We had a group of four and all of us loved the food and general ambience. It was quiet for lunch so we had the space to ourselves so we could all be heard - no other chatter. Sensational lunch. Creative, good vegan food. Coming back for dinner degustation menu one day.

Kobo was an intriguing omazake experience allowing us to taste a different side of Korean cuisine. The food was delicious and the staff were polite and enthusiastic in explaining the origins of the dishes. At $185 pp, it is reasonable and great for special occasions.

Amazing food - the thought, detail, originality (and not to mention amount of prep required) was outstanding. Great flavours and textures and beautiful presentation. Original experience with only the one 12 seater table means that the chef can interact with patrons and explain every course.
