The lure of the Orient has always been strong, a pull that is hard to explain or understand, but one that is fully justified, especially with regards to their cuisine. Kurumaya on Watling Street is an authentic Japanese restaurant that offers delicious food in a smart and upscale ambience. Join friends for a round of sushi at their kaiten bar which serves tasty maki, sashimi and rolls but for a unique dining experience, head downstairs to their basement restaurant with its sunken tatami seating area and selection of delicious Japanese fare.

The menu outlines a number of platters and sets although the à la carte is also appealing with seared tuna and mixed salad with mustard dressing, freshly made pork dumplings and deep fried crabs with ponzu sauce. Follow with tempuras, teppanyaki dishes or the grilled meats and seafood. Those feeling hard pressed to choose can opt for the bento box or the donburi set with rice and miso soup. For dessert, try the Japanese rice cakes or green tea ice cream, both delicious.
