My friend and I both ordered the Hasu set. We both enjoyed every dish except for the quill. Even with the source, we both felt that the quill tested dry or leathery. We laughed about it, but the next dish was much more enjoyable. Getting a birthday candle as a surprise was a pleasant surprise for me. Please keep it as it is as I felt it had a very personal touch to it. Thank you for that. I look forward to returning in the near future.
What an amazing restaurant. I really enjoyed the each bit of my meal. Believe it or not I never tried Oyster as I didn’t like the taste and smell of that, but in place I couldn’t stop myself to eat them as they were extremely fresh with no bad smell. All other courses from Entree to the main meal was wonderful. You could have the best sushi Sashimi in Melbourne. Also, customer service was excellent.
Thank you 😊
Memorable Service and Steak
Had a chance to visit Koko for special bday event and it satisfied my curiosity.
The highlight of the night was the service and ambiance! The staffs were attentive and boy the place looks so good
The food is not bad! I love the wagyu steak that we had! It was perfectly cooked and the Koko sauce paired really well with the steak! It is sweet and salty! Perfect umami combination
I would also recommend to order the scallop! The sauce is amazing and it makes you wanting it more
Overall there are some dishes that can be improved but overall it is not bad! Would deffo come back and try out their other menu and signature teppanyaki
The food was on another level. I don't eat seafood but I tried everything and it was all delish a couple of items were a little strong for me but I didn't want to ruin the experience and not try everything. The service was exceptional. I will be back again with hubby next time. 10/10
Less known and often overlooked to Nobu at Crown, however if you get a chance, this is one Crown restaurant to put on your ‘must visit’ list. Customer service and attentiveness is second to none. Food is immaculately presented and the quality and taste is 5 star. The restaurant exclusive ambience and views of the Melbourne city and Yarra river are amazing. They also have private dining rooms with your own chef. Will be back in 2024.
Great friendly service and amazing atmosphere. But unfortunately the food isn’t the same level..
We had the teppanyaki and the chefs have a small talk with you and don’t play around which I actually prefer. However, the food itself wasn’t as expected.
I have been to Koko several times back in the days and thought maybe there would be an improvement but unfortunately not.
The entree was quite salty, very cold and nothing special. Same goes to the sushi and rest of the dishes. Did not taste high quality. If they provide higher quality food for a restaurant that has such an amazing interior and ambience, I’m sure they would attract a lot more customers.
The steak which we asked for medium rare, none of them were medium rare but rather closer to medium or medium well done. The fish with prosciutto wrapped around was quite dry and the prosciutto loses its special flavour once cooked.
Really wish they brought up the food game to match the service and atmosphere provided.
We booked for an ala carte lunch and decided to give Hasu a try. The venue and atmosphere was really nice. They even sat us near the windows with a great view. The restaurant's architecture was really nice and we werw in awe of how it was decorated.
The food was good as we have expected bjt the service was phenomenal. Every now and then the staff checked on us to make sure everything was alright.
Overall, its a good lunch date.
Went to Koko for a teppanyaki lunch to celebrate our anniversary. It was such an incredible experience. We received great friendly service from our chef Albert and the food was delicious and well presented. We had the sashimi, seafood broth in clay teapot, angus beef tenderloin, swordfish and Hokkaido scallops. Definitely worth a second visit!!
