kanzo

one of my favourite sushi joints. i used to go to the older one as well and now the newly renovated place in george street is much nicer and more spacious. the sushi here is delicious as well as their salads. my friend ordered the magma roll and i got the chicken katsu salad base with you sesame dressing but asked to change it to the grilled chicken instead (wanted to try something new). the regular katsu salad is amazing as well. service has always been good and prices are very reasonable. never disappoints! i highly recommend this place for a japanese feed.

ordered the grilled salmon roll and swapped out the avocado for cucumber (very happy they were able to do that). the roll was fresh and had nice flavour but just a little too much brown sauce.

it is my go to lunch place if i didn't know what else to eat. always fresh, love their sushi, and good consistency. it can get very busy at lunch time though.

in the words of luke cage: "sweet christmas!" i think i've found my new go to sushi place. tried their special rolls, salmon salad and nigiri in 3 visits. have not yet once been disappointed. 

let me just say that the grilled scallop roll and the volcano (unagi) roll are to die for.  each is like opening a treasure chest, where hidden inside the grilled scallop roll is a generous amount of salmon sashimi and there's also the crispiest tempura at the centre of the volcano roll.  both very delicious. salmon salad is super refreshing if you decide to go with the sesame dressing. very generous servings which will definitely fill you up. will be back again!

pretty good value japanese. the sashimi is fresh - although lacking in variety. lots of variety in sushi and rolls. service was friendly. i would go again

i have previously been to the smaller kanzo further down george st (6/55 george st), so today i tried the bigger and newly opened one (109 george st)!

it is super fresh, has heaps of options and offers speedy service. a great quick and easy feed that also happens to be quite cheap! make sure to try the black rice too - very tasty.

amazingly fresh and delicious sushi and sashimi, their bento boxes never fail to please! a small store with limited seating but they offer takeaway and their staff are very friendly.

we ordered the 9 piece sashimi, karage chicken bento with teriyaki chicken and the pork katsu bento for 2 people.

quality: sashimi was only salmon as we were told that tuna wasn't available. nice texture and flavour but possibly a bit less firm than chilled or freshly cut sashimi. bentos were well presented but the pork katsu crumb wasn't particularly crispy and the katsu sauce was reminiscent of bbq sauce. teriyaki chicken was excellent and very well matched with the coleslaw salad bed it came on. miso soup was some of the best i've had in recent memory.

service: very prompt with the food after ordering. miso was brought out immediately which was appreciated as i was ravenous. good amount of time between the sashimi and bentos

value: excellent value compared to similar japanese food in parramatta cbd. this is really good value for money at only $13 per bento.

overall: great service and value for money. food is yummy but make sure you go early in the day so you can be sure it is as fresh as possible!

not great tbh, only keep coming back because it’s close to home, well priced, and the portion is decent. they have their good days and bad days.
their sushi servings are huge and usually tastes pretty good, except the rice will never hold together and more often than not the raw salmon, tuna, prawn etc... isn’t fresh, unlike their avocados which are always 👍 their katsu’s are always nice and crispy on the outside however the rice is always a bit hard (tastes like it’s been in the fridge a couple days)

tried their udon and ramen once.... never again.

what i liked best about this place: i love japanese and always suggest it when meeting up with friends. my friends and i meet at parra often and the food choices just keep increasing. we came here because it has high ratings. and whenever we walk past it's always busy.the food was very tasty! i want to go again already!

by far the best sushi out in the west. the sushi is always fresh and is full of flavour & the new outfit on george street is a great addition. service is always good & with food tasting this great, you can't go wrong. highly recommend!

great fresh sushi , salad was definitely value for $$. would recommend the soft shell crab roll. new store further down the road has great seating and service too

went to the new shop further down the road. good food - had tempura udon, large sashimi platter, unagi roll. everything was so fresh. great to see a small shop expand into something bigger for the benefit of the parra foodies

the grilled salmon roll and grilled scallop roll are my absolute fav, i order them every single time. have also tried the medium rolls (salmon + avo) and salmon avo salad - consistently generous and fresh salmon portions, super tasty. would recommend this original kanzo over the new and bigger building they opened up down the road (menu is very different in the new one and the service and quality of sushi there was disappointing).
*cannot comment on the hot/cooked dishes as i have never tried these, my review is solely based on the sushi/"cold" dishes.*

fresh sushi, good price and service. also kid friendly will definitely be back. the wasabi is mild. can be a bit saucey but otherwise great food.
