North Bondi Nami

Our summer favourite North Bondi Fish is hibernating during cooler months and a Japanese izakaya-style pop-up taking its place.

North Bondi Nami (nami translates to “wave” in Japanese), will focus on using some of Australia’s best produce, serving you warming dishes from bowls of ramen, shared plates of gyoza and ora king salmon with chickpea miso marmalade. The vibrant cocktail menu inspired from Japanese flavours is one we definitely can’t wait to enjoy.

On the weekends, you’ll find the option of group banquets showcasing the best from their menu, with the option to add paired cocktails, sake and wine.

North Bondi Nami will be open on June 18, North Bondi Fish returns in Spring.
