I had an amazing experience at Kinka sushiba.The sushi was fresh and flavorful, with a great variety of options. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I highly recommend trying Big Prawn Tempura and Spicy Nasu+Tofu! Can't wait to go back!
Nice vibe to hang out with friends. Big pawns were fresh. Karaage was nicely fried. Takoyaki was good. Sake Sangria was my first time trying and was really good, a bit sweeter than expected but acceptable. Sushi was disappointing though, a bit dry and tasted old. Nice vibe and setting. Staff was very friendly.
The food was a 10/10 and the drinks were also unique and tasted great. A very fun vibe to this place. Atmosphere lost a star only because it was very loud. But honestly the interior was so cool and welcoming, a definite must-see. The service was top tier too, they made sure to celebrate my husband's birthday in a way that was more comfortable for introverts (without all the crowd singing) and then took a Polaroid picture of us together as a memento for our night 🩷
TLDR: sushi was not good, takoyaki had little or inedible squid
I came and ordered six pieces of sushi, takoyaki and chicken karage. Only the karage was decent. The sushi came with so little fish and just all rice, it wasn’t balanced and the yellowtail didn’t taste great. The takoyaki either had very little squid in the pieces or if it did have it, it was tough and inedible.
YUMMERS!! Super cute izakaya I didn’t even know existed until recently and have been meaning to try for a while!!
Great atmosphere (well.. we were there on a Wednesday night lol) and the food and drinks were lovely 🥰 Will be returning for sure!
