Kinoko

Stopped by to get some Gumbo Ramen and it was great! Emma greeted me and recommended the dumplings as a small plate. She’s got good taste because it was delicious! I was in a rush so I didn’t get to finish the ramen but I can’t wait to come back and enjoy it again!

Grew up in New Orleans and when a friend of mine from New Orleans visited for the weekend and recommended this place, we had to of course check it out! The atmosphere seemed lively and friendly. It was fun to see how the chef weaved NOLA influences into Japanese fare. Happy to report that the food here was delicious and did not disappoint. Would definitely go back to try other items. Thanks for a great evening!

kinoko is a super vibey & special place with a dope owner, good music, and some of the freshest and best food. hand rolls, fire. gumbo ramen, fire. scallop crudo, amazing. caesar salad, delicious. jambalaya, a must try. (also anything listed as a special for the night should never be bypassed) *every* menu item is truly so good and there are also great vegan options. looking forward to hanging out this spring on the patio and sipping a chilled orange wine and enjoying happy hour soon!

I fear I am never going to shut up about this place. Stumbled in here after having no plans and I’m so glad we did! Most of the time I try sushi I am at least a little underwhelmed on some of the dishes or rolls… well, consider me fully whelmed. Kinoko is INCREDIBLE. Every employee was super helpful and kind, we got seated quickly, the space was clean with ample seating both indoors and out. The owner/chef Kelseay stopped by to chat, and welcomed us to the neighborhood warmly. This place opened up ~6 months ago, but it felt so cozy and operated smoothly it seems like it’s been a neighborhood staple for years. Tried the Firefighter Roll, from the special menu - this is to die for. Absolutely sacrifice your soul and spend eternity in purgatory or whatever just to have a nibble. I loved it.

Creative food and nice ambience. Small kitchen and staff, so the food took a little longer than expected. Dumplings were good, the NOLA roll was tasty, just a little more expensive than expected, chicken karaage was a good portion, but maybe should have been sauced, and the jumbalaya rice was comforting.
