MEET THE TEAM | THE PEOPLE BEHIND KINJO 🇯🇵

Meet Nick | Chef-Patron

With 23 years of experience in professional kitchens, Nick Politakos has dedicated his life to the art of cooking.

Since the very beginning of KINJO in 2018, he has been the vision and driving force behind our kitchen.

A perfectionist, patient yet demanding, and someone who never settles for anything less than excellence — especially from himself.

His passion goes beyond cooking. It’s about sharing the philosophy of Japanese cuisine, inspiring his team, and ensuring every guest leaves with a smile and something new to discover.

Outside the kitchen? Panathinaikos, Liverpool, classic rock, and motorcycles. ☘️ ♥️🎸🏍️

An endless pursuit of perfection.

For Nick, KINJO isn’t just a restaurant. It’s his vision brought to life. ❤️

Meet Tani! ❤️

For the past 7 years, Tani Trần has been our chef’s right-hand man, one of his most trusted collaborators like Vassilis & Fotini and an essential part of our journey.

Always learning, always improving, and never settling for less. His attention to detail, endless energy, and ability to perform under pressure make him truly special.

Beyond the kitchen, he’s a fashion lover, a passionate billiards player, and the guy who always brings humor to the team!

Seven years of loyalty, countless challenges, and unforgettable moments.

More than a colleague, Tani is family.

Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️

Meet Vasilis! Vassilis Birbas

Some people are not simply part of a kitchen.
They become part of its foundation.

Vasilis has been by our Chef’s side almost since the very opening of KINJO, growing together with the philosophy, discipline, and rhythm of our kitchen.

Over the years, he has come to know not only the sushi station, but the rest of the kitchen as well, proving every day that experience, dedication, and hard work always make the difference.

He is old-school, tireless, and deeply committed to what he does.
With many years of experience and a long journey through different restaurants in the past, he brings maturity, knowledge, and strength to our team every single day.

And beyond all that, we owe him a huge “Arigato”— because with true passion and care, he has also taken on the staff meal, always putting his heart into feeding the team as only a real man with “meraki” can. ❤️

At KINJO, people like Vasilis are not just valuable.
They are essential.

Focused, dedicated, and always willing to grow, he has developed a strong understanding of the sushi station, becoming an important part of the daily rhythm of KINJO.

A true Panathinaikos supporter, with his own unique energy, he is known to us all by the nickname “Teoulis” aka “Little God” in Greek — a name that reflects the familiarity and closeness we share as a team.

At KINJO, every person brings something different, and that is what makes our kitchen stronger every day.

From the Greek sea to the Sushi Counter. 🇯🇵🥢

The beauty of Japanese cuisine lies in knowing when to let the ingredients speak for themselves.

Freshness, seasonality, and the unique character of each fish shape the experience, while every preparation reflects the chef’s personal approach.

At KINJO Japanese Restobar, we don’t simply serve Japanese cuisine. We share our passion for the sea, one slice at a time.
