The Journey of CIAO

CIAO began its journey in October 2021, featuring a unique fusion of Chinese cuisine and homemade Lemon Sour. Each floor presents a different theme, welcoming customers with unconventional decor and imaginative service. We strive for a “planned chaos,” connecting seemingly disparate elements based on whether it's engaging or leaves customers smiling.

So far, we’ve welcomed over 100,000 guests, with many evolving from customers to staff, forging friendships among strangers, and creating a vibrant community that lives by the motto of “a restaurant built by everyone.”

The Vision Ahead

Looking ahead to 2026, we plan to open three new locations, diversifying with cafes and beauty shops and even considering expanding to Osaka. CIAO aims to stand as a beacon of support for all involved—staff, customers, and partners—turning dreams into reality. We are committed to spreading the CIAO community born in Shimbashi across the nation.

Create CIAO Together!

At CIAO, we cherish joyful experiences, our customers' happiness, and all who contribute to our community. Let’s come together to support everyone's aspirations by enjoying great food and drinks.

We invite you to participate in the CIAO Dream Festival 2025 and support our crowdfunding campaign. Let’s embark on this adventure together!
