Sushi trains ...remember when they were a novelty???? I eat sushi at least four times a week ... I am beginning to grow gills. Where are the good ones?? A vexxed question that brings so many opinions.
The City: a few years ago Sushi Tei opened across the road from Chifley Square. They were good for sushi but terrible for warm/cooked dishes. Their noodles still leave a lot to be desired. Their sushi has deteriorated and no fresh wasabi (augh)...but then again they are not run by Japanese. Sad. And to make it worse they now charge for green tea, even though they brought their prices up to OVERPRICED. Down the other end of town a few sprung up. I frequent the one on the corner of Liverpool and Pitt Streets, at World Square. Reasonable, but you have to ask for the fresh wasabi and the ginger and avoid all those mayonnaise plastered nigiri ...something the Americans invented (didn't they also invent chop suey?)
Bondi Junction: two in Spring Street, Sushi Train (Chain store)...full of children and loud and ok but too much mayo again (hold the mayo ...as Jack Nicholson said in Five Easy Pieces) and Sushi Express at the other end, a bit of a secret and INEXPENSIVE. Limited in range but you can ask for whtever delights you. Tea is free, two types of ginger and fresh wasabi.Coogee Beach: Sushi Goi ..ask for a discount frequent train traveller card ... get them to make you a hand roll of tuna or salmon (gigantic).
More to come ....
