Kenjin Dining

Kenjin Dining effortlessly synthesises traditional Japanese techniques with modern, inventive flavours to create truly unique dishes.

Located in the heart of Fortitude Valley, this intimate eatery is brimming with atmosphere. Koi fish swim across walls splashed with Far Eastern motifs and velvet curtains seem to glow an eerie teal when the lights dim. Plush leather seating, cherry blossom trees and Japanese linens round off the décor, creating a dark, moody, intimate dining room.

Kenjin’s menu features a mix of approachable and experimental dishes that rely on the finest ingredients. The raw plates are a true showcase of the kitchen’s skill, with the hiramasa kingfish, yuzu soy and jalapeño salsa perfectly married to present a fresh yet vibrant dish. Likewise, the Wagyu tataki can’t be overlooked. Served with a ponzu, pickled shimeji mushrooms and crispy shallots, the importance of using top-quality Wagyu steak is clear at first taste.

A perfect way to start your night in Brisbane City, Kenjin is a must-try!
