Sushi E Japanese Bar & Restaurant Sydney
By Lisa Nguyen | Published 11 November 2023
Does this spot match the hype?
TL; DR | Summary
Sushi E stands out as a beacon of refined Japanese cuisine in Sydney. It will always be listed on top Sushi lists for good reason. The entire restaurant interior of Sushi E radiates refinement as you walk up the stairs and into its pristine set-up. But do expect to make a massive dent in your wallet as this is one of the most expensive a la carte sushi restaurants you'll visit, with prices at $8-10 for a single nigiri.

Sushi E distinguishes itself with its exceptional sushi quality. Every dish is made to order, ensuring that each piece of nigiri and every slice of sashimi arrives at your table in its most pristine state. The chefs have excellent craftsmanship, and you can watch them work if you're seated at their bar for a front-row view of this culinary performance.
Located conveniently near Wynyard station along George Street, you'll quickly find it once you see the historic Establishment building. As part of the Merivale group, known for upscale dining experiences, Sushi E's prices are higher, with single pieces of salmon nigiri at $8, tuna nigiri at $9, and salmon roe sushi at $12. These prices place it among the highest prices for sushi in Sydney.
Sushi As An Artform & Top Tier Service
The chefs at Sushi E are true artisans. Their commitment to freshness means that your selection, whether the buttery kingfish belly or the luxuriously marbled wagyu topped with a hint of caviar, is sliced only upon order. This means you can expect a mouthful of bliss, which helps justify some of their steep pricing.
Where Sushi E's menu lacks is variety that caters towards different dietary requirements, as there are only a handful of vegetarian options. So, if you practice a plant-based or vegetarian diet, your options may be quite limited.
The waitstaff complement this experience with their attentive yet unobtrusive service. They are well-versed in the menu offerings and are ready to provide recommendations, so you can expect a top-tier dining experience from the food to the service and set-up, as evidenced in these Sushi E photos.
The reservation system is user-friendly and accommodating, allowing diners to secure a spot for dinner a week in advance or lunch as late as the day before. This ease of booking, complemented by its high-grade sushi, makes it an excellent choice for business meetings or upscale date nights and gatherings.
Sushi & Sashimi made to order
Sushi E's delicate nigiri sushi and sashimi is made to order, ensuring you receive a delicate and fresh piece of sushi. Each piece is served on a small mound of perfectly seasoned rice that promises to melt in your mouth.
If you want to experience the best of the best and don't want the stress that comes with choosing your dishes, there's the Sushi E Omakase experience where you can leave your experience in the hands of the chef. Alternatively, there are also two tasting menus where you can try a pre-picked selection of the best dishes.
