Kushi 2095
Modern Japanese izakaya: robata skewers and sake on Belgrave Street.
The local take
Kushi 2095 is a modern Japanese izakaya at Shop 1, 10 Belgrave Street, near the wharf. "Kushi" means skewers in Japanese, and 2095 is Manly's postcode. It has a sister restaurant, Kushi 2011.
The focus is yakitori grilled over a robata, alongside tempura and other izakaya dishes. Reviewers single out the tonkotsu ramen and the yakiniku beef rice bowl. There are plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and more than 22 Japanese sakes, wines and spirits.
The room is cosy and relaxed but has a buzz, and it's family-friendly. It's a good choice for a dinner of skewers and sake a short walk from the ferry.
