Kome Kome - Bowden

Our visit coincided with the Friday night markets plan, but after catching a show at our favorite nearby street theatre, Kome Kome's dinner table sounded like a great option. Chef Akihiko Kurashima runs a functional kitchen and dining space on the western edge of Plant 4, overlooking Bowden Park. We tried the barramundi and shimeji saute, as well as the miso-marinated pigeon. Both dishes were presented beautifully on China plates, a welcome change from the usual takeout containers we've seen at other places. The barramundi was cooked to perfection, with a crispy mushroom skin and tender, moist meat complemented by a yuzu pepper foam. The pigeon dish was equally delicious, with a thick, juicy chiffonade on a bed of vegetable saute and asparagus. The drinks were affordable, with Coopers Pale Ale for $6.5 and local wine for $8.5. Aki was a fantastic host, treating us to a tofu starter and keeping us updated on the evolution of Plant 4's offerings. This restaurant opened a few months ago and has the potential to grow and improve over time.

I frequently visit this restaurant and always appreciate the friendly and efficient service from the owner. He is polite and attentive. The restaurant also opens earlier and more frequently than other coffee shops in plant 4, making it a great spot for an early morning coffee.

I dine at this restaurant regularly, and Aki is a fantastic cook and barista. The coffee is consistently good, and the food never disappoints. The salmon dish is outstanding for breakfast or lunch, as well as the new udon dish. The tiramisu is also delicious, and the sushi is top-notch. Overall, everything on the menu is excellent. The service is always friendly and attentive.

My foodie call when nothing else is going on It would be a fine place to eat with others, but I tend to come here alone.

Eat here regularly, Aki is a great cook and barista. reliably good coffee and food every time. Salmon dish is amazing for breakfast or lunch, as well as the new udon dish. tiramisu kills it also. sushi too. pretty much everything they offer is excellent.service always friendly and attentive.
