Nagisa

Nagisa sits on Honeysuckle Drive in the Honeysuckle precinct, Newcastle's lively waterfront dining strip on the harbour. A popular Japanese restaurant, it's a genuine fixture of the waterfront scene — combining quality Japanese cooking (sushi, sashimi and more) and good drinks with a relaxed setting and lovely harbour-side views, the kind of well-regarded spot that's become a local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality Japanese food, a good drinks offering and a great waterfront Honeysuckle location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, a date or drinks by the harbour. Quality Japanese in a lovely waterside setting is a winning combination, and Nagisa has clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 1,200 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular waterfront restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table by the water on Honeysuckle Drive.
