Kinda Izakaya offers high-quality, delicious Japanese dishes at reasonable prices. The restaurant has a lively and friendly atmosphere, which can be quite noisy and crowded, but in a pleasant way. It is a great spot for both groups and solo diners, with a good selection of single seats. While parking can be challenging and it gets full quickly, the delicious small plates make it worth visiting. Some customer favorites include salmon sashimi and chicken heart. The ambiance feels more Izakaya-y than most in the US, with walls covered in Japanese anime and kitch posters. The lively environment includes fun music and a chill vibe, making it perfect for late-night dinners. The staff are friendly and accommodating, often allowing guests to stay late. Recent visitors have enjoyed dishes like salmon and okonomiyaki, noting how authentic and tasty they are, especially for those who appreciate Japanese flavors.
