Best Japanese Restaurants in Sydney

Sydney has an exceptional Japanese food scene, a reflection of strong cultural and business ties between Australia and Japan. The CBD and surroundings have a remarkable concentration of Japanese restaurants — from casual ramen shops on the basement levels of Pitt Street to elegant omakase experiences in Surry Hills and Double Bay. Sydney's proximity to fresh seafood makes it particularly well-suited to sushi and sashimi, with several Japanese-Australian chefs blending the best of both culinary traditions.
