I've been a very regular diner at Sushi Wow for almost twenty years. However, no more! I turned up one night late last year - as I normally would at once a week - and at 8.20pm was told that the kitchen was closing and...that I could only take dishes away. Immediately after, other people arrived and were shown to a seat. I asked if I too could be seated, and promised to order only existing round going round on the sushi train. I was again told that I could take food off the train for take away but myself and my daughter, unlike the others who had just sat down, could only get take-away. I then loudly informed the young and rude waitress who was denying my patronage that she'd just cost her employee any further attendance by a customer of many years standing. My daughter and I then had a lovely meal another nearby restaurant which has now become our 'local". Like Hikaru, Sushi Wow has lost any ability to recognise and respect frequent customers. Or, seemingly, any customers. The food has always been okay at Sushi Wow. But the service - once okay - now sucks. It's a shame, as I now kind of resent the thousands of dollars I've spent there in the past. If they don't want to keep losing regular customers, they really need to train their staff about seating people who arrive before 8.30pm. for a 'quick serve' restaurant which supposedly closes at 9pm.More

If in Sydney and you want THE BEST sushi train, then this is THE place! You watch the chefs blow torch the food, presentation is top stuff. Hygiene - they are so careful, simply amazing. Not sure about the timings as some people have written...- but the service is swift, punctual and extremely clean. We love coming here. They probably like us as we usually eat at least 10 to 14 plates, and buy a bottle of wine from across the street.More

We arrived and offered a seat and a drink. Less than 5 minutes later we were told that everyone needed to leave as they were now closed.

This place’s food must be good if they can turn away business 35 mins prior to close. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Google says they close at 9, their website says they close at 10, we drove from the cbd, parked and were standing in line (next to be...seated) when at 8:27, with both a group of two and a group of three finished and about to pay, they came and told us that if they let us in we couldn’t order anything new and could only eat off the train. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽More

It wasn't busy which is unusual but maybe the corona virus is scaring people away. The food and service was up to its usual high standard and we walked away satisfied. Great variety of plates and dishes you can order from the kitchen. Highly recommended.

Very good variety of sushi, friendly staff and delicious food. The train self service system makes it easier to decide what you want to eat, definitely a place to have a nice meal than head to the nice bars around.

The food is always super fresh, great service, yummy and good portion sizes, we are always greeted with a smile. Staff very hard working and nothing is a problem. The place is always clean and well presented. We have explored all the Sushi places in...Newtown and the Inner west and this is by far the best. Well done Sushi Wow Newtown, just another happy loyal customer.More

We had a great lunch here again. They have added some new dishes to an already diverse range. A very popular place so you may have to wait a few minutes or you can get dishes to take away. Highly recommend the karage chicken.

I come here for dinner with my husband when we could leave work early to avoid the que that usually starts around 6.30pm. I always come back for the sushi here, the chefs are good at balancing the amount of rice and fresh ingredients. Love...the salmon skin on a skewer, highly recommended.More

When in Newtown its a must! its a clean restaurant, food is very fresh and of course you can watch it being made. Love this concept. Have a bottle of wine and dine in style. The employees are more than happy to help or ask...any questions, as this time we noticed they had a few additional meals and we weren't sure, so we asked and they were very yummii.More
