Amuro

I came to Sydney for a filming project and stopped by one of my favorite cafés — that’s how I discovered Amuro , a truly impressive Japanese restaurant that stands out for its refined atmosphere, thoughtful dishes, and genuine service. The space is small and intimate, with warm wooden tones that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a hidden izakaya in Tokyo. Sitting at the counter allows you to watch the chef at work — every dish feels like a quiet performance. The food is beautifully balanced and seasonal, made with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. Every bite reflects the chef’s care and craftsmanship. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and their service feels natural and unhurried. Dining at Amuro is more than just a meal — it’s an experience that combines flavor, ambiance, and artistry. Whether you’re here for a cozy dinner with friends or a special night with someone you love, it’s a place you’ll definitely want to return to.

Had a wonderful dinner at Amuro! The restaurant/bar is beautifully intimate, love sitting at the pass and watching the chefs work. Staff were all very attentive and helpful with selection of food and sake. The food was amazing and the Sake delicious (for someone who doesn't usually drink sake - I thoroughly enjoyed the recommended sake).

I had a wonderful dinner at Amuro! The restaurant and bar have such a beautifully intimate atmosphere, and I really enjoyed sitting at the pass to watch the chefs at work—it added so much to the experience. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very helpful in guiding me through both the food and sake selection.

Best Japanese Restaurant!!! 😱😍🤪 I was intrigued about this place when I was scrolling through Maps with my partner. We were looking for a smart casual vibe to celebrate a recent accomplishment. All the staff were very professional and polite, and having a lovely Japanese waitress assisting our dietary needs. Everything we ordered was incredibly scrumptious, with the black truffle rice being our favourite! We can't wait to come back here for the amazing hospitality and food.

My recent second visit to Amuro was just as special as my first! The food is divine with perfectly memorable smaller dishes that are cooked and served in front of you. The sake list is extensive and as exceptional as the "kitchen theatre" on display. This experience is made more special by the attentive and warm service of the friendly staff who are happy to bring you on a journey of Japanese food excellence.

I had a really great time at Amuro, chatting, drinking and enjoying the dishes together with my friend. I definitely see myself coming back again to introduce my other friends to this cute little spot. Price-wise we found was quite decent for most of the dishes, but as there is no drink menu you'll have to ask the bartender what this may look like as we were in for a surprise with our sake glasses (but was really delicious so it was fine). The only thing to keep in mind is they do not take reservations until you become a regular customer, so until then it is purely a walk-in-only policy and the condition of entry is to order one drink. Also, note that this spot can be quite busy even during the weekdays so get there early if you can. I cannot wait to come back and bring my bestie here as I know she'll enjoy this place. I plan to visit again!

Some of the best Japanese food I have eaten in Sydney. Expansive Sake selection. Recommend wagyu skewers - delicious!

Absolutely no words to describe this place. Incredible service, staff are so friendly and helpful and kind. Food is absolutely immaculate, I have never had such flavourful Japanese food. Everything is made with love and the quality shows. Definitely found a new favourite spot. 11/10 recommend
