The Best Japanese Restaurants In Sydney To Book In 2026
Kazan has found its place among Sydney CBD Japanese restaurants, with Urban List highlighting the venue for its modern interpretation of traditional Japanese cuisine and its theatrical approach to dining. Set on Level 8 of 25 Martin Place, Kazan brings together refined Japanese staples with a more playful selection of dishes designed to complement its robata grill.
The menu moves from carefully prepared sashimi, nigiri and maki rolls to heartier dishes cooked over the robata grill. Alongside these Japanese favourites, Urban List points to crispy tacos filled with Wagyu or salmon confit as examples of Kazan’s contemporary approach to Japanese dining in Sydney.
Drinks are another part of the experience, with Japanese-inspired signature cocktails, a considered sake selection and a mix of local and international wines. The article also notes that Kazan’s menu is 100% Halal, with vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options available, adding further flexibility to the contemporary Japanese dining experience.
For Urban List, Kazan represents a modern CBD take on Japanese dining—bringing together traditional foundations, contemporary dishes and a strong drinks program within its distinctive 25 Martin Place setting. Its combination of sushi, robata cooking and modern Japanese cuisine gives it a distinctive place within Sydney’s Japanese restaurant scene.
