Sydney, NSW

Best Sushi in Sydney.

Harry currently ranks 10 sushi spots in Sydney, scoring 87–90 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$$$.

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.
