" Kinjiro is the perfect spot for those who appreciate the intimacy of smaller restaurants. The delicious blend of flavors and the staff's attentiveness make for a memorable meal. Each dish brought its own wonderful surprises, especially their seasonal options. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking to indulge in quality Japanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my friend to Kinjiro for a post-work dinner, and we loved every minute! Every dish was delicious, yet the fried tofu with mushrooms stood out. Each serving was just the right size, leaving us both satisfied but not stuffed. I highly recommend making a reservation since it's only a small place. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a fine dining experience that I recommend for anyone who loves unique culinary experiences. The atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious. We ordered a variety of dishes and each was exceptional. However, the pricing was on the higher side. The desserts were fantastic, which made the price easier to swallow! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about Kinjiro and finally decided to give it a shot for my birthday dinner. I was not disappointed! The grilled beef tongue and truffle udon were my highlights of the night. However, I do wish the portions were a bit larger given the price. Service was impeccable, and the atmosphere feels special yet relaxed. Would go back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kinjiro is decent, but I found that it didn't quite live up to the hype. The atmosphere is nice, but the food was a bit overpriced for the quality and taste. I enjoyed my meal but didn't leave feeling awestruck. If you enjoy izakaya style dining, it might work better for you, but it wasn’t my favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Even though it was tough to score a reservation, the dining experience at Kinjiro was amazing. The combination of flavors is unmatched, especially the black cod! The service was on par with the food, friendly and attentive, taking care of us like we were at home. The interior decor and atmosphere made it feel like I was somewhere special. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was nothing short of spectacular. I went for a family celebration and everyone was blown away by the food quality! Each dish offered a burst of flavor that left us wanting more. Highlight of the evening was definitely the hojicha panna cotta, which was a delightfully crafty dessert. Kinjiro has certainly secured itself a place in my family’s tradition for years to come!
