Make a Reservation!
I am so impressed with how Kingyo handled my reservation. My table was ready exactly the time I reserved: Saturday 8:30 pm.
Service was attentive and courteous. The vibe was buzzing and full of energy but a lot more quieter than Guu.
Food wise, I was not as impressed. Everything was a little off in taste. A little too bold and overwhelming in some.
We ordered:
Vancouver famous chef Sada's Sea Urchin Shooter ($7.80)
- Love the presentation
Goma Ramen Salad with Spicy Cod Roe ($7.80)
- meh! The sesame oil overpowered everything and ended up being a little heavy as a salad
Stone Bowl Seafood Sea Urchin Don ($13.80)
- I have high expectation, maybe a little too high...
- Or I prefer my Urchin raw, fresh from the shell
Eel Puff Pastry ($10.20)
- I like the puff better than the eel stuffing and I love eel
- The filling just way too salty
I will give Kingyo another try when I am in the area. Nothing really wow me. Maybe other items on the menu are much better?!
