Faultless. Well worth the wait to get a seat here. There were no bad dishes and one of the most pleasant dining experiences you’ll have. Thanks

Overjoyed to receive an email noting that there had been a cancellation and I was IN! I had screwed up the booking app (being a first-time user) and had to resort to waitlisting for every possible date. But my efforts had paid off and here was a chance, at last, to sample the legendary Marumo by Moe Oo...
I cannot fault the cooking and attention to detail. Courses were well-timed, each individual dish made sense by itself and within the omakase progression. Starting with the appetizer of ameabi & buri we moved to a sublime dish of duck, mushroom and miso egg yolk which was a silky, thick flavour bomb.
Next came a beautifully textured tofu dish with rice puff balls, an excellent plate of superb quality sashimi, innovative sushi (once again, playing mostly with the textures to enhance the experience), and an exquisitely tender beef dish that paid homage to the original steak & onion but was much, much tastier. The only slightly disappointing dish was the dessert of shio koji, popcorn and chestnut which looked beautiful but tasted mostly like sweet breakfast cereal. I think something slightly more thoughtful could have been used to round out what was otherwise a perfect succession of dishes.
Definitely will come back. For $70 it is certainly great value and I can confirm that the hype is (mostly) justified - one of the top meals in Perth - provided you can be bothered to fight for a table!!
Fantastic service. Staff had excellent attention to detail from working out if I was drinking wine to putting the wine we brought on ice.
Menu was placed on the table and each meal was described to each person when served. Again attention to detail to each plate and cutlery was provided for different courses. Hidden Gem of Perth. Omg
Thank you for making my birthday very memorable. And we will be back for more.
This restaurant is tops. Lovely, unobtrusive service, beautifully prepared food, and really really reasonably priced. Fortunate to have eaten there twice now and look forward to returning.
Marumo is one of Perth’s best degustation restaurants, and its price tag of $70 per person makes eating there even more of a coveted experience. Securing a booking there has become a monumentally difficult task, as bookings are only released every few months and tend to be booked out within the first minute or so of being released.
After years of waiting to get a table here finally got to experience Marumo. It was worth the wait loved all the 7 courses. Can’t wait to be back here.
This place is amazing. Byo and food is of such a high quality I felt like I was a judge on Masterchef. I’m not a massive desert person but the desert which was beetroot focused was just amazing one if not the best desert I have ever had. I highly and I mean highly suggest this place for an amazing experience. Need to book well in advance.
Outstanding meal. Everything was so well balanced, with dishes which shone with the simplicity which brought out the best of the natural ingredients. The highlights were the duck, which melted in the mouth, the Tasmanian salmon belly sashimi which was delightfully fatty, the soba which I would have gladly eaten a whole bowl full of, and the sushi in which the variety of tastes were balanced in every mouthful.... And it's not fair to have a highlight if everything was a highlight. The entire evening was a culinary delight. Very greatful to have managed to secure a booking ( second attempt!) And hope to attend again in the future.
Absolutely fabulous food never had such an amazing experience with food like this place..... my number one Japanese place so far.....the only down side is that I couldn’t give them 10 Star ..... oh here it is ***** 5 more....
First time at Marumo and everything was absolutely delicious.. the 7 courses along with the sneaky squid salad appetiser and sorbet palet cleanser. Each course was just mouth watering and I do not have one complaint. Walked out completely satisfied and cannot wait to go there again. Amazing food, amazing service and great value. New favourite Perth restaurant without a doubt!
Service was impeccable.
I'm afraid I don't know enough words to describe the food adequately. Best to try them yourself.
It's 3 hours for each seating.. so make sure you choose good company before booking your spot.
So enjoyable when you get lucky with a booking. The duck and beef dishes were delicious and sushi/sashimi were fresh, warm and tasty as always. The dessert was delicate and delectable with just the natural ingredient and flavour shining through.
Had a very enjoyable dinner there, a good degustation menu with a good selection of seafood and meat, very fresh sashimi, and very tender beef and duck, love the mushroom sauce with the duck, definitely great quality food and delicious 😋. However, check the booking and cancellation policy and make sure you confirm and confirm your booking if you get one, not easy to get a booking.
The best meal ~$80 will get you in Perth. Provided you can get a table… Service is incredible too!
Enjoyed all the food. Straight forward good dish overall. With the price and whats been presented I'm fully satisfied and understand the hype around the booking etc. Worth to try if you haven't. Will definitely come back for more if i get lucky with the booking

A dining experience worth waiting for.
After waiting almost 3 years to successfully book a spot for dinner, my wife & I can vouch for the wonderful degustation experience that Chef Moe and his team do at Marumo.
From the moment we stepped in, to the time we exit 3 hrs later, we were made to feel welcome. The service was not rushed so allocate at least 2.5-3hrs for the dining.
The menu is seasonal and Chef Moe’s winter menu was a winner for us at $80 pp. The restaurant is very intimate and only offer around 20 pp capacity & they were very accommodating to our request to bring our newborn along in a pram so that we can breastfeed our baby between course.
The restaurant is BYO, and you will definitely enjoy the 3 hrs dining experience as time does fly when you are with the one you love. All the courses were tastefully curated and delicious, and the only complaint my wife had was that she would have loved more serving of their sashimi and seared Wagyu beef. :)
We will be counting down to the next booking opening for their Spring menu.
Tips 1: booking is very difficult as the other reviews have already indicated. You just have to keep trying and refreshing your browser when the booking opens on the dot.
Tips 2: as it’s only a single seating of up to 3 hrs a night, try to book the earliest 7pm before the other diners arrived at their later booking times if you like to enjoy a bit of quiet time initially.
Fresh tasty food, great value for money and friendly staff. Always look forward to our reservation here, my favourite is the sashimi course. It is Byo too!
Enjoyed an amazing dinner where with 3 friends. I have been trying to get seats in here for ages and my good friend finally managed to get one.
Fremantle Octopus and Cucumber.
The Octopus was tender and very delicious.
Toothfish & Zucchini.
My friend loves Patagonian Toothfish, I found it creamy and tender with a sweet flavour. Very nice!
The dish needs some thought as eating it with chopsticks was quite difficult, maybe some smaller portions?
Smoked Duck and Melon
Delicious and it all vanished so fast.
Sashimi, OMG we were warned about the freshly ground wasabi but it still just blew me away. They all were fresh and enjoyable.
Tasmanian Salmon Belly Sushi. Four pieces? Jusg wasn’t enough. Ha ha
Margaret River Yearling Beef, tender cut of beef performed. It was tender and tasted great.
Dessert was “Green Tea, Blueberry and Citrus”
Green Tea parfait with a blueberry sauce. Yum.
