By day it’s a coffee house and Bondi institution of more than 25 years, Harry’s. By night it’s a beachside izakaya called RND. Short for Raw Next Door, you’ll find it next door to Raw Bar. All three businesses—along with Lulu up on Hall … More

Each food item took quite some time to be prepared. Flavours were good, however our oysters were definitely not fresh. The sauce on top of the oysters was lovely but still couldn't hide the rotten taste of those oysters. Such a shame. More

What can I say? S E N S A T I O N AL !!! Every dish was delicious. A perfect restaurant for those who love raw fish and oysters! We indulged in quite few spicy signature Tommy cocktails during our very long lunch whilst savouring every dish! Best door to Harry’s and easy to get to by public transport too! 100% we will be back!!

It’s always extra fun when you run into something awesome unexpectedly. I was peckish, RND was there. What a lucky chance. The prawn and nduja wontons were an absolutely smashing dish, I am bound to have cravings. Oysters and tuna tataki were very good as well. Great service, good vibe, nice location. More

Food was good (what we managed to get) but the service was lacking and poor.
Placed an order and the waiter did not log it with the kitchen. (Not sure how that is even possible, and how no waiter even realised until asked) … More

We had a delightful dinner at RND for my dad’s BD. Attentive service, quick to bring out the food. Everything was delicious from their edamame and chop salad, their rice cubes, sashimi, chicken, wagyu. Drinks also great, I had a nice sake. Nice buzz but not noisy. And no leftovers! Keen to return. Thanks for a great meal More
