Kintan itself is an amazing experience. The quality of the food and the enjoyable activity of cooking it are great. However, Kintan in Happy Hour is just an out-of-this-world experience. You are able to save money and still get the best cuts of meat and side dishes. Though it is true you are slightly rushed if you come so late to the restaurant, I think it is a wonderful experience. Would recommend it to anyone who eats meat.

It was my second time to this location of the Flesh&Buns to celebrate my friend’s birthday and the food was just as good as I remember. Especially the starter pork rip was to die for. Service was great and attentive and it wasn’t too in your face. A little complementary ice-cream for my friend was a very nice and appreciative touch.
