Dining · Alberta Street, Surry Hills · NSW · Twelve-seat tempura + kushiage omakase

Editor's Note

Keita Abe (also Chaco Bar) and Kensuke Yada (ex-Sasaki) opened Haco on Alberta Street in Surry Hills, next door to Alberto's Lounge. Twelve seats at an American-walnut bar; the format is a 20-course omakase devoted to tempura and Osaka-style kushiage (panko-crumbed deep-fried skewers). The name is 'Chaco' with the C removed, after the Japanese phrase for 'interesting show'. AU$185 per person Tuesday to Saturday. The only restaurant in Sydney whose entire omakase is built around the deep-fry. Theatrical, tight, and one of the harder counters to book.— Yarranabbe Editorial
