Kicho Japanese - Black Rock

This is probably the best Japanese restaurant in the area that I have visited. I highly recommend it. The service is excellent, and I dined in for dinner. The price per person is around A$100-$120. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect 5 out of 5 rating.

‘Kicho’ is a lovely experience for those wanting ‘Clean Japanese Food’. I would say the highlights were the ‘Gyoza’ with the crunchy textured lace coating, Gyoza underneath salad on top; and the ‘Karage Chicken with Truffle Aioli’. As a ‘Tofu’ freak, ordering the ‘Agedashi Tofu’ I would have preferred a crispier firmer Tofu with a bit of ‘crunch’, in order to soak up the sauce. The Silken Tofu fell apart, whilst eating as it was just too soft, it was hard to eat with chopsticks to pick up all the soft remaining pieces. I would prefer a firmer Tofu perhaps with a Tempura coating. The ‘Special’ Pork Ribs I would have enjoyed a stronger sauce Maybe Honey) to add to this dish, the small amount of meat was a tad ‘Chewy’. As a firm believer in creating atmosphere I would also suggest some ‘Soft Traditional Japanese Music’ in the background, to add to the atmosphere for a full immersion experience in this cultural restaurant. Very healthy, Clean food I look forward to going again.

Asked the day before going if they could accomodate a young one who loves plain grilled fish. Arrived and was told the cod , at $35, was all they could serve! The king fish cudo was served in great big lumps not even sushi let alone marinated cudo. Stuffed zucchini flower was so so with over welling curry flavour. Been there a couple of times and it was good this wasn’t one of those times! Price per person: A$80–100
