I find myself still eyeing dishes that trundle by, thinking that if I split it with someone I'll be able to fit it in. <strong>Simon</strong>: LOL! I actually had to go back and see what you were talking about. I think I'm kind of use to seeing stuff like that to give it a second glance ;) One day, I will go to Japan and gorge myself on these fantastic takoyakis hehehe <strong>Reemski</strong>: I knooooow! I tell him that all the time. Hehe. My chastising doesn't seem to work though =( <strong>sydneyguyrojoe</strong>: There were quite a lot of .... umm non-Asians eating there and quite a few came to do take away. =) So hopefully business is not doing too bad.

When i was there,there wasnt much busines but i was suprised that the quality was good and the service better than expected I know there is a sushi bay in Liverpool now,when i went there recently, at 6pm on a saturday night, i was the ONLY one there!! Now i thought Penrith wouldnt last, im pretty sure Liverpool wont...........but i could be wrong!! i use to work out that way and was suprised they had it there,only because i thought there isnt many asians out there so will it make money?

I would say "only in Penrith" but I'm sure inner city Japanese restaurants do the same thing. If you look hard enough. Maybe. Wonder if that will stir up any more trouble? :P Some of the sushi looks nice and they all look quite reasonably prices too. Regarding takoyaki, if you find the right place in Japan, it's fantastic!

In this instance, it's not expected to have such fresh seafood in a place like Penrith because it's so far inland, but in fact there is! To be honest, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. I never said that Penrith should not have nice eateries. I am actually really glad that there are good places to eat in the west (and I actually live out west) just to prove that very same stereotype you've mentioned to be completely false. Good food should be accessible and available to everyone, not just to those near the CBD or east Sydney. <strong>abercrombie</strong>: Thanks =) I appreciate your support and glad you didn't misconstrue my tongue-in-cheek introduction. It wasn't meant to be taken so seriously. =P You should tell me some of Penrith's hidden gems! Would love to try them out one day. ^_^ Karen: Hehehe yeah they do hit the spot, don’t they? =D Oh wow!
