Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 9

We have been 3 times already, (twice before the Metro award last year, 2007), and we will continue going. The food is suburb. The best teriyaki chicken in the universe. The sushi is first class and fresh and tasty. We just love this place. We'd visit more.... but we live in Sydney. (DavidR - See my reviews (2) - April, 2008)

Nice ambience and excellent food but tables are a bit to close together (See my reviews (6) - December, 2007)

"Gion's combination of the freshest of seafood and a quietly reflective ambience won't disappoint..."

Brett Atkinson, View Auckland - December 2007

"The food is too exquisite..."

"The Rainbow maki roll featured seafood rolls uramaki or reverse style surrounded by a mini-tepee of buckwheat noodles deep-fried stiff and crisp as pick-up sticks..."
