The Sushi Counter
The Sushi Counter is an appropriate name for this restaurant, as you can watch the chefs slicing and dicing the seafood before your eyes at the counter. Whilst this restaurant is known for serving sushi and sashimi, it also offers authentic Japanese cuisine. As a bonus, there are vegetarian options for the meat free lovers. Why not try the green tea ice cream for dessert? You are in for a treat, with some diners comparing it to sushi bars in Japan itself.

I have been eating at this wonderful restaurant for over 5 years, everytime I visit the service and food is always superb, the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure I have enjoyed my time with them. I eat here on average 2 times a week, and the price is more than acceptable compared to other japanese in Crows Nest.
Reading my fellow True Locals I am not sure that we are even talking about the same place. Food is actually above average, but way above average.
My issue is the fact so is the price. I mean there is so much choice within 20ms down the road and 20ms up to the Pacific Highway. By choice I mean equally as good Japanese places at like half the price.
For this kind of Shashimi I want to know grade of the salmon and fish. This place isn't terrible or not worth it in isolation. But in a sea of choice, it drowns and should sink to the bottom like a bad King Fish.
Service is fine and wasn't too busy so didn't need a booking! If this place was in isolation it could get away with it, but it's not.
While the sushi is not always fresh, it is good value for money for the most part. The cooked dishes are very small for the price, and the service could be better. We were left waiting over 20 minutes after ordering our meal, and the staff were abrupt, bordering on being rude. If the food was fresher, it would be more worth the price.
