It’s Sushi & Train is a sushi bar located in Sefton Park on Main North Road right across from North Park Shoppingcentre. The small restaurant serves a variety of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese dishes such as udon noodles, gyoza, chicken karaage as well as beverages such as sake and beer. It is quite similar to Sushi Train in which thereis a conveyor belt where the plates of food are placed. Similarly the plates of sushi are also colour coded to indicatedifferent prices.
Inside
It is a relatively small restaurant with a seating capacity of about thirty people. There are also three booths to the leftof the restaurant in which groups of four can fit at each table. Each booth has its own tablet computer stand in whichorders are placed and food is then brought to the table. The sushi conveyor belt is the main seating area in which asushi chef freshly prepares the sushi and other dishes to be then placed on the belt. The decor is very simple andthe place is extremely clean. Although I found the restaurant to be somewhat dull looking and dimly lit.

Chicken, Avocado and Black Rice Sushi
This was my first time having sushi that contained rice other than the traditional white rice that is used. I was informedthat black rice is much healthier than normal sushi rice as well as brown rice. The dark colour distinctive of this typeof rice looked beautiful on the plate. The rice was of high quality. It was moist and wellseasoned with a bit of a moreearthy and slightly nuttier flavour than white rice. The fresh avocado paired well with the lean chicken. TheJapanese mayonnaise drizzled on top tied the dish together well. It was smooth, tangy with subtle tangy undertones.
Tempura Prawn Nigiri
The prawn is fried in a light and crispy batter. It was crunchy and very delicious. Tempura cooking done well as it hada lovely golden colour and was not oily at all.

Lion Roll
The baked salmon wrapped around the roll was juicy and full of flavour. The rice was cooked well and moist. Thecrab meat inside was soft, subtle and delicious with its distinctive sweet taste.
Spicy Tuna
The tuna was tasty and the short segments of cucumber gave the dish a twist of crunch and freshness. The sushiitself overall was not very spicy but just packed in a little heat that was quite pleasant. It was delicious but nothingextraordinarily amazing.

Tiger Roll
The fresh pieces of salmon inside the seaweed and rice encasing is delicate and tasty. There is also plenty of thatextra creamy and tangy Japanese mayonnaise which paired well with the delicate pieces of raw salmon. The fishroe added a lovely pop of colour to the dish with its characteristic deep orange colour. It also gave the dish textureand light, slightly tasty flavour.
Sashimi
The salmon is beautifully thinly sliced and was vibrant in colour. The fish is considerably of high quality and is quitefresh. The chefs here have carefully filleted and skinned quite well. It melted in my mouth quite nicely. It is not thebest or freshest sashimi I have ever had but it was surprisingly quite tasty.

Ebi Tempura Udon
I actually prefer this version over the version found at Sushi Train restaurants. The hot broth is full bodied yetdelicate. The thick savoury wheat udon noodles is delicious and chewy. And the crispy, golden tempura prawnscontrasted well with the udon noodles and the broth. It was well executed and would be perfect as a Winter warmer.
Sushi Pizza
A variety of sushi you will not find at many other similar sushi restaurants or bars. The flat layer of white sushi riceand seaweed was topped with a layer of seafood meat, seared cheese and some sort of sweeter variation of theJapanese mayonnaise. It took an open mind for me to try this unique piece of sushi but it was surprisingly quite tastyand indulgent. This would be perhaps a good example as to how sushi can be not so healthy.
The couple who run It’s Sushi & Train are extremely friendly, humble and accomodating. I personally was not verykeen on the atmosphere. It seemed a bit dreary maybe due to the lack of lighting and it did not have the buzz andcoziness that I love about Sushi Train. Price wise it is very much on par with Sushi Train and other similar sushibars. Their variety of more ‘unusual’, creative dishes which not only includes the sushi pizza but also sushisandwich and sushi cake, would be a good enough excuse to venture out here and try these creative dishes. It is agood alternative to those living within the area or nearby for some decent quality sushi if the city is too inconvenientbut I would rather take the longer drive to the city if I could.
