THE VOICE’S hunt for sushi perfection led to a ritzy enclave in South Perth.

Just down from The Windsor Hotel on Mends Street, HeyBro is in a food court in the small, anodyne South Shore shopping centre.

It’s a sleepy hollow with the odd rich person shuffling in for a pedicure or haircut.

Time seemed to stand still and the only noise was the gentle hum of the centre’s air conditioning.

But it was nice and cool, and I imagine it would be the perfect bolt-hole for lunch during the next heatwave.

HeyBro’s hole-in-the-wall style outlet was scrupulously clean and well presented with the sushi, rice and noodle boxes arranged in perfectly neat rows like a well-trained infantry division.

The produce looked incredibly fresh with a nice range of sushi, sashimi and noodle boxes.

My California Roll was a summery delight – the sweet crab tasted super fresh and there was a lovely medley of avocado, cucumber and tofu.

The sushi rice, sprinkled with tobiko, was spot on and it all tasted very light and refreshing.

The five large wheels were the perfect size for lunch and it was good value.

Next up was the Chicken Teriyaki rice box.

The strips of tender chook were good quality and had a lovely salty coating.

When combined with the green beans and sticky rice it was a tasty hit.

Again the portion size was spot on for lunch, or it could even be a light dinner.

I took home some tuna, avocado and cucumber sushi for my kids.

They wolfed it down in no time, saying it was some of the best they’ve had.

My wife “Special K” was busy tucking into her Chicken Katsu Sushi, which was well presented with an artful blob of mayo on each roll.

“Some sushi can be a bit of a slog, but these are incredibly light and full of flavour,” she noted.

“The katsu coating is nice and crispy and the chicken is tender inside.

“Definitely some of the best I’ve had.”

The threes sushi dishes and Chicken Teriyaki rice box came in at $35.30, which was pretty good value.

The sushi at HeyBro is up there with some of the best I’ve had for casual takeaway.

The teriyaki rice box was solid and above average without setting the heather on fire.

HeyBro also have a Voiceland outlet in Coventry Village in Morley.
