Cho Cho San

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. Tasty food - good fusion of Japanese and western tastes. Liked the grilled prawns a lot as well as the rice! Very cool decor and ambiance, staff was neutral not too friendly but not rude as well. Overall a quite decent and pleasant place, would wanna come back sometime again!

Have heard of this place for quite sometime, popular Japanese fusion cuisine, had some not very impressive experience with the sorts of Asian fusion food, was quite sceptical about the high reviews of this place, but turned out quite an unexpectedly fine experience! was also actually a bit shocked at the packed restaurant when we walked in around 6pm on a Monday night, maybe the so-called post-pandemic crowd-phobia … Anyway, highly recommended to try it out, even myself as a big fan of authentic Japanese cuisine still enjoyed a lot, fresh and very flavoursome, the customer service is also a plus!

Had a wonderful dinner here. We were wished a happy anniversary on arrival which was a lovely touch. Sat up at the long bench table but the addition of pot plants made it feel intimate and private. The food was amazing and the staff took the time to ask any questions we had. The sashimi was a highlight and the cocktail list was fantastic. Potts Point dining at its finest.

Overall, a disappointing experience at Cho Cho San that I was hoping to celebrate Mother's Day at. Serving sizes were way too small for a main dishes averaging $30, which was over compensated with condiments leaving us all thirsty from the saltiness at the end of the meal. Customer service was good where one of the ladies made sure our table was clean, however the time between entrée and sashimi dishes before the main dishes was a sudden long wait of 30mins. For a party of five, we were squished at a table set for four where one side of the table was sitting shoulder to shoulder for two hours.. The XO Crab Rice was way too oily, as if my rice was swimming in oil. The miso in the Eggplant dish was too salty, the batter was too thick in comparison to the eating actual eggplant inside. The Kingfish sashimi was not fresh. There was a cockroach on the wall of the restaurant next to our table, close to our heads. The bathroom toilets were worn out and unkempt, crying for a renovation. The Coke beverage was mostly a glass of ice with a drizzle of coke. Safe to say I won't be coming back or recommending anyone else.
