A place to catch up with friends or for special occasions. Amazing food, lovely staff. The atmosphere is why this is somewhere truly special.

I booked the tatami room with 10 people for a birthday.We ordered the set menu, and everyone thought the food was delicious.

Have a lovely dinner at this restaurant. It is large and spacious, with a beautiful japanese wall mural.
The food is sophisticated, delicate and beautifully presented — just as you'd expect from experienced Japanese chefs who have previously frequented the kitchens of Yu-U, Bar Lourinha, Kobe Jones and the Royal George Hotel.

Can't say enough how much my partner and I LOVE this restaurant!
Sooooooo delicious, everything here was a major palate pleaser. We'v been twice now (and would dine here more often if we had more babysitter options!). They've apparently just started doing take-away, which I'm keen to take advantage of!

Anyway, we've had the degustation menu both times we've been, which have offered different dishes each time. The quality of food is amazing, and the value is astounding, esp for this area! VERY reasonable price for the amount and quality of excellent, unique Japanese dishes.

Also noteworthy is the brilliant booze at this place and superb service. Very attentive service, akin to that of super fine dining. We were very well-taken care of, and the knowledge of the waitstaff was wonderful. They even have a sake master, in addition to a sommelier, and I enjoyed talking to him about sake, and experiencing my first Sake flight (3 different small portions of delicious sake). They specialise in sake, as well as japanese whiskey...yum! We also had cocktails here and they were outstanding.

NO complaints - I recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Save room for dessert too!

NB* Kumo has regular specials (pop up sakitori happy hours, etc) so sign up for their newsletter, as they often offer GREAT deals too.

Approximate cost: $28
