| - Cute little place in the most unexpected neighbourhood. Decor was very well thought out. The retro and vintage design was all very fun. This is my first time here after seeing a myriad of my friends posting lovely photos of the food many months ago. I should have came earlier because I didn't know I was missing this much greatness.
This is a slightly more civilized place than Guu. Personally, I don't care for Guu that much. I think I like Kingyo more because this Izakaya can essentially be a family friendly place to dine at. (Less noise and much roomier).
Service was impeccable! Foods were all Japanese fusion of some sort. Don't expect to come here looking for traditional Japanese sushi cuisine. It's funky and quirky at times. All in all, I think Kingyo just wanted us to have a little break from the stresses of city life and come in to have a little fun-ness in their humble abode.
They seated us at the bar and unexpectedly, I was so glad they did. Normally, I would detest to that idea. But having cute little toy games to play and a large projector screen playing the Japanese version of "Godzilla" in front of me wasn't too shabby at all. Nope! Not one bit.
Now onto the food. It was good, but really, they have a complicated menu, where I couldn't remember the names. Heck, when I got there, I opened up yelp and ordered off of the yelper's photos. Dishes were beautifully presented, a little pricey for some, but well worth it because everything was super fresh.
I think if I come back for two again here, I'll definitely sit at the bar! Giving this place a perfect 5 because there was absolutely nothing bad to say about it. When we left, the waitress walked us out to the door until we got into our car. Lolz... A little exaggerated, but yes, she opened the door for us, looked out, and waved like crazy with a huge smile saying, "thank you and good bye." How sweet! Haha...
