    Set in the heart of Black Rock village, Kicho is conveniently located. We sat at the window and enjoyed the breeze. The feed me menu was lovely although portions were small. We paired the dishes with sake & Pinot Gris. The sake was pleasant but I’d choose differently next time I think (wine or cocktails). Some crockery dishes were chipped. A nice experience, the tempura zucchini flower & chicken dish were highlights - very moreish. Thank you.

    Kicho is a lovely japanese restaurant. The food is superb, service is a bit slack but it depends who you get on the night. It is def one of local favourites

    We used to think Kicho was the best restaurant in Black Rock, but it has slipped. Attentiveness of waiters was poor, food initially came out far too quickly until we told them to slow down. We eventually let ourselves out the door.
