Reviews

An ordinary Japanese restaurant in CBD. Average food, good service, don't try ramen.  Update 2022: menu has been changed. Price has been up. Quality is great.

It's been over two years since I last visited and the dinner menu wasn't as extensive as it was back then, perhaps due to a change in management.  That said, the food was pretty tasty and of a high standard. Eating the food reminded me of Japan.  I really like that it's an authentic restaurant with Japanese staff, which can be hard to find in Sydney.  The only negative was that wait staff were occasionally absent which made things awkward as I had to call out for someone to serve me.

3.5 stars  Sakuratei is one of a pair of Japanese restaurants sitting at the rear of St. Martins Tower, in a tiny arcade that runs between Clarence and York Streets. While sister restaurant, Kabuki Shoroku, is a more expensive affair that offers up multi-course kaiseki the Japanese equivalent to what we’d call fine dining, Sakuratei is aimed at salarymen Japanese white-collar workers on salaries. It does a roaring trade in fast lunches for tower dwelling folk who, in less than an hour, need to race back to their desks.  Speed comes at a cost – the simplified menu is a series of well-worn plastic cards grouping lunches into a series of fast-to-produce items with no variations or separate bills possible. What sets Sakuratei apart however is its outlook. The dark wood panelled dining room with cherry blossom panels faces onto a secret garden centred around a pond filled with giant koi. This surprising urban oasis of trees, greenery and writhing mass of golden, orange and white fishes is perched a level above Clarence Street on the roof of a Wilson parking station.  There’s something quite tranquil and restorative about breaking your workday with a cup of Hot Japanese Tea $2.50 and a leafy green outlook. If the weather is nice, you can dine on bar stools at two dedicated al fresco long tables, otherwise, the restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling are good at bringing the outside in.  While lots of Sakuratei's fast lunch dishes are single bowl affairs – donburi rice bowls, chirashi, curry rice, and ramen – there are also meal sets if you’re craving some variety. While Bento Boxes $28/each are comparatively pricy, Combo Meals $17 meals give you two dishes of your choosing from a menu of six, served with steamed rice white or brown and a bowl of miso. Sticky barbeque eel and panko-crumbed chicken katsu were both generously proportioned and served with mixed greens slathered in a creamy roast sesame dressing.  With the menu promising “a LOT of cha-shu”, the Cha-Shu Ramen $12.90 with a Spicy Miso +$0.50 soup base would likely make the ramen master from the 1985 Japanese film, Tampopo weep. It’s a crudely presented bowl of soup that’s splashed up the sides on its way to the table. You can just make out a boiled rather than marinated ajitsuke tamago egg, and some bamboo shoots. The promised cha-shu barbequed pork is nowhere to be seen, however after fishing around a bit, I find three unevenly cut, thickish slices that might have benefited from some blow-torch action to caramelise their gelatinous fat.  The broth is simple, if slightly on the salty side, with very little richness or bone flavour. It’s not spicy so much as it is faintly lively in the mouth rather than just being flat, making my mouth-soothing Cold Japanese Tea $3.90 rather redundant. The noodles are soft egg-based affairs, tangled up with seaweed and sweetcorn kernels.  While perhaps dinner might show more elegance, for weekday lunches, Sakuratei is clearly designed to rip through as many hungry salarymen as it can.

Nice ramen but the menu was a bit misleading. Both the XL and additional noodles was 4 dollars each. Not too sure which one to choose so we ended up getting one XL and one extra noodle. Our glass had a lipstick mark on it and they were apologetic about this when we requested a new one. Overall, nice Japanese restaurant in Eastwood and the price was considered slightly on the higher side

A sweet little Japanese casual dining establishment hidden away from the street. Great value lunch menu topped with friendly Japanese staff. The green tea noodles are a refreshing summer dish.

Hidden gem at heart of Sydney business district. Fast service without compromising quality. Good portion size and good pricing. Good selection to choose from. Drinks also available.

A great Japanese restaurant in the CBD area. Many variety of Japanese dishes can be found here. I came here with friends and ordered ton katsu donburi. Tasted pretty good and decent in size. Might try their other dishes next time.

Great Japanese Restaurant. Food was super fresh and all made to order. The best agedashi tofu I have ever had, highly reccommend it. Beef tataki was so tender and the sashimi was so fresh it could have still been swimming! Great for a quick bite or an evening outside in the beer garden. Very extensive range of japanese drinks too.

Spicy tuna was excellent with just the right amount of spice and crunch. The miso ramen was delicious. The draft beer ice cold. A hidden gem.

Japanese restaurant in the office building opposite QVB. The ramen is delicious. It looks like an izakaya at night and has a good atmosphere. Happy dinner here
