About Shiba's Kitchen

Generous, home-style Japanese cooking anchors this relaxed Pyrmont corner spot. Patrons pack the tables for hearty teishoku trays loaded with crispy tonkatsu, rice, and steaming miso soup, or stop by the window benches for a quiet solo lunch alongside stuffed Shiba mascots. Plates arrive quickly—crisp gyoza, thick futomaki, and comforting chicken katsu curry spiced to order.

  • Hearty Teishoku Sets: Multi-dish trays pair crunchy tonkatsu or bulgogi beef with fresh sides, rice, and hot miso soup.
  • Solo Window Benches: Solo diners find a quiet retreat at dedicated window counters equipped with plush canine mascots.
  • Family Friendly: Accommodates family outings with available baby chairs, kid-friendly utensils, and comforting noodle bowls.

Why Diners Choose Shiba's Kitchen

Authentic teishoku sets, solo-friendly window perches, and welcoming family hospitality in Pyrmont.

  • Generous Teishoku Set Trays

    Complete meal trays pair freshly fried katsu or mains with rice, sides, and miso soup for a filling meal.

    The katsu teishoku was just right — crispy, flavorful, and freshly made. The rice and miso soup completed the meal beautifully, reminding me of home-style Japanese cooking.
