Hikari

Hikari brings a modern Japanese dining experience to Teneriffe, with a menu that moves from sashimi, oysters and sushi rolls to hot dishes, ramen, Japanese curry, grilled meats and desserts. The selection includes plenty of options for sharing, including tuna tacos, gyoza, karaage, tempura, bao buns and larger plates such as wagyu karubi and unagi kabayaki. There are also vegetarian and vegan choices, along with dishes marked for gluten-free or gluten-friendly requirements on the menu.

The sashimi section offers individual choices including salmon, tuna, scallop and kingfish, as well as chef-selected assortments. For something more substantial, the menu includes wagyu sando made with thick-cut wagyu katsu, salmon teriyaki served with edamame and avocado mash, and seafood lava with butter-sautéed seafood on sushi rice. Sushi options range from nigiri and hosomaki to elaborate rolls such as the Dragon Roll, Tiger Roll and New Farm Roll. Desserts include matcha cheesecake, ginger brûlée and Dassai 45 ice cream.

Hikari’s own story centres on balance: between Japanese tradition and new ideas, careful technique and creativity, and refinement and warmth. The restaurant says its approach is shaped by Japanese craftsmanship, premium ingredients and time-honoured methods, with each dish intended to respect its origins while offering a contemporary interpretation. Hospitality is equally central, with the team guided by the Japanese concept of omotenashi and an emphasis on attentive, genuine service.

The Teneriffe dining room is described as intimate yet sophisticated, designed for celebrations, quieter meals and shared occasions. That makes Hikari a natural choice for a date, a group dinner or a special catch-up, while the broad menu also gives diners who prefer lighter, plant-based or cooked options room to choose. Bookings and takeaway orders are available, and a bento box menu is offered during the stated Friday-to-Sunday lunch period. With its Japanese focus, varied menu and polished but welcoming setting, Hikari suits diners looking for more than a quick sushi stop in Brisbane.
