Kazuki's Restaurant

A beautiful fine dining experience! All the food was beautifully crafted and the flavours between each course varied and unique yet complementary. I booked for the 5 course tasting which included a first course with a variety of small bites. I had mentioned during the booking process an allergy to certain shellfish and the chef's made sure not so much as stock containing shellfish was included in my meal. They also gave a complimentary serving of chocolate mousse to celebrate my fiance's birthday. The restaurant was intimate and cosy and would recommend for a romantic dinner for those who appreciate fine dining.

This fine dining restaurant with Japanese influence has received outstanding reviews for its services. Customers have praised the excellent course menu, which features beautifully plated dishes that are both satisfying and visually stunning. The restaurant is commended for its range of flavors, textures, and colors, as well as its sourcing of unique and distant foods. One customer even expresses a desire to see the inclusion of local native species in the menu. The team working at the restaurant is also highly praised. Customers have also highlighted the positive aspects of the tasting menu and add-ons. They enjoyed the abundance of snacks, although some felt that they were a bit heavy. The bread and butter were delicious, with the butter having a unique "nori" flavor. The omelette with generous servings of crab was also a hit. The only dish that received some criticism was the A5 Wagyu, as it was not as melt-in-your-mouth tender as expected. Overall, the restaurant is praised for its attentive and efficient service, high-quality ingredients, interesting flavors, and fantastic presentation of dishes. It offers an excellent fine dining experience with Japanese influence. Alex

Great food with exceptional service. Fine ingredients assembled in Western style. Looking at the food, I was thinking about modern Australian cuisine instead of Japanese food.

We dine out a lot, but the quality and variety of food served as part of the 7 course degustation and wine pairings blew us away, we kept saying we couldn’t believe we haven’t came here before. The waitress said the older chef doesn’t believe in advertising and marketing, it’s such a shame, as this restaurant should be all over Insta and can’t get a booking at. What a find! We’ll be back again for sure.

REVIEW: I came to Kazuki's to celebrate a friend's birthday and we left full and happy! ❤️ My top 3 favourites on the night are the assortment of snacks, the moreton Bay bug dish, and the duck. ❤️‍🔥 The snacks had a lot of technique and different elements, making them both visually stunning and enjoyable to eat. I loved the snacks because they each strive to be memorable and unique in almost ONE bite, meaning the flavours pop. 🤌  Then came the moreton Bay bug dish. The pasta was al dente, with a unique galangal foam that added vibrant colour and a little pepperiness. The moreton bay bug and the octopus were perfectly cooked. This is one of the most unique and yummiest dishes I've ever had! 🤩 Lastly, the duck was great as well. Their generosity extends to providing two cuts of the duck where it's more sustainable than providing one part! The most interesting was the daikon cake. 🫓 By itself, it doesn't have much flavour. But when a touch of heat and flame has been added to it, the crust looks appetising and flavour-wise it really lets the star (duck) shine through without fighting for the spotlight. It's the best follow-up act! ❌ My least favourite was the tete de moine. There's alcohol in the montelimar, which was quite harsh and blunt on the taste buds. Personally, not for me because I don't like alcohol shouting at me. 🍾 ➖  Final note on the food. The additional crayfish omelette was not for me. Although the creamy parts of the omelette, the smattering of caviar and the delicious crayfish bisque created a dream, the dish was too savoury overall. Unfortunately, it felt too heavy and out of place for the otherwise "clean" 7 course menu. ✔️  Service was my favourite. We met Masa, and you could tell he was enthusiastic about introducing the food, as well as hearing our thoughts. Although it was my name on the booking, he made an effort to remember my friend's name as well and continuously referred to it on the night. Masa really turned our experience into a memorable and incredibly personable one! 🔆

Outstanding! 7 course was excellent, fantastically plated and without substantial challenge to finish (yet still very satisfying). Superb range of flavours, textures, and colours with an incredible range in sourcing distant and unique foods. I would absolutely die to see a plating inclusive of local native species; and the team are a really special crew too.

Kazuki captures native Japanese food and pairs it with the best Australian produce. Chef Kazuki strives for balance and simplicity. The snacks were presented all at once, which was a pleasant surprise. Seeing the detail of every dish really showcased their refined skills. Every little bite was done extremely well. Little savoury explosions of flavour! For mains, there wasn’t a single dish that we didn’t like. Everything was balanced and presented beautifully. Kingfish paired fantastically with the buttermilk and mango. The lobster was outstanding, probably the highlight dish for me from the tasting menu. For the duck dish, Kazuki served 2 different parts which is very rare in most restaurants. Most restaurants default to the breast but Kazuki took it one step further to include a thigh piece, which is a plus in my books. We added the infamous omelette with the crayfish. This has been on their menu for a very long time so we had to try it. It was ridiculously good - every bite was savoury, rich, sweet, delicate and decadent. The desserts were great finishers to the meal. Not only are they beautifully presented but they tasted phenomenal. The cocktails were also right up our alley. Highly recommend trying Kazuki’s if you haven’t.
