About Cheong-chun Sushi (청춘초밥)

Box Hill raw-fish devotees head straight here for thick-cut seafood served in serious Korean portions. The kitchen takes its time even when the room fills—platters arrive balanced, clean, and deliberate. Regulars bypass everyday rolls for the makhoe tossed with crisp vegetables, or double down on golden pork katsu and bubbling hot pots built for easy table sharing.

  • Thick-Cut Korean Sashimi: Generous, thick-sliced fish served with deliberate care and knife precision.
  • Seoul-Style Raw Fish Specialties: Specialty offerings rarely seen locally, including vegetable-tossed raw fish and simmered fish stews.
  • Hearty Comfort Spreads: Bountiful portions spanning crispy pork katsu, kimbap, and sushi rolls made to satisfy big appetites.
  • Laid-Back Group Dining: A relaxed, low-noise room ideal for family meals and easy group gatherings.

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.

  • 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.

    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.

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.
