Bookings will go live Friday 3rd September via the KIBOU website, including for two soft launch dates on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October, with 50% off food. To be the first to book and get access to soft launch sittings, guests can sign up to the newsletter via the KIBOU website.
Platters will feature a selection of handmade nigiri, uramaki and sashimi, not complete without a sushi-lovers’ addition of wasabi and ginger.
The team will be giving away scan-to-win cards, with customers able to try their luck to win prizes to be redeemed when the restaurant opens, including £50 vouchers, glasses of Sake, Kirin Lager and KIBOU’s best-selling sushi roll, the Volcano Roll, featuring salmon uramaki, dipped in tempura and drizzled with KIBOU special sauce. All entrants will also be entered into a prize draw to win £100 to spend in the restaurant.
Nestled in the heart of the Colmore Business District, at 61-63 Temple Row, facing onto Cathedral Square, the new KIBOU restaurant will be serving up classic and contemporary Japanese sharing plates.
The new site will accommodate up to 200 covers across a bar and lounge, open sushi kitchen, main restaurant, and private dining space. From chicken karaage, spiced pork gyoza and crisp tempura to beautifully presented sushi and sashimi, A5 Joshu wagyu beef, steaming ramen, katsu curry, and teriyaki, the restaurant promises an extensive menu with bold flavours.
A standalone bar will also serve KIBOU’s Japanese-inspired cocktails alongside a curated list of Japanese whisky, sake, and umeshu.
Guests will be able to enjoy bold, colourful, Japanese-inspired interiors, with original hand-painted and digital murals by Gloucestershire-based artist Martyna Sabadasz, evoking the brand’s signature spirit of discovery and adventure.
KIBOU currently has 6 sites open across England. The group has also announced that a 210-cover flagship restaurant will open in the heart of London’s Covent Garden in early 2027 following its strongest trading year on record, taking the total number of restaurants to 8.
Gemma Hutchinson, Senior General Manager at KIBOU, says: “We’re so excited to be finally opening our doors in Birmingham. The team is busy putting finishing touches to the restaurant, and we can’t wait to show people what we’ve done with the place.
“We’re very much looking forward to welcoming our first guests through the door in October, whether they’re quick enough to secure a spot on one of our soft launch sittings, or they join us from our official opening date. For now, we hope you enjoy a first taste of KIBOU on Temple Row next week, good luck!”
