Asadal - Parramatta

Took away Sushi & sashimi medium size... all fresh and lovely presentation. But.... the portion size against the price I paid... bit disappointing. Paid $52, I don't think it was worth it.

Was absolutely disappointed with the experience here. The Mix of both Korean and Japanese cuisine made it confusing and inauthentic. They made us order 2 servings of pork belly as a minimum and when we asked if we could do one serving of pork belly and one serving of marinated beef they said no and couldn't give a good reasons why. The dishes were really average at best, but the sushi didn't really taste fresh at all. Wouldn't recommend this place to be honest.

Early Sunday night dinner meant that we were the only people at the restaurant for most of the time. We ordered 2 bento boxes. And we both thought they were average. The best part was the salmon "sushi" and the chicken. The rest was just average. The teriyaki chicken lacked flavour so much so that it didn't feel marinated at all. I felt like I was eating plain chicken at some parts. The gyoza honestly was awful. I'm not sure what was inside it (fish maybe) but it just didn't work well. Service was also very average and quite inattentive, especially given it was almost empty. There was also nothing to offer in terms of dessert which was a shame since I was still hungry after finishing this.

We decided to try somewhere new in paramatta, so we steered away from the usual eating district along Church St. Asadal serves both Japanese and Korean dishes so we thought we'd give it a go. We went during a public holiday and they were pretty empty, we were the only dining customers after a table left before us. Service wasn't that great, I had to wave them down a few times before they came over to take our order and the sushi set we ordered took so long to prepare, I was pretty much full by the time it arrived ???? Food was alright tasting.

It is surely quiet here on random weekdays but its got some good quality feed! Please try the sushi rolls, such great quality and at decent prices. The present it so well. The let down was the edaname.... it had salt chucked on it (see pic). However the remainder of the sitting we had an enjoyable night. Gyoza was crunchy, the soft shell crab was crunchy and the sushi rolls made to order were so perfect that one plate was enough for one. Its a bit of a walk from the station,the decor is a little tired but otherwise great place for lunch.
