I believe Kuro had its moment 3 years ago. It was good back then, but in 2025, “the food iwas okay” is probably the most generous comment I can make. However, the ambiance of the restaurant is excellent. The dim lighting paired with the furnishing does create a nice vibe. The servicing was atrocious. There was a 40 minute wait between the last entry and main. The staff on multiple occasions bought over dishes that were not ours not once… not twice… but three times. The kicker on top is of that was staff said there were 2 desserts, for us to finish the first dessert… wait 15 minutes for them to tell us they made a mistake around what menu we ordered. There is an opportunity for Kuro to reinvent itself.

MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR!!! Food was so epic 😭🥹 we got the set menu, every bite made me SO HAPPY omg esp the WAGYU STEAK and SALMON😭 SUCH UMAMI. I loved the noodles too so creamy so good. Entrees were so cute and delicious, i loved how the quiche is savoury and sweet(its base is very soft and creamy/milky). The oyster was really fresh and the fish tartare had such a good blend of different ones. All the drinks were amazing too, really recommend the apple flavoured sake, it has the apple pulp too and so sweet so yummy. All the staff were super friendly and nice too, I had a great time! Interior design is very classy and intimate, music has good vibes too, was jazz covers of english songs, I really rate.

Absolutely outstanding experience. The food and service were exceptional from start to finish. I came here with a client and was amazed I hadn’t heard of it before — a hidden gem! Every course in the degustation was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-quality Japanese dining in a stylish and welcoming space.

My second time coming back for a celebration. All staff are friendly and welcoming. Every dish is phenomenal. The mussel tofu with curry sauce is so good, way out of my expectation. I had a great time here, will definitely come back!
