Ainoya Restaurant - Kirribilli

Try the unagi it's really good. The sushi is fresh, made by order directly. the price is quite a bit over pricey.

On the day we visited, this place was good, no more, no less. The food was actually great, but there was a lack of energy that evening. A little more attentiveness next time, please.

Very tasty Japanese food! Good service. Not a noisy restaurant so good for an intimate dinner or business lunch. I am a local so will definitely be going back!

This has been our family's first choice for Japanese for years now. I have travelled the world to great sushi destinations and Ainoya can hold its own for freshness, taste and service. Great as a couple and even better with friends or family. Order lots of entrés to share and get a main for yourself. Highlights are the Kingfish carpaccio, beef tataki, broiled scallops. And don't miss the aburi sushi - particularly the scallops. Family run, worth reserving on the weekend. I've had more high-end, creative sushi but that comes at a price. You aren't going here for the ceremony or décor. Ainoya is good value for the honest, high quality meals that they produce.

There are so many delicious things on the menu that it is hard to narrow down what to order. Maybe best to go in groups so you can order many more dishes. The food is so fresh and cooked (or uncooked!!) perfectly. Gorgeous Japanese flavours! It's been an institution in Kirribilli for years. Highly recommend!
