Tago-an

Really lovely Japanese restaurant with delicious dinner bento boxes. Broad menu, including a nice selection of drinks. 🍱 Ordered two bento boxes and the fish was deliciously fresh and the tempura was crispy. I'm not used to a bento box having multiple meats, so that was a fresh take. Cozy atmosphere and a legit restaurant in an area that tends to skew touristy. This one's a gem! 💳 Takes cards.

Service wasn't too bad little rushed but not too bad. No Chardonnay by the glass so we ordered a bottle. Edamame beans needed more flavour or a bit more salt maybe. Prawn tempura with the dipping sauce was yummy. I didn't enjoy the sushi rolls especially the part where the salmon was extra chewy. The prawn tempura rolls were tasteful as for the mains 'king fish teriyaki' and 'chicken teryaki' were distasteful. I did like steamed rice though...

Really lovely staff with delicious food!!! My meal isn't pictured but i loved it 😭

Went in for lunch and got the wagyu mate bento and the tempura prawn udon. Both dishes were quite nice. The wagyu was very tender and the marinade was perfect. The salmon was nice and fresh with no fishy smell. Unfortunately rice was a tad too mushy for my liking. The udon broth was very flavourful and tempura batter was light and crispy. Menu options were decent. Customer service was helpful and friendly. Food was presented nicely and came out in a timely manner. Have read quite a few reviews of the restaurant not being kid friendly (however, a couple came in with their toddler and there was no issue and the waitress seated them behind us). Maybe there’s no room for prams but as far as kid friendliness is concerned I didnt see an issue).

Good Japanese food, staff lacks a bit of friendliness. Fish and beef dishes were really tasty (sauce just slightly too sweet) and worth the price. Only minus is just the staff: First they didn't allow us to share the tea, meaning just giving one additional cup for my friend who already had water. She didn't even try to listen for understanding my question. Afterwards they rejected to charge our phone (when we asked for it) saying "we don't have charging here" which simply means they just don't want, because every restaurant for sure has electricity. Maybe friedliness is not needed at this place, as it's very busy .. So, to put it briefly, for the food I'd always return there, the service personell with pleasure could be different.

Probably the best miso I've had... Sydney has a way of every Bento and katsu-Don being the same. Reliably so. This is not the same. Starting with the presentation, the Bento is not in the mass produced rectangles. Attention is paid to the food also, and my curry even had veggies in - you realise the other places are skimping! Lovely little place, friendly service, highly recommend ( just be aware you pay rocks prices $$$)

I've come here on several occasions for dinners with friends because the food is always consistently delicious, fresh and of the highest quality. The staff are lovely and friendly too, with attentive service. Definitely will be a continuing repeat customer.

Don’t come in if you are not 10/10 hungry. “2 dishes minimum, we’re a restaurant” Quote the waitress. sort of new experience but I’m certainly not comfortable with. Food is great. Sashimi fresh and appealing, recommended. Overall a basic J-restaurant, service upgrade needed.

The sushi and gyoza were amazing!! It's a cute little place with fair prices and talented chefs.

So I've been all over The Rocks looking for an affordable healthy meal. I passed by Tago-An a few times and read that you needed a reservation due to its limited seating. So finally I made it and came and was so happy. For $38 I got the Fuji Bento which had a little bit of everything. At first I was suspect and thought I'd be left hungry but after leaving I have to say I am 100% satisfied and full. I actually had to walk around for 30mins to let my stomach digest.

This establishment refused service to our family because we had a small child. For whatever reason they have issues with strollers. Not only that but they were terribly rude about the whole thing. Ordered some take out because I couldn't eat in. It must be nice to only do business with the people you want. In America we call that discrimination. The sushi roll I got was okay. Won't go back and I suggest going somewhere else.

Great food priced right. The sauces for the salmon and the beef are out of this world fantastic. It's a small place and they fill up but the service is very good.

The service was good and efficient. The food was very much on the salty side though. The wagyu beef rice bowl was ok but it was odd to have a layer of salad on it. The sushi was decent. Nice to place to come but the food was quite average. I'm a nice quiet setting on the corner of the street.

Nice little Japanese restaurant just outside the Rocks. Recommend making a reservation as it is a small place, and when we went at 6 pm, all tables were already reserved. They said if we could finish by 6:30, we could eat in, so we did. I had the sashimi combo, and the fish was very fresh and I enjoyed it. One in our group ordered tempura udon, which came with a large plate of tempura on the side. Another ordered the sliced beef steak and rice dish, and said it was tasty. The food was reasonably priced - 5 of us ate entrees for about $100 AUD (~$70 USD) total.

Found this little gem while walking to a different restaurant. I had to stop as menu was reasonably priced and I loved the cozy atmosphere. I ordered a bento box which was the perfect sample of the variety of food this place offers....sashimi, hand roll, pork, and beef teriyaki. It was fantastic!!

One of the best little secrets of the rocks. Amazing service, fresh dishes and great little interior. Keeps us coming back!
