Kinjo is easily one of the most impressive dining experiences I’ve had in Tampa — this place is artistic, flavorful, and genuinely special. The space feels cozy and intimate, and the staff couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. You can tell everyone here takes pride in what they do. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kinjo earned a Michelin star in the future.

We started with the Wagyu carpaccio, Caesar salad and the bread platter, and all three were incredible — balanced flavors, beautiful presentation, and great textures. For entrées, we had the Bolognese with a Japanese twist and the cappelletti with 100-year aged balsamic. These might be two of the most flavorful pasta dishes you’ll find anywhere in Tampa; the depth and richness are on another level.

For dessert, we tried both options, and the standout was the caprese salad dessert — an absolute must-order. It’s creative, refreshing, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

From start to finish, Kinjo delivers a true culinary experience. Exceptional food, exceptional service, and exceptional attention to detail. This is a restaurant I’ll be returning to often. Highly recommended.

So pumped this is in Tampa now – a refreshing new blend of exciting flavors and innovative combinations. Chef has over delivered, can’t wait to come back and see the next season’s menu!

Started with a drool worthy bread service and nice Asian tea. Wine offerings were decent though pricey for what they were.

Carpaccio was stellar, literally the best I’ve had in a long time. Chawanmushi was unique and packed with flavor.

Pastas were perfectly made, excellent layers of flavor and the cappelletti with the pickled radish was just magical.

An exquisite and intimate dining experience. The restaurant only holds 20 people so you receive exceptional service. The chef serves you herself and discusses each plate with you. It is clear that the staff enjoys their job. While all of the plates are small, they are all exceptional, except for the desert. Maybe skip the desert. Great spot for a dinner date.

Amazing meal with an enjoyable atmosphere and the BEST service! Some highlights were the scallops, foccacia, and the pasta was to die for. I wouldn’t hesitate to order anything on the menu, it was THAT good. Everything was beautifully presented and so creative! Be warned though, it is a very small restaurant– reservations are a must. Price was also right on point for the high quality of the food.

From start to finish, this was truly an unforgettable dining experience. The Italian–Japanese fusion was absolutely out of this world and perfectly balanced in every bite. The tasting menu was the best decision we could have made, giving us the chance to try multiple dishes, each one more sensational than the last.

The dishes were made with such thoughtfulness and creativity that it felt like we were tasting something unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before. The staff was incredible, and walked us through everything with immense knowledge.

I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic this meal was. If you’re looking for an extraordinary culinary journey, this is the place to go.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last night at Kinjo and it was just fabulous! I’ve never been to an Itameshi Wafu concept restaurant before – Italian food made with Japanese sensibilities as Kinjo puts it, and can’t wait to get back with friends and family. We did the tasting menu and every item was special and absolutely delicious. Our favorites were probably the uni focaccia, the wagyu tart topped with ossetra caviar, and the cappelletti with drops of 100 year balsamic. The caviar and the 100 year balsamic were add ons. Our experience being served by Genesis and the chef de cuisine, Jada were just top notch. We highly recommend Kinjo and can’t wait to get back there!

It won’t take long for this new Tampa restaurant to be named on the Michelin guide. The food is unique, it has a strong concept and over all it is delicious. The service is kind and charming without being over the top. We loved every second of the tasting menu and I will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Me, my wife and our awesome friends recently had the absolute pleasure of attending a food tasting at a NEW gem that masterfully blends Japanese sushi with Italian flair. The dishes were nothing short of extraordinary. Each plate was a creative fusion that surprised and delighted my mouth hole. Every bite made my happiness meter explode, thanks to the impeccable preparation and presentation by Chef Jada & crew. Let’s talk about Chef Jada’s incredible sourdough bread and focaccia, both made from scratch, these were game-changers! Her baking prowess is impeccable and out of this world.

The outstanding service elevated the experience. Genesis and Matthew were attentive hosts, ensuring every detail was perfect, from recommending pairings to sharing insights about the tasting menu with genuine enthusiasm. And let’s not forget the talented chefs behind it all: Head Chef Jada orchestrated the evening like a maestro. Chef Javi, Chef Jada, and Chef Dominique brought their passion to life, personally presenting dishes and explaining the inspiration behind each fusion creation, it was all incredible. If you’re a foodie looking for something bold and delicious, this Japanese/Italian fusion tasting is a must try. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else.

We had a date night here the other night and loved the experience. Parking was a challenge (but not impossible), they share a small lot with a few other businesses. We arrived half an hour early (which never happens) and they were not only able to seat us, but they also bumped us up to chef’s counter. SOOOO happy we did that instead of table service. The food was amazing, every course. Interaction with the staff and Chef was great. The atmosphere was perfect. This is definitely an elevated dining experience that’s a must for any serious foodie. Sorry no food pics, just before/afters. We were way too busy enjoying everything ☺️
