The food was AMAZING, service really friendly and ready to answer any questions. Location a bit small but really characteristic! Special mention to Maria, that helped us choosing the best meals and drinks for our need and always ready to fulfils our request.
Cumulatively, my experience as a customer was awful. They were obviously busy, but after a few minutes at the door I stepped inside to make myself more visible - and was still ignored. No “Sorry, I’ll be with you in a few moments.” No “Take a seat at the bar while I clear a table.” I ended up asking to sit at the bar while I waited. It took a full hour for a small plate of karaage chicken to arrive. No one checked in at any stage, even as the restaurant cleared. Again, I had to interrupt someone and remind them of the order. It seems they’d forgotten. The staff apologised sincerely, but there was no attempt to compensate for the extreme delay (e.g. with a free drink or side dish, or even a future discount voucher). Any of these gestures would have lessened the sting of feeling forgotten. The karaage chicken was delicious - but perhaps that was just because I was famished by the time it finally arrived. As good as it was, it’s not worth $29 full price for the portion size (they offer half price on Tuesdays). Look, maybe I just got a bad day. But I’m hardly inclined to try again. I’d recommend to staff to acknowledge waiting customers immediately. Further, for extreme cases of inconvenience (e.g. delayed food), offer compensation and not just apologies. Finally, regularly check in with customers. Any one of these actions could have significantly improved the experience.
Just had a great meal here. The sashimi platter was fresh & generous. The duck rolls were my favourite. Everyone enjoyed the karage chicken and the sushi. Loved the sake flight. I always enjoy the corn. The cocktails were also enjoyable. We would def return and def recommend
Absolutely amazing food, we loved coming here for date night. The staff were so lovely and attentive. Drinks and food were unlike anywhere else we’ve been. Most definetly will be coming back
I was in Burleigh today and after a bit of shopping, made an impromptu visit to Kin after following on Instagram for some time now. My husband wanted to try their Kin Beer and we were up for some tasty morsels. We parked ourselves in the window seat to do some people watching and quickly and efficiently were served a Kin Beer and glass of wine. We ordered a plate of kingfish sashimi and the tempura bugs to share. 1. Kingfish - was generous and served with fresh wasabi and ginger 2. Tempura Bugs - were divine. Fresh, light batter encasing gorgeous tender bugs and accompanied with a delicious dipping sauce and side of dressed greens. Service was friendly and efficient also. We’ll be back 🥢 🍣😍
