Asako

Asako is a Japanese restaurant on Tennyson Road in Mortlake, known for fresh sashimi, sushi and crispy tempura in a cosy, modern dining room, with outdoor seating that welcomes dogs.

Dog access: Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area, and reviewers note the restaurant is welcoming to dogs. Staff are generally accommodating, but as with most footpath dining, keep your dog leashed and settled beside the table. Water bowls and treats aren't confirmed as standard, so it's worth bringing your own bowl or asking staff when you arrive.

Known for: Fresh sashimi and sushi, pork gyoza, soft shell crab and chicken katsu udon, with friendly, attentive service and both dine-in and takeaway options.

Getting there: The restaurant is at 100 Tennyson Rd, Mortlake. Free street parking is typically available on Tennyson Road and the surrounding residential streets. It's a car-friendly location rather than one built around public transport.

Nearby with the dogs: Mortlake Point is a short, scenic waterfront walk for before or after your meal, and Wangal Centenary Bushland Reserve is close by if you want a proper bushland leg-stretch for your dog.
