Hello there! Welcome to the first BECCABITE (;
Kinkaku Izakaya
217 King Street West Kitchener, Ontario N2G 1B1
Overall Rating: 6 out of a 6 piece maki roll
Today I will finally be sharing with you a must-visit restaurant to go to for ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi in the Waterloo area. I was hesitant at first (as my roommate recommended this place) to think that this sushi restaurant would be worth a 20/25 min bus ride. However, after going there the first time, the second time and the third, fourth time.. it honestly beats all the rest in the area. Yes, Kinkaku Izakaya is the place! Located in front of the Kitchener City Hall, and a few minutes walk from the Charles Street Terminal. Their price is roughly $1 more than their competitors but TRUST it is well worth whatever you will be eating!
I really wanted to show you some of their yummy dishes, however, my pictures will definitely not do it justice and could possibly just disgust you so I would really recommend you to just go there and see it for yourself. If you can book a table ahead of time, please try to because wait time could be roughly 1hr+. On the other hand, you also only have an hour and forty five minutes to dine. The lighting is pretty dim inside, but the servers are rockets! They move pretty quickly to serve you your food, clear away your empty dishes and take your order too.
A few items that you should definetely try would be their Takoyaki, Ebimayo, Beef Roll with Enoki Mushroom, Karaage (FRIED BONELESS CHICKEN PIECES PEOPLE), their Beef Teriyaki (WHICH COMES ON A SIZZLING PLATTER TYPE OF THING) and of course their Coconut ice-cream. What I really like about this place is that their dishes actually arrive hot and not warm, so it feels like they really just cooked it then and there + no other restaurants nearby offer those type of items. Do you see why that $1 extra is worth it now? Then of course, their sushi is no where below par as they don't use too much rice and just enough of whatever the filling is.
I have only went there for lunch and have yet to try their dinner menu. Which features some pretty enticing dishes that I want to try... like DEEP FRIED MARS BAR is on that menu! So all and all, the next time you want to go out for ayce sushi you should really consider Kinkaku Izakaya.
Thank you for reading yet another post!
Until next time,
Becca
