Sushiya's menu at the market will comprise a series of small dishes with classic pickled and preserved Japanese-style vegetables, a variety of modern nigiri platters, a platter of maki, and temaki and gunkan maki infused with local and classic Japanese flavours, among other delicacies available for diners to enjoy.
Another chef added is Hitesh Panchal, who will serve Indian street food with a contemporary twist with Kapoochka.

We wanted to make sure that we feature the city’s well-known chefs and award-winning restaurateurs and also allow much-loved local gems and up-and-coming talents to showcase their expertise.
We will be offering guests an experience that is unique yet accessible as we open our doors at the V&A Waterfront as a meaningful addition to this city and our neighbourhood,” said Meyer.
