Yakitori Chaco Bar

Moody lighting, shoulder-to-shoulder energy, and the unmistakable crackle of binchotan charcoal. Yakitori Chaco Bar delivers a masterclass in Tokyo-style smoke right in Potts Point. Those tracking Sydney’s elite grills know to snag a spot at the immersive chef's counter. The smart play is the banquet menu—a relentless parade of inventive bites that transports you straight to a bustling Shinjuku izakaya. Expect silky spanner crab chawanmushi, impeccable kingfish sashimi, and skewers dripping in complex tare. Regular fixtures at the bar always add the house jerky and Japanese potato salad to the lineup. Just save room—the towering matcha cream puff, loaded with custard and red bean, is absolutely mandatory. Fast, smoky, and fiercely delicious.
