Basically you fill your bowl up with meat and vegies and sauces of your choosing, and then the chefs cook it up for you on their hotplate. Can go back as many times as you like which is a good thing. My first bowl wasn't too great, seemed to be lacking sauce and was dry, but my second bowl was much better as I changed it up a bit. I reckon my stir frys at home taste slightly better, so on that alone I thought it was ok to slightly above average.

For desert we had banana, apple and marshmallows with a hot chocolate which they melt in front of you. Once again it was ok.

It was a nice experience and something different, however I probably wouldn't choose to go back if it was up to me. It was probably about a 5.5 out of 10. It gets the .5 because I didn't have to pay for it.

Simply outstanding in all departments. Will do a full review when on holidays.

Used to love KK, although it sounds as though none of their fare has changed in 20 years

Hadn't been there for 20+ years, since Kutchy had it .. Place looks miles different than it did on the end of season footy pub crawls back in the early 90's. They've done a fantastic job of keeping that old Port feel, whilst also jazzing the place up a bit.

Missus had a Parmy, I had Schnitz with Pepper, kids had a serve of Nuggets and Chips each. Add a Lemonade, Apple Juice and Large bottle of sparkling water and it came to $45 after Ent Book discount. Excellent value imho.

Schnitz was solid (not great but not bad in any way either). Some of the other meals they were carrying out looked awesome.

Happy to go back there again.

6.5/10

Was there a group of loud women who started in the front bar and then proceeded to the dining area around 6:30?

There was a large group of mostly women at a looooong table. My missus, being the people watcher she is, was trying to work out which company they were from.

Port Adelaide Cricket Club, what was the woman/man ratio?
