Customer Review Summary

Miso soup draws the most praise, called hot and flavourful and named the best part of one meal, while a repeat customer recommends the hibachi steak and shrimp and says the dinner menu won them over. Shrimp is the recurring complaint. Reviewers describe it as overcooked, small and rubbery across hibachi, shrimp tempura and a signature fried rice, with one saying it tasted frozen and another finding it diced instead of whole. Others call the pricing too high for table-service hibachi, and one diner's filet mignon arrived cut into small chunks. Several say the sushi rolls are tiny, and a spicy tuna roll looked like tuna paste. Service is called fast and professional by some, but a long-time customer describes a steady decline, and another notes ripped seats in the dining area. One diner who found a spicy salmon roll discoloured, with flimsy nori and a heavy fish smell, was told at the counter that the fish is changed every day.

    “very overpriced, got about 9 small overcooked shrimp in my 25$ shrimp tempura. miso soup is the smallest I've ever seen”

    “We have been coming to Kinza since it opened. It has been a steady decline over the past few years. Went last night and the spicy tuna roll looked like it had tuna paste in it. The roll was tiny and did not even have a solid piece of fish …”
  • Janice Krick
    “1/3 the size rolls should be. See photo. Roll on left is the size of a quarter. Roll on the right is slightly larger. That to-go box is only 6 inches wide (to give you prospective). …”

    “Baby wanted dinner and I said let's do dinner somewhere we have not eaten. I made a mistake 😞 choosing this establishment. The atmosphere at kinza is well designed. The service was not up standard our was a foreign national who spoke very little English. I requested a glass of water and a glass of the house Merlot wine. The wine was a complete and utter miss. I ordered the kinza house signature fried rice which would have been a simple house fried rice at any other restaurant serving Asian cuisine. The shrimp in my dish was diced up not one whole shrimp as well as overcooked. My love ordered the filet mignon with shrimp and fried rice. Her steak had been cut into little chunks resembling beef stew chunks. Her shrimp were also overcooked to the point she didn't want to eat them. She said the best part of her meal was the Miso soup 🍲. Otherwise her salad had too much salad dressing.”
