Beloved Japanese Takeaway Spot Reveals A Colourful New Dine-in Menu, Pastel-Hued Interiors and Outside Courtyard With A Cherry Blossom Garland
Brighton’s ever-popular Japanese takeaway bar Sushi Baby, by Melbourne’s Atlantic Group, has revealed a new dine-in menu and an immersive refresh of its interior, outdoor courtyard and private dining space.
Hatem Saleh, Founder and Managing Director of Atlantic Group, explains, “Sushi Baby had gained immense popularity as a takeaway bar, so we felt it was time to create a whimsical and warm dining room, allowing our local loyalists to linger longer”.
“We want to offer Baysiders an immersive experience that celebrates vibrant flavours in a setting where the contrasting pastels match the hospitable and playful energy of the venue and Sushi Baby’s beloved mascot” he concludes.
The new dine-in menu by Head Chef Chloe Kim highlights a Kaiseki-style experience, both delicate in design and hand-crafted with precision by using traditional Japanese techniques blended with approachable Australian flair and a hint of Korean influence.
The menu comprises vibrant Summer cocktails, a sake selection, hot and cold plates, with highlights including:
- Salmon nori taco, rice, avocado, teriyaki sauce, furikake
- Tempura soft shell crab, sake soy, aioli
- Chicken katsu sando, tonkatsu sauce, sriracha mayo
- Sweet chilli karaage, kewpie mayo
- Salmon aburi inside-out sushi rolls
- 32pc assorted sushi plate
For those heading to the local beach or park, or seeking something for a party at home, Sushi Baby also offers an impressive 62-or-85-piece ‘Sushi Baby Box’ available for pre-order with same-day collection.
Adding to Sushi Baby’s fun, Mim Fanning, Principal of award-winning Mim Design, was called upon to assist in creating an immersive Tokyo-style interior.
“The desire to introduce an inviting dine-in experience, drove the design philosophy to create a warmer feel with textural touch points such as hand-made tiles, pastel hues of blush and green, polished plaster and whitewashed brickwork”, shares Fanning.
The new outdoor courtyard fitted with a retractable roof provides a colour-submersed welcoming space for families and friends to sit a while and enjoy Sushi Baby’s fresh rolls, tataki or nori tacos in the sunshine, whilst the cherry blossom-draped laneway provides both a playful pop of colour, at night a visual feast connecting environment and food.
The new outdoor space is also available for private hire and parties, complete with a private bar, allowing guests to book up to 20 seated diners or up to 40 standing cocktails, making for the perfect place to celebrate in Brighton.
