HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Sydney. Excellent service, ambience, value, prices and the food wow! The wagyu beef miso skewers, sashimi tacos, zucchini flowers are amazing and the black sesame ice cream for dessert makes you feel so good afterwards. It’s the only restaurant other than eating at home our family loves! Thank you Yakitori Jin we love you 🥰
