Heading into a New Year: Part 4

December 29, 2017

Finally, we've made it to the last blog post of the year: What to Expect in 2018! We have a lot we are hoping to accomplish in this new year! We will be continuing our permanent price of $2.10 a track plate, of course. We are hoping to continue making changes within the restaurant, to freshen our look as well as making it more appealing to you, our customers. Some of these changes may be as simple as changing or adding decorations but we hope they will create a better environment for everyone.

We are also hoping to create a brand new sign for the store, featuring our beautiful Hanbok Lady. This is to add to our new brand creation which we are hoping will also be expounded on by a redesign of our restaurant menu! We have so many ideas to help with a complete change that we are hoping will make our store more appealing and...read more

Heading into a New Year: Part 3

December 28, 2017

We've had two major highlights that we want to expound on from this year. The first was the launching of our new website! We are so excited about the new prospects this gives us. Not only does it allow us to remain in contact with you, our customers, through these blog posts; but it allows us to add images of all of our menu items. We understand that many of you are confused about what to expect from our Korean food items, we are hoping that by being able to view the food first through these images you will feel more comfortable about ordering. If you are still confused please feel free to ask any of our staff. As you may have noticed, we are still missing quite a few of our menu items pictures on this site, that is because we are taking the images in groups so what you see is what you get. We do not want stock photos for our food, we...read more

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
