KinKan LA Los Angeles Reviews
Came for crab night Sun~ Chef Nan's creation of crab dishes
Came for crab night Sun~ Chef Nan's creation of crab dishes with the Japanese/Thai flavor was phenomenal. Each dish was uniquely presented and quality of seafood was amazing. Paired well with the chablis, will try with sake pairing next time.

Phenomenal! Dinner here was amazing last year when I first visited, so came back to try out the new kaiseki style menu. It was even better. The fresh and high end ingredients are common to fine dining, but Chef Nan's creativity in blending
Kinkan in Virgil Village is such a special spot.
I went for the omakase dinner and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Chef Nan makes the whole night so enjoyable--she's fun, down-to-earth, and you can really feel her passion behind each dish. The quality here is on another l

I had Kinkan La bookmarked for over a year, and finally made it there for a Sunday brunch omakase with my boyfriend--and let me tell you, it absolutely lived up to the wait. This place is Thai-Japanese fusion done at a whole different level. We did
Dining at Kinkan is a delight.
A meal both visually appealing and palate-pleasing. Chef Nan meticulously prepares each dish. The food presentation is beautiful and further enhanced by the exquisite tableware. The seasonal cuisine is creative and bursting with flavor. I love the sa

The food was fantastic, the sake pairings were great, but what made KinKan stand out was the service! So friendly, so personable. I felt like I knew them (including Chef Nan, who created the five star menu) by the time the meal was over. I also rea
Kinkan LA is something truly special.
A beautiful fusion of Japanese kaiseki elegance with bold, unexpected Thai flavors. it's a dining experience that feels both refined and adventurous. Every course was thoughtfully crafted, from the delicate sashimi to the playful reinterpretati
Perfect Birthday Dinner with Family
We celebrated my birthday here yesterday with my wife and our 2-year-old, and it was everything I hoped for. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, the food was incredible, and the service made us feel truly welcome—even with a toddler in tow. Every
Long wait and cold steak
Wait time between app and main was unusually long. When waiter placed steak down in front of me, he said “be careful, the plate is very hot.” What a joke. The platter was stone cold and the steak was room temp at best. Clearly he had failed to pi

food is not bad and dishes are very creative however for the price, there are not enough dishes comparing to other tasting menus in LA. Spring menu dishes- some were a hit and some were a miss

One of our favorite prefix dinners ! This was a Japanese style dinner paired with elevated Thai flavors. The chef was so sweet and was very present the entire dinner with guests. Ambiance is cozy. They change their menu so we look forward to coming
Best brunch in town
We have lived in L.A. for 20 years - best brunch ever. Not cheap, expect to spend a lot of money - but our Sunday brunch today was pure magic. Great music (Live DJ), the best service, amazing food, Bloody Mary's to die for, Champagne Cart we tri
Come for the Bloody Mary Bar and Scene
Baltaire has a wonderful scene for brunch with champagne bottle popping and a DJ spinning in the middle to keep the energy buzzing. Once seated we were greeted by 3 waiters separately which felt disjointed but the service did improve as our time pr
Great Steakhouse
Excellent steak and other food at this Brentwood steakhouse. The grilled artichoke was great as was the bread, burrata, and Caesar salad. The steak sauces were also great.
Classy steakhouse
Classy steakhouse with steak that has been listed as some of the best in LA. Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening with the fam and it was a lovely meal. Valet parking available for lunch at $12 and dinner for $14, otherwise, metered street parkin

Kinkan had been on my list for a while, and I finally got to experience this Thai-Japanese fusion omakase style dinner for our anniversary. We made a reservation for Saturday at 8 pm and were seated immediately upon arrival. We chose bar seating to w
Went to Thai omakase in Silver Lake on Saturday.
The restaurant focuses on Thai food and Japanese fusion, such as sashimi and chawanmushi form above the presentation of strong Thai flavours! The three of us started eating at 5pm and finished at 7:30pm, the counter was full but we were the only ones
Perfect
Gorgeous dinner at Baltaire. The meat was perfect (taste and cook). Amazing selection of wines from all over the world. Sure you will fine the good wine for your donner there.
Excellent expérience at Baltaire’s: meat, wine, service, all was perfect
Excellent experience at Baltairés it's rare to have meat that arrives hot, even simmering, and so good. The desserts were succulent, with a special mention for the "BUTTERSCOTCH POT DE CRÈME", which was Jimmy. The wine selection is fant
My favorite restaurant in LA.
The food is as special as the chef herself. I want to visit more often because the pandemic did a number on her business, but my wallet says otherwise. That said, I will always come back on special occasions!
Most underrated restaurant in LA.
The menu is always changing so, if you can afford it, you can go monthly. It's good it's not packed with hip foodies but I want this place to be recognized as every bit as good as N Naka or Hayato.
Never disapppoints!
This is our favorite places for dinner in Brentwood. Our server (Kynnedy D--our favorite) was attentive and humorous. The food was delicious as always: one petite filet mignon, one filet trio, and one Boston Bibb salad. We loved our wine--Chateau
I don't say this lightly but this might be the best meal
I don't say this lightly but this might be the best meal I've had in LA. Every course was so flavorful. The crab and the smoky abalone were real highlights. The sake/wine pairings were generous and perfectly matched each dish. We'll almost certainly
Baltaire
Baltaire was the site of our most recent bros dinner. Nothing like a good bros dinner. As Michael Scott once said, "Bros before hos. Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for n
Never disapppoints!
My wife and I treated a friend to dinner here. Our server (Jonas A.) was attentive and humorous. The food was delicious as always: two petite filet Mignon, Maine Diver Scallops, jumbo asparagus, hand-cut fried, and Beignets for dessert. The ambian
Chef Nan blew us away again.
Back after 2 years and the food did not disappoint. The food was so flavorful. Service was so attentive. The chef was so engaging and the staff extremely knowledgeable. My stomach is happy and full.
Save you sanity
Arrived on time for our reservation. Were made to wait 35 min in the extremely loud and full bar that had live music reminiscent of a bad 80s cruise ship band. Nobody could hear themselves think as people who arrived for later reservations were sat b
Familiar dishes, yet somehow delightfully reinvented.
At first glance, you might see the list of traditional Thai dishes on the menu, but you'll quickly discover that each has some sort of spin to it. Hard to describe, like an unexpected ingredient here or there, or a different way to prepare a salad.
Try a fixed menu at the bar.
The chef is wonderful, creative and playful. She takes you on a tour of her favorite spots with plays on Japanese and Thai foods fused with influences from her experiences in Mexico, the UK and Spain. Absolute delight.

This was a really special experience! My husband and I had the smaller tasting menu (which was actually extremely filling) which was compromised of 4 savory dishes + dessert from around the world (but each with some thai influence.) My favorite was
Incredible, creative and beautiful food and a really fun
Incredible, creative and beautiful food and a really fun time rarely go together, but with chef Nan Yimcharoen you get both! Sit at the chef's counter to have the chance to hang with the most laid back, friendly and FUN serious chef who is clearly ha
I've only had a few food-gasms - this was one.
One of my 3 top dining experiences in Los Angeles. It's a delightful and heady experience, without being pretentious, as the prix-fix menu worked its way down south Asia. I won't pretend to critique each dish, but say there was not one dish that didn

Horrible food and service. Go somewhere else.
Don’t quite understand where the good reviews come from… The Food is very very MEDIOCRE to be nice. Salmon crispy rice, rice was super hard, lobster Mac and cheese was very bland, we had to dip it in our sauce to give little more flavor. Branzin
Local Gem/World class amazing restaurant!
I had very low expections- this is popular place and it was a Saturday evening- surely very crowded. Well- i stand corrected. Meredith , manager I think, was wonderful. She helped our group seat ourselves together at bar seating for my friend‘s

Amazing service at the counter where is chef? Nan speaks to you about the dishes. All the dishes were tasty, and I felt that I had more than enough to fill myself just right nondescript entrance. The inside is cozy, but unusual Christmas lights hangi
Sorry, all.
As lovely as the staff at KinKan is, and as warm as the space aspires to be--and as caught up in momentary delusions as some of the reviewers on here seem to be--KinKan was a disaster from a culinary perspective, at least on the night we went (a Thai

Kinkan never disappoints!! I went to her when she was still having dinners at her home and had ordered bentos boxes during the pandemic. Was so happy to finally get a chance to make it to her brick and mortar. I had the crab tasting menu and boy was
Interesting experience at KinKan, enjoyed on a food tour
Interesting experience at KinKan, enjoyed on a food tour around Thailand through the Sun Moon Shine Menu. The dishes were good but honestly not memorable. I understand that it's a Thai Inspired Omakase menu, but the portions were way too small. For t
Spectacular service
The food is exceptional, but great food is nothing without great service. This spot certainly does provide excellent service. The meats are well chosen and well-prepared, and the wine list is impressive.

We weren't really sure what to expect from their "A la carte before dark" menu, but was pleasantly surprised by the variety there. I was also a little apprehensive since they seem to do primarily omakase meals, and we have 3 young children.
Best meal of 2022.
Chef Nan is magnanimous! Amazing staff and outstanding food. The entire tasting menu was beautifully crafted and blends together in perfect harmony. Chef Nan's "bus tour" of the cuisine of Thailand demands the highest praise. I wanted more
We went for Sun Moon Shine dinner.

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

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 KinKan LA Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the KinKan LA Los Angeles 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
* MaternalRecord73, 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.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at KinKan LA Los Angeles 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 KinKan LA Los Angeles!
* 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.
