Very refreshing fresh food I ordered chicken Benton box and rice with spring rolls and my son got salmon nigiri and it all came in under 5-6 minutes. When I had to go toilet it was clean and not dirty 5 start for sure😃

Vanilla miso ice cream + lucuma fondant = the perfect ending. ✨ 3 set menus to choose from 🍣 Fresh & elegant 🥩 Premium Australian Wagyu 🍸 Creative Japanese-Peruvian cocktails A dining experience that’s definitely worth adding to your Sydney foodie list. ✨ #japanesefoods #japaneseeats #sydneyeats #sydneyfoodshare #japaneseperuvian

We celebrated my mum’s birthday at Kuro and had an exceptional evening. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour, the cocktails were outstanding, and the atmosphere was stylish and intimate.Head chef Hector, Tom, and the entire team were warm, attentive and absolutely delightful. A true hidden gem with convenient parking directly across the road. We will definitely be back!
