About Luck Sushi Japanese Restaurant

Tucked along Willoughby Road, Luck Sushi delivers proper Japanese home cooking and thick-cut sashimi without the usual North Shore price tag. Lower North Shore regulars treat this understated dining room as an unhurried neighborhood staple—quiet tables, polite hosts, and zero street noise. Longtime patrons often kick off the night by uncorking their own BYO wine over a shared sushi and sashimi boat piled high with fresh cuts. Beyond the regular rolls and crisp tempura, the real insider draw is the rotating specials board, chalked with comforting homestyle plates like tuna belly hot pot, braised mackerel, and rich gyusuji nikomi.

  • Chalkboard Homestyle Specials: A rotating chalkboard features comforting Japanese staples like tuna belly hot pot, braised mackerel, and slow-cooked gyusuji nikomi.
  • Sushi & Sashimi Boats: Loaded combo boats offer an expansive, generous spread of fresh nigiri and thick-cut sashimi built for sharing across the table.
  • Quiet Dining & BYO Wine: A calm, sound-buffered dining room where guests can bring their own wine to match casual multicourse dinners.

  • Rotating Home-Style Japanese Specials

    Chalkboard specials showcase traditional comfort dishes like braised mackerel and tuna belly hot pot alongside regular sushi options.

    Their "special menu" always amazes me at this place. They remind me of Japanese home-cooking which is modest, but very delicious

  • Showpiece Sushi and Sashimi Combo Boats

    Artful wooden boat platters showcase an abundant assortment of fresh sushi and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi meant for sharing.

    My favourite is their sushi sashimi boat. In my opinion, it's an exquisite showcase of freshness.

  • Peaceful, Relaxed Neighborhood Ambience

    Soundproofing and polite hospitality create an unhurried, calm dining room shielded from main-road traffic noise.

    The environment was quiet, good sound-proof store. I couldn’t here the noise from outside, that was the main road and highway.

  • Transportive Authenticity Reminiscent of Japan

    Traditional preparations, authentic seasoning, and familiar comfort flavors evoke authentic culinary memories of Japan.

    This place is lovely and feels authentically Japanese. Customers speak quietly, the food (chicken geikikara) is lovely, the staff are respectful and unobtrusive.

Signature sashimi platters and classic hot Japanese entrees

  • Sushi and Sashimi Boat

    My favourite is their sushi sashimi boat. In my opinion, it's an exquisite showcase of freshness. Each slice of sashimi melts in your mouth, and the presentation is a colourful array of tastes and textures that delight the senses.

  • Braised Mackerel

    last time I had the braised mackerel which is awesome as it is fatty, soft, but still retain the muscular texture of the mackerel.
