Kuro Bar & Dining

Kuro appears to be a restaurant for the new era of diners in Sydney. The food looked very good but lacked the variety and intensity of flavour we are used to in Japanese cuisine. We chose the larger degustation and found our last two courses delivered together, along with a reminder we only had 10 min to finish and be gone. The ‘mixer’, bar tender and cocktail maker, was brilliant, a true Japanese icon, beautiful to watch and a humble and gentle soul. The Sommelier was also very pleasant and willing to discuss the beverage selections of the accompanying drink package. Some attendants can make you feel like they are pleased you graced their restaurant; others do not make the experience so pleasurable.

My favourite restaurant in Sydney! Must order some cocktails from master Fumi san!

Foods, service and decorations were incredible. It was an amazing experience!

We had the $80 menu - the snacks were delicious, raw fish dish was average, soba noodles and tempura prawn crepe (extra charge) were lovely, main duck dish wasn’t the best.. skin wasn’t crispy at all and the fat wasn’t rendered out, mochi dessert was very nice. Service was good and the meals came out quickly. Overall it was good and we were able to use our dine & discover vouchers, but I’ve had better degustation meals elsewhere.

Had a great night. We were seated at the bar, with a view to the kitchen. It was quite a busy night, and we were able to see all the happenings in the extremely efficient and professionally run kitchen. The tempura skull crepe was fantastic. Service was very good, if a little run off its feet. Good selection of sake.

Some initial confusion with the booking, but once sorted it was fabulous. Food came out at a steady pace, staff were attentive. The atmosphere is dynamic and vibrant, and if you are after a quite romantic dinner, there are a few bar/stool tables which might be better suited. Let the team know and they can try accommodate.

Really enjoyed the starters, entree and dessert.

Despite the initial hiccup with our booking (which I believe was more of a system error rather than the restaurant at fault..), the staff at Kuro were extremely polite and accommodating and handled the situation very diligently which we are grateful for. On top of the service, the food was wonderfully creative without compromising on the essence and authenticity of Japanese flavours. Beautifully curated as art on the plate as well as the palate - well done to the entire team and thank you for the wonderful experience! We shall definitely be back again :)

Great value & nice selection of menu! Will defined return!

Food was very good. All the wait staff were very friendly. Have already recommended to friends and would definitely come back. The flavors worked well together and they catered to my non-meating eating partner.

Very affordable and delicious food!

Service and food can’t fault. Great experience.

Who knew snacks could taste so good?! Everthing was delicious, perfectly cooked. We had a wonderful evening and can't wait to return, thanks!!

Pretty misleading, I had originally thought the Valentine's seating was $180 for a couple. It doesn't state anywhere on the site that it's $180 per person. I only found out once I had arrived. Service was very slow and the food was a hit or miss. For the price we paid, I was definitely expecting more from the food and ambience of the place. Felt more like casual dining than fine dining.

Polished cement floor coupled with countless polished wooden beams throughout make it for a comfortably contemporary dining space. Music played just loud enough to balance acoustics and accommodate dinner conversations. Staff were mostly prompt and friendly. We had the Christmas special chefs menu. Service times between courses were quite sporadic, and at diff points felt like it was more catered to kitchen service vs. dining experience. But I am just nit picking here. The food was absolutely sensational. Every dish was composed and presented to its finest. Everything had a reason and overall such a creative, cohesive and fun menu with countless flavour bombs! The addition of the white truffle really elevated the courses and made for a more memorable experience!

Kuro is already a favourite for its interesting and flavourful tasting menu. Service was especially accommodating last night as my guest was delayed at work and running very late. A potentially tense situation turned out to be a very nice dinner. Full marks for food and service and generally being pleasant and professional.

Beautiful food and very nice ambience. The drink list was also quite impressive

Hoping to get them opening for dinner. Really great food and drinks.

I almost don't want to say how much I enjoyed everything about this place as I want to keep it a hidden secret - the food was enjoyable and incredibly tasty - we found the portion sizes perfect, came at a great pace, the drinks were AH-MAZING and from everything set up from the QR codes to well spaced out table it was very COVID-safe.

Very good lunch experience. Will def try their dinner next time.
