About
Chef Takashi Yamamoto brings a uniquely focused culinary philosophy to Choji Omakase: more than 20 years training in both yakiniku and kaiseki in Japan has produced a chef deeply versed in the transformative qualities of fire, heat, and exceptional beef. The counter sits above Choji Yakiniku on Victoria Avenue in Chatswood, accessible through the ground-floor yakiniku restaurant and ascending to a more intimate, curated omakase setting. Co-founded with sushi master Tomoyuki Matsuya through the Tabero Group — Japanese-owned and operated — the concept has attracted a dedicated following from both the Japanese diaspora in Chatswood and Sydney's broader omakase community. Reservations are released on the 15th of each month online only via chefstable.au. The menu starts at 18:30 sharp; punctuality is required.
