some unusual options- food very tasty- a tad saltier than most Japanese dishes. Lively and busy- great service.

The staff are very polite and helpful. Love the way they ducked when serving the dishes yesterday during the game. Very kind of them

Delicious Fall Omakase dining experience although the atmosphere is too noisy for my taste. Service is excellent.

I've honestly never dealt with such a rude server before. We had a reservation, but the moment we sat down, they asked if we were even going to eat because of the time limit. They kept rushing us to wrap up even though our time wasn't over yet, and in the end,they literally threw the receipt at us.

Such a wonderful restaurant, I love Kinka and this is the first time I go to the original location. Great dinnner, great service and spectactular ambience.

One of the first, and still the best Izakayas in Toronto. The staff is always super responsive and very attentive. The food consistently delivers and is excellent. Love the energy.

Came on a Thursday night. Ambience and Service still good. But quality of dishes really varies. Some really good. Some OK. And some really sub-par.

The atmosphere is good, but the food is pretty mid, to be honest. The sushi rice isn't cooked well enough. It's still hard inside. I felt like I was eating sushi from Costco. As for the BBQ eel bibimbap, they added way too much water to the rice, which completely ruined the texture of the rice. Overall, it's not that good for the price.

Great dinner experience, the set meal was great, lots of unique food to try. Pretty close to the Izakaya experience, but higher end.

This was our first time to this establishment and everything was just perfect. We'll be back.

The food and service were terrific. I wish we had more time to be seated though (only 1.5hrs) because I would have liked to have another drink and maybe order something else, but I get that they are very busy. Very high quality food offerings and super friendly service. Def will return soon — thanks!

We loved our server, Renna-san from Kyushu. Delightful & warm, exceptional service and food!! Would definitely go back anytime.

We were told they’re out of fried rice so we couldn’t order it. However, we saw other guests who came after us being served fried rice. Also, don’t go there hungry because the portion sizes aren’t favourable.

Ordered take out salmon aburi sushi 12 piece. It tasted good but the price is too high for something that has nothing special to it. Sizes are small, so it's more like 6 pieces, you can't really taste the jalapeno. I recently had the same at Tom sushi in Vancouver and it was out of this world. I was expecting a lot more for this high price
