Kinoko Japanese Restaurant (NSW NORTH COAST)

We had a lovely salmon rice dish (the special) and although it tasted delicious, as soon as I got home I vomited it all. It was definitely the fish. I tried ringing them twice to let them know privately so they make sure to store the fish in a cold place but it rang out twice so I have to leave this review

Very limited choice and that's fine so long as the limited choice is top notch, but it isn't. Very ordinary, and a top price is paid for 'ordinary.' I naively assumed if you were there for dinner and ordered from the menu it would be prepared fresh. I was a bit confused when the waitress advised me I could go inside and get more if I wanted more. Then, even though I'd ordered from the menu I was delivered plates from the train. Surely, if you're not going to prepare freshly, you could take the items off all the little plates and serve them, nicely arranged. If I'd wanted a sushi train I would've sat at it, or better still gone elsewhere with more choice. The chicken teriyaki main wasn't great, and the chicken was dry. The tobiko ship was very light on with roe. The spicy tuna nagiri was probably the highlight, but maybe just because it was a suitable helping for the money. The small spring rolls were mainly crispy pastry with a tasteless gloop inside. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Be warned: meals may be around twice the size you are used to expecting! We suggest order in several small stages, or bring takeout boxes 🥡 Delicious 😋 and great value. Excellent friendly service.
