    We had a superb experience last night, the welcoming presence of the staff was very warm and courteous. The food are excellent, we enjoyed every single serving. I love the ambiance of the authentic Japanese set up very comfortable. And most of all they're party shooters with the hapoy birthday song was awesome. Kinka staff and to the people who sang to grace my birthday..THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HAD A BLAST.. YOU MADE MY DAY EXTRA SPECIAL...

    We celebrated my daughter’s 30th bday and the staff was super Accommodating in allowing us to make the evening special for her. Can’t say enough good things about our experience and the food is so delicious. For 7 people without tip it came to $400CA which is great value for the amount we drank ate!! Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Brought a friend as it was their first time ever eating there and we had a great time. Chose their set menu which requires at least two people to order due to portioning size and it was worth it. We both were full by the end. Food taste great, had a good chat with the staff as they had a moment to spare. My friend had a great time and wished they knew about the place sooner. Will definitely come back and bring another friend who has yet to eat here. If you are driving give yourself time due to traffic as well as there is a green P parking lot nearby the restaurant. If you are commuting it is super accessible as it is around the corner from Bathurst subway station.

    I ordered the cheese and vegetable bibimbap, and the bowl was almost empty. It was literally a tiny bowl of rice, with a few pieces of lettuce and two mushrooms. I have never been so disappointed with the quality of food. There is no value for money, the food was bland, and the portion was exceptionally small. My friends ordered the set menu, and they didn't eat half the food because it did not taste good - nobody wanted to take the leftovers home. There are better Japanese restaurants in the area, I would not recommend going here.

    Hi Alexa, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the bibimbap and set menu. We appreciate your honesty and will use your comments to improve our offerings. We hope you'll give us another chance to exceed your expectations in the future.
