As always, the food was delicious and the service on point! Its often hard to find consistency in food offerings at restaurants but that is not the case here. Have been a half dozen times in the past year and never disappointed.

Visited KINKA with my 12 year old daughter. We had a great time! The staff was sooo nice and helpful. Food was good and flavourful. We had the kimchi udon, octopus balls, salmon sashimi, miso soup, edamame and black sesame ice cream. When the waitress heard it was my daughter’s birthday, she brought her a matcha cheesecake with icecream at the end of the meal, which made her day. It was an amazing experience and we’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Toronto 😊

Great place for dining and for groups. The entire dinner experience was amazing. It met past any expectations I had. The staff was fun and friendly too. It was a pleasure to eat there and hopefully will do so again when in Toronto again.

When I saw this place and their menu, I was a little skeptical bc authentic Japanese izakaya doesn’t serve bibimbap. Still went in and tried though. Food was good, sashimi was fresh. The only let down we had was their wagyu carpaccio and wasabi octopus. Those should’ve been served raw, but they were cooked. I thought they were authentic but it’s still a fusion. Service was good nonetheless, servers were attentive despite being super busy. Portion was on the smaller side, but not an issue because we were able to try different food. Would return if I’m craving for some fusion food.

Eugene, thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the fresh sashimi and attentive service. We appreciate your feedback on the wagyu carpaccio and wasabi octopus; we strive for authenticity while embracing fusion. We hope to see you again for more of our unique offerings!
