About KinJo Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Randwick locals drop into this family-run spot for generous sushi platters, steaming noodle bowls, and set bento lunches. The kitchen works through a sprawling menu without missing a beat—turning out crisp chicken katsu, spicy seafood udon, and smoky grilled whole squid with rice. Settle into the clean dining room with your own bottle or a hot sake, while nearby UNSW students flash their IDs for cash discounts. Order a tiger roll finished with spicy mayo, or take home ramen packed tight so the broth stays right where it belongs.

  • Licensed & BYO Flexibility: Bring your own favourite bottle or order hot sake directly from the bar.
  • Student Cash Discount: UNSW cardholders secure a discount when paying with cash at the counter.
  • Broad Traditional Menu: An expansive lineup covers fresh sushi rolls, katsu bento, donburi, and comforting noodle broths.
