"The Westside is stacked with great sushi options, and Kinjo Room is our pick for a romantic, moderately priced sushi date night. Located inside The Interlock, the place is tiny, with roughly ten tables and a bar. But instead of feeling cramped, it feels intimate—since the place is so dark you can barely see the party next to you. And naturally, couples tend to lean in closer to each other as a candle votive softly illuminates the shared small plates at their table. Their sashimi is excellent, but we really like the specialty rolls, specifically the outstanding (and giant) lobster box and the tender A5 wagyu beef rolls." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
"We all know size matters, but rather than making us feel cramped, Kinjo Room in The Interlock makes us feel like we’re VIP’s fresh off a hot tip about an exclusive club specializing in sushi. It’s just one small room with roughly ten tables and a bar. The candle-lit space is perfect if you want to enjoy dinner with someone you actually like. Electronic-pop and artsy cover music play softly in the background as you sample small plates (we recommend the tender A5 Wagyu beef or lobster box rolls). So you can really feel like a VIP, make sure to grab a reservation for weekends and peak dinner times." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"This tiny sushi spot is hidden on the lower level of the Interlock in West Midtown. It’s a prime location for date nights when intimacy is a requirement. With only ten tables, moody lighting, and a fashionable, back-lit bar, it’s the perfect place to cozy up and share one of their 11 specialty rolls. And if the date somehow turns sour, the square-shaped lobster maki or A5 wagyu beef topped with truffle soy will woo you. We know the Westside is teeming with sushi restaurants, but for affordable exclusivity, Kinjo Room is our spot." - juli horsford, nina reeder
"Kinjo Room, by Alex Kinjo behind MF Sushi and the newly-opened Yuji on the eastside BeltLine, is a dark and cool sushi spot in West Midtown at the Interlock. It has date-night written all over it, with its dim lighting, intimate seating, and cocktail offerings. There’s plenty of fresh sushi and sashimi on the menu (the seafood comes from the Tsukiji market in Japan, according to the restaurant), along with tempura and yakitori (the miso yuzu duck is great)." - Eater Staff
"Olu: “I think they had this strawberry-infused sake. It was really tight. But the sushi is good, the drinks are good. The atmosphere is fire, it’s very chill. You [can] walk right by it and not know what's going on, and you’re still in the mix. I kind of like that.”" - jacinta howard
