Indulge in the unique fusion of flavours at Kimusabi, where our passion for sushi, delightful drinks and vibrant tunes collides with a misfit kitchen crew devoted to challenging the norms of traditional cuisine.
At Kimusabi, we defy the conventional sushi bar experience. Our sushi is an expression of freshness, seasonality, and local sourcing. While we adore fish, we stand firm in our choice not to sell or consume them.
Picture savoring zucchini flower tempura filled with yuzu & almond ricotta, encased in a temaki hand roll accompanied by pickled chilli, shiso leaves and avocado. Alternatively, enjoy a wild mushroom onigiri with an aged shiro miso butter and dehydrated mushroom powder, or an inari bursting with baby eggplant karaage, scorched cashew cream and shaved hemp mozzarella.
Our culinary creations are designed to be relished with a temaki roll in one hand and a yuzu margarita in the other.
Detractors may argue that we've altered the essence of sushi – and perhaps they're right, but at kimusabi we revel in the liberty to serve dishes as we see fit. We proudly abstain from contributing to the depletion of marine life in our oceans.
Join us in Newtown, where we joyfully share our dedication to premium plant-based cuisine with our newfound friends and neighbours.

“…and we managed to try the initial tasting plates by chef Peter to introduce the concept and wow - hands down, some of the best sushi in the inner west… once again he’s taken everything we know [about sushi] and turned it on is head”
Pascal Morrisett
“is it sushi? not as we know it - I dare say its better (?) kimusabi chef Peter Varvaressos has recreated what he thinks sushi should be, with a steadfast reliance on using fresh produce from their vegan supermarket next door - and none of it from the ocean! We can’t wait until the doors open to the public as this will surely be one of 2024’s hottest tickets”
