I always thought that Japan City was a gift shop. Really, I did. I used to walk by the one at the Westfield's in Hornsby and stare at amazement at the utterly cute things in the window. Well, little did I know that it also had a sushi bar! Would the food be as adorable as the random gifts?
Well they were. The sushi was dainty and a comfortable mouthful, and packed full of flavour. The seafood was fresh and well balanced, and the service was polite and attentive. There wasn't table service, but they were lovely and polite in seating the group before informing us that we need to order at the counter, and the food will be brought out to us.
We also ordered some gyoza and Japanese marinated eggplant, which were also quite delish. The food came out all at once, which was nice especially we were sharing, and the interior had a lovely bright atmosphere, filled with beautiful Japanese goodies.
In all, a pleasant experience, and one that I wouldn't mind repeating again. I also loved the extra perk - they provided free wifi and let us sit and chat for as long as we wanted without trying to reclaim the table for other customers. Lovely, fresh and light.
