Kinkaku Japanese Cafe Restaurant

Absolutely fabulous. Great value. Always fresh. Such a great find.

My wife really likes this Japanese place. We have been going here for nearly 5 years. Its a small family owned restaurant. It hasn't been updated in a long time. The family is nice and friendly. The food is fresh and tasty. For Entree's we had Takoyaki. Takoyaki is a wheat batter with octopus in it. Its sweet and kind of juicy We get this or Nasu Denggaku and that is deep fried eggplant with miso paste. Which we always enjoy. For our mains I had the beef-udon and its beef with udon noodles. Normally i get the Bento box which is really great but i thought i would try something different. It was alright. It was a big serving of soup and noodles. The noodles are always cooked perfectly, they never disintegrate and that's always a good thing. My wife had the Tempura- Udon, it is Noodle soup with vegetable tempura. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. We always like supporting the local small businesses. So we will always be back.

A real hidden gem in the area, looks can be deceiving as the shop front and interior don't look very impressive but the quality of the sashimi is truly fantastic. <br/ <br/ Ordered for takeaway and service was very slow but then we realised all the sushi and sashimi was being made fresh so it was worth the wait. The mixed pack was fantastic, particularly the California Roll and the salmon sashimi. My only criticism was that I with the fish had been colder as it was room-temperature when we ate it. But for $13, it's excellent value.<br/ <br/ Overall would highly recommend, I'd like to come back and dine-in next time.

One of the amazing Japanese restaurant. Owner is very humble and respectful, truely reflects the Japanese culture. They may not interact much but there food does the talking. Absolutely fresh, talk about the entrees or main, everything is delicious. Highly recommended.

Stopped by here for some Friday lunch to go as I work nearby.  Was surprised at first when we were told to wait 10-15 minutes but the sushi was actually being made from scratch, which I loved! It was lovely and fresh and really delicious. The portion size was great and such good value too. Would definitely recommend this place if passing by or looking for some sushi in Ormond!
