SUSHI ON

Two-hatted omakase counter in Kew where Chef Yong makes every piece of sushi a personal performance

Sleek, minimalist 12-seat sushi counter with calming background music and an intimate, theatre-like ambience. Diners sit facing the chef and watch every piece prepared in real time. Warm and relaxed rather than stiff or formal. the chef banters with guests and the mood is celebratory without being pretentious.

Two Good Food Guide hats (one hat 2024, two hats 2025). Chef Yong Jang formerly of Kisumé. Only 12 seats per session. maximum personal attention. Seasonal and rotating menu using locally sourced and imported fish. Sake pairing available. Add-on A5 Wagyu nigiri available. New CBD location opened.

Japanese omakase tradition executed by Korean-born Chef Yong, who trained at Komeyui and Kisumé. A minority of expert reviewers note slight modern/Western touches and non-Japanese chefs; the overwhelming consensus is that the technique and quality are genuinely outstanding for Melbourne.

Lunch omakase $149pp (16 courses), dinner $220pp (22 courses). Overwhelmingly considered excellent value by regulars who have visited comparable omakase in Japan and globally. A small number find it expensive relative to expectations. Surcharges apply on Sundays and with card payment.
