Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Clean plates and full bellies, a super tasty and intimate Japanese themed restaurant. There is a little wait but I can honestly say that it’s worth it. Every fried dish we got was super crispy and the ramen was rich and flavorful. My family tried basically everything and couldn’t get enough, especially of the Wagyu Donburi and takoyaki. Cannot recommend enough!"
"When I walked in I was already impressed by the atmosphere and clean facilities. The service was great too. Most importantly, the food quality was outstanding, I would really recommend wagyu don (medium rare)"
"Best restaurant in Ettalong! And we’ve tried them all. (Also it’s BYO, so pop into Upstairs Wine for a bottle beforehand)"
"I can see why the ratings are so high, this place is an absolute gem. The food is exceptional and I love that it’s BYO. Our favourites were the Wagyu Donburi and pork belly bao buns, honestly I haven’t had better ones anywhere. Both are must orders, so full of flavour. The pork tonkatsu and gyoza were also fantastic, and the char siu ramen was a solid 9/10. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every dollar. The high quality of ingredients and the taste of each dish was amazing. We may have over-ordered, but still managed to finish most of it (some dishes didn’t even make it to a photo before we devoured them). We were dining with our kids and they too loved it! So many kid friendly options. They too love the Wagyu donburi!"
"The food here is seriously next level! The wagyu beef donburi is the best tasting steak of any cuisine. Rest of the family rated the ramen most highly. Ettalong- and the Central Coast generally - needs restaurants like Kinji. Looking forward to many more meals here UPDATE: the pork tonkatsu rice lunch special is great value and delicious!"
"The chashu ramen was nice, but the pork was a little overcooked and a bit hard to chew. Overall though, the food was really good."
"Food was delicious. Service was amazing. Our first time here. We ordered the Takoyaki and Prawn cake bun for starters. Had the Chicken Karaage & Wagyu beef Donburi with Garlic fired rice for mains. Finished off with a serving of black sesame ice cream. Loved it all: Will definitely try more dishes next time."
"We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day’s lunch here. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. It served quickly and fresh. If you come to Ettalong beach, this is a perfect Japanese restaurant to visit"
