Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There’s good, fresh, tasty food at this restaurant. And the staff are very helpful. But this “train” became a sushi a la carte while we were here when it was down to two plates on the conveyor belt. Half the enjoyment of a train is to see what new thing is coming past and choose. I really did enjoy the food. But the train experience left a bit to be desired.

Dined here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Had 11 plates of different selections. All were freshly made by the two staff in the open kitchen in front of you. The owner was an active player in the business, taking orders with a smile, from guests for special selections that were not on the train platters. The fish was fresh, and rice perfectly cooked. Pricing was reasonable along with the portion sizes on the plates. 8 coloured plates at prices from $4.50 up. Located in the middle of the CBD, upstairs in the orchid plaza.

Fresh sashimi , sushi made to order, quick friendly service and at a fraction of price of other joints - what more can you ask for? Not been here since new management took over a few years ago but I’ll be a regular now. Although a fairly small restaurant hidden away on the first floor of orchid plaza - family friendly, my toddler had a giant tantrum midway through but staff didn’t judge and just let me get on with it and gave a friendly smile . We’ll be back soon !

On our recent trip to Cairns we visited this exceptional sushi train. Located on the second level of the orchid centre, it is quite convenient in the center of Cairns. There is a great variety of fresh and delicious sushi and sashimi. It was quite busy when we went but the turnover of customers ensured that the sushi was very fresh and reasonably priced. The owner’s pleasant nature was welcoming and helpful. Staff were very obliging and sushi chefs were hard at work . Our favorite dish was the tasting plate, the salmon was amazing.

We are locals and this is our go-to for Japanese. The food is delicious and fresh, and the value is excellent. The service is attentive, but not intrusive. We have tried raw, deep fried, steamed foods etc and they always done to perfection. The chefs are A1. Owners and workers take absolute pride in what they offer here. Perfect for all types of groups!

Friendly, helpful staff and fast efficient service. Ambience/atmosphere is a bit lacking (you are essentially eating in a shopping centre/mall outlet), and it's far from fancy dining if that's what you're after. But the food was well prepared and tasted fresh, and the staff couldn't have been more eager to please.

Their sashimi is a must try. it is reasonably priced for portion unlike all other sushi restaurants in cairns, and it's fresh and delicious. There typically won't be much on the train when you arrive because it's not so busy there. personally i would rather not have food waste happening or eat stale plates soo yeah This place is great, any bad reviews are nitpicking. The owner is so nice. I won't go anywhere else to dine in for sushi now.

You can find this sushi-restaurant on the first floor. We had a very good dinner experience. You can take sushi from the moving line or order from the menu. You pay in the end the amount of little plates. The sushi was very fresh, good taste and a lot of vegetarian options as well. Service was excellent, you feel they have passion for the job. Would really reccoment.

The owners, Dean & Tara go out of their way to ensure each customer has a great dining experience. Whilst this style of sushi is predominantly catered to the Ozzie culture vision of sushi ( mayo and sauced ) there are still many options that provide simpler, healthier alternatives be that the seaweed and avo salad $5, salmon tobiko (aka ‘ships’ $5.5) salmon avocado salad $5, the fresh bowls ( tuna, salmon at $9 for small & $17 for large) plus Dean is quite passionate about sourcing great wines by the glass ($9) and trying different ranges. The only negatives for us was the absence of moist hand wipes - we normally bring a pack of baby wipes with us when dining places that may require hands ( when encountering a chop stick fail for example) but Tara happily bought me a a small bowl of water to use as a finger bowl so for us, this an example of what wonderful host Dean & Tara are: nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended

Good food though if choosing the sushi train option only has variety of different types of sushi doesn’t really have other options. You can order off the menu though which is a little pricey. It can add up overtime as it charges per plate. Food was good though

Really enjoyed my tempura, sushi and soft shell crab roll here. Restaurant is very clean and the service is excellent. I ordered the tempura and soft shell crab and it was fresh and delicious and served quickly by happy staff. Completed the meal with an ice cold beer. Perfect lunch! 😁

Saw a few good reviews so decided to walk in for lunch on a random Thursday. The sushi was fresh, the beers were cold and the staff were cheerful and more than happy to make any extra dishes we were after. Highly recommend! The veggie tempura was the highlight, but every plate was good.

We had a fabulous lunch at Oriental Sushi Train. The kids loved the train but were also able to order from the menu with the favourite dishes (avocado noir rolls) made fresh and sent along just for them. Gluten free soy sauce was available so my coeliac daughter was set. I enjoyed a local craft brew. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, the food was fresh and delicious and it was reasonably priced. And there were ice creams available for the kids!

After 6 years we couldn't wait to find this restaurant again. Sure it must have been taken over, but the food was so delicate and fresh.An ozzie guy from Macquarie Fields in Sydney - he caught our attention, he looked after us.We sat there filling our faces - food and wine. Had a great time there. The chef was amazing, she made a lot of our dishes from scratch - we sat and ate. Had to roll out, but it was ever so good. Have to tell you, we went 2 days later and couldn't get in! It was lovely to see Cairns slowly getting back. I won't tell you where we ended up!

Food was average, the person who served us literally stood beside us hovering around. We felt uncomfortable the whole time. We felt the white meat was undercooked. Meals were average. Location isn’t great. Definitely feel for the business during tough times that’s why we went there but sadly it was not good. Wouldn’t return again.
