About Suzuran

Part bustling grocery, part takeaway counter slicing pristine cuts to order on Burke Road. Melbourne diners know this unassuming spot for generous, thick-cut nigiri and custom sashimi sets that easily outclass typical retail sushi. While the chefs assemble your salmon and otoro, the aisles demand exploration—shelves packed tight with specialty miso, Japanese beer, and whole sashimi blocks ready for your own knife at home. Pre-ordering lunch online avoids the steady midday wait.

  • Made-to-Order Sushi Counter: Thick, generous cuts of salmon, tuna, and custom sashimi sliced fresh to order.
  • Imported Japanese Pantry: Aisles stocked with specialty miso, Japanese drinks, snacks, and whole sashimi blocks.
  • Pre-Order Takeaway: Order ahead online to skip the counter queue during peak lunch hours.

Why Choose Suzuran

Why locals rely on Suzuran for specialty Japanese groceries and made-to-order sushi

  • Fresh Made-to-Order Sushi and Sashimi Counter

    Sushi and sashimi orders are sliced and crafted fresh on demand by in-house chefs rather than sitting pre-packed in refrigeration.

    Watching them slice the fish fresh and prepare the sushi to order gave me a pretty good feeling about what was coming.

  • Generous Fish-to-Rice Portions

    Nigiri and sashimi feature remarkably thick, generous cuts of premium fish that dwarf standard commercial takeaway portions.

    fish to rice ratio was just insane

    browsing the wide range of Japanese products whilst I wait to pick up my order never gets old!

    Bread N’ Butter

  • Hard-to-Find Cooking Ingredients

    Stock up on authentic hotpot cuts, frozen gyoza, and specialty chilled ingredients unavailable in mainstream supermarkets.

    It’s a good mix of everyday cooking ingredients and more unique items you don’t usually see in regular supermarkets

Signature made-to-order sushi, sashimi packs, and specialty bowls sliced fresh at the counter

  • Sashimi Platters

    Their sashimi is the best I’ve found in Melbourne. They stock so many other amazing Japanese groceries and the staff are the loveliest people. Their sushi bar is worth a visit too - delicious and made fresh. They also do bigger platters for parties etc.

  • Toro

    Came here for the fresh sushi, and it didn’t disappoint. Recommend toro, and Engawa.

  • Salmon and Tuna Nigiri Pack

    I went with the sushi pack that came with 10 nigiri—5 salmon and 5 tuna—for around $27.50. The first thing that stood out was how generous the pieces of fish were.

  • Grilled Eel Don

    The sushi and sashimi here is super fresh. Probably one of the best place that I have ever tried. I love the grilled eel don and chirashi here.
