When I was a little boy, I hoped to one day be surrounded by fat Japanese men prancing around and singing Happy Birthday to me. I was always the special kid in class.
Today, my childhood dream has finally been fulfilled. I came to Kinjo Sushi to celebrate my uncle's birthday, and after reading all the good reviews about this place, I had high expectations walking into this Japanese themed restaurant. The atmosphere is a traditional Japanese building, set with cherry blossom paintings and samurai swords. Even the waiters were dressed in traditional Japanese attire.. that was a good laugh!!
I'm not a sushi connoisseur, but I can say that the sushi was delicious. We ordered the shrimp tempura, mango sushi rolls, spider rolls, fried tofu, and unagi rolls, all of which were tasty. Everyone at our table swept clean every single piece of rice and caviar on the plates.
Our waitress was very quick and personable. Our orders came out incredibly fast (the chefs must be sushi masters!!), but our food was not prepared in haste. All of our rolls were rolled tightly, and the rice did not fall apart when we grabbed them. And boy, I ate my fried tempura faster than a ninja could throw his shuriken. (yes I went there..)
However, it wasn't just our waitress who was looking after our table. Another member of the management came and asked us how our food tasted and handed out free Pocky. Let me repeat that: Free Pocky!! At that point I exploded a little with a small burst of happiness and shamelessly snatched my Strawberry Pocky, shoving all the wafers in my mouth in less than 3 seconds. Do not judge me.
In the end, the service was great, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the sushi was delicious as always. I will definitely come back to Kinjo Sushi and Grill Restaurant.. this place is out of this world!!
