Heading into a New Year: Part 2

December 27, 2017

Yesterday we started talking about changes that were made this past year. Today we are going to continue with the rest of the changes we completed! Along with the changes to the business cards and website we started to remodel our restaurant. We removed most of the tables to create more space. Instead, we added bigger booths to fit bigger groups! We were extremely excited about this change as it allowed us to easily accommodate larger parties. We moved our smaller booths over by the sushi track to allow more access while keeping the area open. We removed the tv's to promote more conversation among each other. We also repainted some of the wall the update the look and add more color. We welcome any feedback and suggestions you may have!

Our biggest accomplishment was the reopening of our sushi track. Having been down for more...read more

Heading into a New Year

December 26, 2017

For the next 4 days we will be going over the changes made to Kinja throughout this year, some of our history, highlights and what you have to look forward to in 2018! We are so excited about the progress we have made and our future prospects! Like many small businesses we have had our ups and downs throughout this year, but we faced them head on and gave it all we had. First we started our renovations with some changes to our brand.

Many of you may have noticed the change to our business/punch cards; this was just the start of many changes we will be making in the near future. We have decided to rebrand ourselves, we want to be more familiar to our customers and this was just one of many ways we have done this. Featured on our business card, as well as the window cover in our restaurant, you will find our Hanbok Lady. Being...read more

Sushi Track Questions

December 02, 2017

We've come across some frequent questions our customers are asking and thought that a blog post would be the best way to clear up any confusion. So here we go!

1. Why do you only run the sushi track at certain times?

Well, sushi stays fresh for only 3-4 hours at most so limiting the time the track is ran guarantees that everything on the track is still fresh and safe to eat! Our customers are extremely important to us and we want to make sure they have the best possible experience they can when they are with us.

2. The tempura is cold, can I have a fresh order?

Well actually, we don't keep the food on the track heated to keep it safe to eat. If it is cold that does not necessarily mean it is old. If you would like it warm we can easily heat it for you at your request, this way we can make sure there is no...read more

Let's Talk Sushi

November 13, 2017

As you may have seen recently, we have reopened our sushi track! Now it's time to clarify some things. The track plates are $2.10 a piece. We run it Monday-Saturday from 11-2:30 and 5-8:30. The chef will stop adding any new plates 30 minutes prior to the track closing, this is to preserve ingredients and guarantee freshness. All of our sushi is made in house. If there is something you loved but want more, just order it fresh-to-order from our menu!

Of course while the track is running you can still order anything straight off of our menu! Everything ordered is made fresh, and the wait is worth it. We refuse to serve anything that we ourselves would not eat, and we prefer our food hot (except for our sushi of course). Which is why you must expect a wait time after ordering off the menu. Even our sushi is made to order, right in...read more

Celebrating 5 Years! The Sushi Track is Back!

October 21, 2017

We invite you all to come help us celebrate our 5 year anniversary in Spokane as well as the reopening of our sushi track!

All track plates are $2 a piece for a limited time special deal. We are incredibly happy to have been able to serve Spokane for the last 5 years and we look forward to many more years to come. We know that it was a long wait for the track to be repaired but it is finally fixed and fully functional again! We have also recently made some major changes to the interior of our store. We have replaced most of the tables with booths to open up the space but also provide a comfortable and relaxed dinning experience.

We believe in personal connection and have removed the tv's from the restaurant. Reconnect with each other again over some of our freshly made Korean dishes, order your own variety of sushi, or...read more

Further Changes at Kinja

August 14, 2017

As you saw recently, we have been undergoing some major renovations at Kinja. This week we are expounding on that. We have changed some of the colors and decorations on the walls. We also removed the tables and replaced them with bigger booths so you can be closer with your loved ones while you enjoy a meal. This has created a more open feel to the restaurant that can let you dine without feeling crowded. Although the track is still under repair we hope to have it fixed and running soon with some newer prices that we are excited about! On top of the new prices on the sushi track we have also created a Lunch Special Menu that we will be adding to our current menu with special deals on menu items for Lunch from 11 am to 2:30 pm, Mondays-Fridays!

What's New at Kinja

July 19, 2017

As we have mentioned before, we have been pondering renovations for quite some time. There wasn't much done when we first acquired the business 4 years ago. However, with the re-branding and the launching of our new website we figured it was time to do some modifications where it matters most; in the restaurant. Please keep in mind that if you come to Kinja things may be in a slight state of disarray as we don't want the changes to get in the way of serving our customers.

We are doing some repainting as well as creating a more open feel to the restaurant. It is just a start but we believe it is a step in the right direction. We are hoping to create an environment that is uniquely ours and will make you feel more welcome! Please feel free to stop in an see the progress as it happens. We are hoping that you will like the changes...read more
