Designed to deliver a lively and interactive culinary experience, the 60-seat space is anchored by a custom 12-foot griddle and chef’s counter and offers individual Hiroshima teppan griddles for table service.The dessert menu features kakigori, a shaved ice dessert, along with mochi donuts and other Japanese-inspired treats. The bar program showcases highballs and a focused selection of beer – including a Moody Tongue-Gaijin collaboration house lager, sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.We can’t wait to see you at Gaijin!

    We came to Cira to celebrate our anniversary. I had noted that when I made the reservation but when we arrived, there was a nice note on the table signed by the staff to congratulate us. We also received a complimentary glass of champagne and a chocolate truffle each for dessert, this was totally unexpected but much appreciated! Our meal was outstanding. We started with the beet salad and burrata on sourdough, both had excellent flavors and were beautifully plated. We then had the mushroom cappellacci and the gnochetti. Absolutely delicious, I wanted to get a straw to drink the sauce. Thank you to the Cira team for making our evening lovely.
