Ginza Izakaya Parramatta

Definitely an amazing place to come and eat. The food is top notch. The flavours are just wonderful. Portion sizes are very reasonable to the prices. Th prices in general are very fair. Today we ordered the kingfish, the tuna, the wagyu beef, the scallops, the salmon, and the large sushimi. The Kingfish: Beautiful cut of fish, marinated with chilli and lemon, just an amazing looking dish that is also very delicious. The only thing I would have liked is maybe some creme fresh or mayonnaise to just give it a little more creaminess and cut the high acidity. In saying this an amazing palate cleanser and opening dish to the meal. The Tuna tartar: Could not fault this dish, the tuna was just perfect and soft and had no sinew. The flavours were just on point and e erything worked well together. However very import that it's easten straight away as, if you leave it the flavours seem to become too intense and it doesn't taste nice. The Salmon carpparccio. So soft and delicious, visually appealing and tastes wonderful. The only thing g I didn't like about it was the lemon bits that were added while so visually appealing the flavour overtook the beautiful Salmon. Maybe use some finger lime pearls or even the lemon pearls themselves so it doesn't take over the flavour. The Wagyu tartar Omg the flavour was definitely my favourite! The taste of that fried riddiccio with he beef along with the sauce and the other things added was just to die for! My only criticism is the cut of meat used. The amount of Sinew that we had to spit out was huge considering there was hardly any meat. But even in saying that it was so yummy! The Butter scallops. I definitely thought this one would be the best and was the most awaited dish. It came out looking just Royal, but unfortunately the taste wasn't reciprocal of the look. It wasn't bad but I personally wouldn't order it again. The flavour balance was just not there, it's hard to say what didn't work, but over all it just wasn't what I thought it would be. The sashimi platter. Now this was just gorgeous! It came out like a bride ready for her wedding day, dry ice fog, with a lot of beautiful produce laid to rest on different things like pandas leaves, lettuce leaves, little bamboo beds, and grated reddish all sitting on a bed of ice. The produce was amazing. Salmon, snapper, octopus, kingfish, tuna, oysters, and scallops. After the platter came we were told that there is no prawns today. We weren't told if there was a substitution or more of something else etc. The freshness was amazing, the visual impact was also just amazing. The only letdown was that the scallops were presented with lemon wedges in between them, and unfortunately that took away from the beautiful sweetness of the natural sushi scallops and that actually cured the scallops. Over all a great experience, beautiful food, good service and great atmosphere. Our server was Assa (hopefully spelt correctly)

I loved the food here. I ordered endamame, prawns and chicken avo sushi roles and wow! Taste and quality of all the items were as authentic as one can imagine. Overall service in terms of food delivery and the attendant was also amazing. I whole heartedly recommend this restaurant if you are on a lookout for an authentic Japanese eatery in and around parramatta

We ordered the special roll avengers (recommended for a group of 3-4 as the sushi types are very rich and creamy), a tako karaage, and a chashu ramen. The sushi was pretty good, lots of variety in the pack although mostly saucy/creamy sushi so if you’re not into that don’t order it. If you’re picking only 1 sushi roll out of the platter my recommendation is the volcano roll, the grilled scallop was very tasty and fresh. Really loved the ramen, especially the chashu, it was so meltingly tender. The broth was also flavourful without being too salty or creamy. The tako karaage was quite tasty as well although we’re more takoyaki people.
