About KOMEYUI Japanese Restaurant - Melbourne

Park yourself at KOMEYUI for razor-sharp knife work and an omakase counter that treats seafood with quiet reverence. Regulars pull up stools along the sushi bar to watch each nigiri shaped by hand—from rich tuna belly to scallop kissed with foie gras. The kitchen pivots easily between subtle balance and sheer decadence, turning out savoury chawanmushi in a thick broth and savoury toothfish that leaves the grill tender without excess sweetness. Intuitive omotenashi carries the room, right down to the heated washlet seats in the restroom.

  • Counter Omakase: A chef-guided counter experience where nigiri and seasonal seafood are sliced and seasoned right before you.
  • Savoury Chawanmushi: Classic egg custard delivered in a rich, thick savoury broth with rich foie gras accents.
  • Thoughtful Hospitality: Polished floor care with personal touches and automated, heated Japanese washlet seats.

Before you head over

Helpful planning advice for your visit to Komeyui

  • Book the sushi bar for omakase

    Reserve seating at the sushi bar specifically if you want the seasonal omakase experience where chefs prepare dishes right in front of you.

  • Call ahead for parking advice

    When driving, factor in Southbank traffic and contact the restaurant ahead of time for parking guidance if you are on a tight schedule.

  • Plan for a two-hour omakase window

    Allow a full two hours for counter omakase seatings, as multi-course dining is paced before dessert transitions to dining tables.
