Chattie's Komachi

This is a Japanese owned cafe/restaurant in Chatswood, Sydney.

They've been around for a year but I didn't discover them until recently.

So far, I've been there for dinner, lunch and take away lunch.

They use rice called "Kita Akita Komachi" from Akita, Japan. I always knew delicious Akita Komachi brand rice but I never heard of Kita (means North) Akita Komachi rice. It was SO tasty!
I dislike so called Asian or short grain rice from supermarkets so I usually Japanese rice from Japanese groceries. Yes I know it's a lot more expensive but for me, it's worth it.


You can buy Kita Akita Komachi rice from this cafe. There are small and big sacks available.

I loved their hamburg stake. It was so tasty. My husband loved his Katsu curry. Usually katsu we find in other shops are dry and tough. But this one was soft but still crunchy. It was so juicy too.

We also tried dessert which was made by rice flours. There were daily free cheese cakes available too.

When we went back there for lunch, unfortunately it was really busy and there were only 3 staff. We ended up waiting for a long time. We did receive apology from the owner. I'm not sure if one of their staff was absent or they were not used to with full capacity.

Their food is seriously great but in terms of service, they might want to improve a bit? All the staff were very friendly but I noticed there were few things they could do to minimise the waiting time.

Until they improve that part, perhaps, we should avoid busy lunch time. But we'll definitely go back there again.
