Whether you’re entertaining a group of colleagues or celebrating a milestone event with friends and family, Gaijin will create a wonderful and unique experience your whole group will enjoy.
We offer partial or full buyouts for groups of 15 - 65 guests, with menu packages curated by Chef Paul Virant to offer your guests the best okonomiyaki experience you can get without a passport!
We also offer specialty experiences for smaller groups. Join our bar team for an introductory sake class, or journey through a Japanese whisky tasting featuring Suntory, the founding house of Japanese whisky.
