After reading heaps of good review about this place, i made Kinji a must-try on my list. No regrets! Singapore is not short of good quality Japanese cuisine but i must say Kinji is very unique and different from the Singapore Japanese food (in a good way).

I can see why this restaurant was rated so high, even before we opened the door the service in true Japanese style began. The food was fresh, the flavours told us that! I ate way more than I should have because it was all so good! It wasn't cheap but if it's true Japanese food you are looking for then... More

Seating is limited, and there's no bar to lean on, so we retired to The Little Brown Jug pub around the corner for a quick Tui or DB. The... More

This is an authentic Japanese experience. A cuisine that's prepared by a true Japanese, Kinji-san. In Christchurch, you have places such as Tony's that's done by a Malaysian, and the others that are done by mainland Chinese, which gave Japanese food a bad name. This place is forever busy with patrons. So, book ahead. You know that you are in... More
