Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
One Japanese restaurant passed our checks in Kew East, and this page is about that one. Yaki Jin is at 627 High St, Kew East. We confirmed it at its own website and at the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), both on 9 October 2026.
This page also answers searches for sushi and Japanese food in Kew East. We could not verify a sushi-specific place in the suburb, so there is none here. A short, accurate page beats a long list we cannot stand behind.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A Japanese dinner in Kew East, Wednesday to Sunday evenings (AGFG hours) | Yaki Jin | 627 High St, Kew East |
Yaki Jin — 627 High St, Kew East VIC 3102
Yaki Jin’s own website lists its Kew East branch at 627 High St, and AGFG gives the same address. The data we checked files it as a Japanese restaurant.
AGFG lists it closed Monday and Tuesday, and open Wednesday to Sunday from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM. AGFG is an owner-maintained directory, so the hours may be out of date. Our check found the same Wednesday to Sunday pattern on the restaurant’s own site, which carries no recent date. Confirm before you go.
We hold no menu text and no prices for Yaki Jin, so this page does not name a dish or decode one for the restaurant. For a first-timer, a general note: “yaki” in a Japanese dish name usually means grilled or pan-cooked, as in yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). A name alone does not tell you what a restaurant serves.
Menu says: we hold nothing to quote, so read the current menu at yakijin.com.au before you book.
