Rise Restaurants

Hideki Okazaki, head chef of Darlinghurst's 'Rise' restaurant, has combined the best of East and Western cooking to combine a fantastically creative Japanese fusion menu for his loyal customers.

It's hard to miss 'Rise', with a vibrant red door, brilliant blue exterior and huge glass windows it is a feature of Craigend St, and just a short three minute walk away from the always alive Kings Cross. Okazaki never creates bland meals, steering away from the overdone approach that many have to sushi.

Be sure to stop by on Tuesday, Wednesday or Sunday as there is a thirty percent discount on the degustation. Perfect venue for your next big function, cocktail party or quiet night out for two. Book tonight!

The food is imaginative and always includes the freshest sashimi and an inspired seasonal plate. Prepared to be surprised: it’s east-meets-west food philosophy, soft candlelight and white linens. If money’s no object go crazy on the great cocktails and sake. ...read more
