Konakara - Surry Hills

The tempura here is the best that we’ve had in Sydney. The menu is succinct and not trendy, but everything is very well done. We love it here

Wonder why this place is a 3.1. Definitely loved it. Everything we ordered was so so good and authentic. That's real Japanese cooking. Atmosphere was nice as well. <br/ We ordered sashimi, beef tongue, pipi and udon.<br/ Sashimi was fresh and high quality. Perfect thickness to get the rich texture. <br/ Beef tongue was well seasoned and tender.<br/ Pipi was surprisingly sweet and tender as well and the soup was so spot on!<br/ I didn't taste the udon noodle but the tempura was cooked to perfect.<br/ ありがとうございました！

What a lovely spot with great food. Very cosy environment and staff were most welcoming and helpful. The food here was scrumptious. Definitely back soon.

Service was excellent and feels like a pleasant family-run restaurant. From the moment our order was placed, the team in the kitchen cheerfully cooked away and we couldn’t fault any of the dishes that we had ordered; certainly a testament to the food quality. Konakara will undoubtedly be a regular!

A quaint little place, we were seated with enthusiasm. Their menu isn't extensive but you have more than enough to choose from. <br/ We were impressed with the presentation and freshness of the sashimi. I also enjoyed the wagyu with sesame ponzu (went very well with the onion). Everything else was decent but had its drawbacks. The kingfish was flavoursome but was a bit overcooked for my liking so it was a little dry. The salmon tar tar don didn't have much flavour at all. <br/ <br/ With that being said, the service was attentive and friendly and it's a fairly new restaurant so I'd give it another go but it is a bit out of the way.
