About Sushi Bar Rashai

Behind an unassuming Parramatta Road entrance, this Annandale dining room captures the understated warmth of a neighborhood Tokyo diner. Run entirely by a husband-and-wife duo handling both the sushi counter and the floor, the kitchen turns out cut-to-order nigiri, generous salmon platters, and simmering chanko hotpot alongside crisp squid karaage. Regulars rely on the kitchen well past the standard suburban dinner hour—trading late into the night until midnight with teapots of roasted genmaicha and grilled salmon rolls.

  • Husband-and-Wife Craft: The entire dining room and kitchen are run solely by a husband-and-wife team, delivering genuine hospitality from prep to floor service.
  • Late-Night Dining Until Midnight: Full kitchen service runs until midnight, offering late-night sit-down dining and takeaway long after most neighborhood spots close.
  • Generous Homestyle Menus: Crowds single out the thick-cut salmon nigiri platters, squid karaage, and dashi-rich chanko hotpot.
