Kobo is the workshop for Hatted Chef, Jacob Lee, a space for him to demonstrate his love for his homeland of Korea, re-engineering regional dishes onto a contemporary platform, incorporating Japanese and Australian influences for a dining experience like no other.

A solid marble chef’s table is front and centre, seating 8 guests at a time for an intimate chef's table (meaning “I leave it up to you.”), Chef Jacob breaks the menu down into “Episodes” with each episode featuring a core focus on a culinary moment of his life.

Kobo is located in Sydney's new Quay Quarter Lanes, a short walk from Circular Quay station, nestled just behind the historic Hinchcliffe House.

Exquisite food paired with exceptional soju and wines presented in a refined style and supported by interesting stories of the chef’s childhood that inspired his creations!

A review for this culinary gem was long overdue, and while the intricate nuances of the menu may have faded from memory, one thing remains clear: this restaurant redefines Korean fine dining and is worth every cent. As someone who indulges in Korean cuisine with devout enthusiasm but has never ventured into its elevated dining sphere, this experience was nothing short of transformative. My visit with my girlfriend was nothing less than an impeccably orchestrated evening. The restaurant’s intentionally limited seating exudes exclusivity, ensuring that every guest is lavished with attentive service. From the moment we sat down, it was as if the chefs anticipated our needs before we voiced them. The seasonal menu adds an element of surprise and anticipation—perfect for repeat patrons eager to discover the chef’s latest creations. At first glance, the presentation was almost intimidating in its artistry, but the staff’s thorough explanations dissolved any uncertainty. They walked us through each dish, weaving in its cultural heritage, the chef’s inspiration, and even the best way to savour it. Every bite felt like a journey through a story. The only slight misstep—and this was entirely ours—was opting for the branded Makgeolli instead of the house-made one. It’s a choice we’ll rectify on our next visit. Speaking of next time, navigating the entrance proved to be a challenge; a wrong turn down an adjacent alley had us questioning Apple Maps more than our instincts. For anyone seeking a dining experience that’s as much about discovery as it is about flavour, this restaurant delivers in spades. On our next trip to Sydney, this will undoubtedly be our first reservation.

The restaurant is lovely, but is not value for money. I have never been to a fine dining restaurant that serves humble food (cucumber, bun, etc). Overall food too salty.

Jacob Lee and his two sous chefs delivered an exquisite 11 course degustation menu which was cooked, curated and presented in front of diners. Locale - on Loftys Lane, in a simple sleek intimate setting even though guests are seated with backs to large glass panels, high bar seating where diners can view all the work to be presented and consumed at after being provided with local Korean background. Food - in a word, stunning. Simply cannot explain how beautiful each dish was presented and how the flavour combinations all work together to give guests a mouthful of Korea. Chefs - knowledgeable, friendly, delicate handwork, the care taken to ensure each dish was perfect. Value - yes, this is an expensive night but after seeing the care and attention taken by each chef, the willingness to share background stories of their Korea, I’m happy to pay. It was 2.5 hrs that ended with the most stunning burnt rice ice cream I suspect I will never taste again. A night meant for special occasions that you will not regret. Just go.
