Reviews
For entree, we had the agedashi tofu, which was beautifully done — light and crispy on the outside, silky soft inside, soaking up that savoury dashi broth perfectly. Simple, comforting, and executed really well.
The black pork katsu was incredibly juicy and succulent, while the gyu katsu was equally delicious. Grinding your own sesame seeds and mixing them with the tonkatsu sauce truly elevates the experience — the aroma of toasted sesame and that fresh, nutty flavour make such a difference.
We also enjoyed the sashimi and assorted sashimi poke bowl. Everything was very fresh, though I would have loved a slightly more generous fish-to-salad ratio. Still very enjoyable.
A special mention to their onion dressing, whether homemade or not — absolutely addictive on the thinly sliced cabbage. You can even ask for extra cabbage, which I happily did. Sorry Kyue… I may have almost finished the whole bottle of onion dressing
Thank you for a wonderful meal. See you next time.
Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. The Chicken Katsu Deluxe was the standout for me , perfectly crispy, tender, and absolutely irresistible. Wide range of drinks as well.
The team’s hospitality made the experience even better. Such a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Well worth checking out, and we’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for the lovely service and a truly memorable meal!
We ordered Tonkatsu Katsu Deluxe set, Wagyu Curry Udon, Salmon Avo Salad & Teriyaki Poke Bowl.
The Tonkatsu is love at first crunch, crispy, golden brown, juicy & tender. Delicious with the crushed roasted sesame with Tonkatsu sauce. The salad & poke bowl is refreshing & Wagyu Curry Udon is delicious.
Love the different sauces for each dish. Staff is friendly.
To start we had a standard sashimi platter, each sashimi piece was fresh and got a decent variety.
We ordered the Kaisendon, which included sashimi salmon, king fish, nori, scallops and an egg. This was absolutely standout and would eat it regularly!
The other dish was the whole eel unaju and it didn’t disappoint, was flavourful and just a perfect dish.
Standout Japanese restaurant in the middle of an apartment block, on a Sunday it was relatively easy to find parking and didn’t have to make a booking. Once again, definitely will be back to try their Katsu as we saw others order it and it looked amazing!
The restaurant used previously used oyster shells to serve food. Inside one of the shells there were leftover shrimp eggs from a previous customer, which was extremely unhygienic.
Even worse, one of the oyster shells used to decorate the fried shrimp plate had a worm inside it. This was very disturbing and completely unacceptable for a restaurant.
When we reported this issue to the staff, no apology was given, which made the experience even more disappointing.
Food hygiene and customer service should be taken seriously. I hope the restaurant improves their sanitation practices.
The place has small space, but tidy decorated seating. The ambience is good, but the place may be hard to locate for first time visitors since the signage is small and hard to see from street level.
The menu is quite interesting, but somehow they don’t combine their signature pork or beef katsu with Japanese curry, though you can have with less traditional options like chicken or prawn katsu . Prices on the menu are premium, reflecting the Sydney North Shore premium location. Customer services are good as usual in Japanese restaurants. You can pay with all type of credit cards plus a surcharge of 1.5%.
We ordered the Wagyu gyukatsu, tonkatsu set tempura don and Agedashi Tofu. All of these were deep fried very well with good quality oil, as we sometimes feel unwell after eating deep fried foods at other restaurants but not at Kyue.
The tempura is uniquely seasoned unlike other restaurants so it tastes very good on its own, even without dipping sauce.
A lot of comments complain about the price. However at $40 per person, this would be the price for a good quality Japanese Dinner, plus the portion sizes were large too. We could barely finish our meal and other tables did not finish theirs.
The only complaint is that their kitchen cannot keep up with the orders, as we ordered at 7:35pm and the food came at 8:18pm, more than half an hour later. There were many tables waiting for their food.
Overall, I would definitely return again but arriving at an earlier time.
We had a lovely experience at KYUE. The staff were very caring and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious. We started with edamame and had the Chicken Teriyaki and GYU Katsu for mains – both were full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this place!
Wonderful Japanese dining experience!
We tried the chicken teriyaki, gyukatsu, and plain edamame — all dishes were fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The service was excellent, and the staff were polite and welcoming. Really glad we gave Kyue a try, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommended!
