About Jizo
Jizo brings Japanese food to the Dunedin Central area, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in Dunedin. It sits right in the heart of Dunedin, within walking distance of the centre.
The kitchen focuses on Japanese food. Dishes typical of this style include katsu curry and nigiri sushi, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. We currently list 17 places in Dunedin in the Japanese category, and Jizo is among them. The menu also crosses into vegan territory.
Jizo opens 6 days a week and is closed on Sundays. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 10 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 45 hours each week.
Good to know: vegetarian options, vegan options and air conditioning. For budgeting, Japanese restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $40–$70 per person (Mid-to-upper range). It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Dunedin Central easy to explore on foot.
