Kōjin

Great restaurant located in the Shangri-La Hotel on the 3rd floor. Floor to ceiling windows gave it a nice open feel and the view was nice. Loved the atmosphere and service was great. Food was absolutely delicious. We ordered almost everything off the menu. The Brussels Sprouts, warm salad, cauliflower, pork belly and steak was absolutely Scrumptious! Our party devoured all the food. The atmosphere was so comfortable, we dined in for almost 5 hours and time just flew. I heard they are closing soon, so definitely make it in before they close!

We came here for a special celebration and it was amazing. We sat at the chefs counter and got to watch as all the amazing preparation happened. Just watching the chefs work is reason enough to come and sit by the live fire grill. The chefs were lovely to talk to and all the servers were extremely friendly. The food was absolutely amazing, each dish had a sense of uniqueness but also something familiar that brought you home. Over all an amazing experience and I would definitely come back.

Went here to celebrate the holidays with some co-workers. The place has an elevator for folks who are unable to take the stairs so this place is accommodating! When you arrive, the host as well as the waiters are exceptionally friendly. We ordered various items on the menu since it was our first time. We ordered the Kōjin burger, lemongrass chicken and the island cod. We tried each other’s dishes and by far the burger is the best thing we ate here. Environment: It is enjoyable to sit at the chefs table to watch them cook. Watching them put wood into the stove or watching the chefs turn a crank that would let the grill move up or down from the flame.. loved it. The washrooms are in the 2nd floor and are clean. Service: everyone had a smile. It was nice! Very friendly. Our waiter was nice to put our leftover chicken in a togo bag. Food: Pricey but that burger is super memorable that I’m still thinking about it days later. We also ordered the corn bread with eggplant as appetizer and we ate that in a snap. You come here for the experience, and exceptionally tasty food. Don’t come here if you’re on a budget and rate them low because you think they are overpriced. You come here to let your taste buds delight in the food pairings, then leave a nice rating because.. they deliver. In the immortal words of the Terminator, I’ll be back. 💯

I've walked past this restaurant so many times and awed at how cool the atmosphere is. Did not disappoint, such a nice setting and view of the city. Food is very interesting with a lot of combinations and fusion flavours that I haven't had elsewhere. The bone marrow dish was my favourite.

Overall: prices are very reasonable, plating was very good, environment was very nice, but taste of the food was very mediocre (except for the flatbread with honey and butter). Maybe it’s was because I really like momofuku and I had very high hopes for this place, but I found the taste of most of the dishes very mediocre. And I personally probably wouldn’t go back again. The flatbread with butter and honey was super delicious and unique though.

Excellent service, equally amazing food! The quality and flavour is worth the money you spend here. The scallops ceviche is one of the best ceviches I’ve had, bringing up the standards of ceviche. Delicate citrusy and melt in your mouth goodness. We had the cornbread and eggplant spread, the roasted eggplant packed a punch of flavour. The grilled pork belly had a slight crunch on the surface. The meat was marinated so well. The panna cotta was to die for, so heavenly!! We ordered an extra one just because! I highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this place. We sat at the bar over looking the grilling station and watch perfect meat turned out all night. Ordered the rib-eye, squash and apple salad, brussel sprouts, meat platter, corn bread flat bread, and salmon crudo. The only dish that was not a superstar was the salmon, everything else was spectacular. Tried the peanut cake for dessert and was pleasantly surprised. Great place, highly recommended.

The service and ambience was good and this is why they earn two stars. Unfortunately, the dinner was less then impressive. I actually went ahead and made friends wth the table beside us and asked them how their experience was because I was so excited to try this place out, they mentioned their steak was extremely dry and well-done. They were right, I posted an image of the steak to show you exactly how well done it was, and I definitely don’t believe in having steak well-done. It’s a waste of meat in my opinion like that, as well it was super dry. The rest of the dishes were good but nothing memorable. Average price I would say, would not return by choice. Sorry Kojin! (Really wanted to love this place, very disappointed)
