So good! $35 for all you can eat sushi it's actually insane, we ate so much. I loved the aburi and scallop nigiri. The waiter also recommended his favourite sushi and I cannot remember it's name unfortunately, but had chicken filling and two types of sauces on top - one being cheesy. Definitely get bang for your buck
Dont let the entrance fool you. This is good quality Japanese with proper sushi, excellent tempura and tasty Udon.
This is a delayed blog post. I have a confession to make, I am a regular at Kansai and have been going here for over 10 years. I now work nearby and often frequent Kansai for a quick lunch or dinner. Kansai is a casual Japanese Eatery, located downstairs in the Hunter arcade. I have ordered the Green Tea Noodles with Salmon so many times, it's hard to count. It's absolutely my favourite dish but I opt for something else today. I recommend but I will be reviewing other dishes in this instance.
We came here for the $45 all you can eat deal, and it was very much worth it for your money. The sushi were tasty and the sashimi boats were huge! My favourite was definitely the gyoza, they were large and fried just right. Overall a very good price for a heap of food, and I’ll definitely be back in the future!
This restaurant offers a lot of lunch options from hotpot, sashimi, sushi, donburi, noodles and bento boxes. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bento box and was pleasantly surprised. Overall great place for a quick lunch in the city.
$45 for an all you can eat buffet?? DEAL! Sashimi boat was to die for. Service was nice and quick, surprisingly on a Friday night. Food also came out very quickly.
Great place for lunch in the CBD, located underneath the hunter connection. We had the vegetable udon and the prawn tempura udon and the serving size was reasonable. The service was fast and friendly staff.
The udon was very tasty, with large fresh battered prawns on the side.
The $32 all-you-can-eat buffet deal is fantastic and well worth it. The customer service was very attentive and the sushi, tempura and other dishes were all fantastic.
Will definitely be coming again with bigger groups!
Went with the Bento B box - beef option.
As far as late night Japanese goes, this place is pretty good. The miso is tasty, although a tad on the cold side, but I didn't mind.
The beef is tender and flavoursome.
Service is very quick and efficient.
Excellent value! You obviously aren't going to pay $42 and get premium quality all you can eat sashimi, but overall the food was fresh, tasty Japanese. Very attentive service too and didn't make you feel bad for ordering a lot. Recommended!
I go here when I have an udon craving. For $11.90 you get a large bowl filled with veggies and a generous serving of delicious teriyaki chicken. Whilst I haven't tried anything else, my friend has been here for the all you can eat dinner and thought it was decent. It's not refined Japanese dining but it offers a good meal.
Great "all you can eat" place where you order whatever you want and how much you want from their a la carte menu. Particularly enjoyed the sushi and the seaweed salad.
This Japanese restaurant is located below ground in Hunter Connection close to Wynyard station. This is the best place to stuff yourself with all you can eat Japanese food. Service can be a bit slow at times but if you don't want to be filled up quickly with all the rice, order more sashimi!
One of the better Japanese options available in the Hunter Connection precinct. I had the mixed box ($8.50) with salmon and prawn sashimi and California rolls was well presented with chunky cuts of fish. The wasabi was fresh and there were a generous four soy sauce containers in the container. A good place to grab a fresh sushi lunch at reasonable price
Absolutely love this place. I have worked in the city for 10 years and have been and continue to eat here all the time. Kansai B with chicken for lunch and chicken katsu and udon for dinner

Hearing about their all you can eat offer we came here starving and left very full and satisfied. Kansai's all you can eat offer is by far the most generous and best money for value that i know of to date. Pretty much, you can order anything and everything on their menu as much as you want as many times as you want (providing you can eat it all as management reserves the right to charge extra on excessive food wastage) except their set menu options. The $42pp option is the way to go in my opinion as it includes the hotpot and sushi boat.
We skipped out on the hotpot this time around and went for the sushi boat, various servings of sashimi, nigiri and assorted sushi as well as soba and vegetable udon soup. We also ordered gyoza, yakitori and grilled eel and salmon nigiri. The sashimi was amazing. Both the tuna and salmon were so fresh. The assorted sushi were also really fresh and tasty (everything was made as you order) but the real winner was the sashimi. We ordered so much we were about to pop from all the sashimi and sushi. It was a shame you could only order one sushi boat per table, if able to we would have no doubt ordered much more. The grilled salmon and eel nigiri were also another winner for those who don't like their seafood raw. Gyoza and yakitori were good, vegetable udon and cold soba however were average but given this is an all you can eat sushi buffet, we werent bothered considering how fresh and delicious the sushi and sashimi were. Service is also good. Like i said before everything is made once you order and they bring it to the table for you to enjoy relatively fast. I would say the sushi here is almost as good as that in Japan.
In terms of value for money, Kansai ticks the box. Highly recommended for all those lovers of sushi who just can't get enough.

Nothing but love for this place, service is always warm and friendly, combined with well priced good quality food makes for a winner, enough said peeps
Cheap & cheerful Japanese in the CBD!
I love this place... It's hidden downstairs on Hunter St - right at the entrance to Hunter Connection.
It's always very busy so it's a good idea to either book a table or get there early.
The sashimi is always incredibly fresh and tasty. The salads are massive! Best values for money.
I love the seaweed salad..
The only thing I can fault is that the service can be a little slow and sloppy during peak timeS. Understandable, although can be frustrating. I now get there early to beat the rush 🏃🏽👍
Def hit up this place if you're after a quick and tasty Japanese feast!!
Living in the CBD, Japanese food is absolutely everywhere. However, Kansai has always been the favourite - delivering fresh and tasty Japanese food within a fun, bustling little restaurant in the Hunter Connection. The owner is always so lovely - always going out of his way to fit us in when the restaurant is booked out. One of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Sydney!
All-you-can-eats are always beautiful. This japanese restuarant offers two different options: $29.50 for the entire menu, excluding sashimi and hot pot. OR $39.50 including everything. After some debate, we went for the first option, and oh-boy, did it fill us up! The menu is quite extensive, and there're about 3 pages consisting of sushi rolls and hand rolls and what not, we're spoilt for choice! Sashimi salad. Fried chicken. Sweet chili sauce squid. Gyoza - BEST!!! Sushi platter - tuna, prawn, salmon, cuttlefish Green tea soba noodles! Agedashi tofu. Chicken yakitori Grilled-salmon sushi. Salmon avocado rolls Tempura fried sushi. The food is goooood! All the seafood seemed fresh, and staff were friendly in general! It's carbs-heaven! The rice gets you all bloated afterwards, but it's so worth it, them sushi! Great place for Japanese food in general, although definitely more worth it to eat the all-you-can-eat than to order separately. My stomach will
I would not recommend arriving during peak lunch hours, as it gets epically crowded – try and arrive after 2pm if you can. Arriving before 12:30pm is also suitable, but don’t arrive too early – the restaurant doesn’t actually begin serving until 12pm. I’ve had most of the things at Kansai already – I’ve yet to try the BBQ, but I can get those cravings satisfied elsewhere. Below are a…selection of
We ordered plenty that evening, after reading a few reviews online I knew what I wanted. I was definitely going to order those sushi rolls, yakitori, and grill salmon nigiri.

Four words that will make anyone smile: All. You. Can. Eat. Every year I say that I have outgrown the ignominious lust for outright gluttony. And yet still, there's a delicious little thrill at the prospect of a limitless buffet, as though a personal best
If you've ever read the 50 or so reviews of Kansai on eatability, you'll notice that they're very varied. Many have said that they've had good experiences, many say they've had terrible. Lucky for me, every time we've been here, it's been brilliant even t
For a couple of years now I've been hankering to get down to Kansai and eat myself silly for $28, especially when lately I've been taking lunch upstairs in the Hunter Connection Food Plaza and always walk past the Japanese man statue beckoning me to come
Despite they have a signboard prominently displayed on Hunter Street and also an escalator that leads straight to the restaurant hidden on the lower ground in Hunter Connection, Kansai is one of those places that you probably would have walked past a thou
Birthday dinner. Went here for my birthday dinner, got the $29.95 all you can eat deal.
PRO: fantastic food, everything was yummy, great variety available even without the sashimi. Staff was attentive and nice, food presentation was good, cutlerys and plates were clean. And price is reasonable for an all you can eat.
CON: Staff barely speaks any english and sometimes this became hard to communicate asking for cutlerys and portion sizes. Seating inside is very cramped and stuffy, tables and environment actually feels pretty dirty. The deal without sashimi and hotpot included a big variety BUT they ALL came with a large amount of rice! You couldnt order a plate of meat without a side of rice which was silly because rice fills everyone up very quickly nor could u leave it because they will charge you extra for leftovers.
Overall was a pleasant experience, but not likely to return soon.
Hand rolls were sensational! Agedashi Tofu was to die for. Even the green tea was divine. Our favourite place by far
Tastiest sushi rolls in the business end of town. Rice paper rolls are huge and delicious packed full with meat, chicken or tuna, and cheap as well! They also have cheap large containers of rice with random dishes such as teryaki chicken or salmon for very cheap. I go here a lot!
All you can eat sushi!. Came here with my boyfriend for the dinnertime 29.50 all you can eat sushi. we loved it! extremely good value and we literally ate as much as we could. the quality of the sushi is pretty average, but it's all you can eat so that makes up for it. consistency and service is a little dodgy too - they forgot our order twice and sometimes what you get is a little different to the menu.
overall, definitely recommended if you just want a fun night and to eat lots of sushi!
Highly recommended for all-you-can-eat. At $28 for the all-you-can-eat menu, this is the place to go for sushi and other Japanese food binging. There is quite a large variety of food on the menu and most of the options we had were very tasty. An excellent place to go to when having cravings for Japanese.
I go for the sashimi. Every time I've been here, it's been pleasant even though the food is often inconsistent - in what you actually get, not so much as the quality.
I tend towards the Sashimi Salad- it's one of my favourties which I order everytime. There is a generous amount of salmon, tuna and kingfish . But what makes this stand out is the dressing- it's a special japanese salad dressing which tastes slightly like soy sauce, only much better!
Would I return? Hai
Just had another extraordinary meal here and this time I brought 7 friends! Definitely one of Sydneys hidden Japanese treasures. You MUST go for dinner and with an empty stomach to enjoy the "all you can eat" menu. Beware though this is NOT a buffet! For $28 you get unlimited, freshly made sushi, sashimi, appetizers and anything else you may like from their menu. The food is superbly presented and tasty! Unbelievable quality for the price. Atmosphere is nothing to speak of but at this price who cares? Be sure to make reservations for weeknights, Saturday nights are usually quieter.
Amazing Japanese food. Great location, just three minutes walk to Wynyard Station. Went there 4 years ago with friends. The restaurant provided fresh ingredients and friendly customer service. We ordered 2 plates of Sushi combination. That was very impressing.
Amazing Japanese food. Really yummy gyoza and udon. The customer service is super friendly and they were very hospitable. The food took a good amount if time to be ready and it was fresh and delicious. I love how it was open on a weekday when everything else was closed. Great location too coz it is close to wynard station. I highly recommend.
