Sushi Rio, Japanese Sushi Train, Sydney

Tempura Prawn Sushi Rolls

Are your feet worn out from pounding the city streets? Take a turn down Sussex St and enter Sushi Rio, a calming nirvana that offers beautifully presented, East-meets-West sushi, on the same street as Kobow Korean BBQ and French Riviera Ice-creamery.

Outside Sushi Rio

An interesting black-and-white light fixture hangs near the front, casting a pretty glow over the elegant, low-lit interior.

Irrashimase! greets you upon entry as you take your seat alongside the sushi train tracks. These run around an island in the middle of the restaurant, where the sushi chefs stand, deftly shaping and slicing the sushi right before your eyes

Seaweed Ship and Salmon and Avocado Sushi Rolls

Background music was sweet and pleasant ~ Sushi-Rio is totally designed for chillaxing in style! Order piping hot, smoky green tea, then sit back and wait for something tasty to chug-chug past.

Here we have some more photos of the sushi train passengers that we abducted (bahaha)

Deep Fried Chicken Sushi Rolls

Mmrmm, these were tasty passengers >D

Black and Green Roe Sushi Ships

Fish roe is so fun to eat! Crunch crunch crunch
And I've never seen green fish roe! So pretty lahh

Shark Fin Sushi Ship

Prices are mid-range for a sushi train, with most dishes ringing in at $3-3.50.

Sushi Rio is a conveniently located, almost therapeutic escape from the CBD rush - all that's missing is a statue of Buddha at the entrance and a few joss sticks (..but for that you can go to Chinta Ria XD)
