About Zushi Surry Hills - Japanese Restaurant

Fresh sashimi and crisp wonton-cracker tacos meet relaxed open-air dining on Crown Street. Regulars head straight for the leafy courtyard tables, pairing draft beers with corn ribs and melt-in-your-mouth wagyu tataki. The kitchen strikes a neat balance between playful sharing plates and serious fish—from pristine Hokkaido scallop nigiri to oven-roasted miso salmon glazed with yuzu. Inside, diners tuck into multi-course tasting spreads or settle in for an intimate 20-course omakase at the counter, winding down over airy soufflé cheesecake and chilled plum wine.

  • Playful Japanese Fare: Crisp wonton-cracker sashimi tacos, wagyu beef rolls, and miso-glazed salmon sit alongside traditional nigiri.
  • Courtyard Dining: Spacious open-air seating in a leafy setting creates a breezy, casual neighborhood backdrop on Crown Street.
  • Counter & Set Menus: A dedicated 20-course chef-led counter progression runs alongside bottomless brunches and sharing sets.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, pacing, and seating to make the most of your visit

  • Book Omakase Early and Arrive On Time

    Bookings are strictly limited, with 6:30 PM starts on selected days each week, so reserve your counter seats well in advance and arrive promptly since service begins on schedule.

  • Come with a Serious Appetite

    The 20-course counter omakase and the 8-item tasting menu are both exceptionally generous, so skip heavy pre-meal snacks to leave ample room for every dish.

  • Request Hot Dishes for Courtyard Dining

    The outdoor courtyard is a prime dining location, but if visiting on breezy or cooler evenings, ask the accommodating staff for extra-hot miso soup to stay cozy.
