Our Story
Where It All Began — Sri Lanka
Kaiyo's journey began in Sri Lanka, where the very first restaurant opened its doors. The island's rich culinary heritage, warm hospitality culture, and dynamic food scene provided the perfect proving ground for the brand's concept.
What started as a single restaurant quickly demonstrated the power of Kaiyo's model: a thoughtfully designed dining experience, a tightly run operation, and a menu that spoke to both adventurous palates and everyday diners. The Sri Lanka location laid the operational and creative blueprint that now guides every new opening.
A Foundation Built to Last
The success of the first Kaiyo restaurant validated the core thesis — that a disciplined, design-forward hospitality brand could find a passionate audience across diverse Asian markets. It proved that the Kaiyo experience was not tied to a single city or culture, but could travel, adapt, and thrive.
From Sri Lanka, the vision expanded. New markets were identified, a scalable operational framework was developed, and Kaiyo began its transformation from a celebrated local restaurant into an emerging international hospitality company with serious regional ambitions.

Founder
The Vision Behind Kaiyo
Sergey Fokin — Chef & Entrepreneur
Kaiyo was founded by Sergey Fokin, a chef and entrepreneur whose career spans the full spectrum of hospitality — from hands-on kitchen craft to high-level business strategy. He brings deep expertise in restaurant operations, team organization, and scaling a dining brand across diverse markets.
His philosophy: great food and great business are inseparable. A restaurant that runs with operational precision creates the freedom for its kitchen to reach its creative potential — a belief that underpins every decision at Kaiyo.
"A great restaurant is built twice — once in the kitchen, and once in the systems that support it."
— Sergey Fokin, Founder of Kaiyo
Expansion
Scaling Across Southeast Asia
Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur represents a premier opportunity for Kaiyo. With a sophisticated dining culture, a thriving middle class, and a deeply multicultural population that celebrates food as a social cornerstone, Malaysia is a natural next chapter. Kaiyo's expansion will target premium urban dining districts.
Indonesia
Home to over 270 million people and one of Asia's fastest-growing economies, Indonesia presents extraordinary long-term potential. Jakarta's emerging fine-casual dining scene, combined with a young, aspirational consumer base, creates ideal conditions for Kaiyo's market entry and growth.

Why Asia. Why Now.
Southeast Asia's restaurant industry is undergoing a structural transformation. Rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and a generation of consumers who prioritize experience over price are driving unprecedented demand for elevated dining concepts. The region's food and beverage market is projected to grow substantially through the end of the decade.
Entry into markets like Malaysia and Indonesia at this stage — before the premium dining segment becomes saturated — offers the most favorable combination of growth potential and brand differentiation. Kaiyo's early-mover advantage, paired with a scalable operating model, creates a compelling risk-reward profile.
