Die besten Izakayas in Haberfield

Regularly visit Nakano Darling and am never disappointed

Fantastic food and service, so special! It feels like an authentic little restaurant you find in Japan. Highly recommend!

Excellent food skewers fantastic, nice beers as well

Izakaya Masuya is an absolute gem in the heart of Sydney’s CBD! We selected it for our last evening in Sydney, and it turned out to be one of the best meals we had during our entire 3-week stay. From start to finish, everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. We started with the Salmon Sashimi and the Salmon & Avocado Salad—both were delicious! Next time, we’d probably skip the sashimi and just enjoy the generous portion of the salad, as it was quite large but absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had the Teriyaki Salmon and the Wagyu Tenderloin, which was hands down the best we’ve ever had at a Japanese restaurant. The Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the flavors were incredible. If we had dined here earlier during our stay, we would’ve definitely come back for a second visit. If you're in Sydney and craving amazing Japanese food, Izakaya Masuya is a must-visit! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town. Highly recommended!

Food was delish! Items on the chef’s menu is highly recommended. Highlights were the aburi salmon, zucchini stuffed with prawn and chicken meatball. Dog friendly seats outside, but VERY HOT as there is no shade and the sun sets opposite of the store which shortly became very uncomfortable. Waiters were very friendly but because we were outside, we couldn’t flag them if we wanted to order more food/drinks. Would come here again but probably come after the sun sets!
