About Hiroba Strathfield

Run by a dedicated couple right beside the station, Hiroba turns out hand-sliced sashimi and homestyle Korean classics that outclass everyday takeout. Rice for the nigiri is shaped by hand with seasoned care, while bento boxes arrive stacked with light tempura, buttery salmon, and crisp tonkatsu. Regulars mix Japanese staples with bowls of japchae or spicy hwae naengmyeon, washed down with cold Asahi and soju before catching the train.

  • Stacked Bento Sets: Generous bento boxes arrive stacked with crisp tempura, pristine sashimi cuts, and teriyaki salmon.
  • Japanese & Korean Menu: The menu blends Japanese sushi and sashimi with comforting homestyle plates like bulgogi, japchae, and cold noodles.
  • Hands-On Couple Operation: The longtime owner-chef duo personally slices the fish, cooks every hot dish to order, and attends to tables.

Freshly prepared Japanese favorites, comforting Korean dishes, and sincere neighborhood hospitality right by Strathfield station.

  • Carefully Shaped Nigiri and Fresh Cuts

    Nigiri and sushi rolls are shaped carefully by hand rather than mass-produced, delivering superior texture and well-seasoned rice.

    The rice is so well seasoned and shaped by hand - nothing falls apart when you dip into soy sauce.

  • Versatile Korean and Japanese Menu Spread

    The dual menu satisfies diverse cravings in one table order by pairing traditional sushi and bento with comforting Korean classics.

    There is a combination of sushi with other Korean foods and soups which makes it even better for the variety.

  • Heartfelt Relatives-Home Hospitality

    Guests are personally attended to by the elderly owners who prepare meals and serve guests directly, creating a deeply welcoming atmosphere.

    It definitely felt like eating at your relatives home rather than a restaurant.
