Kaiza Izakaya makes its mark on the bustling eating precinct of Enmore Rd. The restaurant is opened by Chef Jason Nguyen of Sokyo and Chukka fame. From watching his Dad cook traditional Vietnamese dishes and his Japanese culinary education, he has envisioned a way to marry the two cuisines together. His skills and cultural understanding of the South East are unparalleled, with this, Kaiza Izakaya was born. The kitchen is a replica of a traditional South East Asian family home, lined with the smoking hot binchotan charcoal grill and piping hot woks. Kaiza is your home away from home, enjoy with friends and family, solo or for your next special occasion.

The artist and one of his expressions.

For Kaiza’s head chef Jason, Mix Sashimi is an example of knowing when to let the ingredient speak. Clean cuts and careful handling put the quality of the seafood first, reflecting the restraint and precision he developed through years in Japanese kitchens.

Meet the thinking behind the menu this Spring Holidays at Kaiza.

Every Kaiza experience has to start somewhere.

At $55pp, Kaiza Discovery is an introduction to the different sides of our Vietnamese–Japanese approach, moving through seven dishes designed to be shared and explored at your own pace. From fresh seafood to comforting favourites, vegetables and Shio Koji Chicken, it gives the table a taste of what Kaiza is all about without having to choose just one direction from the menu.

Make Kaiza Discovery part of your Spring Holidays in Newtown.

Spring evenings call for a table worth slowing down for.

Shark Bay Claypot brings Australian seafood to the table alongside a glass of white w**e, making it an easy choice for a long Friday dinner in Newtown. With the Spring Holidays underway, there’s a little more time to settle in and enjoy the night.

Spend a Spring Holiday evening around the table at Kaiza.

Midweek comfort, the Kaiza way.

Prawn Tempura Udon brings crisp prawns and comforting noodles together in a dish grounded in Japanese tradition. It’s the kind of bowl that suits a relaxed Wednesday dinner while showing the more comforting side of the Kaiza menu.

Settle in with Prawn Tempura Udon at Kaiza.

The brief said to film the best thing at Kaiza, so naturally we turned the camera around.

The kitchen might have something to say about that, but the confidence is already there.

Just another day behind the scenes at Kaiza.

Behind every service is a kitchen built on working together.

Kaiza’s head chef Jason brings his Vietnamese roots and experience in Japanese kitchens into a team where preparation, communication, and respect for ingredients matter at every stage. While we’re closed on Mondays, this work behind the scenes is part of what shapes every plate once service begins.

Join us when the kitchen returns on Wednesday.
