Sushi Train Neutral Bay

The sushi industry is one of the most competitive food markets in the streets of Sydney, with a privately owned store on just about every corner. It only takes one bad roll for a customer to lose loyalty to any given outlet before they move on to another. I’ve dined at more than my fair share of sushi stores, though the one that I believe is a step above the rest is the eat-in restaurant chain, Sushi Train.

Sushi Train offers the regular fixes of inside out hand rolls, having that fresh taste that is expected at any eat-in sushi train. As someone who is very nit-picky about their salmon, I can assure you that the texture is beautiful and not too fatty. As a healthier alternative, generous portions of Sashimi are also available for those that prefer the cuts of fish to the seaweed paper and rice.

A favourite hot plate of mine is the vegetable Gyoza. Be on the lookout, as it is best to order this dish during peak hour so that it is made fresh. Similar to the dumpling, this dish is a great entrĂ©e and a staple order at Sushi Train. If you’re after an alternative for your palette to sushi, you can’t go wrong with Gyoza.

However, this brings me to the reason why I dine in at Neutral Bay. The okonomiyaki, a Japanese seafood pancake, is made fresh upon request and is a must-order at any Sushi Train. Accompanied with a light mayonnaise and a thicker version of soy sauce, the delicate pancake melts in your mouth upon every bit. This dish has been cooked to absolute perfection, and is a light dish for those looking to end the night on a good note.

If you're after fresh sushi with great hot plate alternatives, I recommend you head down to your local Sushi Train.
