KinKan@Los Angeles ★★★

"Kyoto's Love Spring Kaiseki" Menu. This time, Chef Nan transported us to her favorite city, Kyoto, where she learned kaiseki from. Amazing Japanese cuisine with Thai flavor. Love Chef Nan's friendly & fun personality. Jon is nice and knowledgeable about wine. Love the vibe. We did counter seating and moved to table after dinner service. $195 per person. Pot of Hot Tea $12. 20% service fee will be automatically added to the bill. Free limited parking at small adjacent lot or street parking around the block. Reservations via Tock.
