My kind of Japanese Restaurant

Teriyaki Boy, in the leafy suburb of Balmain in the inner west is definitely one of the best kept secret Japanese Restaurant in Sydney. Discreet with a quaint ambience, you will feel the homely environment as you walk in, their attentive and great staff will greet you, especially Miko, who has been the lead waitress over the years. This all Japanese team,  is run by husband and wife. Their culinary skills brings the flavour of Japan to Sydney and is simply divine. The presentation, taste, aroma and ingredients used are very Japanese in flavour - the real art of cooking. I have been all over Sydney on a quest for true Japanese taste, like my home stay "Okasan's" (mother's) cooking in Japan, then I found this place.

Amongst my favourite dishes are:
Steamed crab meat "shomai" with light sauce and mustard for dipping.
Sashimi and Sushi platter. Sydney's freshest and highest quality seafood.
The vinegar flavour and texture of the sushi rice, "shari" are just perfect.
Very important for a good sushi. Not over powering and not sweet either.

Other dishes that I enjoy are agedashi tofu(best "tensuyo" sauce ever), bento box - best value meal, salmon carpaccio, beef tataki, wafu steak and shogayaki, all are highly recommended.

They are BYO, so you can bring your favorite white or red to go with their delightful menu.
