The food was a great quality - fresh and tasty. Portions as it's usually in izakayas are on a smaller size. Price a bit higher that it could be for such size. The waiter guy was nice and helpful. A couple of other waitresses were less friendly than the first time we've visited Kingyo (when it felt super welcoming). Overall, lovely place. Definitely would be glad to go there again.
We love the food there and whenever we visited Vancouver from Australia, we always went there for dinner. This trip we stayed in Vancouver for 4 nights, went on the first and last night. We are back there again next month when in Vancouver and go there again. Lovely food and reasonably good value. Friendly staff. Can be noisy as tables are close together and there is a big long Bamboo table. Best to book as it gets packed, they do take walk ins.
Love the food. The black/brown unfinished concrete floor is awful and takes away from an otherwise nice decor.
