I wish I could afford to eat here more often because the food is really tasty!
It is really loud in Kinka, but that's how most izakayas are; it's a happy-loud environment.
We ordered Kakimayo (baked oysters), deep fried Brie cheese with mango sauce, Kaarage, Yaki Udon, amd Kinoko Bibimbap. Everything was really good, but that udon was what stood out to me the most. I would go back just to have it again. It was so rich with beef flavour and had just the slightest bit of spicy kick. Sooo good.
The Brie cheese was very interesting, it was good but I think it needed more of the mango sauce. There are only four pieces per plate and our group just inhaled everything.
Two of us got the Cherry Blossom cocktail, it was really good, but there was maybe three sips in each of our glasses. It was like they made one and then poured half into a second glass and served it. Kind of disappointing.
I think the quality of the food is the same as the original location and it being located closer to uptown is definitely a plus. Bring some fun people and you'll definitely have a good time.
