Kinjo

“Kinjo, you guys were absolutely fantastic. The plates, the presentation, and the service, phenomenal. Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised, knowing that Chef Eric and his team responsible for Koya are also behind Kinjo. 10/10. My brother and I feel very blessed to have experienced a wonderful meal here, and we appreciate the teams at both Kinjo and Koya coming by, to share their passions. I'll be looking forward to bringing my spouse/rest of my family, so they can also share in an excellent experience.”

“I came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary. We had Byron as our server and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the chefs, the food concept, and provided excellent recommendations. Considering this was our first time here and on a special occasion, we appreciated the complimentary drinks and the card signed by staff. :) The restaurant itself was cozy and intimate. We loved the option to sit at the chefs table or a regular dining table. We ordered the bread service, wagyu carpaccio, the spicy pappardelle pasta, and the Japanese curry bolognese. The dishes were presented and explained beautifully. You could really taste each ingredient listed for each menu item. The price was worth it for a special occasion and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our night special!”

“Took my wife here for our anniversary and honestly it’s one of those meals you talk about for months. Dish after dish, we just kept looking at each other like — how did we not know about this place? Chef Jada has a real gift for putting flavors together that you didn’t know you were missing until they hit your palate. It’s hard to explain without just telling someone to go experience it. The chef’s counter is where you want to be, it’s intimate, it feels personal, and you leave feeling like you actually got invited into something special, not just fed. If you’re anywhere near Tampa and you care about food, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. Your taste buds won’t be the same after.”

“So pumped this is in Tampa now - a refreshing new blend of exciting flavors and innovative combinations. Chef has over delivered, can’t wait to come back and see the next season’s menu! Started with a drool worthy bread service and nice Asian tea. Wine offerings were decent though pricey for what they were. Carpaccio was stellar, literally the best I’ve had in a long time. Chawanmushi was unique and packed with flavor. Pastas were perfectly made, excellent layers of flavor and the cappelletti with the pickled radish was just magical.”

“We ordered the set menu, and my father-in-law brought his own wine. Overall, the food was absolutely delicious, the desserts were unique and memorable, and the service was very good as well. I hope this restaurant continues to grow and keep up the great work.”
