Kinka Izakaya

The Best Japanese Sushi Izakaya with super fresh Sashimi, Sushi and all the delicious tapas to share. Great selection of sake, beer, wine and cocktails. The staff there is also super friendly with great service. A must try Japanese Restaurant in Toronto North York.

It is a vibrant and friendly restaurant catered to a younger crowd. When you walk in, the staff will shout their welcome loudly in unison. This is a popular place so reservation is highly recommended.

This is not your typical quiet Japanese restaurant. It is a unique blend of a bar and a Japanese eatery. The food served is between traditional Japanese and fusion items, offered in tapas style. The menu change often and the daily specials are superb.

The open kitchen, the friendly staff and the boisterous atmosphere make this restaurant an excellent place for gatherings.

Servers are fantastic and the cocktails were amazing. Their tofu was quite good as well.

If you want to go with a large group for fun and drinks, Kinka is a great spot.

Cute place to hangout at Sheppard Yonge! Drink and food price are reasonable, either tapas or noodles, etc are tasty. Got the cat drinks which is really good. They have non-alcoholic option too.
Good service and ambiance! Would go back to try more tapas and drinks.

Staff is nice and polite. Environment is clean and comfortable.
Set menu”s price is worth and reasonable. Presentation of food is attractive and delicious.

Kinka Izakaya, the Japanese bar and restaurant, delivered an unforgettable dining experience that transported me to the lively streets of Tokyo. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the energetic ambiance and the warm, inviting decor reminiscent of a traditional Japanese izakaya. The menu was a delightful journey through Japanese cuisine, featuring a wide array of small plates, skewers, and sushi. I indulged in their delectable takoyaki and the melt-in-your-mouth sashimi. The flavors were authentic and carefully crafted, showcasing the expertise of the chefs. The highlight was the beautiful presentation of each dish, a feast for both the eyes and taste buds.

The staff at Kinka Izakaya were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, providing recommendations that perfectly complemented my dining preferences. Their passion for Japanese cuisine and dedication to offering an exceptional dining experience were evident throughout the meal. The restaurant had a lively yet cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both intimate gatherings and spirited celebrations. Kinka Izakaya is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Japanese culinary adventure. I'm eager to return and explore more of their menu, experiencing the true essence of Japanese dining once again.

I'm never disappointed in the food; however, the service is the SLOWEST EVER! Although we weren't in a rush on a Wednesday evening, it was a full house. They were definitely understaffed. They welcome everyone with a pleasant greeting and bid you farewell with lively pleasantries as well.
