The details 📝
Jaws Sushi is one of the OGs in the Perth sushi scene. In November 1995, they opened the first kaitenzushi (literally "rotating sushi", better known as "sushi train" or "conveyor belt sushi") in Australia. The Jaws Restaurant group is run by Yoshimasa Hirayama who has had over 20+ years of running sushi and Japanese restaurants in Japan.
As a kid, I still remember grabbing sushi rolls from their Jaws Temaki branch (hand roll sushi) next to Myer back in the mid 2000s. These days, they have a couple branches throughout Perth. On Saturday evenings, their Town Hall branch offer a 50 minute all you can eat option for $37.5.
For the price of $37.5, what you get is reasonable. You'll get a variety of nigiri (sashimi on sushi rice), makizushi (sushi rolls), a number of Japanese side, a choice of dessert and a bottle of trusty dihydrogen monoxide.
Who is this place for exactly? If you're the type that wants to maximise every single morsel consumed, or if you're after super high end Japanese stuff, then this place isn't for you (you get what you pay for). If you're after a no-frills range of Japanese food, then this is for you. You'll find a no-frills range of predominantly nigiri, makizushi and a number of Japanese sides.
Note the 50 minute long time limit. The imposed time limit is very common for all-you-can-eat restaurants in Japan, so it was not unexpected to find this at Jaws too.
When an opportunity for all-you-can-eat is presented, the obvious thing for is making sure you get your money's worth. It wasn't hard to get your money's here. Most of what you can find on the conveyor belt are plates priced around the $4.8 - $5.3 mark. Do your maths, and you'll realise you only need to eat around 6 - 7 plates to get your worth.
There's no need to worry about food running out on the conveyor belt. Jaws' chefs ensured the conveyor belt was more or less full, for the entirety of our seating.
Having said that, we'd suggest you to pace yourselves and be more intentional and selective of what you want to eat! We found the 50 min time limit to be more than enough time to eat. Where it might get tricky is, if you plan on catching up with your other dining friends for conversation, while trying to scoff down plates of sushi!
You won't find everything on Jaws' menu on the conveyor belt. Some of the things we saw on the conveyor belt included:
- Nigiri - ika, prawn tempura and salmon
- Rolls - tobiko California, salmon and avocado
- Aburi - aji
- Gunkan - chicken teriyaki
- Sides - takoyaki, chicken karaage, gyoza and edamame
- Noodle - soba
Extras like miso soup, soft drink and Japanese tea are available for an additional charge.
Towards the end of your seating (maybe around 15 - 20 minutes before), staff will ask you for your dessert preference. You'll get to choose between a green tea ice-cream or creme brule. Your choice of dessert is then sent out promptly after.
Before visiting 🚙
Anything else I should know before visiting?
- The All You Can Eat option is only available on Saturday nights at the Jaws Sushi Town Hall Branch, with bookings being essential.
- Pace yourself - a 50 minute long seating gives you adequate time to enjoy your food (keep in mind dessert comes towards the end ).
- Chose the booth table if you're in a group of 4 - 6 (it's probably a nicer experience than being on the counter).
What's the address?
Where do I park?
Some street parking is available, otherwise the closest paid carpark is located on Pier Street (CPP and Wilson Parking).
