    The best Japanese food that I’ve experienced in Australia? If not it’s certainly up there.

    Food was really good as always. My only slight criticism would be that the wagyu beef curry with rice was not very hot and seemed like it had maybe been made for a while and had been under a hot plate. Otherwise everything was very good. Staff very friendly and efficient. We are Black Rock locals and enjoy our visit to Kicho every few weeks.
