Affordable food with decent portion sizes and tastes good. My Japanese curry craving was satisfied but their chicken katsu curry.
Tiny hole in the wall joint that punches above its weight (in size) Decent sized, resentable meals served quickly. I had the chicken kariage bento which came with salad, miso soup, agedashi tofu and some takoyaki. Be prepared to keep your elbows in and have someone bumping into your back but for a quick, yummy meal, it was pretty good.
always no 1 gyu don and bento so far in sydney.
small shop in corner of thomas st, opposite Paddy’s Market.
quick and good service, there are option to have 2 small dishes for the price of regular size and try different varieties of food.
ramen bit too sweet for me but texture is perfect.
very recommended.
Kura is so amazing, affordable dishes with good portion sizes. It's a great place to get lunch especially on a students buget 😂
Would highly recommend everyone to try it.
Chicken nanban bento set is pretty good for a quick dinner or even take away. The space is pretty small though so i wouldn't recommend for huge group. Good take away restaurant or dine in if possible. With the meal set, you will get salmon sashimi, small takoyaki, and a piece of gyoza.
A awesome Japanese restaurant! No disadvantages .nice food and nice service! The only thing that may be a shortage is that the area is too small and a bit crowded, people from everywhere want to enjoy the delicious food here!
My 1st try at Japanese food and my friend took me to Kura, she used to come here 10yrs back and she says the taste is just the same. Small eatery, quiet busy, fresh food and subtle taste! Definitely worth a visit! Lots of option to try, I’m defo going there again!
Such a cute gem we found while walking around Sydney. Me and my partner both chose our half and half meals which was such a cool concept. Everything tasted fresh and the meal was filling. It's such a cute cosy restaurant, one of those more cramped restaurants that you actually don't mind because it feels so homely. I will definitely come back if when I visit Sydney again.
A hop, skip and jump from Paddy's Market you will find Kura. You will need to walk up 2 flights of stairs to get to the restaurant. A well set out restaurant that was full with a lunch time crowd and I can see why. Reasonably priced Japanese fare served in reasonable time and by friendly staff. The food and quantity is good for the price. Something of a must have when I visit a Japanese restaurant is Kara-age chicken. Kura's dish certainly did not disappoint.
I enjoyed eating at Kura, they make exquisite Bento dishes that makes you hunger for more. I took a while eating at Kura, bite after bite of that delicious food. I had the Bento Box Karate with Agedashi tofu and boneto flakes. Thinking about it makes me feel hungry. I also got the gyoza which was great but not amazing. The place looks old but cozy, it's clean and it's affordable.
Would recommend for lunch or dinner.

Good quality and we'll priced Japanese food, with the option to have mixed lunchboxes that allow you to try several dishes.
None of it was mind blowing, but instead, consistently good. There was an error with our tablet and half of our order didn't go through and they picked it up quite quickly, and the food made it from the order to the table quite quickly. No vibe was ok as well, your typical small restaurant in a second floor, like many in the CBD.
Small comfy place to get good japanese food. Service was friendly and helpful. Had the tofu / pork don and salmon skin tempura. Both were tasty and filling.
Excellent selection of set dishes. The curry is quite good. The random music in the background includes weird, aggro rap songs and laidback Japanese music (e.g. Ayumi Hamazaki, Kenzo etc). It is gets a bit naughty (e.g. songs with eff words) just ask the restaurant staff to switch to the polite Japanese songs.
I love this eatery, it's easily one of my favourite go-tos in the city for Japanese for the past five years. The food had never disappointed. Delicious ramen and incredibly considerate to separate the karage from the ramen bowl :) highly recommend! I don't think they allow split bills.
Kura Kura is a cute Japanese restaurant tucked away in Haymarket. Technically one location, split into two parts. Upstairs has a dining room, whereas the street level part is a smaller, authentic looking dining room and takeaway kitchen that you would typically see in Japan. Because of this, I chose the downstairs area to dine in.
It appears that solo diners are seated at the bar area, whereas couples/small groups are at the tables and I understand that the menus do differ between the upstairs and downstairs locations.
For the downstairs dining room area, you select what you want to order and order and pay at the front.
The menu has a good variety of food choices and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.
The food received was of excellent quality, prepared fast and tasted delicious.
Overall I really enjoyed dining here and will make this my regular when I am after a quality Japanese meal.
Been coming to this place since early 2000 and I always come back when in Chinatown because staff are friendly, food is good and prices are decent. The small restaurant downstairs is great when you are dining alone, but if going with friends it can get very crowded because of the small space. Better try upstairs.
Nice little restaurant that’s tucked away near Paddy’s market. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but the food came relatively quickly. The staff were friendly and all the food was fresh and tasted good. We got the:
- fried vegetables (pretty good)
- prawn gyoza (great texture and taste)
- salmon aburi (one of my favourites)
- scallop aburi (amazing!!)
- scallops (pretty nice too)
Would highly recommend, particularly for the aburi!
