I have never had a better breakfast buffet in Sydney than Sokyo’s. For $38, you get a continental buffet, an a la carte dish and tea/coffe. Yes, Sokyo’s breakfast buffet is worth every cent of your money.

I highly recommend the full continental + a la carte. The extravagance of the buffet reminded me of the buffets that I had in Bali 5-star resorts, I was impressed.

Traditional “Choushoku” breakfast (fish of the day, miso soup, chawanmushi, Hokkaido yumepirika rice, nori, Japanese pickles). The fish was divine! The rice was cooked to perfection and the chawanmushi was beautiful.
