The very best and inexpensive Japanese in the area. Sashimi Seafood and beef capparcio are particularly good. No bookings but easier to get into than Shanghai Nights, which is nearby. Both allow BYO and there is a Choice One nearby on Liverpool Road.

My very secret local fishmonger!. This is where all the local Italians and Greeks buy their fish and oysters. Cheaper than Sydney fish markets and if you're lucky you can park directly at the front door

Although there is a Choice One discount liquor store in nearby Ashfield, The Summer Hill Wine shop (down the road) has been there for >30 years and has an outstanding range of quality wines and very helpful and knowledgeable staff who are down-to-earth.
