Ken's Kissa Japanese Cafe

I appreciate that everyone has their own favourite local haunts, and for us, Ken’s Kissa Japanese Cafe is the perfect example.

This is our most popular article on our humble little blog, so we wanted to provide a quick update to all of our readers. Jenn originally wrote this back in 2018 and since then we have moved on from our little one bedder in Neutral Bay.

Recently we went back to Ken's Kissa with our now 2-year-old and can confirm the food is just as amazing as it was back when we first visited. The owner was so excited to see us, and she even took a selfie with us to send to her daughter who once used to serve us there. If you're visiting Neutral Bay you MUST visit Ken's Kissa!

I love sampling the best and brightest of Sydney gems as much as the next socialite, but when it comes to seeking comfort and consistency, having a ‘local joint’ is more important than anything. I appreciate that everyone has their own favourite local haunts, and for us, Ken’s Kissa Japanese Cafe is the perfect example.

Unassumingly nestled between a laundromat and a vacant retail space on bustling Military in the leafy Neutral Bay, Ken’s Kissa occupies a long corridor fronted by the most charming and friendly Japanese lady you will ever meet.

Take a seat and order your beverage of choice. Mine usually involves caffeine, and trust me, they do them well here. While waiting for your cup of joe, flick through their extensive menu consisting of typical Aussie favourites as well as Japanese-oriented dishes.

Between Jase and I, we’ve almost tried everything on the menu. Some of our favourites include Eggs Benedict, Chicken Karaage Bento, breakfast wraps and burgers. The quality of food here is consistently great, but what really makes this place stand out for us is the service.

Nothing is ever too much trouble and the ladies behind the counter makes each customer feel welcomed and special.
