Kushi Tombo

Coming in on the back of a run of terrible photos is this unidentifiable shot of my new favourite restaurant, Kushi Tombo.  I can take most of the blame for the terrible photography but some of the credit goes to the extreme overhead lighting, dark restaurant and pitch black evening.  Photography and me are like Chocolate and Miso.

Anyhow, I have to write about the restaurant today or I will surely explode with enthusiasm, it is that good.

Its small, semi industrial interior combined with its dark timber exterior immediately point to something unusual.  Add this to the massive staff and enthusiastic welcome makes you feel like you are coming home to your own house.

The food is spectacular and very unusual.  The menu is practically unreadable for me, but I do know that it tastes great.  One thing I steered clear of was braised rectum, but everything else was up for grabs.  They do a great job of little fried or BBQ’d finger foods and some terrific salads of raw chicken and crispy fried lotus root.  The service is great, it is a little over priced but still unbeatable as far as I am concerned.

The name Kushi Tombi roughly translated means 94 Dragonflies.  I would give it 94% the only let down was that I had to step out into the cold afterwards and go home.
