If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience that blends the precision of Japanese cuisine with the bold flavors of Brazilian and Peruvian influences—all while being 100% halal—then Tokyo Samba in Bankstown, Sydney, is your next must-visit spot.
A Culinary Fusion Like No Other
Spearheaded by acclaimed chef Chase Kojima—famous for his work at Sokyo and Nobu Bahamas—Tokyo Samba is redefining halal dining in Sydney. The restaurant fuses authentic Japanese techniques with the vibrant, spice-driven flavors of South American cuisine, offering a menu unlike anything else in the city.
One of the standout features of Tokyo Samba is its Josper charcoal grill, an elite cooking method that locks in rich, smoky flavors. Diners can indulge in premium cuts of Wagyu beef, miso-marinated Glacier 51 toothfish, and lobster drenched in kombu butter—each dish grilled to perfection.
For those who love sushi, Tokyo Samba takes it up a notch with creative sushi and sashimi platters, including Wagyu beef nigiri drizzled with pomegranate teriyaki and kingfish sushi topped with pineapple and salsa. The menu also boasts innovative fusion dishes like udon carbonara and an array of vibrant ceviche selections, giving diners a true East-meets-West experience.
A 100% Halal and Alcohol-Free Experience
Tokyo Samba is not only a haven for food lovers but also a fully halal-certified restaurant, ensuring a welcoming space for all diners. In addition to its halal steak, seafood, and sushi, the restaurant offers a unique, alcohol-free beverage program designed to enhance your dining experience.
From house-infused mocktails to non-alcoholic wines, the drinks menu is crafted with the same attention to detail as the food. Signature beverages like the verjus spritz with elderflower and lemon or the Citrus Shaman—a blend of white pine needles, fenugreek, honey, and citrus—are sophisticated, refreshing, and perfectly complement the restaurant’s bold flavors.
