SOKYO REVIEWS
What a fantastic night I had here! It’s quite an amazing experience for me and my family. The decor is simple but luxurious. The drink is not that great, but the food is incredibly fresh and delicious. I could remember the texture of the fish: crunchy, soft, and sweet. There are many words that I can use to describe it. Overall, Perfect.
I enjoyed a dinner here with a business colleague whilst we were staying at The Star. Definitely not the cheapest place to eat however what good Japanese restaurant is. We were unsure what to eat and so allowed one of the waitresses to guide us. Suffice to say her selections were excellent and not necessarily all of the most expensive dishes. And the food was sublime. The sashimi I particular was amazing.
Had a great meal at Sokyo. The sashimi was definitely the highlight of the nice. You could tell it was of great quality and fresh. Would definitely recommend getting the Sashimi Platter and trying the Tuna Crispy Rice! I was absolutely in love with the Toro, and would definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood to splurge a bit. The Toro just melts in your mouth like butter.

SAKE RESTAURANT & BAR REVIEWS
The food was absolutely delicious. Exceptional quality. Yummy cocktails. The staff were very welcoming, providing great service. We sat at the bar area around the kitchen and the chef took the time to explain to us the different sushi he had prepared. We will be back next time we visit Sydney!
We celebrated our 39th anniversary here, and it was definitely a memorable and pleasant moment. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was good and welcoming. We also have a surprise with a complimentary cake from Sake as an extra dessert. The food was excellent, and the Dragon Egg dessert was the highlight of the night.
A great experience and meal at Sake! I really enjoyed everything we had, and the service was exceptional! Our waitress Trang was so friendly and helpful, she provided us with great recommendations and was great to chat to. She made the experience all the more better. All our food was fresh, seasoned really well and super tasty. My favourite was the beef taco. Would definitely come back.

TETSUYA'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Tetsuya's made my birthday celebration truly unforgettable. The food was nothing short of exceptional, presented like works of art on the plate. The service was impeccably professional and attentive, setting a high standard for fine dining experiences. But what truly stood out was their epic wine list, which elevated the entire meal. Special mention to Pak, who provided exemplary care and attention throughout the evening. Tetsuya's is a culinary masterpiece, offering a combination of exquisite cuisine, top-tier service, and a wine selection that's simply outstanding.
Exceptional food, quality service (thank you Manuel and staff), wonderful atmosphere. Oysters to perfection, tuna fresh and succulent, scallop explosive flavours and textures, signature ocean trout absolutely divine, truffle pastries and truffle butter second to none. We were in the private function room for my sister's wedding reception, and they were so lovely to accommodate our children.
Returned over the years and remained at a high standard when it comes to food and service. The ocean trout is a signature for a reason, however the other dishes are no pushovers. The airy truffle butter is hectic. Dietary restrictions: Accommodates allergies and pregnancy recommendations.
