About Ginza Izakaya Parramatta

Right along the Parramatta River, Ginza Izakaya delivers hefty portions of fresh sushi and simmering noodle bowls with welcoming, energetic speed. Cooks greet you from the open kitchen the second you walk through the door. Regulars zero in on the Tiger Roll—stuffed with crunchy prawn tempura and draped in salmon—alongside dry-ice-chilled sashimi platters and crisp chicken karaage. Slurp-worthy bowls of steaming chashu ramen arrive loaded with rich broth and soft duck egg with deep orange yolks.

  • Fresh Sashimi & Generous Sushi Rolls: Generous platters of fresh salmon, tuna, kingfish, and scallops arrive crisp and chilled, accompanied by popular signature rolls like the Tiger Roll.
  • Open Kitchen Greetings: Chefs in the visible open kitchen vocalize warm welcomes and goodbyes as diners enter and depart the riverside dining room.
  • Comforting Ramen & Udon Bowls: Steaming bowls of chashu and seafood ramen alongside hot udon broths offer rich warmth during cooler weather.

  • Picturesque Waterfront Dining by the River

    Guests dine in a comfortable, relaxed setting situated directly overlooking the scenic Parramatta River.

  • Warming Comfort Food for Cool Weather

    Warm, flavorful broths and steaming noodle bowls offer comforting dining particularly suitable for cool, rainy days.

    With the weather becoming cooler and rainier the Karaage Chicken Udon was also a good dish to order, wonderfully delicious and warming, it is a great Winter comfort food.

  • Agedashi Tofu

    The Agedashi tofu and kingfish carpaccio were to die for.

  • Butter Scallops

    The Butter Scallops were another favourite of mine. The Hokkaido scallops were so plump and juicy and the sauce was the perfect complement to the scallops.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality and presentation touches that elevate the dining experience

  • Open-Kitchen Vocal Greetings

  • Dry-Ice Sashimi Presentation

    The assorted sashimi platter arrives dramatically presented on dry ice, creating cascading fog tableside.

    Mobile QR code ordering includes dedicated request options to customize dishes and serve toppings on the side.

Before you head over

Practical dining guidance for ordering, seating, and portion planning

  • Order and Customize via QR Code

    Order continuously from your table using the digital phone system, which lets you add dishes or drinks on demand and request specific dish customizations, like having toppings served on the side.

  • Sit Outside on Warmer Days

    During warm weather or peak daytime heat, opt for an outdoor table facing the Parramatta River, as the indoor dining area relies on ceiling fans rather than air conditioning.

  • Pace Portions for Sharing

    Dishes arrive in generous portions, from large sushi rolls to hearty donburi bowls, so plan to order family-style platters to share across the table or prepare for takeaway.
