What Thurman Gutmann doesn't like about Nakashima Japanese:
Very low key restaurant. Sadly, it has nothing to do with authentic Japanese cuisine, only names of the dishes. We ordered Teriyaki squid, tempura, sukiyaki and edomame. Sukuyaki and squid were absolutely the same taste: mix of soy souse with a lot of sugar and starch. Tempura was unprofessionally cuts of pumpkin (1piece) , eggplant (1 piece) plus two tasteless frozen prawns; the tempura batter was thick and moist.... View all feedback. What Reymundo Quigley likes about Nakashima Japanese:
Nice venue, friendly staff and affordable and very tasty Japanese. Loved the wagyu beef with their sauce. No view of water. Decor is typical of low key Asian restaurant. Recommend. View all feedback.

Everything is simple here but still delicious. They do sushi very well! The hot pot was a bit too salty to my liking though. Don't expect fine dining but it is...

Over priced and ingredients were not fresh. sashimi tasted like frozen fish. Sydney has some stellar Japanese joints and this was less than mediocre.

Nakashima is a hidden gem, offering generous and value-for-money Bento boxes for a hearty casual lunch. While the authenticity of the Japanese cuisine may be questionable, the cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal. The sushi is decent, and dishes like the wagyu beef and sashimi are tasty options. Despite some minor flaws, like overly salty hot pot, Nakashima is a great choice for a simple yet delicious dining experience. Whether dining solo or with a small group, this restaurant provides a satisfying meal in a low-key setting.
