Rising Sun Workshop - Newtown

I loved the atmosphere of this place and it was so unique that it was a motorcycle garage. Food was quite good. We ordered the Chicken Heart Yakitori, Black Eggplant, Deep Fried Panko Shiitake and Prawn Toast and for the larger category, we had the Spaghetti Ramenese. The Panko Shiitake and Chicken Heart Yakitori were our favourite dishes. We weren't very fond of the black eggplant as it was quite sour. The other dishes were good.

They experiment with Japanese fusion and some dishes just really don't work. The broccoli with nori crackers was bizarre and had separate awful flavours that clashed and were quite overpowering. I'd go there for lunch, but not dinner. The lunch menus have some delicious items and dinner is made up of experimental dishes. The in house orange and lime soda was very refreshing and delicious.

Enjoyed the place, the environment and the food. Absolutely worth trying it, especially if you are into motorbikes. Loved the ice cream sandwich

Great atmosphere. the food was quite experimental and very tasty. would definitely go back. We went for dinner but i would like to try for brekkie

Cool restaurant in a motorbike workshop hidden down a lane way. Menu looked good but prices for a few of the items ordered like carrot curry seems to be overly priced given the ingredients and what it was. Liked the creativity in dishes with a contemporary Japanese touch! Wine list had a good range to try didn’t haven’t any of the cocktails. Nice experience but not sure if I would go back unless some of the prices weren’t tweaked.
