Itō Sydney

Itō sits at 413, 415 Crown St, a twenty-minute walk from Hyde Park. The venue serves Japanese sushi and seafood and holds one hat from the 2025 Australia Good Food Guide. The room runs smart and elegant.

The location is the primary draw for those weary of the city centre’s predictable options. While most of the restaurants around the Sydney Tower Eye rely on sheer foot traffic, Itō demands a purposeful journey into Surry Hills. It operates with more restraint than the loud, neon-lit sushi counters nearby, proving that you do not need a tourist landmark to command a seat. The kitchen’s focus on seafood justifies the trek, offering a technical precision that feels entirely absent in the crowded tourist strips closer to the Queen Victoria Building.
