Reviews


This Japanese restaurant in North Sydney is a hidden gem that offers authentic and delicious cuisine. Handmade soba noodles steal the show, with dishes like oroshi soba and chicken mushroom soup soba impressing diners. The seafood okonomiyaki is also a must-try, filled with generous toppings. The miso soup is a standout, made from scratch and incredibly flavorful. The ambiance is peaceful and reminiscent of dining in Japan. While some dishes like tempura on the tendon can be a bit soggy, overall the food is well-balanced and satisfying. The service is warm and attentive despite the lack of a dessert menu. Prices may be on the higher side, but the quality and authenticity of the food make it worth it. Overall, a top choice for those seeking a true taste of Japan in the heart of Sydney, on average, the rating for Jugemu & Shimbashi is 4.5.
