Kaizai Zakaya

Proving that the Vietnamese and Japanese cultures are a force to be reckoned with, Kaizai Zakaya in the Inner West combines both cuisines beautifully.

At Kaiza, diners experience a seamless blend of Japanese and Vietnamese culinary traditions, masterfully led by Chef Jason Nguyen. The restaurant prides itself on its commitment to quality, sourcing only the finest ingredients to create innovative dishes that respect traditional flavours. The ambience invites guests to embark on an unforgettable journey of taste, celebrating the artful fusion of two rich cuisines.

For starters, opt for the ‘Renko Chip’ – a vegan dish with Aosa nori and sate mayo, excellent with a beer or lovely cocktail. Meat lovers would do well to tune into Kaiza’s ‘Grilled Lamb Ribs’ with yuzu miso, negi relish, broccolini and ito togarashi.

Snap up the lip-smacking ‘Bluefin Tuna’ next, with spicy nuoc cham, grilled onion, toska aka, and shiso. It would be a crime to leave without tasting some of Kaiza’s fabulous seafood, so how about giving the ‘Hokkaido Scallop’ a go? Laden with mentai mayo, black tobiko, and nori, it’s a bowl of beauty.
