kanzo

always a local fave, their grilled salmon rolls are the best in sydney! sashimi is alwaysfreshand their new store is great - making wait times a lot quicker.

large restaurant & friendly staff. food came or quickly and wasfreshand delicious. they are accommodating to specific dietary request. pricing was very reasonable.

best sushi in parramatta. 👍🏻

food is great, prices are cheap and the service is fast (especially during peak lunch hours). unlike most sushi stores, they make their sushifreshon demand.

it's a small restaurant with barely 20 seats inside. they're so busy on the weekend but luckily the wait wasn't too long for a table.

the salmon nigiri was nice and not too expensive. myfreshsalmon avocado roll was $10 and boy was there a lot of salmon in it! teriyaki chicken was tasty and well portioned.

definitely one to try if you're in parramatta

for its price point, kanzo is pretty good. i was especially impressed with the sushi, which was notablyfreshand generous. i can’t see myself heading out that way too often, as it seems a little bit excessive to travel all that distance for what basically amounts to takeaway, but it would definitely be my first choice if i were in the area.

i think it is an average or slightly above average japanese restaurant. the sea food wasfreshand good.

on the outskirts of parramatta, this sushi restaurant got quite busy! i was a little confused as this is called kanzo and assuming their other store, called kanzofreshsushi!
i loved the spicy tuna roll, not overly hot which still gave me flavour without numbing my whole mouth. love the decor, layout and everything! would definitely come back here to try more

this is probably the best sushi place i’ve been to. all their ingredients are sofreshand extremely tasty! can’t go wrong with a magma or grilled sushi roll- best thing on their menu. their teriyaki chicken is also amazing! once you eat here, it’ll be hard to eat at another sushi joint.

alwaysfreshand delicious! come here for most of my lunches, reasonably priced.
get the hand roll for a delicious experience.
the staff are very friendly.

being a hotspot in parramatta with an impressive rating of 4.5, i decided to try out the restaurant kanzo. there’s two locations, one for mainly takeaway and another down the street for dining in. following the first address on google maps, i was led to the takeaway locations with few seats, not realising the other location till staff directed customers outside the door. make sure you visit the appropriate location to get the full experience!

staff were nice and there was an extensive menu, from burgers to fried noodles. i opted for the large vegetarian roll, tempura udon (veggies only) and a side of miso soup (contains beef). the sushi was veryfreshand light, however i wish tofu was only of the options for the large sushi rolls. the broth of the udon noodle soup was very flavoursome and warming, as well as the miso soup. it didn’t stop there, the noodles were the best i’ve tried, closely followed mappen’s udon. it had a great texture, very elastic and complemented the fried tempura and tasty broth very well. i hoped for a wider variety of vegetables used in the tempura such as green beans, eggplant or sweet potato, but instead there was just pumpkin, zucchini and carrots which were very undercooked.

all in all, a great menu with loads of veg options, i would return to try the agedashi tofu, fried noodles, ramen and more udon at the dine in location.

we often frequent kanzo in parramatta and is often known as the best japanese in parra. it's super popular and you'll have to wait for a table after 12.30pm. the food isfreshand authentic. highly recommended

this place is great forfreshsushi and japanese food at a reasonable price. i ordered the teriyaki chicken salad bowl which was very tasty and fresh. others ordered chicken katsu curry which was also very tasty and a generous serving. the sushi rolls were also delicious.

the place is very small and there is limited seating, so it can be a little difficult getting a spot. the service was also not that great and could be improved. however i would recommend for tasty and affordable japanese food

hands down favourite sushi place!! i’ve eaten here 3 times and the service and food is still amazing. the sushi is reallyfreshand portions are very generous for the price! salmon and avo sushi is a definite and the grilled salmon sushi is to die for 🤤🤤🤤 the california roll was so nice and fresh!! the udon was very nice on a cold night and gave us a generous amount. takoyaki amazing as usual. been to both the takeaway and restaurant kanzo in parramatta and both are good in my opinion. the restaurant one is definitely more comfortable and spacious.

having opened a second location just down the road from the first, kanzo is bigger and better than ever. with all my old favourites still on the menu, they’ve refined their offerings to provide a casual dining experience that really is value for money. expect fresh, vibrant sushi and sashimi, and make sure you don’t leave without trying the grilled salmon roll!

this review is for their new location 'kanzofreshsushi seasons' located just down the road from the original. with the upgrade came afreshnew-look menu, brimming with everything from sashimi to donburi, udon and ramen. nothing particularly innovative by any means, but everything i look for in a local, casual japanese restaurant –freshsushi and sashimi, and all the classics done well.

rather busy during lunch hours, although getting a table or even just getting takeaway doesn’t require that much of a wait. i’ve been here twice now and it’s not the best japanese cuisine place in parramatta but it does it well enough. this place is not friendly for gluten free and dairy free folks, since there’s no gluten free sauce or any kind of notation on their menu. that being said though,freshsashimi and nigiri tend to be safe options.

ordered sashimi bento, sushi and sashimi bento, and a medium nigiri sushi platter. was kinda keen on the lotus root chips but then i saw the price and was like nah.

anyway, sashimi bento came with rice, salad (drizzled with sauce - so i didn’t touch it bc i don’t know if it’s gluten free or not), miso soup, and a few slices of salmon drizzled in more sauce (did not touch this because i rly hate it when salmon is drowned in any kind of sauce!) and a few slices of tuna and salmon sashimi. the tuna sashimi is definitely not as good as the salmon sashimi. there were more inedible fatty pieces in the tuna that the chef hadn’t cut out and i had to spit it out while i was eating because grosssss... it isfreshseafood but i really wish they took more care in slicing their raw food, because that’s what makes sashimi different to just throwing on blobs of seafood. would have preferred thinner slices :) the salmon sashimi was cut thinner than the tuna ones and it was hard to fault! melt in your mouth salmon sashimi is always to die for so kudos for that. the one lotus root chip was ok, kinda oily and already cold. wouldn’t really make me want to order more.

sushi and sashimi bento: similar to the sashimi bento but $1 more expensive. it came with a few pieces of tuna and salmon nigiri. i think i did like this more than the sashimi one because they didn’t drown anything in sauce. the thin nigiri slices are great. rice is eh — not something that i usually eat unless i’m super hungry. it’s well seasoned and well made, maybe a little on the sticky side but still dry like leftover rice.

medium nigiri sushi platter probably doesn’t seem worth it at all considering the baby rolls were half salmon and half cooked tuna. the cooked tuna was rly bland and the salmon you could barely taste. ebi/prawn nigiri was also good but i really would’ve preferred less baby rolls.

overall, because of how busy this place gets, customer service is to the point and friendly enough (they seem like they’re trying their best). ambience-wise it seems like your regular takeaway shop, with only a few tables to sit at, but i really do think their seafood is a lot morefreshthan the usual japanese takeaway stores and is on par with fancier japanese restaurants and sushi trains. their prices are fair for what they offer although improvements could be made for some of the dishes.
