We enjoyed dinner at Osaka Trading Co. Our server was lovely and particularly helpful in determining a meal for my u10 son, as they do not offer a children’s menu. We will certainly return.

It was not bad. Japanese style kinda higher end pub food in an upscale food court with some sushi and sashimi on offer as well. I had picked it for a Valentines dinner but it wasn't really the right atmosphere. It would be a good place for casual lunch or dinner if you're in the area.

Our favourite local and the best Japanese food in Sydney. Highlights tonight were the Piri-Kara Cucumber and the special Salmon Carpaccio which was incredible! Chefs, service and staff are all amazing.

Once again, best Japanese in Sydney. Even better than the overly rated Nobu at Crown.

Another wonderful experience last night at O.T.C. ; our favourite Japanese restaurant in the Inner West. It was busy but the food and service were not compromised. Tried sake with our meal (Ramen) which was lovely.
