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.

    Fresh oil, great breading, juicy, perfect and generous portion size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I make a reservation before visiting?

Cheong-chun Sushi accepts reservations, which are recommended as the dining room can get completely packed and generate queues during peak hours.

How does ordering and payment work in the restaurant?

Dine-in guests place their food orders using a table QR code and pay at the counter upon finishing.

How large are the portion sizes?

Portions are notably generous and filling across sushi platters, donkatsu, and hot pots, making many dishes easy to share.

How late is the kitchen open for dinner?

While regular evening hours run until 10:00 PM (and 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday), last orders and kitchen closure can happen earlier—sometimes by around 8:45 PM to 9:20 PM—so arriving well before closing is advised.
