I love this place!!! 10/10 every time, I'm a local and this is my favourite restaurant. The food is impeccable, service is great, cocktails and wine are delicious but more importantly the food, the flavours are an explosion in ur mouth. I could eat their food all day every day...yum yum yum

Best restaurant in Manly hands down! Food is amazing! Cocktails are delicious! Service is 5 star! My one and only complaint is that they don't have a by the glass Champagne on the menu. I've asked quite a few times for them to add one, but they're not hearing me. It would just make my experience extra special if they added a bottle of bubbles sold by the glass to the menu.

Love Sunset Sabi! Its perfect to go for a casual meal with friends or date night. The best way is to order three or four dishes and share. I love the double double gyoza and the soba noodles. The cocktails are all really yummy and they have a good winer selection. Highly recommend!
This place gets packed, has pulsing music, a great vibe and attentive staff. The crowd are mostly young bp’s. The cocktail guys are mesmerising to watch while you wait for your meals. And you will wait.
We ordered kingfish, unagi, endamame, and wagyu beef. They were good but the portions are tiny so order a lot of plates or you may end up at the pizza joint up the road like I did. We paid $75 with one beer, so not exactly cheap.

We had lunch here and loved it, blue waffle taco was brilliant and the sashimi bowl. If you would like to try something different give this place a go. Japanese with a western heavy twist
I love this restaurant and I am so stoked it's open for lunch now! Great option for vegetarians, I can go crazy on the menu which is rare for me with Japanese cuisine. I love the decor, the staff are incredible and manage to remember everything without writing it down (goals). This place gets busy so I highly recommend making a reservation!
Great lil spot for Japanese - great ambience and decor. Food was delicious and service was fantastic ! A lil on the expensive side but good food nonetheless 😊 the paper menu is not extremely appealing - would defs suggest a revamp on those! Would go back for a date night perhaps 😊
Sunset Sabi is a hidden gem in Manly which serves up fusion Japanese and came highly recommended by one of our friends. We were quite impressed by what we found when we dropped by for a special group dinner with a friend visiting from Hong Kong. With larger groups of 8 or more people, you have to get their Chef’s Tasting Menu but luckily at Sunset Sabi this actually a great value option at $45 a head for 10 shared dishes.
Took my partner here for his birthday dinner and it was a truly memorable evening.
The 'Japanese fusion' food sounds a bit weird but every dish was delectable with just the right balance of flavours.
There were also plenty of vegetarian options (which is great for someone not big on seafood).
Pretty much every dish is a tasting share plate, each of which are beautifully presented, and deceivingly substantial portions.
The ambiance is nice, decor interesting, and staff are very professional and attentive.
A lovely girl named Lulu was our waiter and she was excellent - I cannot commend her enough.
Thank you for an awesome dining experience.

Cute Mexican and Japanese fusion Izakaya style restaurant. Loved the Japanese signs above the bar area. Need to book in advanced. There are two seatings for dinner: 6pm and 8pm. Staff were friendly and attentive.
I'd love to rate this higher but I've been to similar priced restaurants with a similar concept (modern take on Japanese dining) and more tastier options on their menus (such as Tokyo Tina and Mr Miyagi in Melbourne). Nothing on Sunset Sabi's menu screamed out "eat me now!" unfortunately, even with the waiters recommendations.
Ordered the baked sushi and fried onigiri balls which were okay. It was strange having warm riced sushi but it worked, and was comfort-food like. The fried onigiri ball is pretty much an arancini.
Best thing we ate was the Mexican king fish sushi. It was fabulous: all the flavours worked so amazingly together and the pineapple puree topped with a slice of jalapeno finished the palate well. Love the crunch factor of the sushi too.
One of our mains was interesting. I would try another dish next time. The duck was tender, juicy and delicious. The sides were confusing: soaked watermelon (they were slimy in texture), combined with crumbs and a runny egg yolk. Wasn't sure if I was meant to combine them all? I did anyway and the taste was unusual.
Our other main was of pulled beef and tacos were delicious too, although nothing really to rave about. Watch out for the spicy kick though!
I would definitely come back to this place and will try other items on their menu. Hopefully they'll be more appetizing.
When I heard about the owners of my favourite Manly Mexican Chica Bonita opening another restaurant in Manly I just had to come and see what all the hype was about. Cocktails, interesting sushi combinations and Mexican influences is what you can enjoy at this hip, relaxed eatery. To start we tried the Shtballs which are actually like arancini balls with shiitake mushrooms inside. Yum. The Dynamite sushi is impressive with prawns and scallops covered with a creamy sauce. Super chicken is like a typical karaage deep fried dish. Finally, my favourite dish of the evening was the Kingfish in a Mexico roll served on impressive Japanese platter. This place has all the essential elements necessary for a great night out!
Love sunset sabi!
Japanese fusion at its best: fresh, tasty, nice atmosphere, nice bar area and benches
Great waiting area at the back, and great staff
Absolutely top notch service. From the host caringly putting us on a wait list then following through, to our waitresses who were doing ten things at once while keeping a smile with a mask on - just brilliant and most appreciated in these covid times. Our dishes as pictured were as delicious as it looks, with the prawns and the dank roll being stand outs. The only minor flaw was the after thought "sweet burger" desert, which was a miss. I wouldn't re-order it. In all, excellent place with an amazing pumping, rowdy vibe. Great place to eat with friends.
Excellent service!! Delicious, feast for eyes as well for your taste buds!! It was a very special occasion and we couldn't be more happier with our choice to celebrate at Sunset Sabi! Cocktails are a must while at SS!! Top notch service!!🥳
Great vibes, delicious food, lovely service. Everything is perfect to enjoy a nice diner with friends.
We were seated at the bar it was so intimate and very nice.
Fancy and tasty Japanese food.
There is a terrace in summer.

Thanks guys, lovely place to be and no complaint for service and food , one point lost was music not fit environment. Please take my advise . Both waiters are nice and kind , will introduce your food and how to eat it . Time controls and top up on time . Definitely deserve tips. This place is very busy please give them time to pick up your call and back to you if you wait in front door . Dinner open 16:00pm-22:00pm, please make reservation if possible . NO BYO
It is a Modern JP food place ,when you first walk in this place you feel like “hold one . This is not a sushi place .” Sabi mix OZ soul in JP food . Relax but everything still keep details.
I had four dish by myself , can’t stop and absolutely love most of them .
Must try item is opening with double double gyoza , trust me this is the gyoza you never had in your life .made with Waugh beef cheese ,Mac sauce and veggies. First bit with full mouth of Wagyu , but you still have this Mac and cheese favorite. What a companion!!!
I always order Karage in JP restaurants, this dish is not easy , sabi did 7/10 , crisp and chicken is not too dry . Favor was just ok , keep your double double gyoza sauce for this karage ,You will thank me late .
Main dish I had is dank , seafood sushi roll, fresh but not fishy . You also can request Nigir .
Last one I had is chicken yakitori , not recommend, it is not traditional yakitori , more like chicken meat ball ,I am not a fan with this one .
All in all , lovely place to be , if you want to try all dish in one go , ask your friends of four , come together with you and try set menu .
Great place! The vibe is so good and the food is amazing. The staff are really friendly.
Very nice, friendly Service, great food. The kingfish in Mexico dish is amazing. Thoroughly recommended
The food is fantastic, excellent range of drinks to select from. The service is fantastic and second to none.
If one is looking for a great Japanese cuisine. I highly recommend to dine here.
Prices are just as great as the food and service.
Highly recommended ten out of ten.
Thank you for a great night to the team at Sunset Sabi!!
