    Amazing omakase experience with a really delicious menu - definitely worth spending the extra $ for the sea urchin or A5 beef.

    I recently dined at KUON SUSHI SEI and was blown away by the quality+service. Ingredients were incredibly fresh, but the real stars were the sushi rice and soy sauce. The rice, sourced directly from Japan, had a wonderful texture and subtle sweetness that perfectly balanced the fish. Their house-made soy sauce was the perfect umami bomb, enhancing each bite without being too salty. Combined with the impeccable service, KUON SUSHI SEI offers a truly exceptional Japanese dining experience.

    Second time attending here and loved it as much as the first. Personal favourites were the unagi meals and the set meals for lunch time.

    We have eaten in many, many restaurants throughout Australia and Asia, including Japan - and Kyo Yakiniku is, undoubtedly, one of the best. The menu is plentiful, the food moorish and the service is awesome (some staff are struggling with English, but so be it) Overall we give is a max 5 stars and will absolutely be back…
