Book NowAbout Asako
Tucked off the waterfront in Mortlake, Asako turns out remarkably fresh sushi and thick-cut sashimi without the downtown fuss. Mortlake regulars drop in for clean, balanced Japanese comfort—from golden, oil-free tempura to crisp karaage and fragrant truffle oil edamame. The kitchen cuts its raw fish thick and serves generous chirashi bowls topped with slices that clearly skip the deep freezer. Out on the covered patio, staff flick on the outdoor heaters so you can settle in with your dog over a deluxe bento and a pour of sake.
- Covered, heated dog-friendly patio: Heaters warm the covered outdoor space, welcoming guests dining with dogs.
- Truffle-accented dishes: Appetizers feature modern twists like truffle sashimi carpaccio and truffle oil edamame alongside crisp lotus chips.
- Bento and chirashi sets: Lunch bentos and generous chirashi bowls offer fresh sashimi and hot mains in neat sets.

Why Dine at Asako
Discover why Mortlake locals and Japanese food lovers consistently choose Asako.
Pristine sashimi and meticulously prepared sushi
Thickly sliced raw selections and authentic sushi combos showcase ingredient freshness that stands out across Sydney.
The salmon sashimi was very fresh and thickly cut, and the tempura was crispy without being oily.
张恩 Inventive truffle-infused Japanese delicacies
Aromatic truffle oil paired with fresh sashimi carpaccio and seasoned edamame elevates traditional starters into memorable dishes.
The standout dish for me was the sashimi carpaccio with truffle; the earthy aroma of the truffle paired with the fresh fish created such a unique and memorable combination of flavors.
Art 4 4ever Comfortable, dog-friendly heated patio
The covered outdoor dining space welcomes four-legged family members, complete with heating turned on whenever requested.
Dogs welcome outside which we love and they always turn the heater on as requested.
Kamya Ghose Cosy waterside neighbourhood setting
Tucked into Mortlake near the waterfront, the eatery provides a relaxed, scenic retreat right in the neighbourhood.
Very cozy Japanese restaurant located close to the water. Great place for sushi and other small bites, the food presentation is beautiful and service is great.
Susan Chen Satisfying, high-value bento combinations
Generous lunch bento boxes and deluxe combinations deliver complete, well-balanced Japanese meals at honest value.
The lunch bento special is a very good value. The karagee chicken entree size is a good portion.
Margaret Tjhin Reliable restaurant-quality takeaway
Consistent attention to dish detail and careful packaging ensures takeaway orders match the quality of in-house dining.
Even when ordering takeaway, the quality is just as impressive, bringing a true restaurant experience into your home.
