About Washoku Vaucluse

Fresh fish sliced to order turns this casual Vaucluse corner into an everyday sushi fixture. Snag a stool at the counter bar to watch the chef roll up signature Dynamite maki and torch aburi salmon right in front of you. Regulars lean on the BYO policy—grabbing a cold bottle next door—or dial ahead for neatly boxed takeaway like crunchy salmon tacos, hirata buns, and steaming bowls of udon.

  • Countertop Chef Theatre: Counter seats give diners a front-row view of chefs slicing market-fresh fish and rolling specialty maki to order.
  • BYO-Friendly Dining: Guests can bring their own bottles from the neighboring bottle shop to keep casual group dinners affordable.
  • Meticulous Takeaway: Carefully packaged signature rolls, hirata buns, and warm mains travel easily for an elevated meal at home.

  • Daily Market-Sourced Preparation

    Seafood is procured fresh from the Sydney markets every morning rather than sourced in bulk or pre-made.

    This Japanese food was so fresh, everything is made to order which is incredible and they go to the fish market every day.
