South Bank Is Getting New Japanese Seafood Restaurant, Ariake on Grey
It will double as an izakaya-style eatery and a fresh fish shop.
Finding something great to eat in South Bank's new Southpoint building isn't difficult, but choosing what to munch on increasingly is. First, Neil Perry's Burger Project set up shop. Then, Vietnamese canteen Mrs Luu's did as well. It's not yet open, but Japanese seafood restaurant Ariake on Grey is the next to follow suit.
Opening in mid April, the 60-seat eatery will focus on combining the ocean's finest bounties with Japan's best offerings like sushi, sashimi and yakitori. Owners John Hojae Jung and Anthony Kim will also sell trawler-fresh seafood for those wanting to cook up a fishy storm at home, while providing an izakaya-style dining and drinking experience in-house.
Those eating on the premises can expect nigiri and sashimi with tuna, salmon, kingfish, snapper, scampi, eel, squid, octopus, salmon roe and prawn (available in packs, or on platters to share) — but that's just part of menu. Starters include ponzu jelly oysters, snapper chips, salmon and tuna tacos, and sake, mussels and Japanese-style vongole (that is, spaghetti with clams). When it comes to bigger dishes, the robata will be sizzling up kingfish teriyaki, the assorted tempura boasts seafood and vegetables, Spanish mackerel tataki sounds like a highlight, and nine types of rolls span everything from soft-shell crab to tempura prawns.
Lunch sets will also be on offer for both dining in and taking away. Drinks-wise, the beverage list will feature taps pouring Asahi and Kirin, as well as a selection of sake.
Find Ariake on Grey at Southpoint, 271 Grey Street, South Brisbane. Head to their Facebook page for further details.
