My favourite Japanese restaurant in Neutral bay. They’re definitely a hidden gem - a lot of people go to izakaya samurai their sister restaurant but the flavours at Tamageta-ya are so much better (And a little cheaper too - what a bonus!) If you are a fan of eggplant come and try the agedeshi eggplant and eggplant dengaku. There is more effort put into making these dishes and the flavours just work so well together. Customer service is also great here.

Came here esp for their grilled sanma fish, so was wee disappointed when told it was not avail for lunch. Was gonna walk out when the wait staff quickly enquired the kitchen and she said the chef would grill it for me😃. How about that for service eh?

Ordered a few of their entrees (see pics on my dineline), they were nothing to shout about. Apparently they have happy hours during weekdays.

Same boss as sushi samurai next door which believe you me, has the exact same address on zom zom.

Delightful little Japanese restaurant with a calm atmosphere, friendly & prompt service. Had the unagi (eel) with black rice set and eggplant (entree). Large generous portion sizes and delicious food. Pork katsu was tasty as well.

Was there with friends fire dinner last week. The service was really great. We had agidashi eggplant, if was crispy and the broth so tasty. For mains we had their famous katsu curry which was good but nothing to rave about. We also had sakes.. Dassai 50 was my face. For dessert so try the caramel miso cake...
Great place, will come aviation

Tamagetaya is such a cosey place, it really makes you feel welcomed. Chef Yoshi is so kind to his customers he really makes you want to go back just to see him! Especially good for their lunch time specials, the wagyu rice bowl is delicious, served with miso soup for only $7! Super close to public transport and only 20 minutes from the city, this is a great weekend spot to visit.

Sister restaurant to Sushi Samurai and they change the menu every 6 or so months, sometimes for the better sometimes not. Consistently delivers a tasty, cheap meal so can't really complain.

9PM Friday night passing through Neutral Bay decided to have Japanese dinner.  After attempting two Japanese restaurants which were both closing at that hour I stumbled across to Tamageta-ya. Tamageta-ya in Japanese means Surprise! And surprisingly I met the owner of the restaurant Ari whom I knew from 20 years ago from the Sushi Train in Oxford Street when it was first opened.  Now Ari owns a few Japanese restaurants in Sydney including this one.
I was in a mood for something refreshing and Ari recommended few dishes for me. To start, I had a glass of Sake ($9) from the menu, which was really clean and great quality.  For dinner I ordered a Clam Miso soup, Sea urchin sashimi, Tofu salad, flounder nigiri and raw octopus salad.  Clam Miso soup was very homely and tasty. I loved sea urchin sashimi. He mentioned the sea urchin arrived from Tasmania this morning and its very fresh. And I have to say this was my first time eating the raw sea urchin and now I am totally hooked!! – Tofu salad serving was massive; I think the dish is designed to share between a few people. Flounder nigiri was interesting, it was fresh but has sort of chewy texture, I can’t say I loved it, I think I prefer my flounders fried :-) Lastly I had raw Octopus salad, this dish doesn’t look very appetizing but it was very refreshing dish with good chewy texture.
All on all, surprisingly unique and great dishes I had here tonight. Will definitely be back!

Haven't been here for a while but good to see that it's still decent.
Had takayaki, katsu curry and plain udon.
Cheap, no nonsense Japanese food.

Sushi Samurai's cheap little sibling restaurant. Fairly standard dishes. Cheap and tasty. Haven't been here for a while but good to see that it's still decent.

Tamageta-ya has a lovely variety of dishes and it’s decor and small interior is cosy and traditional, if the larger and flashier Sushi Samurai restaurants are not quite your thing. Dishes are very reasonably priced, especially with the set meal deals available during lunch time. With its good quality, authentic Japanese cuisine, I’ll be sure to keep this place in mind when I next return to the Neutral Bay area.

I frequent Tamagetaya with a friend who lives down the street and I have to say, not only is the place adorable, traditional and steamy warm but the food is amazing as well! I'm not sure what they put in their miso soup but it is to die for. The staff always goes up and above to make sure you have a good experience and will even teach you some Japanese words :) I've had the hot pot (big enough to share!), the bentos and love the sushi. One of my favourite things they do is the Saki tasting, if you aren't sure if you like sweet or dry saki - check it out! They have live music out back sometimes which creates a chill out atmosphere.

Great Japanese food with happy helpful service. Took a family member who'd never had Japanese before and he loved it. Cosy friendly and good value.

Authentic Japanese restaurant with good price, quality and service. Our family have been regulars for many years. It's a pity that they are closing down end of this month.....
