Conveniently located in Collins Place, CBD, Kenzan has been loved for generations by locals, business people and families alike. We have been proudly serving authentic Japanese cuisine for over 40 years since 1981.
Kenzan honours the traditional cooking methods and provides the diners with a true Japanese culinary experience. Our friendly staff welcome you to the spacious main dining room or sushi bar, where the warm and relaxing ambience allows you to immerse yourself in the occasion.If you prefer a more private setting, you are welcome to book one of our elegant Japanese tatami rooms.
Our menu allows you to choose from exquisite sushi and sashimi or an extensive a la carte selection, offering the diners genuine Japanese while also catering for their needs. The meal is complemented by a vast selection of wine, sake and other drinks of your choice.
Kenzan is named in honour of the renowned Edo period potter, Ogata Kenzan (1663-1743). He was renowned for his impeccable artisanship and perfectionism, qualities which inspire us to do our best in everything we do.
We are proud of serving genuine Japanese cuisine and strive to deliver the best to our customers as a whole team. Eight Japanese chefs, led by the master head chef with 14 years of experience in Japan and over 20 years in Australia, work together to ensure excellence. Many alumni chefs opened their own restaurants after obtaining skills, knowledge and experience at Kenzan.
At Kenzan, chefs only select the freshest premium ingredients. We pay close attention to details, especially to our sushi rice. Everything is meticulously maintained from the recipe of sushi vinegar, the length of time the rice is immersed in it and even the temperature of sushi rice being served – which is kept close to body temperature. We love perfection.
An attentive floor staff maintains the level of excellence with timely service, attention to detail and helpful knowledge to maximise your dining experience.
