ORIBU オリーブ

Absolutely loved this place. The service was impeccable from start to finish, warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. The menu is a creative fusion and full of flavour, with incredibly fresh seafood. Highlights for us were the sashimi seafood platter, the tacos and the crispy tuna. Dining alfresco in the heart of Parramatta was such a vibe, and the live music just added to the atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

First time coming here to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend and they did not disappoint. From start to finish, every dish we ordered was a banger. Kyle, who looked after us, guided us to try a combo we’d never had before. Wagyu steak with caviar, which honestly changed our lives for the better. All the dishes we tried was worth it and gave us flavours that went above and beyond! The service, live music, and overall ambience were amazing. Definitely one of the best places we’ve been to and definitely not the last. Thank you again to Kyle and the team for such an amazing food and dining experience.

Oribu is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole experience feel special. Viv truly stood out! Her recommendations were spoton and elevated our meal to another level. She really does know good food! She was attentive and cared about making sure we had a great experience. To top it all off, the live entertainment was phenomenal. The opera singer was truly spectacular and added such a unique, memorable touch to the evening. The combination of outstanding service, thoughtful recommendations, and breathtaking entertainment made for an unforgettable night. Can’t wait to come back!

Had their degustation menu here and it provides a great assortment of dishes but I personally was not a big fan. There were a lot of raw dishes in this degustation which got abit much for me. And while the seafood was fresh I didn't feel like it all gelled well together and were just an assortment of sashimi dishes thrown at you, with some cooked things at the end. Also at 250pp I wasn't too pleased. Worst dish was the mango ceviche dish, I could see what they were trying to do but it really did not work and tasted awful. I felt like they tried justifying the price point with the number of dishes served during the night. But I wouldve preferred less food that was tasy. Overall the cooked dishes were OK but nothing mindblowing. The beef skewers were pretty chewy. Very underwhelming for the reputation. Feels a little overhyped here. The presentation of the food is nice, venue is beautiful and staff are good, but at the price point and for the flavours/textures youre given, nothing was outstanding.

I went to Oribu because of the overwhelmingly positive Google reviews, but I left extremely disappointed. The cooking quality was subpar and flavours were off and lacked balance. From a technical perspective the execution fell well below expectations. The food and overall atmosphere were also not what you’d expect from a one-hatted restaurant in Sydney, especially at this price point. The restaurant is set in an open courtyard with a shack-style setup, which felt like a jarring contrast to the polished, classy bar right next to it. The food simply doesn’t justify the cost. The restaurant positions itself as far more premium than it actually is, very disappointing.

We tried the Artistry Chef Tasting Menu last night, and I found myself saying “yummy” after every single bite! For me, the best food is when I can only describe it as “yummy,” nothing else needed. Every dish was beautifully designed and thoughtfully combined. You can really see the hard work and creativity of the chef. The environment is quiet and simple, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Customer service was excellent! They made me feel very welcome and kept checking in to make sure everything was perfect. I had a wonderful dining experience here and would highly recommend it!

Oribu delivered a truly memorable dining experience. The food was exceptionally fresh and beautifully prepared, and the service was attentive, polished, and seamless throughout the evening. We were celebrating my friend’s birthday, and the atmosphere felt perfectly elevated for the occasion. The live music added a sophisticated energy to the venue, bringing the entire experience together effortlessly. I will definitely be returning.

Had such a lovely dinner at Oribu Parramatta. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, with soft lighting and live music that makes you want to stay a little longer — no rush, just good vibes. We ordered fresh sashimi, oysters, cod and unagi, and everything was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The kind of place where you end up taking photos first, then settling in to chat for hours after. Perfect for a relaxed date night or a catch-up with a friend. Will definitely be back’
