Across the class, you will find the Kaito Sushi Bar and the lively Kaito Teppanyaki venue, and on MSC Euribia you will also find the newest addition, Kaito Robatayaki.

Atmosphere and Layout
Kaito Sushi Bar
The Sushi Bar is casual, modern and very approachable. You will sit at a counter facing the sushi chefs or at small tables nearby. The decor is clean and contemporary, which gives the venue a bright and welcoming feel. Its location near the Galleria promenade means it always has a little energy around it without feeling loud.
Kaito Teppanyaki
Teppanyaki is the most interactive version of the Kaito experience. Each hibachi style grill seats 8 to 10 guests, so meals feel intimate but lively. The chefs put on a fun and energetic performance while preparing your food, complete with classic tricks, jokes and crowd friendly cooking moves. It is a great choice for families, groups or anyone celebrating something special.
Kaito Robatayaki (MSC Euribia Only)
Robatayaki is a Japanese barbecue style where ingredients are slowly grilled over high heat. The Euribia venue combines robata grills with sushi, sashimi, potstickers, rice bowls, skewers, tempura and more. It sits between sushi and teppanyaki in terms of experience, delivering a broad mix of flavors with less performance and more refined cooking. The robata menu is extensive and features seafood, vegetables, premium meats and several creative combinations.
