What people say

Kisumé is a restaurant that truly embodies the concept of beauty. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to a world where traditional Japanese cuisine meets modern Australian sensibilities. The menu is a pure representation of the land and seas that surround Melbourne, with each dish carefully crafted to showcase the seasonality of local ingredients.

Led by Senior Executive Chef K.S. Moon and Executive Shaun Presland, Kisumé's team brings over 50 years of combined experience to the table. The Hatanaka brothers, Yosuke and Shimpei, head up the sushi bar with their mastery from Tokyo and Kyoto.

But Kisumé is more than just a restaurant - it's an experience. With three levels of dining, including Kuro Kisumé on the first floor, guests can choose from a variety of settings to suit their mood. And for those seeking something truly bespoke, Kuro offers The Table and two private dining rooms.

The attention to detail at Kisumé is unparalleled. Chef Moon personally selects each daily fish for freshness and "spirit", while the design seamlessly fuses together different realms to create a unique atmosphere.

Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, Kisumé is sure to impress with its constantly evolving journey through Japanese cuisine and Australian sensibilities.
