    We've been here multiple times and service and food has always been great. Last night though we were rushed. We had the 8:30 seating and last orders were at 9pm which was a bit disappointing

    The service was lacking in flexibility. Allowed us only 2 hours for the table. Strong pressure to leave the table. We used this restaurant for business dinner. We'll never use on the purpose for sure.

    Good quality food and great service. The O-toro sashimi is the best one we had this year so far, the brown mushrooms and pork sausage skewers are tasty, and the Mont Blanc is an absolute killer. Staff are cheerful and approachable. Having said that a few issues to address. Firstly not sure why the Wagyu skewer rather than the sashimi was the first dish to arrive. Also it took long for our beer and drinks to arrive - we almost finished the sashimi and two or three skewers when the drinks finally arrived.

    The food and ambiance were nice. Seating on the bar can be squishy. Staff were polite however waited a long time (30-40mins) between entree to mains, asked staff to check on it and said they served it however I witnessed it went to the wrong table, and accused us we had eaten it even the main griller in front saw what we ate. After the little mishap, it sorted out however had to extend our dining to get our orders.

    A big NO to this restaurant. One of senior staffs who was training junior had no smile, replied all our enquiries super straightaway (or another word, rudely) with a black face during the entire meal. The junior and another lady with glasses were good. Food-wise, avocados in beef tartare didn't cut into small pieces properly, and avocado themselves were all not fresh and turned black already. Grilled chicken thigh skewer was super dry, hard to imagine originally this part of chicken should juicy. Miso black cod was nice but way too small. We didn't order that much (only $155 including one soft drink). So for sure it was not enough for 2 girls and need to seek something else outside but as you can see from this review, def won't spend anymore since it didn't worth. p.s: they didn't ask how's everything hence no chance for me to complain in store.

    The overall quality of the food is decent, but it is slightly expensive for the price. Additionally, the chicken skin is not crispy enough and has a soft texture when bitten into. I ordered a hot sake, but it was served in a whiskey glass

    I requested a table. I made a booking 3 weeks in advance and I particularly asked to keep the table, not the counter. When I spoke to one of the people who served us, she sounded very unfriendly and told me that there is no table available. You could just keep a table for us and let other people who walked in to the counter. This is the whole reason for making a reservation. If you were not sure to achieve the request, they should have told me beforehand then I would be ok. I will not use it for a special occasion. Although the food was amazing, I liked the vibe but the service of one person ruined the experience. All the other staffs were nice.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Goryon San in Surry Hills, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant surpassed my expectations with its impeccable service and outstanding Japanese cuisine. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by the staff and promptly seated. The attentive service continued throughout the meal, with the servers providing knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring that every need was met. Each dish that arrived at our table was a work of art. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was remarkable. The sashimi were incredibly fresh and delicious. One standout dish was the ramen. The broth was rich and deeply flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect texture. The seasonings elevated the dish to another level. The ambiance of Goryon San was warm and inviting, with a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Overall, my dining experience at Goryon San was truly memorable. The combination of exceptional service, exquisite food, and inviting ambiance made for a perfect evening. I highly recommend Goryon San to anyone looking for an authentic and exceptional Japanese dining experience in Surry Hills.

    I booked the table more than 1 month ago. I mentioned it is for my birthday. When I got there, the staff gave me the seat at the bar. I asked that I booked a table not bar seat. The staff said the table for 2 is not available. Only uncomfortable one left. I cannot understand that I booked the table one month ago and just gave us bar seat? Also, no omakase on Friday. I was so disappointed there. Don't go there for special day.
