First time visitor. 4 of us. It’s second storey with a side street entrance. The decor was great. The vibe was great. We had a booth with heaps of room. Staff were very helpful and knowledgable. Our food (Ramen) was excellent. Some Sake was a top accompaniment too. Definitely recommend here for Japanese

My husband and I eat at Giuls once a week (really)! The food and service are excellent, particularly from the Managers, Ross & Paul. The steak is the best we've ever had in Sydney and the Vodka Pasta, Fish Crudo, Steak Tartare and Tiramisu are all exquisite.

    Fabulous night at Rising Sun Workshop, live jazz band, great ambiance and delicious food. We shared the sashimi, squid salad, chicken yakitori and a light ramen. Squid was so tender, everything was prepared with care and so much flavour. Staff super friendly, on a busy night.

    Booked a group of 20. Advised to pre-order which caused some problems but it proved to be an advantage. 10% group surcharge and “suggested” per person order limit was a little offputting but in the end the food was great, service very good and group had an pleasant experience,
