About Mamasaan Bondi - Japanese Cuisine Restaurant and Bar in Bondi Beach

Mamasaan Bondi pairs moody izakaya energy with playful Japanese fusion share plates and sharp drinks just off Beach Road. Dim lighting and acoustic Sunday sets frame tables packed with sashimi tacos, crispy chicken karaage, and steamed bao buns. The bar leans creative—freezing fresh chilli straight into cocktail ice cubes—before the kitchen sends out a wagyu mochi burger or warm coconut cream poured over mango mochi.

  • Chilli-Infused Ice Cocktails: Bespoke cocktails feature spicy tequila serves built around ice cubes frozen with fresh chilli.
  • Mochi-Driven Fusion: The kitchen experiments with chewy texture, plating a wagyu mochi burger alongside mango mochi with warm coconut cream.
  • Sunday Live Music: Sunday evenings feature acoustic singers and guitarists to wind down the weekend over dinner and drinks.

  • Creative Texture Twists and Mochi Fusion

    Playful twists on Japanese classics stand out across the menu, ranging from Wagyu mochi burgers to mango mochi served alongside cold sorbet and warm coconut cream.

    The mango mochi with coconut cream was a perfect balance of sweet and slightly salty, and the burger with mochi added a delightful twist I’d never tried before.
