About Chidori Japanese Kitchen

Tucked away in Manly West, this modest suburban counter turns out meticulously crafted Japanese dining built on pristine seafood and unhurried culinary discipline. The room is quiet and intentionally small—a handful of tables accompanied by subdued lighting and low background music. Tables fill up quickly, making advance reservations essential for dining in, though regulars also lean on swift takeaway orders when the floor is packed. Bring your own bottle to pair with tender aburi wagyu, crisp tempura prawns, or bowls of warm agedashi tofu.

  • Intimate Table Seating: Operating with only a handful of tables, the dining room fills quickly and relies on advance bookings.
  • BYO Dining: Guests can bring their preferred drinks to accompany lunch sets or evening dinners.
  • Suburban Culinary Focus: Pristine sashimi, tender aburi wagyu, and delicate agedashi tofu anchor the kitchen's craft.

  • Micro-Capacity Seating by Reservation

    The intimate dining area has limited tables, making advance reservations essential for seated guests while offering takeaway flexibility.

    It is not very big inside with limited seating, so recommend you book a table or you will be disappointed & have to settle for takeaway.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, drinks, and parking for your visit to Chidori Japanese Kitchen.

  • Book in Advance

    With very limited indoor seating and high demand, tables fill quickly for both lunch and dinner. Reserve well in advance to secure a dine-in spot rather than relying on walk-ins.

  • Bring Your Own Drinks

    Chidori operates on a BYO policy, so remember to bring along your preferred wine, beer, or drinks if you plan to enjoy alcohol with your meal.

  • Plan for Nearby Street Parking

    Onsite parking spaces in the retail complex can fill up quickly during peak hours, but convenient street parking is available along adjacent secondary roads just a short stroll away.
