Kinjo – Japanese
Kinjo pulses with a vibrant energy where the bold, cross-cultural flavors of the Pacific Rim collide in a celebration of modern Asian soul food. Guests are treated to a sensory feast ranging from the delicate citrus of ahi with ponzu and jewel-toned tuna poke to the indulgent sizzle of Japanese garlic ribeye and golden, crispy Korean fried chicken. It is a place where the crunch of fresh lettuce wraps and the pillowy softness of steamed bao buns create a playful, high-energy dining experience that lingers long after the last bite.
