I wanted to try this place for a while and I finally did recently. Well... What to say... You must come over here that you already had dinner... The dishes are pretty tiny and there is no way they can make you full. The service is very nice, we liked it, but if you consider the fact we went we had already eaten and ended up spending $60 each and being still hungry, maybe the place is a bit overpriced $$$. The food is pretty good, especially considering they have a lot of fish and this is New Zealand, but with the amount of food they serve you per dish and the price, I cannot really give over 3 star.

The restaurant is located on the outskirts of the Central Business District. Had sashimi and sushi, fresh and delicious-the food is cheap by international standards. The service is prompt and very welcoming. The food is great, this is a must if you are in Christchurch. You won't regret it.

I came here on my own during my Christchurch trip, ordered 3x salmon nigiris, special red prawn sashimi, and beef sukiyaki. The salmon nigiri melted in my mouth!!!! They used the belly part of the salmon which is the best part. The prawn was so fresh and after I ate them, the chef deep fried the prawn heads and they tasted amazing!!! Beef sukiyaki was also so yum!!! I had to buy 6x nigiris and some yellow tail king fish sashimi to take home with me to Auckland so I can share with my family, and the staff was super helpful - packed my takeaways with an ice pack!! My family loved the sashimi and nigiris all the way from chch. Thank you. I’ll come back :).

What an incredible experience. This was my first Japanese food experience, for the most part. MAKE A BOOKING!! It is probably the only way you'll get in here because it has very limited seating. We arrived 5 minutes before our booking and unfortunately we had to wait for our table to leave. However they were on it and the patrons were gracious enough to leave. Once seated we reviewed the menu and a server came to take out our drink order. We ordered Ozeki Soju, Sweet Umeshu (plum wine) and water for the rest. We ordered some seared salmon Nigiri, a tempura shrimp sushi roll, a miso soup and order of Gyoza. All were amazing and flavorful. We all agreed made fresh. For our mains we ordered Teriyaki Salmon, Beef Tendon, Tataki Beef and Chicken Teriyaki Sizzle. All were again hot, flavorful and delicious. Overall it was an excellent experience. Our server knew English and we were never without water. Our son who studies Japanese even got to thank the chef in his native Japanese which topped off a great evening. So looking for some Asian cuisine and are needing a place with great food? Make a booking here, you will not be disappointed.

Authentic Japanese restaurant with very high reviews on Google. Called up the restaurant early in the afternoon for reservation in the evening. Arrived slightly early and glad the table is ready for us. The food menu is moderate, not many selections for choices. Had beef tataki as main. The beef was fresh. Overall a decent meal in a cozy small restaurant. The decoration is a bit dated though. Very few tables available which contributes to the cozy ambience.

Best Japanese restaurant in Christchurch and possibly NZ. The sashimi was so fresh and delicious. The blue fin tuna was outstanding!We also had the grilled yellowtail which was cooked to perfection.We love trying different sakes when we are here and also we tried some Japanese whiskey as well- all very good.Service is always great. Miyu is always so attentive and friendly.We will miss it here when it changes hands later in the year. Hopefully the new owners will maintain the Kinji magic.

This was the best Japanese meal I have experienced in the South Island.Service was excellent, quick but paced. The ambience was relaxed with a cozy comfortable sized restaurant. The food was exceptionally fresh and delicious. Oishii!All set in a very normal ChCh suburb. I was also pleasantly surprised with the bill at the end of the meal.ChCh Hospitality take note.

Best japanese in town! The big red prawns sashimi on special menu definitely worth trying! After finishing the sashimi, they will deep fried the prawn head for you which is very very crispy and tasty. Tempura combination also nice that it is well fried. Staffs and services are very nice, would love to visit again.
