    This place is insanely good and a must try, I've been telling everyone about it as i'm still in awe of it. Full of helpful and authentically Japanese staff. The vibe was incredible, with a beautiful jazz pianist. The food was absolutely incredible, like one of the best i've had kind of good. Perfect for a romantic date or a good crew of friends. We had the 'SWING' set menu which was so good and highly recommend. Flawless!

    Food is fresh and good quality. But the service is quite poor since we asked for lemon for three times. The girls are nice and friendly.

    Loved our dinner experience! Jazz pianist was incredible, the room felt warm and matched the vibe. Unfortunately the service was a little lacking. Would still recommend to friends for a nice night out.

FAQs

Yes, Jazushi is a popular choice for a romantic date night. Guests praise the moody, ambient interior, live jazz in the main dining room and refined Japanese-fusion dishes that make evenings feel special. The $74–$90 set menus are frequently recommended for an indulgent shared experience, and there’s a quieter separate room if you prefer a more intimate table. Book ahead for jazz nights to secure a prime spot close to the pianist.

Portions are generous enough for a satisfying meal, especially if you choose one of the set menus. Guests repeatedly praise the value of the lunch and set menus, the $50 lunch and $74–$90 per person set menus were described as plentiful and excellent value, with multiple courses and standout starters and mains. If you prefer lighter dining, consider a la carte choices or sharing smaller plates.

Partly. Jazushi is family-friendly, guests often celebrate birthdays and bring teens, and several notes mention families dining comfortably. The venue has multiple dining areas (main room, Red Room and outdoor Terrace), and there’s a quieter separate room for those wanting less noise. However, reviews and owner information don’t specify wheelchair access or other accessibility features, so call ahead to confirm specific accessibility needs before you visit.

Early evenings on weekdays or lunchtime can be the most relaxed options. Lunch is praised for strong value and quick service, and guests often recommend it before a theatre show. For atmosphere and live music, visit on WED, FRI, SAT or SUN when the jazz pianist performs, expect a livelier, richer ambiance and book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Jazushi offers three distinct dining areas: the ambient main dining room with live music, a spacious Red Room ideal for functions or quieter groups, and a lovely outdoor Terrace. The Red Room and Terrace are often used for private parties, and guests note a separate quieter room when they need a calmer experience. The variety makes Jazushi suitable for dates, group bookings and events.

Comfortable, moody and musically driven, Jazushi is known for a warm, intimate atmosphere with live jazz in the main dining room. Guests praise the red-hued interiors, attentive service (usually) and the pianist who elevates the vibe. Expect a lively but refined experience on jazz nights and a relaxed, elegant setting for lunches or quieter dinners in the back room.

Casual dress is appropriate. The owner specifies a casual dress code, and guest photos and comments reflect a relaxed but polished atmosphere, think smart-casual for date night or pre-theatre dinners. No formal attire is required, but many guests choose neat, comfortable outfits to match the elegant setting.

Yes, Jazushi accommodates special requests for seating, celebrations and private events. Guests regularly book for birthdays and functions, and the restaurant offers private rooms and a spacious Red Room for events. For dietary needs, quieter seating or birthday arrangements (musical dedications have been mentioned), call ahead so the team can tailor your visit.

Busiest: jazz nights (WED, FRI, SAT, SUN) and evenings close to theatre showtimes. Quietest: weekday lunches and early weekday dinners tend to be calmer and faster. Guests highlight that lunch service is good value and quicker, while jazz nights offer lively atmosphere and can be noisier, book ahead if you want a prime spot at a music performance.

It depends on your goal: pick WED, FRI, SAT or SUN for the full live-jazz experience that many guests rave about. If you prefer quieter dining and quicker service, opt for a weekday lunch or an early weekday dinner. For special occasions, weekend jazz nights offer the most atmosphere and often feel like a full night out.

Yes, Jazushi offers private and function-friendly spaces. The restaurant lists a spacious Red Room and an outdoor Terrace as well as a main dining room, and the owner notes Jazushi is ideal for any occasion and allows private parties and large bookings. Guests also report using the separate room for quieter or celebratory bookings.

Public holiday opening times aren’t specified in the provided information. The listed hours show daily lunch and dinner hours, but holiday schedules can differ. Call Jazushi or check their official site/social pages before a public holiday to confirm opening hours and booking availability.

Yes, Jazushi offers an outdoor Terrace in addition to its main dining room and Red Room. Guests mention enjoying the varied dining spaces, and the Terrace is listed in the owner’s description as one of three grand dining areas, making it a good option for alfresco dining when available.
