Chikyu-ya
means "Global Shop" and indeed it's a place to celebrate the
multicultural joy of the bond between Japanese people and Australians,
with the people who come to eat here being about 50/50 Aussies and Japanese.
But in Bondi Junction, which is a prime living spot for Japanese students
and semi-permanent workers (call it Little Tokyo and you'd have some semblance
of a point), what is delightful about Chikyu-Ya is its authenticity as
a homely inner-urban Nihon-style diner. This is very much how it feels
over there - satisfying chunks of Teriyaki Fish,
instantly downable pan-fried Gyoza dumplings, combination Sushi and Teriyaki
Chicken and some exemplary Tofu Steak and Tofu Salad for our veggie-burger
cousins all hitting that gong that triggers the now universal cry of "Oishiiiiiiiiii"
- that means delicious, catch up while you can. Owners Toshi and Kayo
Karube put the word "host" back into host-pitality. |
