Stumbled across this cute japanese restaurant when looking for dinner on a Thursday night. They were quite busy so we sat up against the bar window which we didn't mind too much. I ordered two cocktails, soft shell crab, katsu curry and the volcano roll. My favourite would be the roll, the salmon was definitely fresh and all the flavours really worked well together. The katsu curry was nice but I felt it could've benefited with abit more sauce (curry) as there was alot of rice! Dinner was about $75 inc drinks
In love with this place - Their meals are vibrant and so so many options. Portions are nicely big and filling! Definitely an amazing Japanese place in Parramatta to try out
Delicious Japanese restaurant on a new strip of restaurants. Umaya offers dishes that come out in very little wait time, we had the edamame, ocean sashimi plate (very fresh), gyozas (soupy like a xiao long bao), wagyu tataki (very salty), seared salmon roll (quite nice). We also had the chicken karagee which was very juicy and tender.
One of my favourite local restaurants and so lucky I do not have to travel far to enjoy a great Japanese meal. Great staff and ambience in the restaurant. A few of the favourites - curry katsu don, beef tataki, takoyaki, gyoza and the sushi is fresh and perfectly presented. I keep coming back and will do so to try the other dishes on the menu.
Consistently awesome karaage curry udon! Service has always been friendly and the decor is very new and pleasant. Besides that karaage curry udon, the sushi has been a consistently high quality too.
Great service and food, reasonably priced, nice decor. The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and was gave an honest recommendation about how much food we needed.
We visited in a Saturday evening, without a reservation, when the restaurant was quite full. service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is very pleasant and modern, but with traditional roots, against a concrete walled background.
The menu is varied while covering the popular Japanese dishes. We had three shared plates and a salmon teriyaki set between us. All very good quality. Parramatta needs a traditional Japanese restaurant with good quality service in a nice atmosphere. $50 without drinks is reasonable for this quality and service.
New izakaya menu is just brilliant and friendly pricing. I will never get tired of eating here every day. Salmon poke is the best. Grilled Scallop is melting in mouth. What else can surprise me more!
Been to this place twice now and enjoyed their authentic Japanese teishoku cuisine. Having waited sometime for proper Japanese restaurant (other than sushi!!) in Parramatta this place is a welcome addition to the area. Might not be for everyone who likes large portion meals with lots of herbs and spices. Could do better with the rice but overall more than satisfactory~! Really friendly staff who genuinely wants their customers to enjoy. My recommendation for the kitchen is to remove menus like Wagyu Tataki and stick to what you guys are good at~~!!
The dish was good, tasted very close to Japan island. The environment was excellent, like the feeling the of 1st floor and 2nd floor has completely different style. Friendly staff.
I've been here for more than twice and our experiences are satisfied. The place is very well decorated and the staffs are always smiling(serve the water with the menu). The well cooked food come with traditional Japanese saucer and container. The wagyu beef hot pot with udon is second to none.
It was an amazing place for eating Japanese food in Parramatta. I ordered chicken namban (lunch special menu $12.80) for my quick lunch. Even it was a bit busy, food came quickly and wait staff were really friendly, they always explain some Japanese side dishes and how to eat as well :) It was really great experience in Parramatta and I'm really happy to have this new style Japanese food in Parramatta. Definitely I will go back again and want to try the next weekly lunch special:)
I love Japanese food! The restaurant is located in V by crown. I had the most authentic Katsu don there. My friend tried Katsu Curry teishoku, and it was also amazing! The curry sauce should be homemade, not those paste brought from the supermarket. The side dishes were well-prepared. The friendly Japanese staff made me remember those old days in Japan. Nice place! Will come again.
Went here for dinner. The menu has a small range focusing on rice dishes and some entrees.
I had the eel box. It was quite small for the $26 price tag but comes with tasty sides. It also comes with some extra toppings to add to the eel rice. Also sencha tea (I believe ) was included to be added with the rice.
The eel was hot and juicy and not that fishy.
Decent overall but does not rank well with other great teishoku places in Sydney. But overall a nice atmosphere, good service, well furnished Japanese restaurant with decent food.
Decent comfort bento style food. Service was good during Friday lunch hour, didn't have to wait too long for food. Food ranges from $16 and up. If you're looking for a cheap $10 lunch, this is not the place to go to.
