“Welcome to the very first ‘Bentastic place!’ I wasn’t aware of this, but this little place has an Eatability rating of 9.5/10, which is pretty awesome. If I am in the mood for Sushi, I definitely want to come here” – Ben

This has got to be one of the best and cheapest Japanese restaurants in Sydney. It’s tucked away on Stanley St in Darlinghurst, but well worth fighting for a parking spot and going.

Inside

Not only is the food really tasty, but its quite cheap too. I go and eat a feast with my girlfriend and wouldn’t spend more than $25.00 in total.

Sushi on Stanley Menu (Side 1)

I managed to snap a photo of their menu, which outlines there prices (as of 15/9/2011). I don’t think I will be taking photos of the menus at other places, but this was a good quick way to highlight how cheap their food is!

Sorry about the above photo being a bit blurry in some areas. Unfortunately I snap most of my photos with my iPhone (I haven’t gotten to the point of bringing a DSLR with me to take photos).

Mini Avocado Rolls

I know it’s poor form to take photos of a dish after you have started eating it, but this is the problem with Sushi on Stanley – the moment you get the food, you want to eat it! I have been there on 3 occasions and tried to take photos but wolfed down the good food before I remembered to snap some shots. Alas we had taken one bite of the each of our respective sushi orders and I’ll just include them because they highlight my next point quite well.

Salmon & Avocado Roll ($4.00) + Teriyaki Chicken & Cucumber Roll ($4.00)

Take a look at those sushi rolls… notice anything? how about the sheer amount of salmon vs. rice ratio in the roll? It is epic. Most places give you the smallest amount of filling and more rice, but at Sushi on Stanley you get portions like these. I typically order the Mini Avocado rolls (previous photo), but after trying my gf’s rolls (above) I am a convert.

Chicken Teriyaki

I am at a loss to describe how amazing their Chicken Teriyaki is. It is tasty, sweet and sticky… The only problem with it is that you feel the desire to consume a bucket load of it. This is the one dish I would recommend you HAVE to try.

Fried Dumpling & Chicken Teriyaki Combo ($10.50)

I picked the ‘Teriyaki & Dumpling Combo’ and of course had the Chicken Teriyaki (see previous comments). Whilst their fried dumplings aren’t nearly as good as Ichi Ban Boshi’s Gozya (to be reviewed at a later date), they are pretty nice. The entire set only costs $10.50, which is great.

The service is usually pretty good, unless you are sitting on an outside table and the waitresses don’t see you.

Read Eatability’s reviews of Sushi on Stanley and head over and try it, you won’t be displeased.
