| - Fair warning - if you are wanting a quiet night out with not much interaction, DON'T go here. Fortunately when I visited I wasn't looking for that.
Often before I go somewhere I tend to check out their website, and try to determine what the atmosphere is like. This place looked like a lot of fun.
Peter Kinjo was doing some rounds while we were there, big knife in hand. He was handing out boxes of Pocky to the ladies. However, when he approached the couples, the game often changed. Peter would have the guy hold his girlfriend's hand, profess his love for her, then give him the box of Pocky to give to her along with a kiss.
We hadn't reserved a table, but we got seated quite quickly at the sushi bar. I haven't had enough sushi to be able to identify it as it floated by, so we ordered off the menu. The sushi was excellent, but it definitely got crowded with plates, etc. by the end. Had there been someone sitting beside me, we definitely would have had no room. They do this to keep track of what you eat by plate colors - different colors signify different prices.
At one point during the meal, the staff stopped and did a musical number, with Peter leading it all. It was highly entertaining.
I'd recommend watching the video on the "Why Kinjo?" page on their website before heading there to get a better idea of the atmosphere.
Definitely going to be going back.
