Kansai Kitchen Restaurant in Bristol

Reviews

   Firstly, the restaurant is in the pub, and there is no segregation. Orders are made on the counter bar. This might be a bit confusing for first-timers. I went there on a Friday evening so the place was quite full and rather loud. The staff made good recommendations about the food, however I must say they were on the pricey side. I was waiting for the food a bit longer than expected, and it can be said emphatically that they were quite authentic and certainly unique in Bristol, nevertheless the quality was not exceptional, one might say an average Kansai experience. My verdict is that it is a good place providing good experience if you’re nostalgic for the food, but the price to value is not the best.

   Food and drink 7/10 Service 7/10 Decor and atmosphere: 7/10 Service speed 7/10 Cost 6/10 The best: Japanese food in a pub.. What?! The worst: gets loud and crowded. The lowdown: Maybe it's me getting old, but it gets pretty busy in this small establishment. Ordering food can be a nightmare as you order at the bar. Food is great but on the expensive side for the serving sizes. It's a great experience but won't be running back any time soon.

   Excellent and authentic Japanese food served here! We had their Sunday menu which although limited was really good. We met one of the owners and chef, Liam and Marion who were lovely people and clearly passionate about bringing true Japanese cuisine to Bristol. My girlfriend is Japanese and said this is the best Japanese restaurant in Bristol. The pub is also a nice experience with a great vibe and a good selection of drinks.

   Really tasty Japanese food in the HillGrove Porter Stores pub - more like tapas as we ordered quite a few dishes. The Okonomiyaki (like a potato and cabbage pancake) and the cold noodles (with really tasty sauce) were the biggest, and we also had chicken, mackarel and kimchi, all in a nice tucked away beer garden with some great beers to accompany, really nice evening. If they maybe put a couple of extra things on the menu for some extra choice it would be even better.

   A bit confusing to find the place only to find out that this Japanese restaurant IS the same as the pub’s building. Very unusual indeed but on the upside, there’s not many close to authentic okonomiyaki restaurants in the UK and this place does serve a good Osaka style okonomiyaki. Usually, to get an authentic okonomiyaki, I’d need to go to London but I’m glad to see one in Bristol.

   Outside of like, visiting a Japanese person's home, this is possibly the best Japanese food you can get in Bristol. Authentic too, like I could get food like this in Japan! Never thought I'd be able to get kushikatsu in Bristol. Highly recommended! I'm definitely coming back for more.

   We visited end of July when we dropped into Bristol for an evening during a long roadtrip after seeing so many good reviews and we were not disappointed. Pub itself is in need of some redecorating. But Kansai Kitchen provides a great menu of amazing Japanese dishes that makes up for it! Chef had spent some time training in Japan and he has bought back great flavours and techniques! Okonomiyaki was delicious! We got it with oysters but I could have easily ordered all 4 different flavours. The cold sesame noodles was lovely and refreshing too! Highly highly recommended!
