Rei Izakaya 礼 居酒屋 in New South Wales

"Great food great service. I’m here ever week now lol my favourite is squid"

"Had an absolute blast, you can't really go wrong with a Roku gin and tonic, and I asked to have cucumber in mine which they obliged 10/10. All the food is perfectly matched to having drinks, the service is consistent and comes out in a timely manner. The Oden, especially the radish hit home so hard I was having flash backs to being in Kyoto. Fantastic restaurant, will definitely be going back"

"Went here as an alternative restaurant since the original place that was in mind was booked out and was not disappointed at all! This place is great! The food menu was delicious, drinks were good, vibrant and busy place, great place for dinner— will definitely return!"

"Had a great time at Rei Izakaya! The food was fresh and flavourful, especially the skewers and snacks. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing — perfect for a casual night out. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to!"

"Highly Recommended! I’ve been to here several times and it never disappoints. The vibe is always welcoming and relaxed, the food is delicious, and the service is top-notch. A special shout-out to the boss, Seven Up – he’s friendly, genuine, and treats customers like old friends. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home every time. Highly recommend!"

"A great spot for late night gatherings or hit up after work in an authentic Japanese Izakaya set up. Vibe was welcoming with courteous hospitality from the staff. The dishes were tasty using fresh ingredients. I particularly liked their Fried Oysters, Grilled Seasoned Squid and Grilled Wagyu Tongue. They were all cooked to perfection."

"Overall: 7/7 A gem, Definitely a bit pricey. Oden: 7/7 Haven’t had much Oden, but this was an incredible introduction. Literally the best daikon I’ve ever had. Chikawa and rice cake bag were solid too. Lotus chips: 4/7 Wagyu tongue: 5/7 Seasoned squid: 6/7 So fresh, so well cooked. The flesh was snappy and delicious. Wagyu ribs: 5/7 Miso Wagyu paste: 5/7 Definitely not what I expected, but delicious. Quite a huge serving. Chicken nanban: 6/7 Red bean soup: 5/7 Ochazuke: 5/7 Very light and refreshing. Bit of a small portion."

"Very busy place on a Friday night. Grilled skewers were all very good, especially the thick beef tongue and chicken wings. Grilled king fish head was huge and delicious, beef tendon in the oden were also good too Don't recommend the braised beef tongue though"
