Zushi Opens Third Japanese Restaurant at Barangaroo
This neighbourhood favourite is the latest addition to the waterfront foodie destination.
If you love sashimi, you really love sashimi. And if you love sashimi and live in Sydney, chances are you've had a piece or two from Zushi at some point. They've had restaurants in Surry Hills and Darlinghurst for a while now, and now the Zushi family has just unveiled a sleek new Japanese joint at Barangaroo's burgeoning dining precinct, The Streets of Barangaroo.
The third venue for the group has gone full designer, with their new digs rock a striking fit-out courtesy of the acclaimed Koichi Takada Architects. The waterfront space boasts a semi-open kitchen, a dedicated sushi bar and a stunning, all-weather outdoor dining area with room for 106 people — it's bound to be red-hot property over the coming summer months. There's also a walk-up bar space, where Zushi's resident sake expert can hook you up with a few drops from the extensive range while you're waiting for that table.
In true Zushi style, the modern Japanese fare here strikes a balance between innovation and authenticity, with this latest menu a mix of favourites, specials, and seasonal dishes unique to the Barangaroo restaurant. You'll find specialty sushi and sashimi, alongside an assortment of Izakaya-inspired share plates. The seared tuna steak coated in quinoa and sesame with wasabi mash is a must-order. Backing it up, there's that hefty range of sake, some clever sake cocktails, and a NSW-led wine list, which has plenty of love for biodynamic and organic labels.
Zushi joins a slew of other eateries that have opened down at Barangaroo over the last few months, including Belles Hot Chicken, Lotus, Cirrus and The Rabbit Hole.
Zushi Barangaroo is now open for lunch and dinner seven days a week at 10/33 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo South. For more info, visit zushi.com.au.
