Why Cheong-chun Sushi Draws Box Hill Diners
From thick-cut ocean-fresh sashimi to hearty katsu spreads, secure your table and let the kitchen work its magic.
Korean-Style Thick-Cut Sashimi
Sashimi is sliced with generous, hearty thickness rather than delicate paper-thin cuts, highlighting fresh oceanic textures rarely found in standard sushi shops.
And the Korean-style thick-cut sashimi was some of the freshest I’ve ever had in Melbourne.
May X Rare Korean Raw Fish Specialties
The kitchen serves authentic Korean coastal delicacies like rockfish, croaker, and vibrant makhoe that faithfully channel the style of Seoul's trendiest sashimi restaurants.
Never expected I can taste Urok (rockfish) & Mineo (croaker) sashimi in Melbourne.
changjin Yang Golden, Crispy Donkatsu Portions
Crisp panko breading, clean frying, and juicy pork cutlets rival dedicated tonkatsu bars while arriving in hearty, fulfilling portions.
Fresh oil, great breading, juicy, perfect and generous portion size.
Jay L Plentiful, Value-Driven Bento Sets
Complete meals and bento boxes arrive packed with satisfying hot dishes and flavorful sides, maximizing table value across both lunch and dinner.
Have ordered the bento boxes from here many many times and every single time the food is fresh, tasty and plentiful!
Tara Blair-Smith Comfortable Group Catch-Ups

Came quickly after ordering and it’s a great place for a group catchup, not too noisy.

Before you head over
Essential advice on timing, ordering, and service pacing—book your table in advance to guarantee an unhurried dining experience.
Arrive Well Before Stated Closing
While listed hours run until 10:00 pm, the kitchen frequently shuts down early, with diners turned away as early as 8:45 pm. Arrive well ahead of late evening or reserve early to secure your meal.
Plan Ahead for Queues and Unhurried Service
Peak dinner hours reliably draw long queues outside, and the kitchen deliberately takes its time to prepare every dish with care. Booking your table ahead avoids extended sidewalk waits and guarantees room for group catch-ups.
Share Generous Plates Family-Style
From the signature makhoe raw fish to donkatsu and bento boxes, portion sizes are substantial and designed for sharing. With a vast menu of similar-sounding items, ordering family-style prevents over-ordering and lets you taste across the full Korean-Japanese spread.
