Had a great time.... Good food made from fresh ingredients and will return. Had the Omakase Banquet for 2.... Scampi Tartare - Fresh and sweet taste of seafood accentuated by the lobster paste. Good signature dish for starter. Tuna Tataki - tender and moist. Kimoji - Fusion between Japanese and Chinese Sichuan dish. Spicy, crunchy and moist fried chicken pieces. Great dish. Toothfish - Fried toothfish fillet. It was moist and fresh. I did question why have 2 deep fried dishes one after another. Wasted the quality of the toothfish fillet. The chilli sauce was underwhelming. The Maître d' (Karl) has taken the feedback on board. I think a pan-fried fish dish will be much better addition to this menu. Lamb Chops - Tender and slow cooked. My partner love this dish. Deserts Panna Cotta Tofu - visually catchy and I feel is a good fusion desert (Japanese/Chinese/Italian) Imperial Seal - Great for a picture.... The ice-cream was well made. I finished off with a Affogato - good. For a Tuesday, 90% full. Which I feel was a good turnout. Relatively quiet and can have a personal conversation with your partner. The high ceiling helps. The deco is right for a premium restaurant with food which matches it. I didn't get a chance to taste the bartender skills. I understand he will be representing Australia in this year's bar cocktail event... Good luck... Will taste next time.... Keep up the good work Karl and team Kushiro Fusion.
