Why Choose Kura

Why Pyrmont diners choose Kura for comforting Japanese-Korean staples, quick theatre bites, and relaxed outdoor dining

  • Satisfying Japanese Comfort Staples

    Guests consistently receive generously portioned bento boxes, ramen, and sets prepared with fresh ingredients at accessible everyday prices.

    The bento box is definitely a highlight and a great choice if you want a bit of everything. It comes with a well-balanced selection including sashimi, protein, rice, salad, and miso soup — perfect for one person and very satisfying.

  • Dual Japanese and Korean Comfort Menu

    The kitchen curates an extensive crossover menu featuring both authentic Japanese fare and acclaimed Korean specialties like bulgogi and crispy Korean fried chicken.

    The chicken is crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, and every menu item we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. On top of that, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the service is always excellent.

  • Paced for Pre-Theatre Diners

    Diners heading to evening performances at nearby Star Pyrmont rely on sub-ten-minute kitchen turnaround times to dine comfortably without rushing.

    Extra points for the fast service - I think I waited all of 10 mins for it to arrive. I was actually pressed for time and paid when I ordered just in case I had to run, and they served me in a takeout bowl, as you can notice. It was very thoughtful! But I didn’t have to, cos I INHALED the entire bowl and made it to my show in time :D

    Convenient Pyrmont positioning and rapid service allow visitors to enjoy a hot, freshly plated meal even on tight schedules.

    We went to Kura before seeing a show at The Star so didn't have a lot of time. The staff made our meals quickly and they were delicious!!

    The place has such a cozy and relaxed vibe, and I love that I can bring my dog and sit outside. There are so many great menu options, so it never gets boring.

  • Chicken Katsu Don

    The chicken was breaded well and held its integrity and flavor even with the soft, moist blanket of seasoned egg and sauce.

  • Yuzu Salmon Salad

    The yuzu salmon salad was one of my favourites. It’s light, refreshing, and has a pleasant citrusy tang from the yuzu.
