We eat here pretty regularly and can rely on the food always being just so... We prefer to eat in as the sushi and other menu items are best when fresh and served at table but when we do do take away its still yummy. When we eat here there's something for everyone, the teriyaki is good, the sushi is good and everything is fresh. Tables can be at a premium so book if you can.

Tatsuya in West Ryde is not to be confused with the award-winning Tetsuya's in downtown Sydney. Very different kettles of fish. For starters, it is not housed in a heritage-listed sandstone mansion but a modest corner cottage, squeezed between a car wash/service station on one-side and residential bungalows on the other. It's menu is also less about fusion and more about traditional Japanese dishes, and its prices are far from astronomical. As the premises are quite small, it gets busy early (at least for lunch). Get there early is the take-home message. It is all good here: the sushi/sashimi platters are outstanding, and they also do an excellent oysters platter. Tempura and katsu dishes (the latter include with salad and rice) also first-rate. Miso comes free. Prices are very reasonable. The only reason I am giving the place 'Very good' rather than 'Excellent' is that the table service can be found wanting ... that's if it can be found at all. It can very hard to catch the eye of one of the waitresses.

In a small place with limited parking this busy Japanese house serves fresh mouth watering sashimi and sushi that gets you coming back for more. It's not ideal for big groups and the decor is a little run down but like they say, never judge a book by its cover! Price is reasonable for the quality and servings but if you've got more than 2 people, make sure you book a table. Going solo is great as there are bar seats along the sushi table. Park in the west Ryde shopping centre carpark and walk over.... The service from the owner is fantastic while the staff are just average but since the place is so busy and crowded.. I'm not too surprised!! Eat, enjoy and run..
