Absolutely blown away by the experience! The food was incredible, with the perfect wine and sake pairings that elevated every bite. The service was top-notch—so friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel special. They also have a bar with an extensive list of rare Japanese whiskey that’s hard to find elsewhere, which was such a treat! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family for a fantastic dining experience. Can't wait to come back!

Amazing experience! Went here for my birthday with my husband and we had a great night. The dishes were well articulated, fresh and delicious. Michiaki (chef) and the owner made everyone feel very comfortable and taken care of. The ambiance was very dreamy with jazz music in the background and an intimate group as there are only 8 seats.

My wife and I had a wonderful dining experience at Besuto. The food was fresh, with a delightful mix of local and imported ingredients in seasonally curated dishes that transported me back to memories of Japan.

The seating at the sushi counter was comfortable, with the environment perfectly balanced—pleasant lighting (avoiding the overly dim settings of some establishments) and an ideal room temperature. The chef and wait staff worked seamlessly together, providing attentive and warm service that enhanced the overall experience.

My only suggestion would be to adjust slightly the pacing of the meal. My wife felt a bit rushed at times, as plates were cleared swiftly, which detracted slightly from the relaxed dining atmosphere.

That said, I’d happily return if I can manage to secure a booking, as Besuto is understandably popular right now!

7-Star Culinary Experience Worthy of a Chef Hat

If there’s one dining experience in Sydney that deserves a chef’s hat, it’s Besuto Omakase. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is second to none. Every element, from the intimate ambiance to the precision of each dish, reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely found outside of Japan’s finest omakase counters.

The food? Simply exceptional. 🤩
Every course showcases the highest quality ingredients, expertly prepared and perfectly balanced.
Whether it’s the melt-in-your-mouth sushi or exquisitely composed small plates, each bite is an unforgettable experience. The pace of service is tailored to the group, ensuring a seamless flow that enhances rather than rushes the meal.

Pairings elevate the experience even further. The wine, whiskey, and sake selections are nothing short of impeccable, perfectly complementing each dish. It’s clear that Joel & the team have put immense thought into curating a selection that enhances every flavour.

And then there’s the chef and staff—a true highlight of the night. The passion, knowledge, and precision that the chef brings to his craft are evident in every cut of the knife and every piece of sushi placed before you. The owners and team ensure you feel welcomed and valued, creating an atmosphere that’s both refined and inviting.

My Final Verdict? Besuto is easily a 7-star experience, delivering a level of quality and hospitality that should put it at the top of Sydney’s fine dining scene. If it’s not chef-hatted soon, it should be. If you’re looking for an omakase experience that’s truly world-class, book your seat at Besuto—you won’t regret it.

Omakaze is a word in Japanese meaning "I trust you chef". I would argue that Besuto is presenting Kaizeki , as it's a superb high end dining experience, no matter the informality. The usual checks are made for dietaries and then you are into it.

There is no menu here, it's all about what the chef is able to source on a daily basis. The team are happy to sub for anything you don't like, it's about your comfort and experience.

Down a flight of stairs and into a tiny Whisky bar, through the curtains into the 8 seat restaurant. This is bespoke dining at its finest. we had the wine/sake pairing, which is a match of top of the line drinking with the superb food.

The food is absolutely spectacular with the standout for me being the toothfish. Everything was precise, beautifully presented and delicious. If you are going to eat something you don't normally like (Oysters!) then do it in a place like this. If shellfish tasted like what Chef at Besuto presents, I would eat them all the time.

The dining ended and we finished the night sitting in the bar talking to the others at the Omakaze for a couple of hours. New friends and a new experience. I can't recommend highly enough.

Be warned, if you go the full experience, it's not cheap, this would be a similar per person sit-down cost as a night at the Opera House.
