Come one, come all! From the streets of Tokyo, Japan to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia –- Kayzo DQ is bringing the spirit of sharing Japanese-inspired dishes with you and your families.
According to the Kanji definition of the word Kayzo, it is a place where many people gather; a place where the ocean and the ground meet. It is most fitting to the atmosphere that Kayzo DQ has created with what was once a pop-up restaurant venue in Oud Square.
Rooted from its upper class flagship restaurant, Myazu, Kayzo was created to provide a more casual dining experience. Particularly to the residents of the Diplomatic Quarter who would prefer a nearby location that offers a quick bite for lunch or a wonderful dinner for the family without breaking the bank or getting stuck in traffic.
Inside the restaurant are deep hues of blue and browns, reminiscent of the colors of the land and sea. The tableware is noticeably beautiful with earthen serving dishes that were minimalist in nature but pleasing to touch and use. There are comfortable sofa seatings and wide open windows; almost like a large, elegant living room that can entertain a number of guests. Compared to Myazu, there is no dress code requirement at Kayzo. Feel free to come as you are, whether from a long day at work or from a simple walk around the DQ. Kids are most welcome here and they pride themselves in being a family-friendly restaurant. The staff will usher you in with their warm smiles and cordial hospitality.
Kayzo’s menu is designed for small plates to share (sharing concept) with a broader spectrum of choices, hence a table of two or more can enjoy a variety of dishes that they can share. Items like the Popcorn Shrimp, Prawn Chilli Garlic Gyoza, and Marinated Yellowtail are great options for a light and straightforward appetizer; while the Baos and Maki selections make for a slightly heavier bite with the Japanese Beef Sando and Smoked Eel Maki – both exuding bolder and memorable flavors and textures.
They intend to introduce new items in the menu on a regular basis. Currently, one of the highlights of their main course menu is their rendition of Kimchi Fried Rice where they have taken a Wagyu short rib and smoked it and added to Japanese rice mixed with kimchi and a sunny side up egg in the middle. It is foremost a visually appealing dish and the meat will melt in your mouth like butter. The kimchi and pepper mix gives it its umami note and the mushroom used adds to the flair of it in every bite. For other main course options, there’s also the Tempura Fish and Chips, which makes use of the Najil fillet that is exclusive to the Red Sea and the Black Cod with Miso that is a classic Japanese recipe.
For drinks, the Japanese Mint Refresher lives up to its name with the mixture of yuzu and lemon juice, rose water, ginger syrup, and mint. The Melon Kyuri is a new item on the menu made with fresh cantaloupe, cucumber, and peach soda. There’s also a variety of hot beverages such as Black Cherry Tea and Sencha Tea to name a few.
Their dessert variety is kept modest with just the Date Cake, Warm Miso Cookie and Mochi selection to choose from. All three though is a sufficiently sweet way to end any meal.
For a classy yet affordable dining experience, Kayzo is a fitting choice for your next gathering. With a convenient distance to the residences and business in the DQ, a menu that does not compromise on flavor and creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere to family and friends, it’s simply waiting for you to meet it.
