What Hannah Dörfelt likes about Kinyoubi Izakaya:

This charming izakaya offers an authentic Japanese aesthetic and a friendly staff. The lunch special, featuring tofu and genmaicha, was expertly cooked and presented beautifully, providing good value. The menu includes half-price specials on specific weekdays. The restaurant offers satisfying and filling dishes with generous portion sizes, like the Udon with chicken karaage and katsu don. While the taste may not be typical Japanese, it is hearty and delicious. Visitors can expect excellent food and service for both lunch and dinner, with options for vegetarians, vegans, and pescatarians. Vegan choices like fried chicken and sushi are particularly amazing. Traditional Japanese dishes, like miso hot pot, gyozu knödel, and vegan sushi, are also available. The Groupon discount made for a great dining experience, with a feast of delicious dishes like miso, agedashi tofu, and veg sushi rolls. The vegan fried chicken was a hit, along with the hot sake. Guests also enjoyed top-quality seared salmon and seared scallop nigiri. Overall, visitors can expect a wonderful dining experience at this Japanese restaurant with excellent sashimi, attentive service, and a comfortable atmosphere perfect for conversation.
