Reviews summary

Nestled on Manly Beach, this Japanese-inspired restaurant captivates with its vibrant atmosphere and enticing menu. Diners rave about the fresh flavors, particularly the bottomless chicken wings and unique cocktails. However, some patrons express frustration with order-taking and service consistency, noting occasional miscommunications and a lack of attentiveness. While the lively music adds to the vibe, it can be overwhelming at times. Despite minor service hiccups, the overall experience shines, appealing especially to families with its cozy play area. For a memorable meal with a stunning view, this venue remains a top choice in Manly, leaving guests eager for a return visit.

Love the interior of this place, very unique and refreshing. Definitely piques the interest. Lots of seating available, both indoor and outdoor. Restrooms are kept clean as well The menu items were sadly disappointing. Cocktails and majority of the dishes were priced around $19, like the Beach Burger and Tempura Fish Chips. I can't say it's worth the price. The burger had a small patty and huge amounts of tomato sauce, unnecessary. The fish was sadly forgettable and the chips could use a bi

Spacious, lots of tables, good place for groups and kids. Our area smelt a bit funky like wee- needed a bit of airing out but it stopped after a while. Great location, can see the beach across the road. The sashimi boat was delicious, and fresh. The steamed fish and veges kids meal was smaller than expected- fish was tiny.

Great location and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Good vibe. Looks like they would have live music on nights. Portions on the smaller side but good food overall. Greeter was quite friendly. Order via the app.

The whole time I was thinking 5 stars. The baos are out of this world, the fish and chips and fried rice were delicious. The only thing is we ordered a sushi roll that didn't come out for over 45 minutes and I got sent from person to person to handle the cancellation and refund. Other than that it was great!

We ordered a few starters, 2 kids chicken and 1 burger which was excellent but we didn’t enjoy the octopus too much. Sushi with good flavour but in general when we finish the meal I had a greasy flavour on my mouth maybe due to the salt and peper calamari. My punctuation is an average 3/5

I absolutely adored this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic and the music was excellent. I highly recommend visiting if you are in Manly! I only wish they would open a location on the south side of the Harbour Bridge.

What an amazing place right on the beach of manly. we were for the choice on the menu and the amazing unique cocktails. the service was excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive. if they love Asian eating with a twist, then I strongly recommend them in, and make sure they order the sushi boot.
