sushi e

bestsushiin sydney. definitely go here on a weekend and book a spot at thesushibar. it's really part of the overall experience. this is definitely a high-endsushirestaurant but every penny is worth it here. the food here is exquisite and thesushichefs are friendly and willing to accommodate special rolls that are not on the menu. my fiance gets the tuna sashimi everytime and is never disappointed. the miso eggplant and the citrus salad is also very good, as i'm sure pretty much everything is! excellent wine and martini menu. we have dinner here and feel as though we've actually had a "night out" and not just a meal... my only complaint (as with mostsushirestaurants in sydney), would be that there aren't a lot of vegetarian rolls on the menu. i would expect there to be at least one vegetarian roll with "exotic" ingredients such as mango or truffles or tofu... other than that, it's a great spot and i'm sure we'll be back many times!

came here for dinner on a friday night and the place was packed, thank god we made reservations beforehand. love the atmosphere and the table setting where everyone sits around thesushibar where we could watch the chefs prepare thesushiand sashimi.

we ordered the agedashi tofu, mixed tempura, wagyu skewers, atlanticsushi(salmon sushi) and bay bug tempura sushi. my favorite was the wagyu skewer because the wagyu was very tender and juicy and sort of melts in your mouth, the wagyu was also seasoned beautifully. thesushiwere really great too, but the atlanticsushilacked some flavor, perhaps you could add some sauce in it. the agedashi tofu was nice too, the broth was yummy. the mixed tempura was nice and crispy.

will definitely be back!

expensive..sushiwas good but very pricey. service was okay but nothing special.

disappointing!. had dinner here early tonight, as i used to love everything i had here. but tonight somehow, seems they might have changed chefs and some food i ordered looked and tasted different than the ones i had before including a few pieces of sushi. i thoughtsushiare supposed to use raw fish or at least most of them are, but the ones came to my table were seared, so i checked with the waitress whom was looking after my table and was told "it has to be seared" by both the waitress and the chef. i was confused and decided to check the menu again, but menu doesn't say the items i ordered are seared. instead there's a remark at the bottle indicating it's customers choice to have thesushito be slightly seared.
apparently that was not my choice but the chef's choice! i told the waitress i'd like to talk to the chef, because i don't want to eat and pay something i don't like. the chef, he's japanese came to our table and explained with a bit attitude that most of the customers in this restaurant like seared sushi.
excuse me?? but i don't! if you've made a mistake, you just admit it. marivale, this is so disappointing! unprofessional waitress and rude chef, where's your customer service.
needless to say, i will not come again.

i settle at thesushibar for a lovely dinner. i love this place and have traditionally dined at hemmesphere (the cocktail lounge which is connected to the restaurant), however today i have decided to dine at thesushibar instead. it is a great way to see the food being prepared and a much more social setting being surrounded by fellow diners and interacting with the staff.

mr c decided to book a visit tosushie as part of the march into merivale period, the restaurant is actually a part of hemmesphere bar and both are part of merivale group situated at the top of the establishment building above est.

wow!! my second visit here and all i can say is wow because everytime i visit, the quality is outstanding and so are the dishes. the highlight of my meal were definitely the tuna carpaccio and wagyu roll - the tuna was perfectly flavoured with a hint of spice and umami with the crispy onions. the tuna was so thin and absorbed the sauce really well.

the wagyu roll was quite tender and the perfect bite size, a sweet soy flavour and melted in your mouth. the roll wasn’t too heavy with the rice and i would say the amount we ordered was enough for 2 people but we did have a tiny bit amount left over (we could have done without the karaage and the portion would have been good).

the service and atmosphere was exceptional and they are quite attentive, even thesushichefs when we had any requests! i would love to visit again and i know it’ll only get better.

was recommended to come here to try omakase and it was an experience. was abit hard to find because it was in the establishment and up the lift. the dining area quite compact. kitchen in the middle with 3 chefs.

the dishes came out quite fast which was good. thesushiwas nice but was abit too much. 8 different sushis was abit much. then after it was the wagyu chuck with rice as a main. tasty but abit over cooked wagyu made it abit dry. rice was very tasty though. but by then i was completely full from all that sushi. so had to take most of it away.

service was excellent. no complaints there.
overall, nice place to kick back and enjoy quality japanese food.

i am visiting sydney and a very lovely friend of mine recommended this place and oh boy i had a great lunch. 
i was the first person in, as i booked at opening time, mind i was wearing shorts and a crew cut black sweatshirt even if they stated in the email the dress code was smart casual, i would have not been surprised if i would have been sent away at the door, but it did not happen. i sat at the large bar, stunning interior, nice long marblesushibar and some other tables for larger groups. casey (hopefully i am spelling her name right) was absolutely delightful and knowledgeable.
 after presenting the specials she gave a couple of suggestions on what to order. unfortunately they serve san pellegrino as sparkling water, which is the death ofsushiand delicate flavours with the chalky consistency so i did have panna as a still water option. 

i had the edamame ( classic) they were perfectly cooked and i liked the they came still attached to the small branches, it looked great. after that, some sydney rock oysters with two different toppings: the shiso granita, surprisingly delicious even if a bit sweet and the ponzu, perfectly balanced ( i usually ask ponzu on the side as it can be unbalance and therefore very harsh on oysters). the wagyu uramaki was juicy and tender, the short rib inside was perfectly cooked. tuna dynamite temaki was delicious and spicy , i loved the nori they used, it is of a great quality indeed. the absolute highlight was my main dish, the king crag soba noodles, very generous portion and incredible umami. this dish is the reason i would go back to this place. perfectly balanced flavours tender noodles and mouthwatering crab meat. fantastic!!! i had a gorgeous ssb from western australia, their premium wine selection is outstanding, wish i had more time in sydney because i would go back and try more! 
oh and thanks for the dessert you sent to my table, was just the cherry on top!! ( or the pannacotta strawberry in this case, ah!) 
thanks so much to my waitress and the team again for the experience.

sushi e is upstairs from establishment and offers a japanese fine dining experience. you can see thesushichefs turn fresh produce into delicious dishes. i enjoyed everything pictured.

the service was lovely but i thought this restaurant was very overrated . i foundsushie to be overpriced and the food underwhelming. the portion sizes were very small and the dishes were not amazing. we ordered the snapper and kingfish signature sashimi, i preferred the kingfish. both were nice though. we also ordered the balmain bug in lettuce cups, which was nice. the dish i was most disappointed with was the tooth fish main - it was $50 and a very small serving size with no side food. the fish just tasted like butter, which is nice but not worth the money. the crab noodle main was much nicer. we also ordered the spicy tunasushiroll, which was so average sadly. i think i just expected more.

fancy upper-classsushirestaurant with greatsushiselections, great service and great interior design.

we went for dinner on a friday night and it wasn't too busy.

we were able to walk in without a booking, and sat at the bar where we watched one of the chefs prepare our sashimi and sushi, which was a lot of fun. we ordered oysters with ponzu, kingfish sashimi, a medium plate of sashimi (12 pieces), balmain bug, wagyu tataki and a dynamitesushiroll. our favourites were the wagyu, which was served with pickled onions and egg yolk, was smokey, creamy and melt in your mouth delicious, and the balmain bug tempura- crispy, meaty, inventive and extremely flavourful. the sashimi andsushiwere both very fresh and delicious.

for drinks we had the "inglorious bastard" cocktail, which tasted quite herbal, and "senpai", which was fruity and refreshing. both were welcome accompaniments to our meal, and neither was too strong.

service was very professional; overall we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and appreciated the extra touch of complementary dessert!

we came here due to the fact that it has good reviews. we left very disappointed and would never come back again.
positive: nice decor
negative:
- price: very pricey, the tasting menu ($75per head) is such a waste of money, below average quality (even worse than asushitrain outlet). only sashimi was okay, the rest of the meal was such a joke.
- service: it is our biggest disappointment. i don’t know the name of the waitress who served us as she didn’t wear her name badge. long story short: impolite, impatient, from the moment we ordered until when we paid our bill. didn’t even look at us, didn’t say thank you after handling the receipt.
we expected a good dinner (willing to pay a premium price) after a long day at work, cannot be more upset after this terrible experience

wow ! great company and great food. what a way to end a busy day in sydney. the food atsushie is alway consistent, good, easily digestible and just tantalising. i always feel good after eating there.

the dishes were just top of the charts and can’t wait to come back.

the salmon dishes and tuna dishes were great and my friend loved the chicken.

please try!! you won’t be upset.

also the waitresses and staff are friendly, courteous and just happy to please.
