About KushiMaru

KushiMaru transports late-night diners straight to Tokyo with smoke-infused skewers, bubbling hotpots, and chilled draft beer. Tucked away on Elizabeth Street, the CBD spot buzzes into the early hours with fast rhythms and neon-tinged energy. Regulars drop in after hours for charred yakitori, rich sukiyaki, and sashimi, firing off orders seamlessly from booth tablets or phone QR codes. Pour a highball or cold sake while the kitchen works through skewers of chicken heart and crisp gyoza.

  • Late-Night CBD Dining: Serves a full menu of skewers, ramen, and hotpots late into the night in central Brisbane.
  • At-Table Digital Ordering: Booths equipped with wall tablets and QR codes allow guests to order food and drinks on demand.
