Customer Review Summary
Overcooked shrimp is the complaint that surfaces again and again, described in hibachi orders, shrimp tempura, and fried rice dishes as small, rubbery, or bland. Close behind, several reviewers report a decline in sushi quality, with the spicy tuna roll and spicy salmon roll singled out for undersized portions, discolored or off smelling fish, and one diner who says they alerted the counter staff before eating it anyway. One reviewer separately describes getting food poisoning after a hibachi meal. On the positive side, a repeat customer highlights fast, professional service and recommends the Hibachi Steak and Shrimp, and another calls the miso soup hot and flavorful even amid an otherwise poor visit. A few reviews note good food and service on first visits, though one mentions ripped seats and worn furniture in the dining area. Long-time patrons describe the restaurant as having steadily declined over the years compared to when it first opened.

“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.”
