Reviews for Piko Restaurant

A really pleasant evening out – the food was great – with everyone in our group choosing something different – and everyone happy with their choice. the staff are attentive; the decor subtle but relaxing; the only down side is so many of the menu items sound great – so will have to go again to try out more.
Highly recommend with added bonus of supporting up and coming hospitality students!

In a nutshell – impressive. Piko blew us away with the exciting fusion menu options, un-fussy and yet attentive service, remarkably low pricing for the dinner special (a mere $24 for 3 full courses!) and excellent quality food. Even the playlist was great and so was the ambience. We didn’t notice the time fly by, even beyond closing, and kindly no one rushed us out. We will absolutely be back, and we’ll bring our friends!! Thank you Piko for a great experience that ticked all the boxes.

Went to have lunch today with a few friends.

Was quite busy. Service is quite good, bearing in mind that they are still students. I had the Caesar Salad, it was good but not great, a bit pricey for me as I’m a uni student as well. Their hand cut fries are good however!

I really like the food and the place, as most of the front staff are students sometimes you can feel their anxiety in their smile and talking,but it’s fine they’re learning.
As I can consider myself a challenge customer cos I’ve some food intolerance, they always atend my resquest well being cordial and flexible., even sometimes I think the chef get stressed with my order.
Food taste greate and portions are generous, price is good valeu for money.

As this place is full of student staff, both the food and the service can be variable. I’ve had a great meal here with everything just about perfect, as well as an average one with greasy hash cakes and rubbery poached eggs. The breakfasts are pretty good value for money, but the small plates are really entrees and you may want to supplement with a side (though the hand cut fries look more like oven chips than deep fried ones). I’ve never tried the large plates as they were above my lunch budget. The decor is clean and stylish at Piko, so it’s actually a pleasant place to eat, if you are not too fussy, and want to support the next generation of chefs and hospos.

At these restaurants students cook and serve. I recently had lunch at Piko and the food is great, the chocolate mousse is the best I’ve ever had! Awesome value for money.
