I had the pleasure of trying their Japanese Tortilla ($18), which consisted of soft shell tacos filled with soy braised pork belly, brown rice, pickled radish, eggs, shallot, coriander, lime, and mustard. The combination of flavors was simply delectable, with the soy braised pork belly stealing the show. Another highlight was the Spicy Buta n Kimuchi Toast with poached eggs ($18.5), featuring sliced pork belly, chives, garlic shoots, bean sprouts, and yakiniku sauce. Every bite was bursting with deliciousness, especially with the addition of kimchi. To end my meal on a sweet note, I indulged in the Matcha Mille Feuille ($8.5). As a self-proclaimed matcha lover, I was eager to try this uniq...

If matcha and Japanese fusion dishes are your thing or you are curious about these flavours, this cafe is a must visit. Having been to the sister cafe awhile about (Oratenek , I was keen to try Kentaro (which I discovered is the same name spelt backwards! The standout dishes for me were the pork katsu sando sandwich (the meat was juicy and crispy on the outside, and I loved the mustard inside on soft white bread , matcha Mille feuille pastry (light and crispy pastry with delicate matcha creme and the omurice which was so addictive and full of flavour. Note: I dined as a guest of the venue, all views expressed above are my own.
Kentaro is a Japanese-themed cafe in Surry Hills. Its menu and name are suspiciously reminiscent of Orantek in Redfern. It remains unclear if these similarities are a product of convergent or divergent evolution. We were seated on either end of a very long table outside, presumably due to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. These restrictions did not apply to the diners sitting next to each other inside the cafe. I cannot comment on the decor as we did not go inside.
After the success of Cafe Oratnek in Redfern, Chef Kenny Takayama decided to open a second cafe in Surry Hills. Located on a quiet street surrounded by trees, this spacious cafe is conveniently near Cleveland St, Crown St, and light rail stops, making it an ideal location. The cafe features a bright and airy atmosphere with a rustic industrial design, including exposed brick walls and both indoor and outdoor seating options. Book a table now
A Japanese-inspired cafe! <br/ The ‘Our signature Katsu-worth the 15 min wait’(200g pork loin katsu). The ‘Kentaro style omurice’. The drink ‘Hojicha latte’. The food was delicious,worth the price,good portion and indeed filling! They give large portions which is great.<br/ The omurice was my favourite. It was nice and creamy! It was seriously so tasty. I would definitely come back for it.
Real rating: 7.3/10<br/ <br/ The hojicha milkshake was flavourful and thick, hence a must try. Demi-glacé rice was a decent surprise, a perfect embodiment of a Japanese cafe style fusion dish.<br/ <br/ Mentaiko pasta however was a let down, it tasted very fishy and does not blend well with the pasta.
Awesome little Japanese fusion cafe tucked away in Surry Hills. They have a bunch of matcha flavoured items on their menu such as french toast, tiramisu and brownies we got the French toast which had strong matcha flavours but we found it quite dry. Everything else was great though.
I really enjoy this restaurant! It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but the wait is usually short. The katsu sandwich is delicious, but my favorite is the pork belly and kimchi on toast. They also rotate some items on the menu seasonally, so there's always something new to try. Book a table now
An asian fusion cafe in Surry Hills- a mix of Japanese and western cafe I would say! I got to love their menu! Especially the Japanese curry udon and the matcha Mille feuille! Perfect flavours! And a great cafe vibe!
One of the best brunch experience.Start with Piccolo, nice creama, medium dark roast coffee beans, and perfect temperature! Good to start my day and waken up the appetite.Crab
