Tuka Parramatta

Excellent place to dine. The atmosphere service were very good at this shop. A gem in Parramatta. They have decent variety of cuts of meats,offering Wagyu and regular curs of meat. The ox tongue and pork cheek were awesome. But the meat in general was well seasoned. The mango daifuku with the mint was surprisingly a good combo. The shop can be a little hard to find but it's path is situated in between to buildings. Plenty of street parking and weekends it free at the parking lot or just park at Westfield's.

Tucked away in the street right beside a parking lot. Feels like you're stepping inside a Japanese garden when you first enter the restaurant. We had made a reservation for dinner and when we entered was immediately greeted by friendly staff who guided us to our table. Ordered the premium sashimi platter, the Wagyu oyster blade and ox tongue platter among others. It was my first time trying ox tongue, I think the taste is decent but a little tough. The dipping sauce was a light sweet soy sauce which paired very well with the meats. The highlight was definitely the Wagyu, the meat was incredibly tender and juicy and melted in your mouth. Sashimi platter was also very nice, very fresh but was surprised that they didn't have a sushi collection too. Service did kind of feel a bit slow at times but mainly since the restaurant was completely full. The ice cream in the end was also very delicious, some very unique flavours too like roasted matcha which definitely tasted very different than normal matcha. Quite a reasonably priced dinner between 5 adults ($500+ including drinks).

This was my first JBBQ experience, and it was amazing. Was expecting it to be like KBBQ, and in my opinion it is similar. With JBBQ, it's more of the quality of meat and its natural flavours, different dipping sauces and grill. The star of the show, undoubtedly, was the mouthwatering meat that practically melted in your mouth with every bite as it should. It's more on the pricier side if we're comparing to the ACYE JBBQs out there, but as I've never been I can't give a comparison on the quality. Aside from the culinary delights, what truly elevated our experience at Touka was the exceptional service. The staff exuded a genuine passion for what they do, and their attentiveness created an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. From explaining the various cuts of meat to ensuring our glasses were never empty, their service added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Definitely recommend.

Fresh produce & a intimate atmosphere, ideal for catch ups, occasions or that special date night Quality was on point. I would recommend the set menu so you can get a bit of everything. It’s a bit on the higher price side if you order single dishes. Vibe and decor made it feel like we are in Japan. This hidden Gem is a must go to for clean fresh bbq meat. Service was great!
