About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Healthy
  • Good for special occasions
Masuya Restaurant is located in a building, which has been designated as a cultural asset, on O’Connell Street in Sydney. This is the same place as the office of Kanematsu Gosho, the pioneer of Australia – Japan trades, was situated in 1980. Masuya Restaurant opened in 1993, then full renovation was implemented in 2006.

The approx. five meters long sushi counter, designed by architect Robert Toland in ‘kabuki red’ with an idea of the stage of kabuki, has since fascinated not only local Australian customers but also various people with different backgrounds.

A showcase displays more than 20 different sushi ingredients everyday including locally produced fish, which is purchased on the day. Other carefully selected ingredients are wagyu beef, free-range pork, and seasonal vegetables. Specially designed tableware of Malcolm Greenwood and tables made of Tasmanian Oak is also creating a great atmosphere. Enjoy your time in this amazing space of hospitality.

    I have been going there for a while, but I don't see any creative dish. It's just the same old traditional food, but the price keeps going up. The noise level is really bad that I needed to shout to be heard. Not sure I will go back.

    The food was of great quality and flavour. Very reasonable prices compared to other Sydney Cbd Japanese restaurants. Will definitely return when we are back in Sydney.

    Wonderful setting underground with very friendly staff. Seemed to be very full lunchtime. However, the signature bento had a poor cutting of fish that I couldn't chew and the portions weren't great. No rice and just one single prawn tempura for $37. Not very good value even if it is in the CBD. I will probably look at an alternative next time.
