Had a wonderful dining experience at Koromo by Jazushi! The $95 chef’s set menu was creative and beautifully presented, blending Japanese fine dining with a relaxed izakaya atmosphere. The flaming quail egg was such a fun surprise, and the extra-long tempura was a standout! A great spot for date night or a special dinner in Pyrmont. Highly recommend!

• Japanese Speciality • Sydney CBD
The menu was excellent with the chefs showing premium technical skills whilst delivering beautifully presented and prepared dishes. We loved the inclusion of special, seasonal ingredients including marron from WA, oysters from Merimbula, Patagonian toothfish, caviar, truffles, tuna from Japan and much more. The setting was minimal but stylish with subtle and professional front of house service. The drinks menu was extensive with something for everyone and some special whiskeys, sake and wines on offer. A great experience highly recommended!
