Our Story

About Sushi Hub

Discover the passion, tradition, and artistry behind every piece of sushi we create. Our journey began with a simple dream: to bring authentic Japanese cuisine to Australia.

15+

Years of Excellence

A Journey of Passion & Tradition

Sushi Hub was born from a deep love for Japanese culinary traditions and a desire to share that passion with the vibrant food culture of Australia. Founded in 2009 by Master Chef Takeshi Yamamoto, our restaurant began as a small family-run establishment in St Leonards.

What started as a modest dream has grown into one of Sydney's most beloved sushi destinations. Every piece of sushi we create is a tribute to the centuries-old traditions of Japanese cuisine, crafted with the finest ingredients sourced from both local Australian suppliers and Japan.

Today, Sushi Hub stands as a testament to the power of dedication, quality, and the universal language of exceptional food. We invite you to experience the artistry and flavour that has made us a cornerstone of the Sydney dining scene.
