Reviews for Kinjo Kitchen + Cocktails in Macon, GA
Keep her early for lunch and was greated nicely. Ordered the prime rib ramen with all the fixings. They also mixed me a great... Irish Mule. The best part was the waiter that gave me recommendations for things to do in Macon after. I went to all the spotsand had a blast. Will come back for the late night drinks! Read more
Had tried several times to dine here. They seem to have lots of private parties where they close the restaurant to the public. ... Finally got in. Not a huge menu, but they do well with the items they have. Ramen was very good. You can build your own orchoose a house made one. Prices are kind of high. Zues was nice, he was our server. Read more
Edit: restaurant leadership reached out promptly to explore our experience and continued to follow-up. A refund has been... offered. Rating increased to 4 based upon the response of leadership. Odd dinner, although somewhat yummy. Stopped in for whatwe hoped would be a nice dinner, it might have been if the server wasn’t simply annoyed by our sheer presence. The managereven openly rolled his eyes at our teenagers when they asked for drink refills. The smoked tuna appetizer tasted like they madeit from canned tuna, do not recommend! The potstickers were nice! Although the filling wasn’t any different than your randomChinese take-out restaurant. For kiddos would recommend the grilled chicken and rice over the fried chicken, it came outdripping with grease and obviously old grease by the way it stunk!!! The curried chicken ramen was the blandest curry I’veever had, would not recommend! The lamb chops were sooooooo over cooked they remained untouched on our table. The Dan Dan wasthe only saving grace of the meal, it was divine!!!!! However I should note when order as “Dan Dan” and not the correctpronunciation of “Don Don” the waitress took great pleasure in very loudly correcting my guest, made it super awkward at thetable. For reference we came in on a Friday night at 5:30pm, with a reservation. It wasn’t busy but we were certainly aninconvenience. Read more
Kinjo had been on my list for a while. We finally made it this past Saturday and it did not disappoint. The food was great and... enjoyed by the whole group, including the kids. I had the Duck Confit ( pictured ) and I definitely recommend trying it unlessyou are going with the ramen. Great service as well. Read more
Amazing atmosphere and food with very friendly service. The Dan Dan entree was phenomenal, and their house made iced green tea... sweetened with honey was a perfect match. Highly recommend! Read more
TLDR: The Tonkotsu Ramen was the most disappointing aspect of the entire meal. The scallops on top of the grits with the sauces... on the side were pretty okay, except for whatever was making it taste sweet. The buns were "ok". The cocktail was expensive forthe little bit I got. The entire point of me and my wife coming here was for the ramen. Usually, we would drive the 2 hoursfrom Warner Robins to Atlanta, just for the food. Unfortunately, we will have to keep making that drive. I was hoping thatKinjo's Kitchen would help eliminate that drive. Why I Disliked The Ramen: To start, the broth tasted like water, oil, lots ofsalt and nothing else. There was little to no flavor. Furthermore, the meat looked more like pulled pork (it was actually duckmeat). I didn't mind the pickled onions and everything else added to the ramen. I'm just very, very disappointed that the baseof the ramen was THAT bad. It was like drinking gourmet salt water. The eggs were okay. The noodles were pretty good; they werespringy and firm. I was hoping for a broth that was drinkable, to the point where I could empty the entire bowl. I left prettydisappointed. If Kinjo fixes how the broth, then I could possibly recommend and keep coming back. The Scallops: This wasprobably the best thing I ate here. The only problem I had with it was the sweet-tasting flavor profile I kept getting from it.The (3) scallops are served on top of grits with a green and red sauce on the sides. There are also bits of onion and red bellpepper (?) on top of the scallops. I usually don't eat grits, but this dish was actually pretty good, besides the sweet taste Ikept getting. The Bao: The buns were made with duck meat and not pork meat. While this in itself is not an issue, the ducktasted pretty bland. It's like all they did was lightly season the duck meat and didn't use any type of marinade or sauce. Toadd on, I mostly tasted the pickled onions and scallions that were on top of the bun. The flavor of the Read more
Great experience here with excellent service. Food creativity was on point and the appetizers were good. The ramen was... excellent…initially. As it cooled so did the appeal so eat quickly. Since I was on a date I was eating slowly so I didn’tfinish. The soaked deviled eggs are fantastic. The desserts were also very memorable. Get one. So it’s great for dates andgood food and right in the heart of downtown. Read more
