Sushi on Stanley

Bad sushi here. They put mayo on all the rolls. The waitresses don’t understand english and the place is really small.

Super cute, authentic little Japanese place. BYO which is nice. Can be a bit a difficult getting a table if you have more than two or three people. The food was awesome and authentic as well as speedy.

Disgusted had to leave before ordering. Walked in picked a table, staff wiped down table with dirty towel then proceeded to cough everywhere with out even attempting to cover her mouth. Then opened the fridge and coughed all over the food, and finally once more coughed all over food about to be served. We couldn’t take it and had to leave. It is unfortunate as we were looking forward to eating here due to the great reviews, but out right neglect by staff and management for cleanliness will probably stop us from ever trying this place.

Had dinner here twice. Sushi is really good and fresh. Cooked food well done and tasty. Service efficient but not terribly friendly. Place is small but not too cramped.

I think I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I say I think because I don’t know if everyone goes to the lengths that I do in order to keep clean. If they do, that’d mean I don’t have it, right? Well, one thing I do is opt for meals likely to cause the least mess, especially if I’m dressed for a function or a meeting. I have a feeling I’m on my own here, right, meaning I probably have it?
Anyway, although a growing boy like me needs meals substantial enough to fulfil my appetite — a standard Sushi meal isn’t — Sushi is a good option because you don’t get sauce or crumbs on your clothes or face if you eat it (I realise that by now you probably think I’m crazy).
Now, let me tell you I love the Sushi from this place. Not only is it very cheap (a standard box which at other places costs more than $ 20 is only on average $ 15 here) which is great for a hungry, growing boy like me, but it’s fresh and very tasty. The service is also great and the venue is small and very intimate.

I had a teriyaki chicken + sushi set and the quality was very average. salmon nigiri was good but it’s not that hard to get it right. The other parts to the set were pretty bad, rice was literally served cold and it had been cooked with too much water, miso soup was warm and quickly went cold — nothing special about the taste either. I can’t believe a place like this with a lot of popularity and high rating would deliver to such poor standards.

Very good, and hole in the wall (which I like a lot — pretense is nonsense). The sushi is reasonably priced for Sydney. The place is cash only, which makes the currency exchange cost for us foreigners a bit higher, but that’s not an issue for Aussies!

This place was a fantastic find! The sushi was fresh, fantastic and extremely reasonable. Not to mention how quick our service was. This is a smaller place — so I would recommend only a party of 4 or less.
Even though not in the thick of activity, the location is pretty central to many neighboring areas without all the hustle and bustle.

How have I not reviewed this place before??? I eat here at least once, if not twice a week for the following reasons:
1. It’s a block from my house
2. The sushi is phenomenal
3. It’s dirt cheap
Well, maybe dirt cheap isn’t the right phrase to use considering we’re talking about Sydney, but considering you can get a sashimi/​california roll/​salad/​miso soup combo for $ 14 I’d say it’s pretty solid in terms of value to food ratio.
It’s also BYO which is a huge perk in my opinion.
Anytime you’re in the mood for sushi head here– if you don’t want to eat there you can always takeaway, too.

If you want incredible sushi, go no further. The pricing is amazing, service is ultra quick and the quality is beyond fresh. I will be back to eat here again the second I come back to Australia. Five stars!

Solid sushi spot in Darlinghurst. Very cheap by Sydney standards, especially the little pre-​made to-​go boxes. Must try the chicken sushi!

Loses a star only for the disposable chopsticks — why do places do it to us? Great prices, delicious food, BYO, happening atmosphere, friendly staff make it a local treasure.

This place is awesome value for money. Delicious, fresh sushi that doesn’t break the bank. Only downside is that everyone else seems to know this secret, so they are often busy during dinner hours. Much better for small groups or takeaway.
Go for one of the dinner combos so you can have a taste of everything. My favourite is the Teriyaki (chicken or beef) with sashimi, that comes with a salad, miso soup and rice for $ 16. Winning!

Great little place for sushi, was really busy but still only had to wait about 10mins for food. I had small sushi plate and endname beans.

Am hitting all my old favourite spots now that I’m back in Sydney, and it’s good to see many haven’t changed; Sushi on Stanley is great for good, cheap sushi.
For a quick win in the warmer months, grab some rolls from here, some Asahi beer from the Lord Roberts take away across the road, and walk up the hill to Hyde Park and watch people.
The best rolls are: salmon avocado, soft shell crab, teriyaki chicken, and tempura prawn. All of them are big — most people will be stuffed after two.
If you can land a seat in side (it’s nearly always busy at meal times) the set meals are good, service is fast and efficient, but it’s a bit of a squeeze for space.
Take away is another option, and you’ll never have to wait long.

Ok finally I went to sushi in Stanley! I order a set with teriyaki chicken, sashimi n tempura! I’m very impressed with the tempura! It’s so yummy! Didn’t expected it can be so fresh!!! Sashimi is fresh enough but not that impressive at all, n the Teriyaki chicken is over cooked, even there is a lot of sauces on it, the chicken was still very dry! The meal comes with rice, salad and soup.
One point down is becoz this place is way too small.

This is a small little sushi bar which was a short walk from Kings Cross. We ordered some katsu chicken sushi, soft shell crab and a karage chicken. All the dishes came out quickly and were tasty. I must say I have had better sushi and karage chicken before but it was still fresh, cheap and good to eat!

LEGIT!!!
possibly the best sushi ive had in oz & since living in hawaii. well done. ive been here a few times in the past months and its fantastic! will be coming back here time and time again. i dont think you can go wrong with anything.
a surprise sushi roll i loved is the tempura salmon.
i rekon this place would be even better if it got smaller… hhhhmmmmm morios

This small restaurant seems to run by Koreans, but honestly, who cares if the food is good ?! My partner and I were there at 2.30pm on a Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was about 50% full, with quite a number of people walking in for their take outs.
Most of the lunch combo sets are in the price range of $ 10– $ 14. Portion is not super big but not small either.
I had the Chicken Katsu Curry Don Lunch Set ($ 10 woohoo!). It includes a small salad, miso soup and rice. I love how the curry was served on the side, and the chicken katsu was thick and juicy, set on top of a wire rack (good idea! so the chicken remains crispy).
My only (but small!) complaint would be that the chicken katsu was not piping hot (only lukewarm)…but hey! That’s just me, being a picky eater :)

This place is very cheap (but small portions) and while the tuna is amazing, the salmon really lacked flavor.
It’s cash only.
