Kingyo Vancouver Reviews
This place was outstanding.
Food was delicious, service was great and will definitely go back. Being from SoCal in the US, I was not expecting such good food.
Very nice upscale japanese restaurant.
The service is very good. Servers explain the dishes as they come out. Wagyu beef was very rich. The bluefin tartar was a bit on the saltier side. It's good but a few bites was enough for me. The beef tongue is good. Nothing special alone, but

Parking: Paid street parking available right in front of the restaurant. Meat: Wagyu Carpaccio was very tender and great flavors, sauce, and curated garnishes. It came with 5 thin slices. Stone-grilled North American Wagyu Beef was excellent. It
An oldie which I haven't returned to over 4 years.
Their reservations are well booked, so forget about just dropping by. I don't recognize their menu, they must have updated it during my absence. Kingyo is a tapas joint which ideally cater to heavy drinking rowdy crowds but instead we got

This spot was amazing as we were stumbling upon a good sushi spot. We came in from Seattle and Houston and enjoy sushi.

This place was popular online and I saw how many reviews it had, so decided to stop by! There was a 50 minute wait for dinner, so we put down our name and just wandered around in the area until they called us. This was lowkey our dinner part. 2 afte

I only had a day to spend in Vancouver and just got done e-biking in Stanley park. I originally debated to go to Miku or Minami, but they required reservations at least a day in advanced, so I called this place and they took me in immediately, and it
We had such a fun time at Kingyo.
The staff were warm and attentive. Every dish we tried was fresh and beautifully put together. The hot stone beef was definitely the highlight and it's a fun interactive way to cook the meat. It was tender, and rich.
The sushi was amazing.
Really a different level of sushi. We also liked the beef with rice. Service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered a sashimi special at lunch and it was the best we had in recent years.

Tried different things here including the pictured combo, but my favorites were the salmon, toro, and hamachi! Super fresh fish, can taste the quality melt in your mouth.

We ordered the Bento, its most popular offering which gives you an appetizer option, a main option and 12 little vessels each filled with an assortment of side dishes. They recommend that Bentos are ordered by phone ahead of time by phone, because th

The brussel sprouts karaage was good, but I wished that it had more of unique flavor. The seafood bibimbap bowl was really flavorful, especially the egg. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this dish. The lotus root agedashi was very unique. I li

Food is always really good at kingyo, albeit small portion sizes. Each dish is made to share, so please go with friends and family! Service is very attentive to and requests you have.
great place for good unique japanese food.
love the service and vibe here. prices were not through the roof. its good when you are in the downtown area
I honestly don't understand the hype with this place.
It was one of the worst meals/experiences we've had in Vancouver and we've been here for a month. My husband found this place based on reviews. We had a reservation but upon arrival the entry was so crowded (nowhere to check in), we had to
Amazing salads
Tripadvisor led us to this Vancouver gem. After a morning walk to Stanley Park we were looking for something nearby for lunch. The restaurant was packed — a great sign! The reviews were so well deserved. Everything that came out of the kitchen was
Wide ranging menu. Good service. Crazy popular.
Located in an interesting, but small space with what looks like reclaimed wood, what I found interesting was how wide their menu is. It is not simple to have good examples of Japanese cuisine in its many forms. Just because your grilled items are goo
Famous invincibled and undefeated tan-tan noodle
We can't recommend this Japanese restaurant enough! We arrived late on a Monday evening but the staff greeted us very welcomingly and the food was great - 'our famous invincible and undefeated tan-tan noodle' and 'uni miso udon�
Best lunch ever
My 13 year old son's one goal was to have sushi while we were staying in Vancouver and after some research we decided on Kingyo and I'm glad we did. This was our favorite meal while we were in Vancouver and to be honest one of the most fun
The best Japanese in town
It's a great place! Fish is as fresh as it can be. We were a party of 12. All ate excellent! Service was extraordinary also. We will definitely be back next time in Vancouver
Not so hidden gem.
This unassuming Japanese restaurant far exceeded my expectations. We were greeted by all front staff in a typical Japanese fashion, once we were seated we were provided with the menu and a little explanation of the menu. We ordered brown rice green
^^^ Wonderful Bento Box ^^^
It is been a while since I saw my great friend from West End , we both decided to have X'mas lunch together at Kingyo , her flavor place , we were 10 mins early before the restaurant open , they only take walk in only ,there is already 10
Very good food and service!!
Reservations are very much recommended. It's been a while since I've seen a line up for a restaurant to open. The decor and atmosphere is pleasant and the server was very nice. The food was very good indeed. I will be back, and recommen
Good, not great.
Dropped in just after opening on a weekday and the place was already filling up. Started with the tofu appetizer which was super flavorful. The balance of the tofu, seaweed and mushrooms was perfect. Next went with the pressed ahi sushi. While the
Connect with users posting reservations for Kingyo Vancouver
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kingyo Vancouver. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kingyo Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kingyo Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Kingyo Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kingyo Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
