Chi Kinjo (CLOSED)

Joining the stable of bars and eateries under Coterie Concepts like Sum Yi Tai, Mona Lounge, and Eliza, Chi Kinjo is a modern Japanese izakaya that specialises in mod-sushi and whiskey highballs. Helmed by Chef Lamley Chua, the menu is split between starters, maki, aburi nigiri, hot small plates and hot big plates. And while tradition is something that is honoured, Chua levels things up with flavours from South America with the sashimi ceviche ($18) and the Chinese-inspired Miso crispy pork belly ($24) and the selection of aburi nigiri ($12 for 2). Drink highlights include the classic whiskey highball ($12) and the refreshing Gin & Ginger ($16).
