About Jazushi

Surry Hills locals head to this dimly lit enclave for multi-course Japanese dining backed by live jazz. Evening tasting menus move smoothly from kingfish sashimi to grilled scallops rich with garlic miso butter. The standout touch is the naked sushi—DIY freestyle hand rolls built at the table with crisp nori sheets and a spray bottle of soy sauce. Come daytime, the focus shifts to comforting bowls of black garlic tonkotsu ramen layered with springy noodles and tender chashu.

  • Live Jazz Dining: Nightly dining rooms feature scheduled live jazz musicians and pianists playing alongside dinner service.
  • DIY Freestyle Rolls: Tasting menus feature hands-on freestyle hand rolls served with crisp nori and tabletop spray soy sauce.
  • Black Garlic Tonkotsu: Daytime service serves up bowls of rich tonkotsu broth with chewy noodles, tender chashu, and black garlic.

  • Mastercrafted Seafood Courses

    Tasting menus feature precise seafood courses like fresh Atlantic salmon sashimi and grilled scallops with garlic miso butter.

    The Atlantic salmon and kingfish sashimi were incredibly fresh, and the grilled scallops with garlic miso butter were our favourite.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips for scheduling live music, choosing menus, and daytime dining

  • Plan Visits Around Live Jazz Nights

    Reserve for Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings when live jazz is scheduled to accompany dinner.

  • Opt for Tasting Menus for Pacing and Value

    Opt for multi-course tasting menus like the $75 Swing Set or $95 chef's menu to sample highlights such as DIY hand rolls and scallops with better overall pacing and value than ordering à la carte.

  • Visit at Lunch for Casual Bowls

    Stop by during daytime service to order traditional tonkotsu ramen or donburi rice bowls without evening set menu pricing.
