We were a party of 20 reserved for a 3-person combined bash. Kinka killed it with their friendly upbeat service and it was definitely as I remember comparing to the visit I made four years ago. They reminded us of the 2 hour seating limit and 15% gratuity so there wasn't any misunderstandings. We came during their meat fest which had special menu items involving barbarian size amounts of meat and towers of roast piled high.
Food - always a fan of Kinka food : ebimayo, kakemayo, bibimbap, pressed sushi, karaage, eggplant
Drinks - I don't remember much after the Samurai sake bombs we had...accompanying festive wait staff banging on pots and pans included :)
7 samurai is also a good choice - mix of fruity and traditional alcohol coloured with red, blue, lemon-lime
A big group is always how you come to izakaya; definitely makes the experience more enjoyable!
Will be back again - hopefully sooner than 4 years
