    Hey good but not all that …. Portions are very small and really need to spend big if it’s about getting a proper feed. Guys were ok and the overall experience is exactly as rated. Thanks anyways.

    My wife's sister and her family visited us and I wanted to take the two nephews out for a meal before they left. They requested lunch at a Japanese steakhouse. There's plenty of choice in Sydney CBD, which one to pick? Tajima Yakiniku came highly regarded, so I thought we'd try it. I pre-ordered the Lunch Platter Set for Two. At the restaurant I asked the waiter for his recommendation as to what we should order to supplement this. He recommended either seafood + chicken or more beef. The boys wanted more beef. The waiter then recommended Premium Ox Tongue and the Rib Cap Mayura 9+. It was all beautiful and there was a variety of opinions as to what were our second and third favourite cuts - the premium Wagyu Karubi 9+ was a clear first. Pretty much all the cuts received some support. I thought the Rib Cap was particularly tasty. From the Lunch Platter the Wagyu Soup was unexpectedly good. I regret that I didn't get the waiter's name. But he was really helpful and ensured that our visit will be well remembered for all the right reasons. Would I recommend Tajima Yakiniku? Yes!

    Had such an amazing birthday dinner here! The quality of the beef was outstanding — incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The staff were all so warm and friendly, and they even surprised us with a birthday gelato. The black sesame flavour was absolutely delicious! What touched me the most was that the staff all sang a birthday song together for me. It was such a sweet and unexpected moment that made the whole night truly unforgettable. A very memorable birthday experience that genuinely moved me 🥲 Highly recommend this place for both the food and the wonderful hospitality!
