Restaurant in Bondi Beach
A long-running, unfussy Japanese sushi bar one street back from the beachfront, turning out fresh nigiri, sashimi and rolls at neighbourhood prices.
This is the kind of steady, dark-wood-panelled local sushi spot that regulars quietly rely on rather than the tourist-facing crowd on Campbell Parade. Open since 2012 and seven days a week, it keeps the format simple: fresh-made nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, bentos and a handful of cooked mains, done consistently and priced reasonably. We'd choose it when you want a reliable Japanese feed without the queue or the fuss.
Fresh nigiri and sashimi, hand rolls and a bento box; among the cooked options, gyoza, soft-shell crab salad and chicken katsu round out the menu.
Small, relaxed and minimalist, with dark wooden panelling
Local tip: Our pick is to grab it as takeaway or delivery via their online ordering and eat it down at the beach — the dining room is compact and this is a locals' pick-up spot as much as a sit-down one.
Worth knowing: It's a functional neighbourhood sushi bar one street back from the sand — no ocean views and no scene, so look elsewhere if you want a destination dining experience.
Hours, prices and menus change — always check the venue’s own site before you go. Spotted something out of date? We keep this directory current; details reflect our last check.
