Elka Sushi

Footscray's best sashimi: ultra-fresh, made-to-order Japanese from DK Live Seafood's next-door team.

Bright, modern Japanese aesthetic with a marble bench bar where you can watch your food being assembled. Cute fitout with a Japanese drinks vending machine in the back. a genuine talking point. Small venue; seating inside and out. Made-to-order kitchen is visible and the process is part of the experience.

All fish sourced fresh from DK Live Seafood across the street. same ownership. Made-to-order sushi only. Seasonal rotating fish selection. Japanese drinks vending machine. Dry-aged fish cuts. Freshly house-pickled ginger served with every dish. Sake bottles mark the exterior. easy to spot once you know.

High. reviewers with Japan travel experience compare it directly to Japan and rate it superior to other Melbourne Japanese options. The freshly pickled ginger, house wasabi, and dry-aged cuts reflect deliberate Japanese technique. The seasonal rotating fish menu reflects genuine Japanese sushi seasonality.

Premium pricing. a chirashi for two or a deluxe mixed pack runs $65-$120+ for two people. Consensus is that the quality justifies the cost for a treat meal, though it's clearly a special-occasion price point for most. Chirashi bowl flagged as the best value item on the menu.
