Such a beautiful experience from Restaurant Ka. It was one that I will never forget. The flavours of each dish were detailed and to perfection. All the dishes were so different but all absolutely delicious.  It made our birthday celebration even more special. We hope to be back soon

Thank you Zac, Allan and Erica, for the service, attention to detail and exceptional tasty courses!

Intimate and comfortable setting, every course has its own distinct flavours. Port Lincoln calamari was great! (Along with everything else)

This is an unique restaurant that offers unique gourment foods especially created by the famous chef Zac. It is a type of fusion foods with Asian flavours. The restaurant is nested in a traditional shop houses on the quiet street in Darlinghurst, so it is not very big with the kitchen at the front. Seats are limited to around 16 the most, so booking is essential. If we compare it with other similar restaurants run by a Michelin rated chef, the foods gets rated equally well but the presentation may be less impressive than others. Pls keep in mind, this is a place to appreciate chef's cooking, not to get filled up, so it won't be value for money in that term. Though not the best in its class, still highly recommended.

Food was amazing at Ka! So glad to meet the founder and chef, and he also had high praise from another restaurateur and friend Bluedoor.
I know Australia is on the Hat system as opposed to Michelin, but if Michelin were ever a thing in Australia, they would most definitely get a star, in my opinion!

Every dish was well thought of, the squid dish was impeccable. We even had an extra cheese dessert with truffle. Staff were engaging and it was fun to sit by the counter and watch all the food being prepared.

We were seating next to some guests who were a little on the loud side but that’s not pertaining to the restaurant itself- but the experience and location was great!!! Would totally come back and recommended this place to our other friends and colleagues in Sydney
