Review Sushi Boat - North Sydney

Don't order the poke bowl off the menu if you're doing take away. They charge an extra $2.30, justifying it by saying there's more. To me it looked the same portion size as what's already in the self-serve fridge.

Awesome poke bowls. (Unfortunate all the building happening around North Sydney)

Have only grabbed their pre-rolled sushi rolls from the fridge and they have been great! Staff are always friendly, the place looks clean.

you have to try their Sushi and Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Donburi. Their serving is nice and the taste is amazing!!

Great food, love the atmosphere and the service.

Great tasting food with great service !!

Waiting time is too long!!!

Amazing!!!

Sushi with a Korean and Japanese fusion! <br/><br/>Service here is great and staff is accommodating! I've ordered the Rolls Platter (42Pcs) for $45 and it is cooked fresh. I have also ordered the single sushi rolls. The Chicken Katsu was a little dry but the Spicy pork sushi was amazing. <br/><br/>I will come back here and try out their other dishes!<br/> <br/><br/>Update May 2018: the Deluxe Combination Platter is fresh and delicious!

Essentially a Korean sushi place. Didn't try the sushi train, but have tried the takeaway sushi packs & dine in for an udon soup. The Volcano box had a good mix of variety, fresh salmon, grilled salmon with sauces, prawn, tuna & katsu chicken. Quality overall is not bad for takeaway sushi. The dine in udon soup was bit odd. I ordered tempura udon, all of the tempura pieces were put into the soup instead of serving separately, so the batter were all soggy. There was only one small piece of prawn, then the other tempura were a piece of thinly slice, potato, sweet potato & pumpkin each. Not that enjoyable. The service was very prompt though & they do get very busy at lunch.

It's an usual sushi train this one. It has a Korean twist to it. Bulgogi ramen anyone?<br/>I started with miso soup and the salmon sushi - they both missed the mark. Then my challenge (for the first time ever), was watching the train go round and round hoping to find something that wasn't going to be too bad.<br/>Thankfully I found karaage chicken which was actually pretty good. Then they decided to start making Chinese dumplings, yes you heard correct, so I gave them a go. Not too bad but again a bit odd on a sushi train.<br/>All said and done it wasn't too bad, just unexpected and unusual.

I was craving for sushi and decided to give this place a go. I always saw queues at lunch hour that must be a good signs right? Must sushi boxes are around $10, and sushi rolls $3 or $3.5 for brown rice. The selection was definitely not as extensive as Hero Sushi or Sushi Hub. What's lacking in variety was made up for by the decent serving portion and taste. I had California rolls and chicken avocado rolls, both were substantial in fillings and tasted good. There was also a sushi train behind takeaway counter, something to try out next time.

Honestly i have been to Sushi Boat myself during lunchtime and i tried the "Korean Spicy Noodles" too. I really only have three things to say in my review with the first being how the quality of the Korean Spicy Noodles was very enjoyable and the the broth was especially nice. Although i have never tried the sushi it did seem very fresh on the sushi train, and i also loved the enthusiasm that a few staff members were showing. Finally, I cannot stress enough how much i recommend going to this place. AHAHA by the way it seems you were having a bad day Adam i recommend you go again and try the food again and blog some positive and honest reviews. The only negative things i have to mention is that the place does not open for dinner and on the weekends.

Awful. <br/><br/>Very average sushi, cold deep fried moneybags (surely they should at least be warm??), the soy sauce in the Kikkoman branded bottles was heavily sweetened for some reason. <br/><br/>I could have put up with these issues but I decided the sushi wasn't much good and so ordered the "Korean Spicy Noodles" on the menu for $9.80<br/><br/>What was served up I immediately recognised as the instant noodles you get in Asian Supermarkets for $1 - in fact there are a number of brands that describe their flavour as "Korean Spicy" which was no doubt the inspiration for the menu description. <br/><br/>This was "dressed up" by way of a couple of rubbery pieces of broccoli, limp seaweed sheet and half an over boiled / powdery yolk egg. <br/><br/>Surely they wouldn't have the cheek to serve up a packet of instant noodles I thought to myself. So in the interest of fairness I tried one mouthful and instantly recognised the msg powder sachet soup flavour and rubbery instant noodle. It's unmistakable. <br/><br/>I did complain. The manger denied they were instant noodles (without actually fully denying it outright). No offer of a refund. No apology. <br/><br/>All the staff look in this joint like they wished they were somewhere else, which is exactly how I felt during the whole experience. <br/><br/>The owners of Sushi Boat should be ashamed of themselves. The time has passed where you can offer up crap sushi in Sydney. I'll give this place 6 months before they either close it down or revamp the menu / staff and chefs. <br/><br/>Why not just focus on offering great food rather than taking the piss out of your customers?<br/><br/>

Ok no. This place has fraudy sushi rolls.<br/>For $3, a salmon avocado looks delicious, but really they make the rolls so there is one tiny chunk of avo ONLY AT THE TOP on display, and not even salmon all the way. It was half rice. WTF? I've never had such shoddy sushi rolls... ugh. Don't go people.

Sushi Boat is my favourite sushi train in North Sydney.  I like the variety, freshness of the sashimi and pace of the sushi train.  I'm glad they have simplified things and now most plates are just $3.50. My favourites always include the seared salmon sushi roll with naughty cream cheese and avocado. I love the contrast of the seared top and the raw bottom of the salmon dipped in a wasabi dominate soy mixture. I can never resist the seared scallops either! They are juicy, beautifully seared and melt in your mouth.  I love it!  To top off my light lunch, I also choose the plate of Sashimi at $5.80.  It's fresh and delicious.  There's another sushi train across from the station which is very dear and mostly rice filled sushi.  There's one in Greenwood but is jam packed in the food court and I think the quality is not as good as Sushi Boat.  My top Japanese eats in North Sydney are non-sushi trains at  Sakura  and for my favourite Sushi boxes, I go to  Sushia  . Prices : $3.50 per plate,

$3.50 for most dishes on train. This place took over from another Jap place - exactly the same concept. This place does offer a bit more hot food in the takeaway counter at the front.<br/><br/>The menu says the dishes are of various prices but when you look up on the walls, they show all the dishes in various colours and they're all $3.50 except the purple one which is dearer - generally it's sashimi. All the other dishes they ramp down the quantity to fit the cheaper price eg if it's for hot food. Quality was reasonable - they didn't have the egg salad gunkan when I asked so maybe there was in egg shortage in Sydney that day.<br/><br/>Nothing that special here - gyoza and takoyaki looked like the frozen kind. Place is definitely cheaper than the ones in Greenwood.
