Just like the "Japanese Resturants In Melbourne?" thread, what are people's recommendations for Jap restaurants in Sydney?

I'm looking for nothing too expensive.

I've had Sushi-Ya in Chatswood/Artarmon.

Rengaya

The one on York Street opp QVB (next to adult book store)

Totoya in Neutral Bay

Thanks Stan

The "Some small one in Chatswood past Crystal Car wash on the corner" is Sushi-Ya

Makoto is more a sushi-train. I'm looking for more restaurant type joints.

And Tetsuya is abit too expensive (not to mention excessive waiting time for bookings).

I'll check out the others.

The one on York Street opp QVB (next to adult book store)

Totoya in Neutral Bay

Musuya

These three would be more your liking then.

If I had to choose I'd go for Musuya; it's more a little bit less "traditional" but the food is top-notch and great value. Be sure to book and bring a map or else you'll walk right past it and won't even know it was there.

Do you mean Masuya stan?

I couldn't find anything for Musuya

That being said, this Masuya place looks nice and reasonably priced.

Thanks once again for the help :happy:

the musashi 1 is better imo. atleast 4 wagyu beef

My top places are:

Sushi Suma - Cleavland St Surry Hills

Book ahead for this place because you'll know it from 3 blocks away by the queue waiting to get in every single night of the week. If you book ahead you wont necessarily get a table first but you go to the front of the line. The meals are cheap and large and the ingredients are fresh which are the main points I look for in a sushi place. Seating is tight and cramped but authentic Jap really.

$30 - $45 for two people is a huge feed here.

Masuya - O'connel St City

Classy Jap restaurant without being overly expensive you've probably all been here. The best thing on the menu is the sashimi boat which I can finish myself but really could feed 4 with assorted other things. They take bookings in two sessions. Early starts 6pm ish and you must be OUT by 8.15pm. Late starts 8.30pm and goes all night so book the late session if you want to tackle a few Sapporo cans with your giant sashimi boat.

Deserts here are awesome and somehow I once managed to get one of each on the house. Worth saving room for if you're into macha ice cream.

oh yeah and the specialty is Shabu-Shabu if you're into that.

Tetsuya-san is Japanese yes but it's not technically a Japanese resteraunt. I would rule this out of the thread. Especially since to book a table today you'd be looking at Feb - March dinner........

Another vote for Sushi Suma - Cleavland St Surry Hills, (right near the BP petrol station)

As Sewid said, LARGE meals, awesome value, and very tasty Teriyaki chicken. The Teriyaki and sushi combo is good pick, its around $14 and a big meal for one person.

Also true is that it is always packed. Im walking distance so its not so bad to turn up there and find a massive queue but booking is a good idea. Ive only ever been to have lunch there, ill try dinner soon!

Sewid, sounds like Masuya is my type of place, im excited to go check it out soon!

Kyushu in Neutral Bay - Affordable, fresh food and delicious. They're always busy so book ahead. They have the best teriyaki squid.

Tsukasa in Surry Hills

Juju's in Darlinghurst - Japanese Saloon-like atmosphere where you can hit the piss, eat good food then sing some karaoke!

Kai on King - King st Newtown. One of the best sushi bars I've been too in Sydney. Always fresh, excellent prices. Plus they had a stunning waitress there last yr :(

If you don't mind not so traditional types of Japanese food I would say Musashi near Capitol Theater is a good start or there's this new place in Sussex st (walk down from Liverpool st its on the right hand side) called Takeru. Both of those places have pretty good foods and quite affordable. At any night expect to stand in the queue for at least around 20 to 30 minutes though. Oh yeah there's also one more place on top of Oporto opposite Entertainment Centre which specialised in ramens but also other normal meals.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
