kanzo

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

i visited kanzo following the urban spoon reviews & rating. i was not disappointed. i had a table for 4 booked thankfully as the dining space is very small. the sashimi was fresh, the ramen hot & the bento's had agreatselection. fantastic food at a very affordable price. highly recommend, i'll be back.

can’t complain about this place! there are very few good japanese restaurants in western sydney but this is one of them. there is limited seating but this doesn’t affect the experience at all. the food isgreat– it’s cooked very well, high quality, and also affordable. i enjoy the bento boxes and the sushi is always tasty and fresh. i’ve noticed that they’re also pretty speedy getting the meal to your table. staff are very friendly and accommodating if you prefer a seat in a particular spot. they are also open until 9pm on weekdays which i think isgreatsince there are not many other good options around the area.

tried and true lunch spot. made to order andgreatprice for product, i've never had an issue and ordered well over a dozen times.

budget friendly andgreattastes too. worth a visit. fusion of japanese and korean brings delicious meal to your table. service is quick and precise

fresh sushi rolls and they are made to order.greatprice. small cute and cozy place to have afternoon snacks.

simple but delicious

i had agreattime eating in this restaurant and it was a good experience. i bought a karage and katsu bento with some basic salad. the meat was tender and juicy, it was delicious.

ramen is not good, i don't think they know how to make good ramen. the base is wrong and it doesn't taste like any japanese ramen that i've tried. on a good note the agedashi tofu is really good with the broth. it's clean, salty and taste amazing in your mouth. it's like a sexy salt bath in your mouth.

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 very fresh and 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 agreattexture, 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, agreatmenu with loads of veg options, i would return to try the agedashi tofu, fried noodles, ramen and more udon at the dine in location.

pricing 3 stars

great tasting food, i love when it actually taste japanesey and not chinese. everything was solid andgreatportions. but from a students pov, it’s slightly pricey.

this place isgreatfor fresh sushi 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 thatgreatand could be improved. however i would recommend for tasty and affordable japanese food

ordered the grilled salmon roll, a large sashimi platter and orange juice which was around $45 in total, which is a good price for sashimi and a large roll.

the grilled salmon is pretty dam good. i didn’t think the sashimi platter was that fresh but the texture and flavour was still good.

it’s just across the road from the lobby of meriton george street so it’s agreatplace to go if you’re staying the night.

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. agreatquick and easy feed that also happens to be quite cheap! make sure to try the black rice too - very tasty.

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:greatservice 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!

notgreattbh, 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.

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 agreataddition. service is always good & with food tasting this great, you can't go wrong. highly recommend!
