OPENING OCTOBER 12th 2026KIBOU Japanese Kitchen & Bar is opening on Temple Row this autumn, bringing handmade sushi, sashimi and a full Japanese kitchen to the city centre. Every roll is cut to order in an open sushi kitchen you can watch from your seat, alongside steaming bowls of ramen, bao buns, crisp tempura, handmade spiced pork gyoza, and sushi and sashimi sharing platters, seasonal specials and A5 grade Japanese wagyu. The venue features hand-painted murals by artist Martyna Sabadasz, created specifically for this site and telling Birmingham's own story on the walls. There's a dining area centred on the open kitchen, plus a standalone bar pouring cocktails, sake and spirits.
