Juju Japanese Tavern

From the smiling hostesses to the shoes-off policy and sunken seating alcoves, this hidden gem is a charmingly authentic slice of Japan in inner-city Sydney. Dine out on familiar favourites - sushi, sashimi, tempura and teppanyaki - or DIY with shabu-shabu, a traditional hotpot served with an array of meats, veg and noodles to dunk in the bubbling broth. A great spot for a quick post-work bite, linger awhile and it's impossible not to get caught up in the karaoke mayhem that kicks off later in the evening. A comprehensive cocktail list is available for those needing Dutch courage.
