Other published opinions

Sydney Morning Herald Joanna Savill, 4-12-2007 "With two grocery stores, a pottery gallery, a ramen shop and this family-style restaurant, the hidden alleyway on the quiet side of Artarmon station is like a Japanese land-that-time-forgot (except that it's always busy)"

Sydney Eats 2008 "One of Artarmon's worst-kept secrets and with a loyal following even in an area full of Japanese eateries, Sushi-Ya, true to its name, does sushi well"

SMH Good Living Eat Up Keith Austin "Sushi-Ya, on the nearest right-hand corner as you emerge from the tunnel, augments its small interior with a sort of DIY plastic-wrapped beer garden. There's no beer. There's no garden, either. There are, though, enough wooden garden tables, chairs and umbrellas to double the number of patrons - and it needs it, too, as there is standing room only on the Wednesday night we eat there."
