Kid Kyoto

Hidden in the heart of Sydney’s bustling city centre lies an underground refuge for urban rebels and misfits – Kid Kyoto, a rebellious izakaya with a serious penchant for good food and drinks.

Inspired by grunge music, it is no surprise that Kid Kyoto is turning up the heat on contemporary Japanese cuisine. The dynamic, casual and edgy team pair the raw energy of the Aussie rock scene with fresh local produce, keeping things fiercely local.

Some of the menu’s tastiest delights demand attention: grilled prawns with yuzu chilli rayu and burnt butter deliver a zesty punch, while salt and pepper tofu, seasoned with five spices, chilli and coriander, sparks bold, shareable flavours. Culminate the rock-and-roll-inspired night in style with a sweet dessert of tiramisu, fusing miso, dulce de leche and cocoa nib crumble – a dish that re-educates the palate, a challenge this local gem is more than happy to accept.

The vibrant menu is matched by Kid Kyoto’s buzzing ambience, amplifying every bite with energy, charm and a playful, unforgettable dining atmosphere.
