Sydney City - Sushi Hotaru (Bathurst Street)

Photo: Sushi Hotaru (on Bathurst Street) 

Grilled Spicy Salmon Nigiri, Grilled Spicy Scallop and Mackerel Nigiri, 

Quality: 4 nomnoms out of 5

Service: 3.5 nomnoms out of 5

Pricing: $ - $$ (drinks are $ and sushi plates are $ but the meals are <$15)

The Nomnomgram!

•  The Quality of the food at Sushi Hotaru on Bathurst Street is pretty good. They're not as busy as the main one in the Victoria Galleries (George St) so their food quality is a lot more fresh. It's quite consistent at any time of the day. They have a sushi train as well as ordering off the menu and you can see them preparing the sushi's in front of you which is always entertaining =P

• The Service there is generally very good, unless they're really busy then they do get a little bit iffy and seem very grumpy but they're just stressed so it's understandable. The girls at the front desk are very friendly and they often yell out greetings in Japanese and etc. It's also very convenient to eat here because they are very high tech with their ordering system as they have iPads for you to order off. They also have very prompt service which is awesome especially when your hungry! 

• The Pricing of the plates are pretty cheap each plate of Sushi and side dishes are $3. They also have main meals as well, such as rice dishes, Seafood Udon Hot Pots, Sashimi and etc, which are around $10. They also sell Alcohol as well as cocktails and mocktails (which is rather exciting ;) mmm...) and the drinks depends on what you want as well.. so it will be about $ - $$. I'd reckon an average meal would probably cost about $20 odd dollars including a drink..? 

• The Quantity of the meals are pretty average, like 2 nigiri's per $3 plate? They have the full sized meals like the Seafood Hotpot Udon and etc and they're enough to share between 2 people. 

*** Side Notes

Sushi Hotaru opened up its first store in 

Sydney CBD in The Victoria Galleries and I 

always went there until they opened up 

their second store just down the road on 

Bathurst St. Personally I think the consistency 

and food quality is a lot better at the Bathurst 

St store because it's not as busy and the food 

is always great AND you don't have to wait 

agessss for a seat! (woot! SCORE!) 

I personally prefer going to places where I 

don't have to wait YEAAAARS for a seat and 

especially when its really busy, it takes a 

long time to get service and then everyone 

is grumpy cause its so busy and it becomes 

a domino effect and everyone gets all pissy 

and grumpy faced. 

Nevertheless! If you are in Sydney, you MUST 

go to Sushi Hotaru whether its the one in the 

Galleries or the one on Bathurst street! I've 

taken quite a few friends there and introduced 

them to the sushi place and now all of us can't 

keep ourselves away from that delectable place!

Ps... They have really awesome Chicken wings and all the dishes in the photo above is 

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! Especially the Grilled Salmon Hand roll…. Oh-my-potatoes! When it's fresh, it literally just melts in your mouth and this is making me hungry even though I just had Sushi Hotaru today TT.TT 

PPS! They also have a Green Tea drink with a big scoop of Green tea on top and its just beautiful *droooool* There is just too much deliciousness from that place!


Anyways, Thats all for today, Keep in touch for daily blogs on all the delicious places you can visit when you're in Sydney!

Have a Super DOOOPER night and I'ma make you drool tomorrow ;)

Aaannd! Keep Smiling!
