A development application for Japanese seafood chain Get Sashimi has been submitted to open a new outlet on The Corso, Manly. The proposed venue would be the brand’s third Sydney location, following successful openings in Bondi and Coogee.
Expansion Plans for Popular Japanese Seafood Chain
Get Sashimi, founded by seafood entrepreneur Antonio Muollo, is seeking approval to establish a two-level eatery in the former Billabong store at 63-67 The Corso, Manly. The proposal includes building alterations, new fit-out works across the ground and mezzanine levels, and signage replacement. Plans also detail the demolition of existing structures and the construction of a rear doorway to enclose a relocated sprinkler booster.
According to the submitted development application (DA2025/0155), the project is estimated to cost $505,450. The public exhibition period for the application runs from 5 March to 19 March 2025.
What to Expect at Get Sashimi Manly
If approved, the Manly outlet will offer a similar experience to its Eastern Suburbs counterparts. The ground floor will feature a counter and display cases showcasing more than 90 sushi and sashimi options, with limited seating for four diners. A mezzanine level will provide dine-in space for 16 guests.
The menu is expected to include 20 fresh sashimi options such as snapper, scallops, tuna, toothfish, and abalone. Patrons can also expect popular offerings like fresh salmon and tuna “sandwiches,” mixed sashimi bowls, and salmon poke bowls.
Like its Bondi and Coogee locations, the Manly branch is anticipated to serve unique flavour combinations, including sashimi topped with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Sushi options such as chicken katsu and avocado rolls, along with miso soup and fresh oysters, will also be available.
Trading hours for the new location are proposed to be between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., and it will open seven days a week.
The Growth of Get Sashimi in Sydney
Mr Muollo, 25, launched Get Sashimi in 2023 as an extension of his seafood delivery business, GetFish. Established in 2018, GetFish supplies fresh seafood to Sydney homes and restaurants from De Costi at the Sydney Fish Market, generating an annual turnover of approximately $30 million.
Mr Muollo has stated that Get Sashimi was created to meet the demand for quick, health-conscious seafood options. Following the success of his Bondi and Coogee stores, the entrepreneur has been eyeing expansion into the northern beaches.
Next Steps for the Manly Proposal
With the DA now open for public submissions, NBC will review feedback before making a determination. If approved, Get Sashimi Manly could open later this year, further expanding its footprint in Sydney’s coastal dining scene.
