We came here as a party of four for dinner on a Friday night. I have mixed feelings about this place.
Firstly the positive. Very friendly service, both when I made the reservation over the phone and when entering the restaurant. Love the warm and inviting ambience. It felt very inviting the moment we walked through the door. The staff were very attentive (wasn’t overly busy then) so our order was underway pretty fast. The izakaya / tapas dishes came out in no time, as you’d expect. Taste-wise it ticked all the boxes, especially some of the non-traditional ones like the sake clams. In fact the thought of something non-traditional really excited.
However the underwhelming experience was the serving size didn’t seem to reflect the price, e.g. $12 for 5 takoyaki balls. I think there were general consensus around the table that we may need to order more and this was right when the first dishes arrived. Normally we’d make that call halfway through but perhaps we were a hungry lot that night. The rest of our orders were the mains and sushi rolls. Those took a while to get there, but nonetheless to me it was a non-issue. We still enjoyed the night.
All in all, service, taste and ambience it was really good. Was it expensive? That’s all relative – I believe the ultimate satisfaction test is you know you’ve gotten what you paid for and in this instance, Kinyoubi didn’t deliver.
We came here for dinner on a weeknight and were disappointed. The place was not busy but we still had to wait quite a while for our food. We ordered the Apple Scotch Fillet and Beef Udon and they were both unappetizing. The soup was coated in chilli oil which made it cloying. I did not enjoy the food at all. To make things worse, we ordered whiskey and plum wine as they were half price but the amount of alcohol that was poured into the glasses were miserable. We will not be returning. The prices did not match the food quality.
Good! The staff are very friendly and attentive and greet you warmly upon entering. The food was all fresh and flavoursome. The sushi is really good here plus they have a wide selection for vegetarians which is great! The pricing is fairly moderate.
