Kumo Izakaya

Best Known For

Bang Bang chicken, with lemongrass and chilli teriyaki.

Offering an ideal respite from the worries of the world, Kumo Izakaya on Lygon Street in East Brunswick features eclectic Japanese style and a creative menu. Seamlessly blending the industrial and Art Deco influences of the former bank building, this sleek izakaya and sake den has striking artwork on feature walls and a moody vibe for that romantic dinner with your special someone. The Japanese equivalent of Spanish tapas, izakaya presents a range of grilled, steamed, vegetarian or rice dishes; alongside platters of sushi, sashimi and gourmet desserts. Delve into starters like pork gyoza and soy sauce, or wok-seared edamame, black sesame and Murray River salt; before a plate of signature ramen gnocchi, cheese, chives, Grana Padano and spicy cream, washed down by a chilled glass of wine.
