The food was very good, especially the tacos! The food was extremely fresh however, the service was one of the worst services I have ever had. The waiter came to our table with the wrong food every 15 minutes. We had the 60-dollar set menu and it took 2 hours overall to get all the food we didn't even get offered the dessert which was a part of the set menu we decided to leave after the food as it was 2 hours! This place has great potential however training and better service need to be implemented as soon as possible!

I have not been to Deck for many years and I was keen to see how it had changed after the recent revamp. Our party of 3 had a table upstairs and had a nice view of the beach. Menu is simple - one of us chose the chicken karaage bowl and two of us chose to share 5 of the smaller dishes between us. All of the dishes were very tasty but highlight for me was the pork bun and the sashimi cocktail (a sashimi mix served in a cocktail glass with prawn crackers) - I don't remember the exact name. Service was good although we did have a little difficulty asking about some of the things on the menu but the wait staff were very polite and attentive. I will be going back.

Great location and the outside seating upstairs provides a terrifc view of the ocean. Average fare for above average prices though. And the coffee machine was out of order. Waitress not familiar with the menu and not an establishment to go to if on limited time - slow!

Comfortable and classy venue. Kitchen doesn't seem to cope with even a moderate crowd. Miso was luke warm when served. I asked for the hot dishes to come out after the sashimi, but was told it all comes out at once. Nice flavours, but only warm temperatures when it was delivered to the table. Seemed like it was just sitting in the kitchen. Wait staff friendly but generally ineffective. Management needs to lift its game.

Had to order takeaway (no sit down meals due to Covid...) and was looking forward to a Japanese meal as it has been a while - but must say I was quite disappointed. The Tempura prawn entrée was nice as expected but the mains were very ordinary. The Teriyaki Chicken was fairly bland and the Miso Salmon was just not nice. Meals were nearly cold - but I suppose that is due to the delivery company. Overpriced for what we got.

Lovely ambiance with nice views over the park and beach from upstairs dining (or downstairs). four of us dined on the set menu. One of us needed gluten-free changes for some dishes and delicious dishes were supplemented. All dishes were generous and all excellent in presentation and taste. Server was well-informed and attentive Highly recommended!

It’s so sad that this shop can’t even cook rice properly. Sushi rice was half cooked, and it wasn’t even sticky enough to make a proper sushi.. the rice literally fell out of the sushi seaweed paper as I tried to eat it. Seriously overpriced for what is such a premature unprofessional work. Got to hire a better sushi chef who knows what they are doing. I can do better than this!

We can highly recommend this excellent restaurant and the fabulous Japanese cuisine. A great addition to one of the best restaurant strips in Sydney and we will be back! If you enjoy flavours and experience, without feeling bloated afterwards, try this fantastic new restaurant. Each dish was different, with an infusion of fabulous and exotic flavours to give us something to talk about afterwards. Don’t miss out on this experience.

Not only does this restaurant have an outstanding view over Dee Why beach...even better is the delicious Japanese cuisine on offer. We have been to many Japanese restaurants and this is right up there! Apparently there is a new owner--drinks downstairs, dining upstairs with an open air balcony. Seriously great night out in Dee Why.

We went for dinner and ordered the $60 banquet. Amazing value for money and delicious Japanese dishes. We will definitely come back. The atmosphere and service is also very good. Just recommend wearing warm clothes as they keep balcony windows opened and it can be cold at night.

The revamped Deck Bar opened December 2020 with a Japanese cuisine and the food is divine - dinner menu upstairs and downstairs has a bar food menu with a great variety of beers and wines. A must to visit and a view worthy of a great lazy lunch

Five of us popped down for dinner, we were able to sit by the road upstairs which had a great view to the beach. The waitress was pretty good, although not too flash on English which was a slight challenge. No drinks menu so had to ask and when did, it didn't contain a beer list, so I went to the bar to find one, which did not seem to exist. The bar lady wasn't too sure about what was available, but I did find one which was was nice. Food order was taken quickly and one of our party asked for some slight changes to his burger order, just not to have onions and gherkin. This was to fall on deaf ears as it arrived just as per the menu... Not too good I ordered a burger and fries with blue cheese dressing. When the fries arrived they were not super hot but still nice. The burger was superb. As the food arrived, the waitress took away the salt which was very odd... I did get it back after asking... but she seemed very keen to have the salt sitting in another table with no people at it... It became a bit of a joke at the table... Just odd. All on all, the food was very very nice, a tad cold, but better to say, just not hot. Would I return. Yes So Service: 5:10 just the odd salt behaviour and not listening to the order which she did write down Quality of food 8-9:10 Total 7:10, but 8:10 if order was right. The salt shaker must be very rare thing to not want us to have it...

Friends and I went to dinner last night and have been going there for one of my friends birthdays for the past few years, We never had an issue until now. The service is a joke, as is the food, you have to order your food and drinks at the bar and it all comes out at different times so we don’t get a chance to eat together. One of my friends who ordered at the same time as me was still waiting after we had all finished. When I questioned the waitress who was walking around with my friends nachos she said it belonged to someone else! Then she came back with it and it was cold. They ran out of calamari so another friend then ordered a different salad with haloumi but was told they had run out of the cheese so she had it anyway and it was awful, cauliflower stank and she said it was the worst salad she had eaten lettuce was clearly on its last days. I gave her half of my undercooked sloppy pizza which was a mess, and a frozen pizza would have been better and cheaper. Cocktails are overpriced, again they had ran out of tequila so the girls couldn’t have margaritas. What kind is establishment runs out of these ingredients on a Saturday!!! Oh one that is closing apparently and clearly trying to get rid of what’s left until the new owner comes in. I am so disappointed, I asked to speak to the manager several times the waitresses barely speak English and I never got a chance to talk to him. I figure either he was embarrassed or not told to come and see me. Instead we received a bottle of cheap bubbles! Having had dinner and drinks for 12 people you would think given the circumstances of the evening and how much was spent, the manager could have made more of an effort. Won’t be going back, regardless of if they change management.

Hi Michelle, Thanks for your feedback! This is clearly not what we generally produce, evidenced by your comment of prior experiences and trust that you offered the same extensive review when they were positive in the past. We do offer our sincerest apologies, as this was a day staff were confronted with a number of issues bought on by external and unavoidable circumstances, culminating to one big issue with your table. In no way do we ever aim for anything other than excellence, but as with any venue that gets a big run on single items, deliveries at 7pm or later at night are unfortunately an impossibility. Whilst it does not assist you, or what occurred on Saturday night, they were remedied by Sunday morning and as mentioned, not a reflection of your past experience and/or reflective of future experiences. We hope that you do take the opportunity to return and see this as a one off. We have had a full review and implemented changes to ensure this doesn't occur again. Thanks again and wishing you the best for 2019. Regards, Deck

Hard to believe a restaurant like this does not have table service. One of the worst burgers I've ever had with a cold, wet bun and little taste other than vinegar. The salmon tasted as if it had been cooked in the beef patty juices. The bar tender repeatedly couldn't pour an appropriate beer and seemed embarrassed about it. The music was randomly heavy rock between the casual music on a weekday early evening. Overall extremely disappointing and needs a drastic change considering the potential of its setting.
