About
Etaru Hallandale Beach is the South Florida outpost of Rainer Becker's Japanese robatayaki concept, which opened at the Hyde Beach Club resort in 2018. Becker, who co-founded Zuma and Roka (Michelin-starred in London), spent years in Japanese restaurant kitchens before developing the Etaru concept as a more resort-focused expression of Japanese robatayaki cooking. Corporate Executive Chef Hamish Brown trained at Roka London, giving the kitchen a direct Michelin-caliber Japanese culinary lineage. The menu centers on the charcoal robata grill — skirt steak, teriyaki salmon, black cod, king crab — alongside a raw Japanese bar offering sashimi, maki, and nigiri. Multiple dining zones including an outdoor terrace, beach bar, and second-floor restaurant create a versatile, all-day venue. The Hallandale Beach location remains fully operational following the closure of the Las Olas Fort Lauderdale sister location.
Neighborhood & visiting

Etaru Hallandale Beach sits in Hallandale Beach, Broward County, one of Miami's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional izakaya restaurants often close between service periods.

Why it's on Washoku Guide
  • Rainer Becker's direct personal training in Japanese restaurants underpins a robatayaki culinary pedigree that only a handful of South Florida Japanese restaurants can match.
  • The Hyde Beach Club setting provides one of the most dramatic ocean-facing Japanese dining environments in Broward County, with beachside and terrace seating.
  • The Michelin-caliber kitchen lineage — via Roka London, where Executive Chef Brown trained — delivers a quality of Japanese technique well above what the casual resort setting might suggest.
  • The all-day format, from lunch through late dinner, combined with a beach bar and happy hour program, makes Etaru the most versatile Japanese dining destination on the Hallandale-Hollywood beachfront.

Happy hour runs daily with food specials. The beach bar section is more casual and walk-in friendly; the full restaurant requires reservations, especially on weekends. Dress code applies at dinner. — Format: Izakaya. Authenticity: Etaru is a concept by Rainer Becker — Zuma co-founder who trained extensively in Japanese restaurant kitchens — with Corporate Executive Chef Hamish Brown trained at Roka London, Becker's own Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant; robatayaki is the menu's central pillar.
