Disappointing and Overpriced Spent over $250 here, and it was not worth it at all. The mocktail tasted like a mix of Listerine and toothpaste—definitely not enjoyable. The beef was chewy and lacked freshness, while the kingfish had no real flavor, almost like it had been marinated in water. The overall quality was very poor, comparable to what you’d find in a food court. I’ve been to many sushi places, and this was by far the most overpriced and underwhelming experience. Would not recommend.

Much prefer the Surry Hills restaurant to Barangaroo; same delicious food, but not nearly as noisy and bustling. The courtyard is a great spot.
