Mountain Fresh Sushi Express is the first Sushi bar in the Dandenong Ranges with locals and tourists being entertained by the miniature Sushi Express train as it puffs its way along the countertop.
It draws carriages of sushi portions, each one meticulously prepared by master chef Jae Kim, based on his 15+ years experience from all over the world. It's a travelling kaleidoscope of edible colours, with the bright orange of flying fish roe (Tobiko) contrasting with the vivid green of avocado, wasabi and cucumber and the fresh pink of salmon, tuna and prawn.
For those who prefer a more conventional setting to the "express train counter", there is a light and airy lounge at the rear overlooking the treetops and of course a full take away service with individual hand rolls, salads and mixed sashimi boxes perfect for a picnic in the hills.
At Sushi Express we pride ourselves on providing a high quality, healthy product - all sushi is prepared fresh daily so it has that clean, light and refreshing taste that only good quality sushi can offer.
The Sushi Express miniature railway was imported from Germany to match the high quality fit out of the premises. The train counter was custom made with a stunning stone benchtop and the surroundings are freshly decorated in lime green with warm wooden elements and sparkling stainless steel. No expense has been spared to create a top class Japanese style establishment. Specialist kitchen equipment has been installed to prepare authentic sushi in a range of classic and modern styles including vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Sushi Express is at the roundabout end of Belgrave, near the pedestrian lights. It's open for lunch and early dinner Tuesday to Sunday so locals and tourists can take advantage of the first Sushi bar in the hills.
