Tokyo Laundry reviews

The food was good the only issue they had no charshu

it got replaced with the terriaki chicken .. which to say at best was alittle …

Always a winner pre theatre. We had the tasting menu which was delicious, especially the salmon sashimi number with rice crackers and the green tea brulee was spectacular. Service is always friendly and fantastic.

Lovely place – been back a few times. The lamb cutlets and oysters were wonderful. And my partner really liked the beef tataki. I feel like the restaurant’s recent change to the menu means it isn’t quite as good – but hopefully the new …

There is a very beautiful atmosphere and ambience to this restaurant despite it’s funky name.
The decor is stylish, yet quirky and intriguing, but once the food and sake …

Nicely decorated restaurant with very attentive amd friendly staff. I really liked how you looked out on to the street with the funky chandeliers! …

Had the chef’s tasting menu with dessert and wine and it was delicious other than pretty filling too!
The grilled pork literally melts in your mouth!
Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Not able to get to Japan this year, my partner and I opted for a taste of Tokyo right here in Sydney. We did the set menu and it was just awesome. A great selection of dishes, wide range of flavours and textures and best of all, the service by the Tokyo Laundry staff is just perfect. Love love loved it.

We are very fond of Japanese culture, so much so, that Japan is the country we chose to visit for our honeymoon a few years ago. It’s a cuisine that is number one choice for us when trying to decide where to dine. We like the clean food, …

Tokyo Laundry was highly recommended by friends, so we thought we would try it.

Due to COVID the menu was limited yet the service was not. …

Late of a Saturday, we pounced upon an open table at Tokyo Laundry close to kitchen closing-time when many other establishments were already shut or fully booked. What a fortunate turn of events, because we had a fantastic experience. …

Great atmosphere and excellent friendly service. Quality Japanese food and the cocktails were perfection!
At first we thought we may still be hungry, but the meal proved filling and …

Came here for a Wed night bite with my husband and a good friend and we ordered:
1. Sashimi 3 Kinds – Tuna, Kingfish and Salmon …

Excellent food and service.
Yuzu sauce on ceviche was amazeballs. …

Such tasty food, sushi taco, shrimp popcorn, wagyu rump and assorted nigiri were all so amazing. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff who kept filling up our water and give us new plates. Highly recommend this place.

Tried the salmon poke and the curry. The curry was really delicious, tasting like authentic curry reminiscent of Japan. Salmon poke was alright! The salmon was fresh and the rice was really good. The bowls they place the food in were um, …

We came in noticing that there weren’t other people in the visible area (apparently there are tables at the back too), but not enough menus for each of six people. I think printing more menus would be a good idea, since it’s just one sheet …

This is a nice place to have a weekday date night. Food is full of flavour and service is excellent. Reasonable price as well.

Came in for dinner the other night, took ages for mains to come but the staff apoligised due to their lack of staffing that night and i was given cocktails and dessert for free. …

Sexy interior, fab + friendly staff. The food was unreal, I recommend the beef tataki + the miso eggplant and spicy edamame. Will be back.

Do not confuse this with Japanese food or a Japanese restaurant . This joint would not last a minute in Tokyo. This is cultural appropriation done badly. The strong hum from the air moving system is competing with a poor sound system. …

A great place to catch up with friends as they have a generous and delicious set menu which will definitely fill your bellies

Fantastic food and great service! Lobster tail ramen was unique, amazing & is highly recommended. Will definately be back soon.

Food was ok but nothing special. Staff was not attentive and could be bit better in looking after customers. Situated in a complex with lots of other places to eat so i suggest one finds something else unless one is simply dying to have Japanese food, in which case the Miso Soup was ok.

Delicious modern Japanese food. The wagyu beef was our favourite. Recommend.

Food’s superb and the service is commendable. Highly recommend the Wagyu Yakiniku!

Good selection of sake, food is fresh but too much flavour (in my opinion ). Ordered the Tomyum miso, nicely made, but not hot enough. Good for its price though.

The place is good. The food served is amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to ask them for recommendations. Will definitely be visiting them again #japanesefood

Nigiri sushi is great. Yuzu ice cream is awesome!

The food is terrific. Every dish is a winner, and the service is excellent. I particularly love sushi, and the quality of the fish they use is topnotch. But the other dishes are yummy. The tacos are delicious, as is the popcorn shrimp. …

Service was friendly and the tables are well spaced for chats. The popcorn shrimp was very special and worth trying. The miso salmon was plated really well and looked pretty but didn’t make much sense as full meals on its own. Would’ve liked to have some vegetables somewhere in there.

Apparently during Vivid Syd they have a different menu because I didn’t see anything similar to those 5 stars reviews at all. With a $23 chicken ramen, you only deserve to have a tea spoon of chicken mince. With a $25 wagyu curry, you only …

Wish we had longer to spend as the food, service and drinks were all top notch. We explained we had to leave in 45 mins so the waitress recommended what dishes would work for us and how much we should get for two people. We also ordered a …

Chic ambience, great food (special limited-time weekend collaboration with Ichibandori), friendly service

The modern decor sets up a nice vibe. Service is excellent – very attentive staff and the kitchen is efficient. We had the set menu and the dishes were great: tasty and unique takes on traditional dishes. We left comfortably full with our tastebuds tingling from the wonderful flavours.

Good drinks and service, food though…. Average at best.

We came here for dinner as it seemed like the reviews were good. However, it was …

Amazing service, very customer focused. Food was very well cooked and beautifully presented.
Highly recommend, will be coming here again.

This is one of our favourite restaurants.
The staff & service is lovely.
The food is just delicious !! consistently high quality & just beautiful …

Great food for a respectable price. My wife and I had the chef tasting table and there was enough diversity and flavours on the dishes for us. We like our Asian cuisine and would recommend it due to being so well positioned in the city.

Really delicious food and good customer service. Would recommend.

The food was delicious, and there was a great wine selection. The only downside for the meal is that the service was so quick. Before we had finished one dish the next was in front of us. At one point we had 3 dishes on the table.
Regardless, I would still go back just for the food.

Environment is good . Have good selection of lunch set. The salad is a slightly too salty though.

All the other food venues at the Gateway were busy the night of my visit except this place, perhaps because it’s tucked away.
The staff were very lovely and perceptive to our needs. Food was good with some …

Great atmosphere. My wife and I had the chef’s special menu and we were super impressed. Great food and service. Overall an amazing experience. Nice place for a date. Probably in my top 5 Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. …

The best! Flavour excitement that always wakes up the palate. Beautiful staff. Value for money. Relaxing, chic decor and extremely satisfying. The chefs’ efforts are superb without the arrogance from a high level of service. Keep it up! It’s a breathe of fresh air in the current over-indulgent atmosphere of Sydney food scene.

I know everyone always says this, but the positive reviews here have got to be fake. If the 4.2 Google rating isn’t a tip-off, the fact that the place is barely pushing 10% capacity during peak periods should be. …

Great Japanese. You must try the sushi tacos! This is one of my favourite dishes from here!

I must say service is very good. Thanks for a lovely night!

However, food was over seasoned. 3/8 dishes we ordered were sooo salty. Taco, eggplant, agedashi tofu were too salty and had too much sauce!

Delicious ramen, nice convenient location. Service attentive but our waitress seemed a bit annoyed.. maybe cos we asked to relocate table to the brighter section (where everyone else sat after we arrived). That didn’t put me off- Cant wait to come back and try their other items.

Food is pretty good honestly in terms of presentation and flavour. However, the service was bad. Dined on a Sunday, the waiter sat down a table of 5 with no smile and not welcoming at all. She seemed stressed the whole time running around. …

We shared the Chef’s selection. Diverse menu and elegantly flavoured. Cannot recommend enough. Timing of the dishes was perfect and not rushed, and friendly staff made for a wonderful experience.

Great atmosphere when chasing a nice lunch experience. The sashimi, beef and the nigiri were all very enjoyable.

Best place for a quick and easy dinner date when you leave things to last minute. …

Excellent service, delicious food and great variety of drinks. Can’t wait to return!

Food = very good
Decor = very good
Service = mostly disinterested/average …

Had a delicious meal on Saturday night at Tokyo Laundry! Hard to believe that people are queueing for Chat Thai next door when this place still had some tables free, I think its actually a little difficult to find as it is around the corner …

Went for dinner before a show at the Opera House. Really good food, great prices. Service good, although it wasn’t full by any means, but food brought quickly and empty dishes whisked away and water topped up. Left feeling very full. …

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and friendly. As, she took away my shared dish, I haven’t finished the chicken skewer yet, need the dipping sauce. Litchi martini is good.

The quality of food is actually really good. I’m not sure I like the layout of the restaurant, nor do I like the location within the centre, or the toilets shared with the other establishments, but the food makes up for it. Super fresh …

Went here with a friend for an occasion.

We were able to get a Groupon that allowed both of us to eat for the price of 1. …

Beware of additional charges on bill. Have read a previous review where a customer expressed his concerns with been overcharged. Sometimes, a true accident but when it happens quite frequently, something is up… tricky staff. I understand …

Food was scrumptious and the staff friendly.
Our second time to visit and we found the lunch specials a really great deal. Food well presented and so fresh it melted in my mouth. We are looking forward to our next visit

Love this place. Lunch specials are incredible and quite cheap, really quiet too even on a Friday. The katsu curry is a personal favourite. Great Japanese beer and a few good Japanese whiskys on offer. Staff are attentive and friendly, spitting distance from Circular Quay

Went for a date night during covid. Fantastic restaurant that doesn’t get too busy, despite having amazing food and service.

The food was insanely delicious, the set menu was very reasonably priced, the decor was nice and the staff were extremely nice and went the extra mile to make our night just that bit more special. Thanks to the extremely lovely staff and talented chefs who made our anniversary one to remember.

In Sydney on business and it was amazingly busy everywhere being the second last friday before Christmas, yet somehow this place still managed to feel like an oasis of calm away from all the chaos of the Quay. …

I am sorry to say but experience at Tokyo laundry was quite average. Service while pleasant was mostly absent. Also did not appreciate being reminded of time limit twice before we even had the chance to sit down. Food wise, most of the …

Good food and very quick service – the waitress was so attentive … almost too attentive .. coming back to our table every couple of minutes to fill our water glasses. Went with family and the teenage kids loved it. …

Food was ok but not the best I have ever had. Definitely not worth the price tag that is attached to it. I went during lunch time and felt rushed by staff to decide on what I wanted to order. Portion size was small and I left feeling …

The staff were BRILLIANT in hosting our group of 7, with super accomodating wait staff who also ad-hoc let us sing happy birthday to one our friends and provided candles to make it special. The food was delicious and big in portion. I’d definitely recommend and go again!

Had a group of 8, definitely average at best restaurant (average is an overestimate) Manager needs to be fired – Absolutely disgusting behaviour. He arrogantly decides to say service charge is in the terms and condition – ‘i covered all …

This restaurant is located on level 1 in the Gateway building in Circular Quay.

The service was absolutely wonderful and hospitable. …

The restaurant and service itself was fine, however there is a catch. If you purchase the groupon you get a decent meal, however my friends and I got up to leave and the manager advised “you have to pay a service fee of $40 because you have …

Stumbled across this restaurant last night on the last night of vivid.

What a pleasant, and unexpected surprise! …

Whoever left positive comments about the food in Tokyo Laundry must be fake! Are you sure you really tried their food? …

Service was painfully slow and food was average quality. Ordered drinks and took over 30 minutes for them to arrive. Food arrived 1 hour 15 minutes after we sat down. If you’re after decent Japanese food and half decent service stay away from this place.

Had the popcorn shrimp, miso ramen with spicy pork and the spicy tuna roll. It was all delicious but too much for 2 people. The popcorn shrimp and ramen were my favourite dishes. Service was nice and attentive.

First of all to be fair, I went to Tokyo Laundry with my wife on a Groupon offer with the intention to try the restaurant out. …

I haven’t eaten Japanese food this good for a while, food quality is a 5star but the atmosphere inside the restaurant is a bit noisy and different, sitting outside will make it worthwhile. The staffs were nice, Ricky is so friendly and attentive in your needs, made our night perfect 🙂 We will surely be back.

Nice restaurant tucked away in the Gateway in Circular Quay. Great casual dining for Japanese, offering tapas style menu, with little plates, big plates, sashimi and sushi! Staff are friendly and attentive.

Absolutely delicious. We had the 9 course degustation menu and all the dishes were very tasty. The service was top notch which made the evening great. Highly recommended.
