Yebisu Bar & Grill - Haymarket

Guess what??! I think I found my new favourite Japanese bar restaurant! The whole restaurant is just so pretty! Literally taking me back to japan itself! I got to love the eel skewers, egg plant and sashimi.

We can all agree that Japanese food is always a temptation for our food cravings. Especially when in a crowd, deciding WHICH Japanese food you'd want can be stressful or complicated! ⁣<br/ ⁣<br/ Between yakitori, ramen, sushi, sukiyaki, rice dishes or fried food such as takoyaki or karaage, there's something for everyone (even the picky) . ⁣

Yebisu is an izakaya style restaurant smack in the middle of Dixon Street Chinatown Sydney. What works? Plenty of atmosphere and unbelievable turnover in crowds including students, working professionals, families, locals and tourists. Staff are extremely busy but happy to spend time explaining and recommending their sake to your personal taste in their slightly broken English. It adds authenticity to the place. There is always a birthday or a few, as there are big beers sent to the table with loud Happy Birthday sung in Japanese and topped with sparklers! What doesn’t work? It’s not posh, but I was t looming for that! My friend and I were so immersed in Fri night conversation, food and sake that we realised we were there in same table and seat for over 5 hours! A record for me! <br/ <br/ Visit this place for fun, loud atmosphere and crowd, and decent Japanese food and bevvies.

I went to this place twice already. The prices are a little steep but food is good. They have HUGE menu so it was hard to choose. I ordered nearly everything and everything was terrific. I enjoyed the late night opening time because I finish work quite late at night and can still have a good meal. I recommend their chasiu rice or something and kaarage chicken was good too. The photos on the iPad menu is pretty accurate so you can see which suits your fancy.

Authentic Japanese fare in Chinatown. A good option after visiting the Chinese gardens. Their mixed tempura bento box is filling, complete meal with miso soup, salad, and green tea tiramisu for dessert. Gets busy at lunch time.
