save this, for dining experience in Sydney you won’t forget by chef @chunga_hector at @kurosydney

We tried the set menu at Kuro Sydney, with plenty of seafood across the courses, plus wagyu and duck making their way to the table. If you’re someone who wants to try a bit of everything rather than commit to one main, this is the kind of dinner to have on your radar.

The Japanese-Peruvian combination is what makes this one a little different from your usual dinner plans. And there was beautiful creative cocktails from @kahiisydney created by @craftedbyjude in the mix too, which deserves its own little moment 🍸

For your next date night, birthday dinner or catch-up that deserves more than “let’s just grab something”, save these two names together.

P.s., don’t miss out on the tuna carving nights or ceviche making classes.

This is what keeps me going.

Seeing people around a table, learning, cooking, laughing and enjoying something that means so much to me.

Ceviche has been part of my journey for a long time, but being able to share the culture and story behind it makes it even more special.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Ceviche Class at Kuro and a special thank you to Jenny for capturing these moments so beautifully. You brought back exactly what I felt that day.

More experiences, more stories and definitely more to come.
Hector × Kuro. Sydney.

🇯🇵🇵🇪 JAPAN MEETS PERU IN SYDNEY — NIKKEI DINING AT KURO

We recently visited Kuro Bar & Dining in Sydney CBD to experience Chef Hector Chunga’s take on Nikkei cuisine — where Japanese techniques and ingredients meet the bold flavours of Peru.

And Hector has quite the story behind the food.

Born in Piura, Peru, Chef Hector trained at acclaimed Peruvian restaurants Astrid y Gastón and Mayta, before moving to Japan where he served as Main Chef at the Peruvian Embassy in Tokyo. After returning to Australia, he spent three years leading the kitchen at Warike and developing its Nikkei concept before joining Kuro in 2025.

For our dinner, Hector took us through Kuro’s 7-course menu, beginning with a series of snacks:

🥢 Dashi Edamame & Kombu Dashi Broth
🐙 Octopus Causa & Purple Olive Sauce
🌶️ Tuna Nduja, Crispy Cone & Onion Pickles
🥩 Crunchy Wagyu Nigiri & Gunkan Beef Tartare

Then came:

🐟 Aburi Dry-Aged Bonito
Capsicum tamari, yuzu & pineapple

🌶️ Tuna Tiradito
Yellow chilli pepper tiger’s milk & sesame oil

🦐 Grilled King Prawns
Yuzu oil & pickles

For the mains, we experienced:

🦆 Aged Duck
Maple syrup, figs, lemongrass, bok choy & orange

🥩 Black Angus Scotch Fillet
Wasabi & chimichurri, with grilled eggplant, miso glaze & furikake

And to finish:

🍫 Lucuma Fondant with Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

That final dessert brings it back to Peru again, with lucuma, a fruit strongly associated with Peruvian desserts.

What I enjoyed most was seeing ingredients and techniques familiar from Japanese dining taken somewhere completely different. Yuzu, kombu, dashi, tamari, wasabi and furikake sit alongside causa, tiger’s milk, chimichurri and lucuma — a pretty clear expression of Hector’s journey between Peru, Japan and Australia.

Kuro describes its broader philosophy as combining Japanese precision with Australian produce, while Hector brings the Peruvian influence into the kitchen.

Ceviche verde 🌿
As a proud northerner (I say that because I was born in Piura, a vibrant city in northern Peru that borders Ecuador — two incredible countries full of flavor and culture), I’ve always had a deep love for ceviche.

One of the reasons I’m here on this beautiful island is to share a piece of my homeland — the quality of our ingredients, the cultural influence we carry, and the techniques we’ve embraced and refined over the years.

I’m passionate about seafood, meeting new people, and creating moments around the table. It means a lot to share stories and dishes that reflect the culinary history of where I come from.

Here’s a taste of that story: ceviche verde — a fresh twist on the classic, with coriander-infused tiger’s milk, snapper as the star, and crispy plantains for a touch of texture and soul.

We found one of our favourite restaurant menus of 2026 and it only got better with every course.

@kurosydney @chunga_hector

A premium Japanese-Peruvian feast with Sydney Rock oysters, scallop sashimi, jalapeño tuna tartare, silky ceviche, signature fried chicken, charcoal-kissed octopus, aged duck and an MB9+ wagyu striploin that absolutely lived up to the hype.

Make room for the lucuma fondant too.

Tuna & Aji amarillo
This tiradito has been with me for a few years now. The marriage of fish and chilies, citrus and tiger’s milk remains unchanged. The rest and just as important, is everything that evolves around it: family, adaptations, time, cities, garnishes, experiences, and new kitchens. Like the years that shape a relationship, each element reflects a stage. Family walks with you, garnishes give it style, and every shift tells a story, just like in a lasting marriage, where the essence stays the same, but life brings change.
What’s true is the history this dish carries, the joy it’s brought me, the way it connects me to my country and, above all, how it’s drawn sighs from my guests or brought a forgotten memory back to life.
