friday night. Incredible level of quality in both the cuisine and drinks (very strong cocktail game!). We loved the octopus karaage, the amazing fatty salmon sashimi and the teriyaki salmon done. Everything had a quality edge that took it to a big cut above the average Japanese meal in Sydney, and with very reasonable pricing, too.
