Sushi Dong

Sushi Dong is a casual Japanese spot at Shop 16, 21 St Germain Boulevard in the St Germain Central precinct of Clyde North, in Melbourne's south-east growth corridor. It serves fresh sushi rolls, sashimi platters and hot comfort dishes such as chicken katsu don, teriyaki bowls and bento boxes, with dine-in, takeaway and delivery. Google listings flag the venue as dog-friendly, which puts it on the map for a lunch stop with the dog in tow.

The dog setup

The dog-friendly tag comes from the venue's Google listing, and with a small shopfront in a retail hub your best bet is any outdoor or footpath seating out front. Bring your own water bowl and confirm where dogs can sit when you order, as the venue does not publish a formal policy. It is a quick, counter-service feed rather than a long sit-down, so a settled dog on a short lead beside the table suits the setup.

Worth knowing

Hours run roughly 9am to 5:30pm daily, so this is a daytime stop, not a dinner destination. The precinct directory lists the store alongside the rest of the St Germain Central traders, and the kitchen is known for fresh, well-priced Japanese fare.

Getting there and parking

St Germain Central has on-site parking, so arriving by car is straightforward along St Germain Boulevard off Thompsons Road.

Close by with the dogs

For a proper run before or after lunch, Selandra Rise Fenced Dog Park and the City of Casey Wetlands are both nearby, and Delaray and Co is another dog-friendly eat in the same precinct.
