About KODA Sydney

Loud, kinetic, and centered on open flames, KODA delivers Japanese-style dishes and top-tier drinks right at the counter. Grab a stool by the grill—watching the kitchen work the coals provides pure kappo-style theater. Crowd sentiment zeroes in on the playful crossover plates: rich lasagne gyoza, seared pork belly, and tender scallops. Those running blank on the menu leave the choices to the chef, pairing skewered bites with Sydney-lauded cocktails and soupless lobster ramen.

  • Counter-Side Grill Theater: Stools set directly before the fiery kitchen let diners watch every skewer and plate come together over the coals.
  • Playful Japanese Crossovers: Inventive plates shake up classic formulas with unexpected crossovers like lasagne gyoza and soupless lobster ramen.
  • Standout Cocktail Program: Strong craft mixed drinks back up the food menu, fueling the room's high-tempo, energetic pace.
