| - I never imagined that I would ever involve a getting-stuck-in-an-elevator story in a review . But, our whole department, in making an unwise discussion in testing an elevator's limits, was all stuck simultaneously for over an hour. I'm not going to go into much detail there because to me it all played exactly how it would depicted in sitcoms, just pure hilarity. Once they got the elevator working, we all happily jumped out like clowns from...a clown car.For being good sports, our managers gave us an all-you-can eat Friday lunch pass. Tired of the same old pizza orders, I suggested we order take-out from Kinjo sushi.
Kinjo has received a lot of love for its in-store experience and deserves as much towards its take-out experience. We were worried that we had to wait till 11:30am (which was Kinjo's official opening time) to place our order, but when my manager called Kinjo @ 9:30am, she spoke to the enthusiastic Andre, who took our order and guaranteed to have it available by 10:30am for pickup. In fact, he even threw in a free mango/shrimp tempura roll with a few boxes of pocky sticks.
The food was great quality and tasted fresh. I usually find that for take-out orders, a lot of the quality found in an in-store experience degrades due to the time it takes to transport the food. But Kinjo's sushi was neatly packed with space to breathe between each pieces of sushi. The presentation of the rolls and nigiri were according to how you would receive them if you had ordered at the restaurant. Their combo plates are great and while I found their nigiri fish fresh, I really enjoyed their maki rolls.
Someday I'll be able to stroll into Kinjo's restaurant and have the opportunity to extend a firm handshake to the man Andre himself. Maybe I'll take an elephant with me to an elevator in hopes of getting another free lunch :D
