Kinjo
“Chef Jeff not only is a master in creation of fusion dishes, he mesmerizes you in the presentation and combinations!”
“On a very cold night, venture into Kinjo and have the vegetarian ramen; ramen-o-philes will tell you this is no Chuko.”
“I felt guilty accepting such a generous offer, but didn't regret enjoying the beer, sushi, kimchi tater tots, fried rice, and baby octopus.”

Great dinner spot with a chill ambience and good service. I stopped here after going to a dance class at the Mark Morris Dance Center in the neighborhood and we were starving for a good meal. We had the edamame to start and split three rolls.y favorite was the hamachi jalapeño roll. It was beautifully prepared and the jalapeño added the perfect spice and flavoring. I also got a draft Sapporo to go with my dinner for only $4 on a Friday night. I'd go again to try more of their entree menu and even brunch. Highly recommend!
Another great experience at Kinjo.
From the very first time I walked into this restaurant, the food has always been Fresh and Fast; nothing disturbs me more than having to wait extra long for flat, flairless food.
Again, top notch service; we even lucked out with a Yelp Bonus for our check in and got an order of Free Edamame! The vibe consistent with my previous visits.
See you soon, Kinjo!
Came here for dinner with a friend on a weekday
Pros:
– The broth for the ramen was really good – would recommend, however, I wish the broth wasn't so lukewarm
– The chicken wings and seaweed salad were also great (loved how the seaweed salad was a bit hot)
– Really like the ambiance – great place to catch up with a friend
Cons:
– Not the biggest fan of the bento box – the noodles were too salty, the sushi wasn't great – you're better off just ordering a sashimi/sushi dish
They made us ramen burgers! no beef patty, thick bacon strips but still incredible. First time I had a ramen burger and I now I'm thinking about where I can get one in DC. The owner was very friendly and we chatted about his business and his staff, he kept us entertained while we ate at the bar. Thanks Dan you rock!
Kinjo is really solid choice for Japanese food around Fort Greene. First, let's start with the drinks: not only does Kinjo have a great selection of cocktails, but they also have several Japanese beers and (my favorite) canned sakes. Sharp and crisp, the sakes go great with the sushi and sashimi. (Big ups to the "panda cup" sake with a neat kitschy glass you can take home!)
The food was very tasty, if not groundbreaking. I stuck with the sushi plate which featured the chef's choice of the best cuts of fish from the day, along with a California roll and a salad. Fresh and well-made. The soy ginger chicken wings, however, were really out of this world. The wings were crispy on the outside, and nice and juicy on the inside. Just the way I like my wings! Better yet, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is both sweet and knowledgable. I certainly recommend Kinjo for a date or a nice meal with friends.
Kinjo is where you go with a bunch of indecisive friends. It has something for everyone, and everything is surprisingly good. I'm usually apprehensive about restaurants that serve multiple cuisines ("fusion" often implies that it's not a master of either cuisine), but Kinjo does it well. They have both Korean and Japanese-inspired dishes, like Korean-fried wings, Korean fried rice, sushi rolls, ramen.
The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, plus they have a great happy hour deal. The pork belly and kimchi appetizer is so good and fatty. I've gotten it twice now. On cold and rainy nights, Kinjo's ramen hits the spot. While it doesn't stack up to Chuko's in depth or flavor, it's satisfying enough: the broth is light and they are generous with the toppings (eggs, bamboo shoots, pork belly, bacon, etc.). My boyfriend was pleased with his beef sukiyaki, and the portion was huge.
Best of all, it's never too crowded and is fairly easy to book via OpenTable. I'm glad it's in the area!
After a long day post-watching a powerlifting meet, we were in search for an affordable yet delicious restaurant and I saw how many great reviews this place had so we stopped by.
Curry katsu: 4/5 – I really enjoyed this but the serving size was kinda small especially for the price but that's NY for ya.
Kinjo Ramen: 4/5 – BF really liked it and he's not a ramen fan either!
I loved the free edamame for checking in and it's not just 1 for every table either!
Our server was awesome! Don't think I'd come back here just because I think we can get better bang for our buck in NYC.
Meagan was so sweet! I must say, they were definitely a little short staffed but the happy hour specials made up for it.
We had several rolls, kimchi fried rice with bacon, brussel sprouts and about 14 rounds of sake.
The $5 sakes were a great deal. We also got the free edamame and gyoza to start. Overall, my favorite was the dragon roll and the kimchi fried rice. It was a really good sized portion and tasted delicious! I would definitely recommend this spot to grab a bite before heading to Barclays.
