First time omakase experience, definitely was worth the travel coming from Western Sydney. The lunch value was really good for 3 people, costing $180 for a 10-course menu. Chef Jiho created a fun yet enticing experience with 20 years of experience as a sushi chef. Made the experience enjoyable with Chef Jiho explaining where he got the ingredients, how to eat each item, and watching a sushi master at work seamlessly. Definitely would come back again to try his 20-course dinner menu.

Amazing and great value omakase. Limited seatings and went for lunch. Dishes were all amazing. My favourite was the flounder - so creamy! Jiho was very informative and entertaining while preparing every dish. Amazing experience! Defs worth the try!

I have never been, so i have decided to try it out during the lunch $60 special. Whilst the food presented was delicious, ambience was great, I was a bit disappointed with the supposedly a 10 course lunch where 3 of the 10 courses was just a piece of sashimi (or two tiny pieces) each. Maybe the cost of the lunch is restricting what he is able to provide, but I left hungry and feeling somewhat dissatisfied. I personally feel that it was a miss opportunity to tempt me back to try out the full 20 course dinner...

Chef Jiho’s omakase is one of the best in Sydney! The food was perfectly curated and seasoned to perfection. All the flavours were balanced perfectly and Chef Jiho’s style of Japanese food shone through while still paying homage to the a traditional omakase. If you are lucky enough you will get to try his signature mushroom chawamushi that is perfectly set and steamed to perfection. Another highlight was Chef Jiho’s sushi rice, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I would honestly say, the best omakase I’ve tried in Sydney for a very reasonable price point.
