Known forPotts Point FavouriteNo ReservationsShare Plates
A sleek, Japanese-inspired izakaya on Macleay Street that has become one of the most consistently excellent restaurants in Sydney's inner east. The menu spans raw dishes, robata-grilled skewers, and larger plates — the tuna sashimi, wagyu skewers, and miso eggplant are all essential. It's perpetually busy and the no-reservations policy for smaller groups means you may wait at the bar, which is no hardship.
