Super friggen good experience. The vibe was super cool with dim lights, nice open kitchen, lil dj and furnishings, pretty pretty cool. Came here cos I saw it had been awarded two chef hats and Japanese food gotta be the best in the world, it got like a 15/20, I think, from Australia Food Guide and they definitely deserved it! We also ordered like half the menu, at least. The food was crazy good; both the wagyu beef and tuna tartare were the best i've ever had, melted in my mouth and heaps flavour of the best kind; I don't usually order steak, because I find them boring, but the wagyu steak, that the nice waitress recommended, ended up blowing my mind, super tender and flavourful; the truffle wagyu katsu sandwich is as good as it sounds; even the pickled veges were rlly good and there were other amazing stuff i ate. However, I found the gyoza, the fried chicken, and the rice with fish on top to be nothing special to be honest. Dessert was like 7/10 for both. Oh and everything came pretty quick and very nicely spaced. The waiter was heaps cool, chatting good, and recommending wines to my parents n that. However, I WISHED THAT THEY WARNED US ABOUT THE KITCHEN CLOSING! cos I definitely could have done with some more tartare. Bathroom was very nice too. Overall, VERY VERY VERY FRIGGEN GOOD. I love tartare even more now. THANK YOU.

We visited the restaurant for my sister's 21st birthday. The food was good, drinks from the bar were amazing, staff was polite and friendly. But the food service let the whole experience down. It took for ever for the food to come, and often only half of the course would come, then 10 mins later the other half would arrive. We have half of our snack, edamame came after our entree. And one of our entree didn't show up at all. It took an hour and half to get to our main course, sorry the first half of our main course, then 10 mins later, after we cleared the dishes, the 2nd half of the main course arrived. We were getting more hungry as the night went on, and also quite bored. In the end, we didn't bother with desserts. To the credit of the staff, they were all friendly and professional, even send out a birthday dessert free of charge. Overall service was great, food was good, just the food took forever to arrive. Lastly, there is no energy with the DJ. He is just playing background music all night. But what's the point, if you want background music, any Spotify playlist can do. Why hire the DJ and don't utilise them. I was at Kid Kyoto the night before, food was equally delicious and service was quick. All the courses arrived at the same time. Given the similar price point, I don't see myself coming back.

We came here for my foodie wife's birthday. We had the premium chefs selection menu. The grilled imperador was so crispy and moist at the same time. The service was great, and food was wonderfully executed, highly recommended!

I visited this place a few years ago and loved it, so I came back this time with a friend. The cocktails were still great, but the food was just okay i mean not bad, but not as impressive as before. Maybe the quality dropped a little since the prices went down. Still, it’s a great value for money course overall. I mentioned that it was for a birthday when making the reservation, but nothing was written on the dessert. Meanwhile, the table right next to us got one on their dessert. Candle and writing😅 It just felt a bit unfair. Anyway, I still wish them the best.

Agreed with Manfred N, Kuro has really slipped from a very nice restaurant to one that probably isn’t worth returning to, unless they can reinvent themselves. The new dishes were really below average in taste and execution. There seems to be little thought in what ingredients complement others, these new dishes on the block are mish-mashes that make you wonder why you wasted the money. Had a similar experience with the service, a very long wait between dishes (probably also 30+ minutes) and tables were only about a third full? How do you plan to service a full restaurant? Kuro’s prime time has passed. Can it claw its way back?
