Sushi Jiro just opened Melbourne's longest sushi train at The Glen shopping centre and our chopsticks are at the ready. The brand new light-filled diner, which overlooks Sneddon Drive, features a large and diverse selection of all your favourite sushi treats, comfy booth seating and capacity around the 67-metre sushi train for up to 100 diners.
Anticipate a fun, modern take on sushi (crowd faves include soft shell crab 'noritaco' and the nacho cheese signature tuna roll), however the biggest drawcard of all may just be Sushi Jiro’s first-ever Japanese soft serve station. It's a $10 all-you-can-eat dessert experience showcasing a rotating selection of flavours like vanilla and matcha, plus a colourful topping station that features 30 different options.
Robots are on hand to look after your orders, thanks to cutting-edge technology that's increasingly being used in hospitality venues around the world. Simply order via the tablet, then sit back and relax as your dish comes whizzing out to your table.
CEO Anna Kasman acquired her first Sushi Jiro in September 2022, and has since worked to expand the brand rapidly.
“The demand for sushi train dining experiences continues to grow across Australia, and we’re thrilled to offer something special here in Melbourne,” shares Anna. “The Glen restaurant has been designed to offer a more spacious and immersive experience and is the perfect evolution of the Sushi Jiro brand and offering."
You can find the new Sushi Jiro in The Glen's ground floor dining precinct and it's open from 11am to 9pm, seven days a week.
