For the best omakase in Sydney, grab a table at Haco, where the chefs choose what you eat. While the menu remains a mystery until the day, what you can expect is sashimi of the highest quality, signature tempura dishes and seasonal small plates.
Over in Kingsford, Niji offers fresh maki and nigiri served up by one of the best sushi trains in Sydney, as well as traditional izakaya-style dining. Highlights? Check out the chef's signatures; the kingfish carpaccio and slipper lobster tempura are particularly delicious.
Toko is a CBD favourite, famed not only for its striking cocktails but also its enticing menu of sushi and robata-grilled fare. The venue has a relaxed ambience to it, with bare brick walls, warm lighting and friendly service. When you visit, make sure to sample their imported whiskies.
For a jazzy Japanese restaurant in Sydney's CBD, make a visit to Masuya. The kitchen uses only fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and serves up some of the best sushi in town. Wash it down with an Australian lager or imported sake and relax in the eatery's laid-back atmosphere.
