Sushi Tengoku might not be a big restaurant, but every customer who has dined in Sushi Tengoku always leaves the place with a big grin on their faces. Sushi Tengoku is definitely a must-stop-by restaurant for any sushi eater in Sydney!

 

 The first time I dined in Sushi Tengoku, I was very appaled by the crowd inside the restaurant. One can definitely tell the place itself doesn't look that great. Interior looks very mediocre, and I could only see maximum of two waitresses running around taking orders and serving the foods the entire time I was there. To be honest, my first impression of Sushi Tengoku wasn't very great. However, as soon as my foods have arrived on the table, I was quick to change my mind!

I'm not a fan of wasabi. In fact, I despise wasabi with all of my heart, despite knowing the goodness and importance of eating wasabi to kill of the germs when eating raw foods, especially sashimi. That is why, when I ordered my foods to the waitress, I was very pleased when she gave me the option to seperate the wasabi from the foods that originally should have included wasabi in it. This option makes it very convenient for people like me or for the people who loves to eat wasabi when enjoying their meals. It certainly saved me the hassle from having to scrape the wasabis from each and every single foods before I could enjoy them!



The first food that came to my table was Asaburi Oyster. The oysters were very soft and sweet, and the rice below the oysters were firm and sweet as well! The mayonnaise sauce has to be my favourite part! It spreads in my mouth as soon as I placed it on my tongue as its slightly creamy sourness complements the sweetness of the oysters. I lost count as to how many I have eaten the oysters that night, but they were really addicitve!



The next food that I thoroughly enjoy was Asaburi Salmon. As the name implies, the way the food was cooked was very similar to Asaburi Oyster, only with salmons as the topping. The flavour of salmon in this dish was not very rich, but still has the same soft and chewy texture as Asaburi Oyster. I would, however, prefer Asaburi Oyster over Asaburi Salmon if i have to make a decision between the two!



My last menu, gyoza, was very pleasantly surprising! Unlike any other gyozas that I have eaten before, Sushi Tengoku's gyoza resembles more towards a xiao long bao: both dishes contain a spoon size of soup and pork meat as the fillings! However, unlike xiao long baos, Sushi Tengoku's gyoza have a thin yet crispy texture for its outer layer. The taste of each gyoza is not that intense, allowing the consumer to finish all 7 gyozas without having to feel tired of it! Perfect for your afternoon snack!


For drinks, my and my companions were given ocha, or tea, as complementary instead of tap water! As a tea-addict, I was surely pleased by the complementary beverage! Customers can even ask for re-fills without having to pay additional charges!

 

QueTo? The first time when I was looking for a place to have my lunch, this store attracted me. Actually, I was attracted by the name of the store........ Just out of curiosity, I went into the store. There was no paper based menu, you could see all the dishes with a specific number on a big board. When you are ready to order, what you do is just tell the number you choose to the server.

 After taking the order, it will take 2 to 5 minutes, then you number will be callled. I tried the spicy seafood noodle, it's pretty good, especially the soup, not very spicy but very tasty. My friend told me that BBQ seafood noodle was kind of sweet, but also very decilious.(Honesly, I don't like sweety food.).

Anyway,I strongly recommend those people who like Korean style food, you won't regret that!!!

Suminoya has been known as an authentic charcoal grilled BBQ restaurant since 2000. It's an Japanese style resaurant, which is famous for Yakiniku-fresh, seasoned ingredients such as meat, seafood and vegetables are placed on a mesh and grilled over a direct flame.

What i want recommend today is a fairly special dish-Special Beef Tongue. Yeah, you heard me!!!! Tongue..., OMG, the first time when I saw the name i thought it was terrible. In my mind, the most weird thing i have ever eaten was snake......are you kidding!!! people can eat anything if they want......

Some pictures show the process of how to grill beef tongue:

Tian Tong- the name of the restaurant, is originated from a road name in ShangHai, China. Although it's a new restaurant in Australia, the reputation of it spread all over China.

What I want to recommend now are two pieces of dishes in Tian Tong:

1. Poached Sliced Beef in Spicy & Pungent Sauce
