Melbourne, VIC
Harry currently ranks 10 sushi spots in Melbourne, scoring 82–90 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing.
Omakase is not the point. The point is whether the rice is seasoned correctly and the fish is at temperature. Harry penalises the performative. You do not need a forty-five-course meal to know if a kitchen can handle salmon.
