Well, we all started out too late and the restaurant we wanted to go to closes their kitchen at 10. So walking back toward downtown, we spotted Kintaro and they close at 1 am! Friendly greeting when we walked in, and there were a few tables so it looked promising. First things first, pitchers of very cold Sapporo.
We started with gyoza and karaage. The gyoza were larger than I expected with tender pork filling. The karaage could've used some type of sauce to go with. I was happy they had ramen! So I ordered the Kintaro ramen and it hit the spot! Nice tender pork belly and good broth. The others played it safe with the Kintaro Dons...chicken and red bell peppers over rice. I sampled one and it was really good!
Great place to come to! Especially since they are open late. Service was friendly and attentive! I would definitely come back when I come back to visit.
