Kawakubo Vernon brings Japanese cuisine to life with a menu that balances traditional flavours and modern creativity. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or a newcomer to Japanese food, the restaurant delivers something for every palate. The Spicy Tuna Don, served over sushi rice with avocado and wasabi mayo, showcases bold, fresh flavours. Those seeking variety can opt for the Sushi Lovers Combo, offering a mix of sashimi, nigiri, and specialty rolls perfect for two to share.
For something warm and comforting, the Karaage is a standout. These crispy, marinated chicken bites come with house-made ponzu and tartar sauces, making them a satisfying starter. Vegetarians will appreciate the Yam Tempura Roll, which pairs sweet yam with crispy tempura texture, all wrapped in seasoned rice. The Signature Kawakubo Rolls combine tiger prawn tempura, eel, and cucumber, topped with crispy potato bits, green onion, spicy mayo, and tobiko for a satisfying mix of crunch and spice.
