Located in the heart of Chatswood, Sushi Kaido is a familiar name for sushi lovers in the area. It's a super popular spot, so be prepared to encounter a line (especially during peak hours!). You'll be given a number, and all parties must be present before you are given seating. It's always nice to see a family-run business full of customers. Once you enter, you can expect a warm, inviting atmosphere. With a hands-on owner running around, you're guaranteed a homely feel in your dining experience.

Ease of accessibility is also why Sushi Kaido is popular in the area. Conveniently reachable via public transport, it's an easy spot for locals and visitors alike. Additionally, for those driving, Chatswood provides ample parking options. However, while it stands out in its locality, it may not be a spot worth travelling long distances for, as the experience, while pleasant, doesn't necessarily offer anything extraordinary beyond the local sushi dining scene.

From the special's menu, the otoro nigiri, though decent, might not live up to expectations, and I recommend skipping.
