KU-O Japanese Restaurant

W., and I went out for dessert one day! We decided to meet each other half way and hit up good ol' Sunnybank. We couldn't decide where we wanted to go as I hadn't had dinner yet so we decided to go to KU-O. I've not been here before and hadn't thought of going here before as I had heard bad things, like the food was overpriced and the opening hours were completely randomised.

 The restaurant was too packed for me to take any photos of the place. It's a super cute little restaurant though, cute little booths for small groups.It's a super cute little restaurant though, cute little booths for small groups.

Except this quick photo

Anyway, we got there around 8pm or so and here is their menu!

This is Green Land! It's one of the mysterious description lacking desserts on the menu. It's a big jumble of green tea ice cream, oreos, green tea wafer sticks, mint, whipped cream, plain wafers and a whole bunch of chewy mochi balls underneath everything else. W., managed to eat about half of his dessert, I enjoyed the mochi balls but I've had better green tea ice cream.

Oooh~

As I mentioned earlier, I got the katsu set, it came with quite a jumble of random stuff, a big bowl of rice, pork, chicken and fish katsu, some bright pickles, seasoned seaweed salad, a little deep fried dumpling, edamame, some tempuraed veggies, a pumpkin cooked in dashi, some cold teriyaki salmon and a little teapot of dashi.

The full set

The katsu were all well cooked, adequate if not particularly tasty.

All the katsu!

Surprise! Its a stock!

This is my little side salad for my katsu set! It had some iceberg lettuce, baby corn, one cherry tomato and a light sesame dressing. I love sesame dressing, no complaints here.

I also ordered the lychee twist, a mix of lychee, ice and mint frappe. It was actually terrible, I drank the first little bit of the drink and thought that I had a massive amount of that fluffy cream looking plume at the top, the flavour was way too creamy and barely lychee flavoured. I shoved my straw further down and tried some of the rest of the drink and it was exactly the same, much too creamy, barely any flavour and a huge amount of it.

It looked pretty

My phone for scale. As well as how much I left behind.

KU-O Japanese Restaurant
Atmosphere: 7, a very cosy and physically little Japanese decorated restaurant.
Service: 5, pretty average.
Food: 4.5, pretty unimpressed with everything. The flavours weren't very good and that drink was deplorable. I wouldn't go here again even if someone offered to pay for my meal.
