Havin lived in Vancouver for 10 years I dearly missed a great quality Izakaya - I tried a few in Montreal but none would come close to what I experienced in Vancouver. That is until I went to kinka izakaya!
Everything was fresh, delicious and made with high quality ingredients. Try the ebi mayo, tiger prawns in spicy mayo sauce; they are to die for!
Don't miss the vegetable gioza made with onions and mushrooms. Great gomae with rapini! The mocchicino in sweet soya sauce was everything you expect of it: chewy and sweet at the same time.
The vegetarian bibimbap was good but my least favourite. I thought the cheese made it greasy and overpowering the rest of the ingredients. But that would not prevent me from coming back as there are plenty of other yummy dishes to try!
Great (loud) welcoming ambiance, you will be greeted Izakaya style!
Modern decor with wooden Japanese chairs at the bar and communal tables great for groups. Friendly service...
That's all you need to know!
