Kingyo Izakaya

JapaneseWest Endvalue

Kingyo Izakaya is one of the best japanese restaurants in Vancouver for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in West End.

Kingyo Izakaya on Denman Street has built a consistent reputation as one of Vancouver's more serious izakayas — serious in the sense that the kitchen treats the small-plates format as a genuine culinary register rather than a backdrop for drinking.
