Ken's Kissa

I have been here countless times, and every single time is just as good as the last time! Ken's Kissa NEVER disappoints! You can really taste the care, love and dedication that they put into their food, every dish is carefully put together and perfectly balanced. The price? There is something for all price ranges and budgets, and I personally think that even the "expensive" things are worth what you're paying for. Lastly, other than praising the food, I want to say that the staff is always kind and polite, they always greet you with a genuine smile that makes me feel warm and welcomed! I love this place, and I will continue to come and support this amazing business 🫶🏻🥰

Delicious, will return. Great presentation. Tiny casual japanese restaurant, affordable place. Great for lunch etc. only had limited tables and seating.

Tasty, fresh, and well made Japanese food with great service. We went here around a month ago and had a pleasant experience. We got the hitsumabushi ($39.50). It was a little pricey but the meal was great. The eel was soft, buttery and coated in a nice sweet/salty glaze. All sides which came with the meal, complemented the eel well. 4.5-5/5. My favourite dish was the kaarage nanban ($23.50). The chicken was tender and juicy, while maintaining a decent crisp coating. The vinegar glaze had a nice tanginess to it, and the tartare sauce was creamy. All together, it provided a very flavourful experience. The sides were also great. 5/5. We also ordered the hot salmon ochazuke ($27). This dish was pretty good. The salmon pieces were tender, the toasted rice crackers provided a nice nutty flavour and crunchy texture, and the vegetables were fresh. This was bonded well together with the rice and the ginger dashi broth, which was savoury and peppery. 4-4.5/5. We also got the teriyaki salmon ($20.50). There was nothing special to write about it, but it was well made. The salmon pieces were soft, and coated in a respectable sweet/salty glaze. 4/5. Service was also very friendly and helpful. Weekends are very busy here. We had to wait for a table for a bit under an hour. Overall, well made Japanese food which was consistent.

The food is fresh and delicious, and the onigiri balls are a must try. I also loved their matcha muffin, not too sweet. The pastries are surprisingly good for such a small spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the service is quick. Perfect place for a bite or a light snack.

We visited as a pair, and the food was absolutely delicious! The portions were very generous—so much that we couldn’t finish all the rice. My apologies for that. Still, the presentation, taste, and service were all excellent. The only reason I gave one point less is because of the location—it’s right in front of the busy Military Road—and the shop itself is quite small, so the atmosphere is a little affected. But of course, that’s not the restaurant’s fault. I will definitely come back again By the way , coffee was great too!
