Hanami

Hanami sits on David Low Way at Coolum Beach, a relaxed beachside town on the Sunshine Coast. A Japanese restaurant — its name evoking the cherry-blossom season — it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, authentic Japanese cooking, the kind of accomplished spot that's become a genuine favourite for a quality Japanese feed near the beach.

The appeal is that combination of fresh, quality Japanese food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, welcoming setting in a convenient Coolum location, ideal for a casual dinner, a special meal or a quality Japanese feast. For anyone craving authentic Japanese food on the Sunshine Coast, Hanami has clearly hit the mark, drawing a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 450 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular restaurant fills up over weekends and holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or keen for a quality Japanese feed at Coolum Beach.
