    We tried almost everything on the brunch menu. Delicious food, great service. I especially liked the crudo, and the short rib. The bread in the Avocado toast and chile eggs were a little soggy, but that’s just me being ultra critical, it was packed with flavor too.

    We enjoyed the largest tasting menu Kojin had to offer; we wanted to try everything. We din out a lot and often choose prefix as we love to experience the chef's choice. We had10-12 courses with 50% being either overly salted or covered in cream/butter which deferred from the protein or vegetables natural flavors. We particularly enjoyed the wagyu and small bites at the beginning; did not enjoy the beef tartar, grain course or chicken course. Disappointing by the glass wine list and absent zero proof beverage list, which was disappointing. The waitress was polite and knew the dishes well.

    Beautiful experience filled with amazing food. Do wish I could get a bar drink or even a soda but it’s definitely not a deal breaker as the food and staff are more than indefinite

    Excellent. Best ceasar salad I have ever had. Ever! I thought the bread service would be a waste of money. It was not. I normally hate goat cheese, yet when combined with the whipped butter and spread on the bread it was very good. Had the Maitake it was also phenomenal. The short rib was spectacular. The tortellini was exceptional. Chef Pedro was present, involved and explained each dish. Will go back to do the tasting menu next. This is the first time I ever write a review. Run do not walk and go to Kojin, you will not regret it.
