Melbourne, VIC
Best Sushi in Melbourne.
Harry's top 10 sushi spots in Melbourne score 77–87 on the Harry Score.
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.
