Kinjo - Japanese Restaurant, Bar & Grill in Tandridge

Not sure about this place. Lots of "hidden" rice here. The usually Sushi, wrapped in rice, a main course that looked like a large bowl of food was some meat, lots of greens and 50% rice. One drink each and a few side dishes and it cost almost £40 each! Rice must be expensive these days - or the large number of staff needed to be paid - I thought I counted 10. Not my favourite place!

The waiters are so friendly and smiley. Loved our visit will definetly be going back

Elegant and stylish setting, we had a comfortable and well positioned table with plenty of space. Beautiful attention to detail and a very warm welcome from the team. Smiling and charming service. Food was absolutely delicious: soft shell crab, sushi, grilled meats all a highlight. I loved the wide choice of sake by the glass: get stuck in an experiment. I had 3 and they were all tasty and matched with the food perfectly. Good coffee and my husband loved his wee ice cream cone to finish. Excellent: I only wish this was in our neighbourhood. Lucky Oxted.

Warm friendly hospitality with modern tasteful decor; a really enjoyable restaurant to spend time with a tasty drink, authentic Japanese food, and relax.

I recently visited kinjo restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The food was fantastic—full of bold flavors and made with high-quality ingredients. The ambiance was relaxed yet elegant, perfect for both casual dining and special nights out. I also found the prices to be quite reasonable for the quality of the food and service. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the entire experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food at an affordable price!

Great experience here. Food, drinks [cocktails], atmosphere and service was straight out of the top draw. Place has a nice buzz about. Can see us returning soon. Well done!!

Fabulous food and the service is very good but adding an 18% service charge for a table of 3 is excessive and a bit cheeky, even if it is removable from the bill in theory (we paid it, for the record as we were in a rush!)

Thank you for finding us a table even though you were full. We were very well looked after by Prashant.

Had a lovely dinner at Kinjo tonight - the staff had great recommendations (especially when it came to cocktails) and we especially enjoyed the California and spicy salmon rolls. Will definitely be coming here again!

Food is very generously priced especially for a place like this. Incredible service, almost immediate! Received free drinks on the house. Took no longer than 5 minutes to get anything I ordered. Came here for brothers birthday, all of the staff were very friendly and kind. EXTREMELY CLEAN, even the bathroom. Could not find a spec of dirt. Thank you to everyone who served us today 👏. Decoration is nice and warm, music is never too loud or quiet and nice tunes, temperature was never too cold or warm.

Amazing food and staff. So good!

Been twice. Food is delicious. Also had one of the best cocktails of my life - the lemongrass cucumber chilli one. Soft shell crab sushi and chicken karyage are a must

The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance made for a comfortable and enjoyable meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Absolute gem of a place. Took my daughter to lunch. Highly recommend. The best restaurant I've been to in ages.

thank you kinjo for making my 21st a memorable one! the food is a 10/10 literally everything was delicious and fast service too!!!!

Beautiful restaurant for a special occasion. Took my parents and ordered tasting platters. We were all blown away. Stunning dishes, great service. I’ll be back!

Absolutely fabulous food and very friendly waiters. We will definitely come back again. Sitting outside what is very cosy and quiet. Nice atmosphere.

Food came quick,tasted amazing and all staff were kind

Just had my lunch at Kiinjo Oxted. I had teriyaki chicken and rice plus prawns tempura. I was hungry but stopped eating chicken & rice half way, felt that something not quite right although I don't know what. I vomited less than 30 mins later. My son had another half but he was ok. My 4 year old granddaughter she enjoyed her fried chicken bento very much too. I guess I'm disappointed because it was my birthday lunch 😅

Absolute gem, food was amazing, staff amazing. Quick service. Child friendly, can't wait to go back. All sushi was fresh and tasty, tempura moreish, don buri amazing our 6 year old ate it and she can be picky! Chicken teriyaki also great.

Can't fault our experience at all. The Sake No Hana connection is evident in the quality of food and service. Please consider opening a Kent branch!

High quality, authentic Japanese food

Luckily we had booked as on arrival most of the tables were already taken. Not surprisingly as the food was delicious and how often can you have a lunch with such great quality for £16.50 a head including service, a glass of wine, sake or beer and a choice of main course? My mother who is in a wheelchair was greeted warmly and we were soon seated by the friendly manager. The sushi bowls were outstanding, freshly prepared by one of the seven sushi chefs on show behind the spotless counter. With the accompanying tasty miso soup we both agreed it was plenty of food for even a very large appetite. The wine served was very good too. Our waitress was excellent. The atmosphere was buzzy in a good way, with the customers clearly enjoying themselves. What a wonderful place to have on our doorstep in Oxted. No wonder it was full.

Simply divine food and an amazing atmosphere. The staff were wonderful and we cannot wait to go back!

Had heard from many this place has great food and we were not disappointed. From the outside the view of the place is amazing. And once you walk in all the staff are friendly. For starters we ordered Veg Tempura / Pop Corn Shrimp / Sojin Maki Rolls / Salmon & Avocado / Kinjo Maki Rolls. For dinner Chicken Teryaki Donburi to share and for dessert we had the delicious Salted Caramel ice cream with biscuit crumble! ALL we ordered was yummy and would love to go back to try their other dishes. We love spicy food so their chili oil is a great addition to the side sauces. Definitely recommend all to go here.

Fantastic food with brilliant service. Great variety on the menu. The Sushi and sashimi is amazing.

Exactly what cobham needed - coming to my 8th visit since opening . Amazing service . Amazing staff . Exceptional food !!! Fantastic prices . Hats off to Graham and chef Nabin. Saraniya Dinesh

It's just so good, especially the lunchtime deal!

Wow. I loved it here. The food, the service, the ambience, the drinks - all five star. I cannot recommend more highly. I love eating out and Kinjo really has landed a superb offering - delicious and an experience. We will be back!!!!

Absolutely delicious experience! Had to drive a bit longer from our place though with traffic, not ideal. Wish we could order home! Highly recommend to try tuna carpaccio, just melts as soon as touches your tongue 🥳 Please sort out your take away! In my area Deliveroo seems to be most convenient and speedy.

Fantastic restaurant we stumbled upon when looking for something to eat. One of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve been to.

There simply is no room to improve the quality of the food (quality, taste). And given that the value of the lunch menu is *phenomenal*, (when you compare with the limp, bulk sourced, mean portioned junk you get for the very little less at some 'gastro' pub)

Absolutely delicious food, attentive staff and amazing cocktail selection. The tuna maki roll was so scrummy and the tempura veggies hit the spot beautifully. Fresh, tasty and fulfilling food. Staff were very sweet too. Thanks for a lovely meal + experience

Came at lunch time and was refused to sit as "we are fully booked ", inside was the similar situation as outside. Half empty. Good luck guys.

Outstanding food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The staff was very attentive and provided excellent service, especially our server, Liv. The food was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. If you are ever in the area and fancy some authentic Japanese food, I would definitely recommend Kinjo. Looking forward to the next visit!

Genuinely, a real gem. The service was the best I’ve experienced in years, the food was fantastic and the selection at the bar, faultless. 100% a faultless experience.

I could not leave more of a positive review. Kinjo is incredible. Food…service…ambiance….just another level. Sammy and George are amazing and an absolute credit to the business. You MUST try this restaurant!!!

Amazing food,service and atmosphere. enjoyed and happy to recomend.

Food is amazing at this place! Celebrated a birthday. Nice layout upstairs. The food is such good quality, all of the meat and fish is so tender and tasty! Was even thinking about it the next day 😂 The kids also really enjoyed the bento boxes. Staff were brilliant, really attentive, welcoming, and they all came to sing happy birthday when they brought in the cake!

I celebrated my mum's birthday here. Food was great and the service was lovely. Great place👌

Such a lovely restaurant with delicious food, the ramen is fantastic and the Hamachi Carpaccio is so good I order it every time I am there!

Excellent Japanese food with very friendly staff. lightest tempura batter ever and very tasty wagu

Really impressed with our visit today. The food was delicious and the flavours were outstanding (the salmon carpaccio in particular). The espresso martini was made to perfection and the staff very helpful with their recommendations on the menu. We were all really pleased with our choices today. We had our 3.5 year old little boy with us and the staff were super friendly with him. We will definitely be returning. The volume and the playlist was great too.

Visited for dinner following recommendation from a friend, and so glad we did! All the food was delicious, especially the California tree rolls. Our server (I think his name was Zach!) talked us through the menu and recommended dishes and how many to get. The service was fab, very attentive and enough time in between courses. The restaurant is lovely inside as well. Unfortunately we aren't local but would definitely return if we are in the area again! 😊

one of the nicest restaurants we’ve ever been too. service was great and the food was incredible. highly recommend the karaage and the wagyu robata skewers.

Easily one of the best meals I've ever had, cocktails were unique and delicious and we encountered some brand new flavours in their dishes. Couldn't recommend enough, definitely my new favourite restaurant!

Excellent japanese food. Sushi was some of the best i have had. Also hreat sticks

Highly recommended for all Japanese food lovers. Lunch set menu comes with a free drink too, including Sake or beer

Loved it, first time there tonight. The atmosphere is perfect, not too lively but not too quiet. The interior is beautiful and different. The staff are so friendly, from the owner, to the kitchen staff and young staff members. Great quality of food and options. I’m vegetarian and there were options for me and not half effort options, real options. So tasty, definitely going again.

What a wonderful food. So tasty. Very attentive, knowledgeable staff. Lived our dinner at Kinjo.

Great place with personal service and consistently fresh and tasty meals, and a delicious drinks menu. Always a friendly welcome and buzzing atmosphere 😀

The best meal I’ve had ever. Me and my partner love sushi and Japanese food, and this place was the best place I’ve ever been. The place is beautiful and clean, the food was fresh and the cocktails were insane. The atmosphere was also amazing even at 6pm. Our waitress, shay, elevated our meal. She was amazing, warm and some of the best service I’ve ever had. Will be returning again and again. Highly recommend.

Sadly I couldn't leave a ten star review as the food, service and atmosphere is exceptional. My wife and I had a chicken teriyaki donburi and it's the best we've ever had. Highly recommended.

A brilliant little place in Oxted! Charming staff who pulled out all the stops to make us feel welcome despite us having a dog and not being able to go into the restaurant, they arranged a table for us outside and served us some delicious food. Lovely staff and affordably priced - will definitely be returning!

Delicate sushi and sashimi dishes, beautiful presentation, excellent warm welcome from the chefs. Daughter loved the bento box, my favourite was the hamachi carpaccio. Will be back

We had family lunch during half term and I had been waiting to try this restaurant after hearing so many good reviews. Lunch time was set menu plus sushi only. We had Tonkotsu (pork) ramen, chashu donburi and chicken teriyaki donburi. The food was delicious and the ramen was very authentic, I think it had bonita fish flake or stock in. The set menu came with a drink each so we actually spent less than we usually do in Wagamama and we got higher quality food as well! We were very impressed. The restaurant was very busy and we didn’t book but they accommodated us straight away and we got a booth table. We would need to go back for dinner to try dishes from the rest of the menu!

Amazing food! Excelent service and drinks selection. Staff are amazing, service is flawless and cocktails are of the highest quality. Tables and bar are always clean, staff are always ready to serve and attentive to any needs/requests and atmosphere is relaxed yet delivers a wonderful customer focused service. 10/10 will happily visit again and again Keep up the top notch service.

Always incredible food and service at Kinjo! The server had a spill over my partner and they went out of their way to clean up, offer dry cleaning and got drinks for us. The standard of service is far beyond any other spot locally and we always enjoy ourselves here! Thank you!

Really enjoyed our first visit to Kinjo. The staff were so helpful and cheery and the food was superb. We look forward to returning soon.

Had a wonderful early evening meal in Kinjo midweek and also visited subsequently on a buzzy Friday evening. The waiting staff were so friendly and very knowledgeable in terms of what on the menu could be made gluten free, even bringing GF soy sauce to the table for my rice. There are surprisingly good options - Japanese cuisine is usually avoided by me in view of how GF heavy it is. The teriyaki chicken bowl was tasty but I do think something..maybe the teriyaki sauce was not gluten free as I had some reaction in my joints so the 2nd time I went I ordered sashimi, the black cod and broccoli. All dishes were absolutely delicious and I already want to return to eat those again. My family all had the donburi bowls and with the addition of gluten they looked really good and got thumbs up. Another star dish was my son's octopus. The service was excellent, prices were very reasonable given the quality of the food and how good the service is. We will 100% be back.

I’ve just had the best Japanese food this side of Tokyo! What a find; fabulous food, staff helpful and friendly, especially George, just loved him. Pleasantly buzzing, but not over noisy. Definitely going back soon

Food was delicious and served was fantastic. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great good, great atmosphere and a lot of fun

2nd visit and definitely worth it.

This was the most incredible experience of my life. Before this restaurant I didn’t know that the “experience” of fine dining actually existed. I have eaten in good restaurants, but no food has ever left me speechless and transported me to heaven. I am writing this is as I am still in the restaurant and I don’t think I will ever leave. I will continue to order food here until I am forced out. The staff are amazing and friendly, the food is absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend it enough, but not too much as I don’t want to have to wait for a booking. Thank you Kinjo

Food was great, comparable to great restaurants in Japan. There is a DJ night on Saturdays, so that night, the atmosphere is lively and noisy. Quieter during the week. Staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Love to have such a nice restaurant close by!

I loved this place so much it is amazing 🤩!!! The staff were so nice and the manager helped us understand the menu and how it works! Loved our waitress, Shae, she brought me a birthday candle on my mochi and gave me a personalised happy Birthday 🎈! They were so accommodating; it was my birthday and they offered to sing but I am not into that sort of thing so the team gave me a quiet and quirky birthday wish! Loved it with all my heart ❤️! You made my birthday week so fulfilling! Owen

This is an excellent sushi restaurant with a good selection of desserts and a wide range of cocktails. Fantastic atmosphere and attentive staff

Excellent restaurant, super helpful & knowledgeable staff, delicious food, definitely coming back

My husband and I came for lunch after several recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The restaurant, staff, food and atmosphere were all fantastic. We loved the range of people eating and saw a member of staff even showing a toddler round. We will be coming back again and highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for such a delicious meal.

This was the 4th time we've eating here and it did not disappoint, the food as always was exceptionally good. The staff were attentive and engaging on what was a busy evening. I cannot recommend Kinjo enough if you are looking for a great Japanese meal and a great night out.

Everything was amazing, the food, the service and atmosphere. The lady who served us was lovely and made our experience special. We loved it.

Excellent quality food and service. Staff work hard and are super friendly and helpful

We were made to feel special the minute we came through the door. The staff are amazing the attention to detail on the food and service is simply the best. This is the best Japanese restaurant you will find. If you want to go out enjoy an awesome night eat great food and have the best service then this is the place to go. They made my 60th birthday an incredible event nothing was too much, a real party place, just love it, go and see for yourself

A wonderful place to be in decor wise, the food is ok for this level but not outstanding , we were there on a busy night so might have been slightly rushed. Service varied from unbelievably good to absolutely shocking, all in one evening. Call it the four seasons but not in a great way.. Sort consistency of service and you're on to a winner.

Absolutely fantastic Japanese. Great atmosphere great food and drinks and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended

Really loved the food there. A bit pricey but worth every penny! Definitely recommand it.

Have had the pleasure of dining here twice and can safely say this is mine and my partners favourite restaurant. The food is outstanding and is handled with such care, nothing we’ve eaten has been below a 10/10. Even their Yuzu Lemonade is to die for. The staff are beyond friendly and attentive and even strike up conversations with you to make you feel more welcome and give that personal touch. London sushi restaurants wish it matched the familiar and modern atmosphere that Kinjo has going, my second visit it felt like I’d been going there for years. I’ve recommended Kinjo to anyone and everyone and will continue to come back for as long as possible.

Had a fabulous dinner last night. First time. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend to go. Only tiny criticism was that it was quite dark upstairs so hard to read the menu and not sure about the dj - fun but not sure it was right for restaurant. Would still come again

Nice place & everyone enjoyed the sushi. My problem was I waited over an hour for my food as I don't eat sushi so my friends were eating & had finished by the time I got my food. Thought they would have bought it out at yhe same time? I Had the pulled pork & it had quite a bit of fat & very dry so didn't end up eating it & don't think I will trying anything more at a sushi restaurant. Not for me but my friends liked it.

Oxted has great restaurants and for me kinjo is top.

I had my 30th birthday here last night and it was amazing. Food was delicious, wine was great and service impeccable. Thank you

Delicious lunch in a gorgeous setting

Delicious food and friendly staff

Been a few times, always a good experience. Great staff, quality food.

I couldn't fault anything. Every visit is amazing

Service was good but our order got missed. The waitress kept us waiting informed and was very pleasant.

Had an amazing dinner at Kinjo. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Food was delicious - so much choice and amazing options for little ones too. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great food and service. Really impressed

Really great food. We had a mixture of stuff and both the sushi and hot food were really tasty!

I booked a table for my wife's 50th and it did not disappoint. Food and service was beyond excellent, I would highly recommend. It felt like a restaurant in the West-end rather than Oxted! We shall return.

Fun Japanese restaurant with great fresh cooked dishes. Tasty cooked dishes as well as sushi and fish. A la carte and Sunday special menu.

Loved it. Food, service and atmosphere. Perfect night out celebrating my sons 30th birthday.

Really delicious food, lovely staff and all for a reasonable price 😋

Everything is excellent. Food, service, atmosphere. Best place for many miles 👌

Lively and fairly loud on a Saturday evening. The food was very nice and good attentive service

Nice decor and friendly service. The lunch sets are great value and are a must-try!

Service was wonderful, staff went above and beyond for my dads birthday, when they brought out the cake the whole staff sang to him and made sure to get his name beforehand. They were very friendly and professional. Food was wonderful and we stuffed ourselves full! Can’t thank the team enough!

Fantastic. If there was one improvement it would be to have a simple vegan dessert available
