Chaco Bar

Amazing Japanese style tapas restaurant with a really good selection of yakitori and other Japanese pub style food!

Loved the yakitori, really cute little restaurant. Will definitely visit again.

On the pricier side of things but quality of the food and service makes up for it.

this is a local gem with great food and excellent service

local gem with great atmosphere and excellent service. love this tiny restaurant

this is a local gem with great food and excellent service.

Cool little spot. Food was decent and the vibe matched what you would expect from a small japanese restaurant. Reminds me of my time in Japan

Chaco Bar is a great little Japanese restaurant that has wonderful ambiance and even better food.

Love Chaco! Delicious food, beautiful drinks and lovely staff. Authentic Japanese experience in the heart of Sydney. Get your Japan fix close to home OISHI!!

Fantastic- only downside not having something on the menu we wanted initially. Portions are really small, which encourages you to spend more, but definitely quality 👌

Finally got a chance to go after hearing really good reviews from family and friends. Nice cosy atmosphere and the food was great! Very good customer service given it was a fully booked night!

Nice food but too many people seated at communal table which makes for not such a comfortable dining experience. Need to relieve the seating somewhat, given its such a small space also. Otherwise, would be great! Food is very good.

Too crowded and noisy.. cant chat with friends in a normal voice. And the food taste is quite salty, not my type. But overall, not bad

Food was delicious and meat was very tender. Atmosphere was nice and cosy, nice for a mid week casual dinner. Friendly, helpful staff. Will go back

So yum and excellent service. Extremely authentic food and the desserts are an absolute delight. Friendly staff. The only area for improvement is that the staff could pace the food better....it seeemed to all come out at the same time

This was our 2nd time here. The first time was over a year ago when they were still BYO and it was Amazing! This time I felt that Chaco bar has lost its charm a bit...

It was fantastic food Everything very delicious and great atmosphere. Chef's recommended menu was great...nice tuna and truffles, tuna steak was very well cooked for me.

Overall nice experience but not outstanding. Friendly service and good atmosphere, but the skewers were actually just okay. I'm in no hurry to go back anytime soon.

Tiny portions, very expensive, tiny pours of wine and you literally have everyone sitting on your lap. Also you could hammer nails with the black cod dish.

Really good variety of sticks from seafood (cod) to exotic gizzards / chicken heart. Also have daily specials such as Tasmanian sea urchin rice bowl. Very busy.

Neighborhood gem! Perfect for a cold winter night. Cosy ambience, amazing sake & delicious food. We dined on a yakitori night and loved every bite!

Excellent food and drinks always eat here for the yakitori. Great vibe the atmosphere is authentic. My favorite place to have a meal and drink

Love the food, ambience, service. Everything was nice. My fav was the dessert, called goeey chocolate rhubarb and kinako. And i love that they always have special menu that keep changing regularly

Great food and selecting of sake. One of the best yakitori places around. Nice intimate ambience for a small group or a date. Would come again.

Great vibe, amazing food. We've been here previously for Ramen, but Yakitori menu is wonderful. It's a tiny restaurant, with awesome chefs and great service.

Love the restaurant😋!! Would definitely go back given the chance. The food was amazing and very friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean and sake was the best!

Good food with slightly unusual and interesting dishes. Good drinks list too! Ask for recommendations if you don't know what to order. Will likely go back here.

The food was great and the service was excellent. Definitely will go back again and try other menu items. Walked out of there full and content.

Nice little hidden izakaya place in CBD area. Delicious strewers, rice of the day with bone marrow is amazing. Would like to try groza and meat balls with tamako next time

Top quality food and service. Nice space too, not too noisy. We had a show to go to, and were accommodated very well. Will definitely be coming back!

This is a local gem. One of its kind in Sydney. Love the BYO option. Get there early so you don't miss out on all Yakitori options.

Great food, environment and excellent service - they were kind enough to take us through their sake menu and recommend the one's they thought we would like.

Awesome food with great seasonal menu! Fresh ingredients and some of the dishes has unique tastes to it. Will definitely come back here for sure.

Brilliant yakitori that is quintessentially Japanese and of very high quality. There is always something new to try on the menu at Chaco Bar, great specials, staff are generous and welcoming and always eager to explain the dishes on the menu, great hospitality & atmosphere, have never been disappointed.

Excellent food in a cool, casual environment. The black cod was especially delicious as were the prawn sliders. It's tough to get an actual separate table so be ready to sit at the big middle table in bar-like seating.

The Chaco Bar is a tiny and very cozy restaurant. The food is authentic and everything we tried (which was the Chefs Skewers as well as Gyoza, Edamame and all kinds of other Skewers) was delicious. It is the typical Japanese 'simple dishes done to perfection' thing. Would recommend anytime! For being such a small restaurant it wasn't as loud as I expected.

The absolute BEST Yakatori in Sydney. Chaco Bar is an incredibly authentic experience, transporting you back to the Izakaya's littering the alleys of Shinjuku and Shibuya. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and were more than helpful in picking out Sake and Sochu. The food is some of, if not, the best Yakatori we've had (yes including in Japan). All the dishes were excellent and moreish. The John Dory tiger prawn dumplings, silky miso eggplant, and Enoki and pork roll were some of our favourites. But oh my, the chicken crackling! It is exactly what is sounds like and it is awesome, get it. For the quality of food, it is certainly reasonably priced. We will be back, many times. This place is our new favourite restaurant. :D

I love the taro chip and of course all yakitori that we ordered last night. Chicken wing, chicken thigh and miso eggplants are so yum~~~

Good place to grab a drink and chat with friends. Many choice of Japanese wines and skewers. Make sure you secure your table by booking early.

Really enjoy the food and the drinks. The restaurant has a great atmosphere too. But it just a bit pricey If not, it will be perfect 6.

Went for yakitori. Great ambience, awesome food, good service. Small shop, not good for large groups. Do make a reservation and try to go early before it gets super busy.

I liked the ambiance of the place, reminded me of the small bars of Tokyo a bit. I was very disappointed though that they did not serve ramen on the day, as that was the main reason we had chosen the restaurant.

The best little Izakaya in Sydney. Food and service excellent. Gyoza, Yakatori, Pork Belly Sliders...all delicious! Great selection of beers and sake. We love Chaco!

Fabulous food and really attentive and knowledgeable people looking after you. A must do in Sydney! I will definitely recommend it to all my friends!

Love the food and great staff. We can't hold our hands and mouth. We ordered nearly $300 food and drinks for 4 of us. Will come back for more food and drinks. Thanks.

Great food- yakitori has really good flavours! The restaurant has nice atmosphere and good service. Highly recommended. We would like to try their ramen next time!

Very good, but some plates are very small! Sashimis are very fresh, the staff very nice, and the place very intimate. Good selection of sake too!

Fabulous food and feels just like an Izakawa in Japan ! Warm ,friendly service too. . Will definitely be back soon . Delicious and authentic

Great food! All dishes we ordered were wonderfully prepared. Be warn though the bar is quite small so you definitely need to book to get a table. The set up of the bar reminds me of the the small eateries in Tokyo!

Food is good. Service and attitude is crap. Good little neighbourhood jam if they can stop employing a waitress who doesn't want to be there.
