Frequently Asked Questions
Here we’ll answers all your questions, such as “what does that word mean?” and “where can I park?”
Komeyui
The name komeyui comes from ‘kome’ (rice) and ‘yui’ (knot), symbolising authentic food bringing harmony and unity, and binding people together.
What can I expect from the dining experience?
When you visit us, you will immerse yourself in a journey of exploration and appreciation of our artistry. From the moment you arrive, you will experience dishes consciously re-invented within the creative lens of Japanese cuisine. You will witness our ability to capture moments, transform ingredients into exquisite dishes, and create a symphony of flavours, perfectly balanced to give you a sensory experience.
What is the difference between menus?
At Komeyui, we have different menus to suit different occasions and moods.
There are two Chef’s menus – the Omakase menu and the Kaiseki menu. The Omakase menu comprises of seven dishes, hand-selected by the chef. Kaiseki, on the other hand, is a set menu that comprises of true artistry. The menu is an intricately designed to demonstrate the beauty, complexity, and creativity of the Japanese cuisine.
Our lunch special menu comprises of five specially selected dishes. The meal is designed based upon seasonal ingredients and is served exclusively at the counter, to give you the full sushi bar experience. The Signature Lunch menu is a five-course tasting menu that features seasonal ingredients, cooked using Japanese techniques and flavours.
Finally, the a la carte menu offers you the freedom to explore the creativity and artistry behind Komeyui independently. The menu offers a wide range of dishes from smaller bites, such as sushi and sashimi combinations, to larger dishes, such as the charcoal-grilled steak and miso-marinated blad cod ‘saikyo-yaki’.
