Wonderful AYCE sushi! Definitely worth a try, sushi was fresh and tasty!
Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere. It’s my ideal spot for sure! Highly recommend, something for everyone, even if you’re on the picky side!
Fairly busy for a weekday that brings a sense of good business

Kinkaku Izakaya offers a great dining experience with fast service and delicious food. The AYCE option is popular, featuring a very good selection that makes ordering easy. While the atmosphere can be noisy, the restaurant maintains a clean and comfortable environment. Sushi lovers will appreciate the recommended dishes, especially the fresh and flavorful sushi. The staff members are very kind and attentive, making the experience enjoyable, with friendly greetings adding to the ambiance. Some dishes like Miso Soup and vegetarian udon are highly praised, alongside the fantastic karaage. The restaurant carries sparkling sake and provides the all-you-can-eat style common in Japanese izakayas. Customer reviews highlight the excellent crème brûlée and the tender meat, though some felt it needed more flavor. The menu could benefit from more salmon specialty rolls instead of eel, based on customer preferences. Additionally, the staff is well-informed about gluten allergies and can accommodate various dietary needs, including offering gluten-free soy sauce. Overall, Kinkaku Izakaya is a good place to dine with friends and family, especially for special gatherings or date nights, just be prepared for the noise level.
