Loved it. So fresh, authentic and genuinely amazing flavours. The intimacy of being right there and seeing your food so cleverly prepared is also a great way to dine

Coming all the way from Texas, I had high hopes for Sydney’s omakase scene—expecting something leagues above what I’ve experienced back home. Sadly, Sushi Sei fell short. What should’ve been an intimate, refined experience felt more like dining at a family-friendly chain. A couple brought their baby, whose cries led staff to crank up the music, and the mother repeatedly paced the cramped space to soothe her child—disrupting the atmosphere. While I sympathize, a true fine dining venue should enforce a child-free policy during omakase service. The food? A 3.5/5. Decent, but nothing that embodied the spirit or precision of a traditional omakase. The chefs appeared to be Vietnamese—which excited me, as I’ve had amazing Vietnamese-led sushi before—but this just wasn’t it. The Chef’s Special started with forgettable entrees, though the chawanmushi stood out—silky and savory, reminiscent of Eggslut’s potato soufflé. The sushi course included ocean trout, snapper, bonito, sardine, otoro, and lean toro—standard selections with no standout preparations. The “miso” soup felt more like a nabeyaki udon, featuring sukiyaki-style beef slices that were overcooked and underwhelming. Dessert was a single grapefruit jelly—underwhelming for a supposedly curated experience. Sushi Sei, a segment of Kuon, seems intended as a more casual spin-off. I haven’t tried Kuon’s flagship, but if this is the benchmark, I’ll be skipping it. If you’re new to omakase, I wouldn’t suggest starting here. It’s better suited for casual sushi eaters than those seeking a true, elevated omakase experience. I’m glad I tried it—but I won’t be back. Hope this helps others searching for a more authentic omakase in Sydney.

It just doesn’t worth the money. Sushi train or other places would be much better compared the prices I paid
