With Japanese garden scenes dancing across the walls of Ku-O restaurant, it’s hard to believe it's nestled in Sunnybank’s Market Square. Be transported to Japan among timber seating and furnishings with walls lined with sake bottles and hanging terrariums, while bright paper umbrellas and cane lighting hang from the ceiling to create a warm atmosphere for intimate dining. Delve into the mixed sashimi on rice (kaisen don) or one of Ku-O’s many yakitori sets – perhaps the chicken thigh or the salmon skewers. Nibbles ranging from crumbed oysters to crab meat or vegetable croquettes are also available all through the day for those who prefer just to graze. For dessert, indulge in a glutinous rice cake filled with brown sugar (daifuku) or sip on a taro-flavoured frappe shake.
