Tiny seats , very noisy , we ate separately as the order was not co-ordinated. My partner is a large man on a walking stick . He fell of the small seat as he sat down and fell toward a table of ladies behind him . We had made a booking for this visit but placement for us seemed unsuitable. My meaning by that comment is they don’t want you to stay and get comfortable . The seating with stools don’t allow comfort just a quick in and out visit. Our choices for food were ok but not great tasting. The service by some of the staff was good .

Kinoko is the best sushi place in Byron! It has the friendliest staff there who make dine-in or takeaway orders a breeze. The relaxing atmosphere is perfect for family and friends and the location is central for easy walks to the beach, shopping and more after your meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone coming from both near and far who wants quality authentic cuisine that satisfies even the fussiest of eaters.

Not only is this restaurant one of the most affordable in Byron Bay - the food selection and quality is excellent. The staff are from all corners of the globe and are some of the best and most attentive restaurant staff I have ever encountered. As well as their own wine selection Kinoko offers a BYO wine option with a very reasonable corkage price of $5 per bottle. So good we dined at Kinoko for all 3 of our nights out in Byron Bay.

The food was great and the staff very friendly. I ordered a Chef's Seafood Plate that I was a little disappointed with. Not so much the taste but the quantity of food on the plate. It was overpriced for what you get.

The Restaurant is small with limited seating so make sure to book a table. The food here was amazing and good value. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Beautiful fresh Japanese food. A little on the pricey side but well worth it. The only downside was that we did want the ramen that was advertised as a special but when we ordered it for lunch we were told it wouldnt be available until later in the day. Would eat here again for sure!

We had a nice meal but got disappointed that they never told us the kitchen was closing. We couldn’t order anything else but the leftovers of sushi on the rolling train. They started taking away the menus and stuff, and didn’t offer more water for a while. Don’t get me wrong, food was delicious, the staff was friendly but our experience wasn’t that nice.

I booked Kinoko online, but was a bit disappointed to be sitting in the outside area, in the arcade with the passing parade, and in Byron there is always a passing parade. Food and service was excellent but when it came time to pay, they service was slow due to faulty technology and they also charged a $4 credit card fee on a $222 bill!

Great Japanese food but more amazing service. Staff are particularly good at customer experience. Dimmi need to sort out the booking process as we arrived with no record of our Dimmi booking. As above, staff managed this with absolute elegance and control - we'll be back!
