This was one of, if not, the best dinner experience we’ve had in Sydney. We spent our anniversary here and the staff went above and beyond to make it a special experience. The food was amazing, the wine was superb and the staff took care of everything. Thank you!

Great food options for us picky eaters with strong and different preferences. Hard surfaces make it a bit noisy which was the biggest issue Lovely service and wonderful and accommodating staff.

    Had the loveliest time with my partner at Zushi for his birthday. They had a card on arrival for him, wishing him a happy birthday from Zushi themselves. The waitor’s were extremely helpful and smiley. The food was next level incredible. Special mention to the sashimi deluxe and our favourite the cauliflower Karaage. Credits to the chef. Music choices were lovely- we were singing along & it was the percent noise level so we could still have a chat. Thank you for the candles and happy birthday on the tiramisu (which by the way was just Devine). We had truly the best time and one of the best date nights we have ever had together. Again credit to your staff and chefs- you are all incredible and deserve the highest of praise!
