This is my favourite sushi place in Melbourne. The food is great quality while still being affordable, there is a lot of variety, and the staff are always great.

Sakura Kaiten has been on my list for being one of the best sushi joints in Melbourne but my recent visit was quite average.
Went in with high expectation as usual but quality wasn't as great as before (some of the sashimi didn't taste fresh). It was still decent overall but they can definitely do better. My favourites were scallop nigiri and grilled salmon nigiri. Both were tasty and flavourful.
Went to this place last minute towards the end of the night and the sushi thats been on the train for hours were dry! Definitely recommend ordering through the ipad or asking for a fresh serve. Food was really nice to eat! The green tea mochi was a little bit of a miss but definitely try the strawberry one if you’re a mochi fan! This place is worth trying :)
One of the best, if not the best sushi train in town. 🍣 A lil more expensive that regular sushi train out there but definately worth every penny. Costed me approx $26 for 5-6 plates.

I really enjoy visiting Sukura Kaiten Sushi. They make high quality food which is delicious and tasty. The cost is a little bit more than other sushi trains, but you are paying for better quality food.🔆LOCATION🔆Kaiten Sushi is situated on Little Collins Street near the corner of Exhibition Street. It is a very small venue, and seating is very cramped. It’s best to go there early so you can get good seats at the back.🔆SERVICE🔆Staff is efficient and friendly. We enjoy ordering items from the tablet. Its fast and efficient, and it gets delivered via a conveyer belt to your designated table and next to the sushi train.🔆MENU/PRICE🔆For the sushi train, the costs of items are as follows: Orange plate, $2.80Pink plate, $3.80Black plate, $4.80White plate, $5.80Red plate, $6.80🔆VERDICT🔆Between two people, we had a total of 13 plates (mixture of all different coloured plates) which equates to costs $65.40 ($32.70 per person). We were quite full afterwards and couldn’t fit in dessert - which is a shame because I love dessert hehe. It was very enjoyable dinner and all the items we ordered were very fresh and tasty. Sakura Sushi Kaiten is one of my favourite sushi train restaurants in Melbourne - highly recommended!
One of my favourite quick sushi place , they have another outlet beside Melbourne central but I still prefer this one. Even tho the seating is quite packed but I still come all the time . Sometimes, it get busy during dinner time do make a bookings offer you’re going for dinner . Friendly staff service 👍🏼
Their second location (Sakura Kaiten II) is conveniently next to Melbourne Central. We made the effort to travel to the original though!
Ordered:
🍣 Sushi train ($55.00 for 2)
Review:
My favourite was definitely the salmon sashimi. It was fresh, delicious and definitely comparable to some of the best I've had. There was also a large variety of sushi - definitely a more boujee experience than the sushi trains I have been to.
The service was efficient, but a bit slow because it was peak lunch hour. Lots of suits around, so I wouldn't recommend a big group at lunch on a weekday!
Authentic sushi, without a doubt. Its not cheap but you know you're paying for the high quality dishes!
Service is great, restaurant is a quaint little store that can't house a lot of people so better for smaller sized groups.
Revisited Sakura Kaiten for dinner recently. This place used to be one of my top sushi trains in Melbourne. It is really tiny, and it does get quite busy too. The seating space is very cramped though. The potato croquette was okay, although quite pricey for the size (it is just one piece cut in half). The unagi was soft but lacked sauce, while the aburi salmon was nice. Our favourites were the soft shell crab and chawanmushi, and the udon was a nice warm way to end the meal.
Will come back for:
+ Sashimi
+ Takoyaki
Came here for a late dinner and was pretty impressed with the selection of sushi and sashimi on offer from this sushi train restaurant. Yes, prices are probably not the lowest but the you get some pretty good and fresh ingredients that sing on the tongue. Service was great and the robotic delivery was pretty cool (and reminisce of some of the ones we visited in Japan). We came out contented and pretty sure I’ll be back again soon.
In this cramped setting, enjoy a variety of fresh sushi, sashimi and cooked dishes passing by on the sushi train. Don't see what you want or someone took that last plate? Order from the tablet at each table and your dish will speed over on the special train line.
Service is friendly and very attentive - teaspoons auto-magically appear when you pick up a dessert dish. Some dishes are a bit pricey but there's good variety to ensure there's something for everyone.
Excellent level sushi! It is almost the next best thing to omakase sushi. Sakura Kaiten is a gem composed of an all Japanese team hidden inside Melbourne CBD. The way the raw ingredients are selected is just impeccable. How every piece is cut and made is clearly a product of attention to detail. The all Japanese staff are polite, soft spoken but very knowledgeable of their products. The venue is small enough to attend to a determined number of patrons to ensure quality control. When in Melbourne, Sakura Kaiten is a must try for every person who has an affinity for eating sushi.

The best sushi place in Melbourne.
It's not like Chinese sushi place this is the real sushi place.
You can order your sushi manually or you can pick it up from sushi train.
Presentation, taste, freshness, wide range and price is just perfectly right.
Didn't give 5 stars due to there are not much space next to other tables.
Sushi here will just blow your mind if you haven't tried already.
Authentic sushi, without a doubt. Its not cheap but you know you're paying for the high quality dishes!
Service is great, restaurant is a quaint little store that can't house a lot of people so better for smaller sized groups.
Small quaint little shop that can get really busy during peak hours. Great selection on the sushi train and there's even more in the menu which you can order to be made fresh. Priced above average but definitely worth given how fresh and tasty the food is.
