I had a truly delightful evening out with friends at Kushiro. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by elegant decor that perfectly sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The staff were not only attentive but genuinely friendly, going above and beyond to accommodate our friend with allergies. They took the time to offer thoughtful suggestions and ensured that our dining choices were safe and enjoyable, which we greatly appreciated. Now, let’s talk about the food—it was simply superb! Each dish was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's artistry. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a treat, bursting with flavour and creativity. Thank you to the entire team for making our night so special. We can’t wait to come back!

Their oyster is a must try. We first ordered only 2 but then we have to order 6 more as it is delish. Duck confit and slow cook ribs are the star, you should try them for your large dish. The service team are just way out of my expectation. If I could give them 100/100, I definitely would. Thank you for your service especially on my birthday, which the idea of taking an instant photo for us, something to remember. Best fusion restaurant in town so far!!!

dishes were hit and mess - while we quite enjoyed the scampi tartare, roasted cauliflower and tofu panna cotta, other dishes we had (despite being the highlight dishes) i.e. the m9 wagyu beef tartare, sake steamed abalone, slow roasted short ribs and confit duck were 2-dimensional, like there was a missing flavour or texture

Starters were nice but mains came out at different times which made it hard to enjoy it all together. Stick to the raw and entree menu. Mains were disappointing.
