About Kazan Japanese Dining

Tucked inside 25 Martin Place, Kazan balances high-energy CBD polish with moody, theatre-inspired dining. The room hums with corporate lunches and Friday night tables ordering rounds of wagyu tacos and cuttlefish tempura. Raw bar regulars bypass the decision fatigue entirely and opt for the tasting menu—an easy progression moving from pristine kingfish sashimi to robata-grilled striploin with Brussels sprouts. Plates arrive with instinctive omotenashi, timed neatly between courses without ever rushing the table. Dinner winds down over miso fondant alongside a Kyoto Protocol cocktail.

  • Modern Robata & Raw Menus: Tasting courses transition smoothly from kingfish sashimi and wagyu tacos to robata striploin with charred Brussels sprouts.
  • Theatrical Martin Place Setting: A dramatic dining room accented with timber, marble, and copper sets an energetic scene for CBD dinners and dates.
  • Proactive CBD Hospitality: Front-of-house staff manage fast corporate lunch turnarounds and milestone dinners with intuitive, attentive pacing.

Signature contemporary dishes central to the tasting menu and dining experience

  • Wagyu Tacos

    The menu was superb - highlights included the Wagyu tacos, the incredibly fresh seafood, the perfectly cooked striploin, and a delicious dessert to finish.

  • Striploin

    The striploin as well - cooked absolutely perfectly, chimichurri topping was amazing. All of it melted in your mouth. VERY flavoursome.

  • Edamame

    Edamame is normally the most basic staple of Japanese cuisine, but the folk at Kazan did something so incredible with their edamame recipe that we quickly realised this was far from a basic restaurant - this was next level.

  • Cuttlefish Tempura

    and the cuttlefish tempura was cooked beautifully: light, fresh, and not oily at all.

    the other three preferred the miso fondant—both were excellent in their own way

  • Ichigo Cheesecake

    Lucky last, but not least, was the Ichigo Cheesecake. I only wish that we had gotten two desserts instead of one to share as this was delicate, light, yet decadent
