Absolutely fabulous. Great value. Always fresh. Such a great find.
My wife really likes this Japanese place. We have been going here for nearly 5 years. Its a small family owned restaurant. It hasn't been updated in a long time. The family is nice and friendly. The food is fresh and tasty. For Entree's we had Takoyaki. Takoyaki is a wheat batter with octopus in it. Its sweet and kind of juicy We get this or Nasu Denggaku and that is deep fried eggplant with miso paste. Which we always enjoy. For our mains I had the beef-udon and its beef with udon noodles. Normally i get the Bento box which is really great but i thought i would try something different. It was alright. It was a big serving of soup and noodles. The noodles are always cooked perfectly, they never disintegrate and that's always a good thing. My wife had the Tempura- Udon, it is Noodle soup with vegetable tempura. She seemed to enjoy it a lot. We always like supporting the local small businesses. So we will always be back.
All the food tonight was fresh and delicious! Portion sizes good and pricing very reasonable. Worth the drive from Cheltenham, we will be back!
Stopped by here for some Friday lunch to go as I work nearby. Was surprised at first when we were told to wait 10-15 minutes but the sushi was actually being made from scratch, which I loved! It was lovely and fresh and really delicious. The portion size was great and such good value too. Would definitely recommend this place if passing by or looking for some sushi in Ormond!
A real hidden gem in the area, looks can be deceiving as the shop front and interior don't look very impressive but the quality of the sashimi is truly fantastic.
Ordered for takeaway and service was very slow but then we realised all the sushi and sashimi was being made fresh so it was worth the wait. The mixed pack was fantastic, particularly the California Roll and the salmon sashimi. My only criticism was that I with the fish had been colder as it was room-temperature when we ate it. But for $13, it's excellent value.
Overall would highly recommend, I'd like to come back and dine-in next time.
4.0 - Found this restaurant where is located nearby my place, I have made a takeaway orders which are Vegetable Tempura Udon, Chicken Udon and Agadeshi Tofu from Kinkaku for dinner in the cold weather. Fortunately, all food was good, just a little bit disappointed that the vegetables tempura udon does not have eggplant which is usually common to see that. Will come back to make other orders next time! 👍
Order whatever you want, it's all good! I'm a massive fan of the agedashi tofu, the okonomiyaki, the avocado hosomaki and the crab croquettes, for reasons I don't have the requisite culinary expertise to describe. The food is served quickly, is consistently beautiful and delicious, and is extremely affordable. The sushi is prepared in front of the entire restaurant at a small bench just behind the counter, and its all very theatrical for an otherwise very unassuming setting. Sandwiched between a nail salon and a milk bar in a small strip of shops just metres from the main Ormond business district, Kinkaku is a real "blink and you'll miss it" sort of place, which is very sad, because they do good business as is, and they'd be booming if they were a little better locatex.
My recommendation would be to go out of your way to visit Kinkaku if you're in or around the area and after good quality Japanese food.
Great gem of a restaurant that I wish I had known about sooner! Although small this place serves delicious, good quality food at a very cheap price. The sashimi was all very fresh and tasty. I think we got the larger size. Mixed Sashimi For mains, E gobbled up his Tonkatsu dish pretty quickly - it must have been really good! Had the vege bento box, which was large n contained some agedashi tofu and croquette cooked to perfection. Will def be back to sample more! Friendly service too
4.5.
A really lovely, quiet, tasty, cheap Japanese joint. Great soups, pancakes and curries. Only qualm is they sometimes inconsistent with the number and types of vegetables served in their dishes, plus some of their dishes labelled as Vegeterian actually contain seafood.
Lovely cosy place, not a fancy pants restaurant but who needs that when the food is hearty and tastes great and at a good price. Will definitely be back soon for some more!
One of the amazing Japanese restaurant. Owner is very humble and respectful, truely reflects the Japanese culture. They may not interact much but there food does the talking. Absolutely fresh, talk about the entrees or main, everything is delicious. Highly recommended.
Good Menu with good variety. Food was fresh, Service was also good.
Our family really enjoyed our spontaneous dinner at Kinkaku, this evening. The couple were absolutely lovely and they took care with our order and food preparation. Wide variety on the menu and good prices.
Traditional high quality Japanese, serve time is slow however and temperament on phone can come across as rude
We took the kids here for a delicious dinner. Ramen was outstanding. Bento Box was well presented and very tasty. So many wonderful gyoza, sushi and fried chicken dishes. Will definitely be making this a regular.
