Koku Shi — Restaurant in Scotland

Sorry to say that this place has fallen off a cliff edge We used to eat in here probably once a month but the last visit was horrendous Noticed a slight change in food quality when they lived to the new premises depending on which chef was working was always better if the head chef was working in Kirkcaldy. Waited 20 minutes for glasses & water despite asking for them when given our table The draft coming from the back of the restaurant and the additional room private dining? and people smoking was really annoying Food how dissatisfied dissapointed and disastrous it was Messed up the starters brought me an omelette instead of sushi which I requested for a starter Maincourses, two of us ordered what was allegedly duck greasy oily and lucky if there was a quarter of a duck breast on the plate sticky rice was really greasy too my partners noodles looked like overdone supernoodles she didn't eat much of them mainstay of Japanese cuisine is runny eggs my egg was absolutely rock solid Another main course was served in what looked like a starter bowl it was tiny not what had been served up on the last visit - same dish There were other diners not happy that night either - should have realised something was off when the party next to us left and hadn't eaten all their food either The couple who couldn't get a walk in were the lucky ones! clearly the new place in Perth has stretched the quality of the chefs too thin and Kirkcaldy has had the short straw Such a shame because we used to love dining here sadly never again...

This is definitely a nicer setting than their old place across the road. There is more room, but at the same time, it feels cosy. We opted for the chicken ramen, haggis balls x3, chicken dumpling gyoza, and Japanese fries with a cola and a latte. As the haggis and gyoza were on the starter menu and the ramen on the mains, we asked for it to be brought out at the same time. However, all the dishes were brought out one at a time with a slightly longer gap in between than we had anticipated. I'm not sure if this slower style of serving is on purpose in order for us to savour each dish (or get used to eating with chopsticks! There are knives, forks, and spoons available). If it is, then you might struggle to get a quick bite to eat. The food itself was really nice and couldn't complain about the taste, if anything it could have been a bit hotter and the ramen (at £17.95) could have been served in a bigger bowl and filled up to the brim. The latte was very nice. The servers were polite and well presented. There are customer toilets available to the rear. Because it's a specialist Japanese establishment, do be prepared to pay a little more for the food and drink. Overall, a very nice place to eat and drink, we would certainly...

My family had the worst dining experience of our lives. Despite what we saw on Google, they don't actually have a kids' menu. The lady at the counter kindly offered to make a smaller version of their noodle dish for my 5-year old daughter, but it was so spicy she couldn't eat a single bite.

We ordered a salmon avocado California maki, which the menu stated contained only salmon, avocado, and sesame seeds. Instead, it came with no sesame seeds but was slathered in mayo and chili sauce. I don't eat chili and would never have ordered it if I'd known. My husband got a tofu salad with a choice of lemon or teriyaki sauce. He wasn't asked which he wanted, so they gave him teriyaki, which was sickeningly sweet.

The presentation of the dishes was pathetic, with a few sad salad leaves thrown on the plate. The background music was irritating pop songs, completely ruining any chance of a Japanese restaurant atmosphere. When we asked for the bill and complained about the food, the attendant reported it to the person in charge, who never even bothered to speak with us. They gave us a measly 10% discount on the cheapest dishes, a grand total of £1.40 off! I couldn't recommend...
