How we read reviews →Glen Waverley's veteran omakase counter. nigiri and grilled oyster sushi at affordable prices.
Small, homely counter-seat dining with a classic Japanese omakase-bar feel. humble, slightly dated decor, but the theatre of watching the chef work up close makes it feel special rather than stuffy.
Counter seating facing the sushi chef, BYO wine allowed, a printed menu with photos explaining each omakase course, and a house granita to finish.
Founded by chef Hiro Nishikura, described by reviewers as Melbourne's first qualified sushi chef; long-time diners praise the traditional counter-service format and technique, though several 2025 reviews flag a quality shift since a change of ownership and head chef.
Consistently called one of Melbourne's most affordable quality omakases. around $120 to $140 per head for a multi-course set that reviewers compare favourably to pricier CBD sushi bars, though a handful of 2025 reviews after the ownership change felt it no longer matched the price.
