Kanto, located in Beeston, is a family-run business serving fresh and homestyle Asian food, influenced by the cuisines of the Philippines, Korea and Japan. It is predominantly takeaway, with limited seating options available for a relaxed and cosy dine-in experience.
The new independent eatery is a venture between dad and son Cezar Javier and Isaac Javier, two Leeds-based Filipino chefs who have worked across several kitchens in the region.

From well-known classics such as Japanese-style Katsu curries to lesser-known delights such as Filipino Lechon Kawali pork chop, Kanto promises to be a place for Leeds diners to indulge in their favourites and discover new ones too.
Cezar said: “There are a lot of new Asian restaurants opening in Leeds but both affordability and quality food are hard to come by. Kanto Leeds will be a place where you can expect an eclectic mix of consistently delicious Pan-Asian style food at an accessible price for all.”
Isaac added: “Our food will be nourishing, unpretentious and packed full of flavour. Home cooked food that has been prepared with a lot of love. We hope it will be food that people will really want to eat, time and time again.”
