It started in Pyrmont in 1998.

Founder Sam Hwang opened the first Yuzu in Pyrmont after a decade in Sydney's top kitchens. The idea was unpretentious, accessible Japanese dining, and one simple promise: we cook for you.

Chef partners joined over the years, and each new venue took on the tastes of its own neighbourhood. Today five Yuzu venues share more than 100 years of combined chef experience.

In 2026 they come together as one collective, built around the 70/30 Menu.

The 70/30 menu

Seventy percent of every menu is our core: time-tested signature dishes, consistent across all five kitchens. The other thirty is local, created for each neighbourhood and its dietary needs.
