Senpai Ramen, Chatswood

Senpai Ramen is a ramen/omakase style diner by Chase Kojima (of Sokyo, Gojima), serving up an omakase set menu with ramen as one of the finishing courses. Despite being stylised as a ramen omakase, there is only one ramen dish served at the end. Having seen many posts about Senpai ramen on social media, we decided we had to try this for ourselves. Address: G05/88 … Continue reading Senpai Ramen, Chatswood

Marble BBQ, Barangaroo

If you’re in search for a more contemporary Asian inspired dining experience, my recent trip to Marble BBQ in Barangaroo where we had some very yummy (and surprisingly homely) food, may be the place for you. Opened by the same people who run Tokki in Surry Hills, the upmarket sister version is set in Barangaroo, a place that after working hours turned out to be … Continue reading Marble BBQ, Barangaroo

Kuon Omakase, Sydney

With omakase being all the rage in Sydney as of late, we made considered and concerted efforts to snag a booking at the ever popular Kuon Omakase. Once secured (and a booking for two much easier than four) it so happens we were both visiting in the same month, so have summarised the entire Feeds For Three experience of Kuon Omakase in this post. Omakase … Continue reading Kuon Omakase, Sydney

Choji Yakiniku, Chatswood

Yakitori Yurippi, Crows Nest

With a hankering for Japanese yakitori and a desire to explore the eats of Crows Nest, we headed to Yakitori Yurippi, to try their variety of home-style skewered meats and veges. The shop is quite small, so make a booking or get there early if you don’t want to wait in line as they can’t sit that many people, especially with COVID restrictions. With a … Continue reading Yakitori Yurippi, Crows Nest

Nikkei Restaurant, Surry Hills

Intrigued by the premise of Japanese and Peruvian fusion, and being rather uneducated in the realms of Peruvian food, I headed to Nikkei restaurant in Surry Hills to try out their summer menu. It wasn’t until I arrived that I realised the restaurant is not fusion at all, but rather a cuisine in itself created by Peruvians of Japanese descent who begun using traditional Japanese … Continue reading Nikkei Restaurant, Surry Hills
