At Gaijin Sushi, the à la carte menu is designed to feel like a quiet moment of precision and indulgence—where every dish is considered, and nothing is rushed.

The menu celebrates the purity of Japanese technique with a modern edge. Each piece of nigiri is shaped by hand, delicately balanced between warm seasoned rice and the clean, natural flavour of the fish—whether it’s buttery toro, vibrant salmon, or delicately sliced sea bream. Sashimi is served simply, allowing the quality of the produce to speak for itself, cut with precision and presented with understated elegance.

Small plates offer depth and variety—crispy tempura with a light, airy batter, rich miso-glazed dishes, and carefully composed bites that blend texture and flavour. Signature rolls bring a contemporary twist, combining traditional foundations with bold, refined combinations that feel indulgent without being overwhelming.

Alongside these, the menu introduces a carefully curated selection of fusion dishes—where Japanese foundations meet global influence. Here, you’ll find elements like truffle, yuzu, and ponzu woven into unexpected pairings, and dishes that borrow from European and contemporary techniques while staying rooted in balance and precision. These plates are designed to surprise—bold in flavour, yet controlled, refined, and purposeful.

What defines the à la carte experience at Gaijin is choice without compromise. Guests can move between classic and contemporary—pairing pristine sashimi with inventive fusion plates—creating a dining experience that feels both familiar and excitingly new.

The atmosphere mirrors the food: calm, confident, and quietly impressive. It’s not about excess—it’s about detail. Every plate arrives as something to pause over, designed not just to be eaten, but to be experienced.
