Kisumé - Kurunjang

Five star experience! I cannot fault Kisume. I have been three times now and I have always walked away feeling really refreshed. The food is of the highest quality and the service and environment are also impeccable. I would highly recommend ordering the 12 pieces of assorted sushi.

Went on for a date night with my husband to this beautiful Japanese spot as I read the reviews on Urban Melbourne. Must say the atmosphere n the decor of the place was lovely n had this chic feeling. We sat by the bar had a lovely view of the chiefs preparing the food. We tried the following, Assorted box of sushi, sashimi n Maki Crab salad Meatball truffle Oysters. Must say this was one of the best Japanese food I ever had. The quality of the sushi was exceptional. The team tried their best to cater my dietary requirements n took it very seriously. The only draw back of our evening was the attitude of one of the staff members. The waiter was extremely rude wasn’t talking pleasantly with us with an extreme aggressive attitude which we didn’t appreciate n didn’t expect from such a fine dinning place. Would expect the team members to get proper training on how to deal with customers

Beautifully presented food, fresh and taste amazing. These dishes are very difficult to recreate at home, so this place is great for celebrating a special occasion. My favourite dish is the kingfish sashimi, but I would also go with the waiter’s recommendations. The entrance off Flinders lane is a little dark so watch your step as you push the large heavy red door.

A generous 4 stars for the food, as I think it was definitely too overpriced for the quality. For me the somen was the best and most interesting dish we ordered, so I would highly recommend that. But everything else was very average. Some comments: the maki rolls don’t taste that different from sushi places that are half the price gyoza was yummy but hard to fit in my mouth in one bite due to the triangular shape garfish tempura special was good but nothing special about it duck breast (special) was too fatty and rare for my liking, but taste wise very good ordered the hazelnut dacquoise but realised I had eaten it 2 years ago already. You’d think they would’ve changed the menu after 2 years. blossom mocktail was a solid mocktail but $17

We experienced the Omakase at the Chef's Table. It was 18 courses excluding supplement dishes. The food was beautiful and made right in front of us, the chef explained all the dishes to us and we enjoyed the night. The omakase was about $265 per person.
