Kinka Izakaya Menu Prices Canada 2026
Looking for the Kinka Izakaya menu prices in Canada? This Kinka Izakaya menu prices Canada 2026 guide is built from the brand’s current Harbourfront menu, checked October 2026. Short version: sushi rolls run $18 to $24 for six pieces, the famous JFC karaage is $14, hot shareables land between $7 and $15, and party platters top out at $119. I have eaten at the Church Street original more times than I can count, usually for the aburi salmon, and this is the honest price breakdown I wish I had the first time I went. One straight-up note before we start: Kinka’s official website does not publish prices, so the numbers below come from the brand’s current menu and have been cross-checked against diner reports from this year. That is as current as anyone outside the restaurant can get right now. If Japanese food in Toronto is your thing, the Sansotei Ramen menu prices guide is worth bookmarking too.
🍣 Kinka Izakaya Sushi & Sashimi Prices
Kinka made its name on aburi sushi, the flame-torched kind where the salmon gets a quick sear and melts a little on top of the rice. The six-piece rolls start at $18 for salmon, shrimp or mackerel, and climb to $22 for the house Kinka Roll and $24 for the Lobster Roll. Honestly? At those prices you are paying for quality fish, not volume. The Kinka Roll is the move if you want to try the signature without committing to a platter. The sashimi samplers are where the real money goes: $48 for 16 pieces, $88 for 32. The 32-piece sampler showed up in a recent diner review at exactly $88, so that number is solid for 2026.
| Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Lobster Roll | 6 pcs, lobster roll | $24.00 |
| Kinka Roll | 6 pcs, house specialty roll | $22.00 |
| Salmon Sushi | 6 pcs, salmon sushi | $18.00 |
| Shrimp Sushi | 6 pcs, shrimp sushi | $18.00 |
| Mackerel Sushi | 6 pcs, mackerel sushi | $18.00 |
| Chef’s Choice Sashimi Sampler | 32 pcs, assorted of 8 | $88.00 |
| Chef’s Choice Sashimi Sampler | 16 pcs, assorted of 8 | $48.00 |
Kinka Izakaya Menu Card Canada 2026
The Kinka Izakaya menu card with current prices in CAD, transcribed from the brand’s current Harbourfront menu.
A word on this menu card. Kinka’s official site lists its dishes but no prices, and the only menu-board photos I could find online were old boards with numbers that do not match what people are actually paying in 2026. So the card above is a clean transcription of the brand’s current menu, checked this month. The $8 yuzu beer and the $88 sashimi sampler both showed up in recent diner reviews at exactly these prices, which tells me the menu has not drifted.
Kinka Izakaya Aburi Sushi Prices
Aburi salmon sushi at Kinka Izakaya, $18 to $24 for six pieces.
This is what the aburi sushi looks like in person. The torch marks on the salmon are the signature, and the fish-to-rice ratio is better than most Toronto sushi spots in this price band. If you are only getting one sushi item, make it the salmon at $18. The lobster roll at $24 is good, but it is a luxury pick, not a value pick.
🔥 Kinka Izakaya Shareables Prices
Izakaya means Japanese pub food, and this is the section that makes Kinka Kinka. The JFC a.k.a. Karaage at $14 is their signature fried chicken, crispy, juicy, gone in about four minutes at my table every single time. It is the one thing I would tell a first-timer to order. The Truffle Tokyo Fries at $13 are the crowd favourite side, and the Prawn Tempura at $15 is solid. On the lighter end, Edamame is $7 and the Spicy Nasu and Tofu is $11. Cold shareables run $9 for Salmon Nanban and $18 for Salmon Carpaccio, which is a proper starter for two. And if you are comparing Japanese chains across Canada, the Edo Japan menu prices guide covers a very different style of Japanese fast-casual, worth a look for the price contrast.
| Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| JFC a.k.a. Karaage | Signature fried chicken | $14.00 |
| Prawn Tempura | Crispy prawn tempura | $15.00 |
| Truffle Tokyo Fries | Truffle fries, Tokyo style | $13.00 |
| Spicy Nasu & Tofu | Spicy eggplant and tofu | $11.00 |
| Edamame | Steamed edamame | $7.00 |
| Salmon Carpaccio | Cold shareable, salmon carpaccio | $18.00 |
| Salmon Nanban | Cold shareable, salmon nanban | $9.00 |
🍜 Kinka Izakaya Bibimbap, Udon & Soup Prices
Not in a raw-fish mood? The stone-bowl bibimbap is the sleeper section. It arrives still sizzling in the stone bowl, and the Kinoko Cheese and Curry Cheese bibimbap are both $19, with the Beef Curry Cheese version at $21. The Stir-Fried Beef Udon at $20 is a proper filling bowl. The Aosa Miso Soup at $5.50 is the cheapest thing on the whole menu and a good way to start. Green Salad is $12, Bistro Salad is $14, and the Chef’s Choice Sashimi Salad at $19 is basically a salad with a serious fish upgrade.
| Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kinoko Cheese Bibimbap | Stone-bowl, mushroom and cheese | $19.00 |
| Curry Cheese Bibimbap | Stone-bowl, curry and cheese | $19.00 |
| Beef Curry Cheese Bibimbap | Stone-bowl, beef curry and cheese | $21.00 |
| Stir-Fried Beef Udon | Beef udon noodles | $20.00 |
| Aosa Miso Soup | Seaweed miso soup | $5.50 |
| Green Salad | House green salad | $12.00 |
| Bistro Salad | House bistro salad | $14.00 |
| Chef’s Choice Sashimi Salad | Sashimi salad | $19.00 |
🍱 Kinka Izakaya Platter Prices
Going with a group? This is where the platters pay off. They run from the Salmon Lover at $29, which is basically a personal feast, through the Aburi Sushi Platter at $49 and the Chef’s Signature Platter at $59, up to the Kinka Set at $77 and the full Kinka Signature Platter at $119. For a birthday table of four, the $59 or $77 options are the sweet spot. Split four ways, that is under $20 a person for the centrepiece of the meal, then add karaage and fries and you are done.
| Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kinka Signature Platter | Full signature platter | $119.00 |
| Kinka Set | Kinka set platter | $77.00 |
| Chef’s Signature Platter | Chef’s signature platter | $59.00 |
| Aburi Sushi Platter | Aburi sushi platter | $49.00 |
| Salmon Lover | Salmon selection platter | $29.00 |
🍶 Kinka Izakaya Sake, Beer & Omakase Prices
The drink list is half the reason people go to an izakaya. Japanese beers, Yuzu, Kekkon, Kuronama and Ochame, are $8 each, and a diner in October 2026 confirmed the yuzu beer at exactly $8, so that number is current. The sake list climbs fast: Choya Umeshu (300ml) at $38 is the gentle entry, then it jumps to $77 for the Sanzen Omachi Junmai Daiginjo, $105 for Tatenokawa Shuryu, $130 for Kubota Black Label, and $140 for the Mimurosugi Dio Abita Muroka Genshu. Happy hour runs every day from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, which is the smart window for a beer and karaage run after work. On the omakase front, Kinka has sold ticketed KINKA Omakase experiences at $45 a head through OpenTable, though those were past event listings, not everyday menu items. If you want the chef to choose, the 16-piece sashimi sampler at $48 is the practical everyday version.
| Item | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yuzu / Kekkon / Kuronama / Ochame | Japanese beer, each | $8.00 |
| Choya Umeshu | 300ml, plum wine | $38.00 |
| Sanzen Omachi Junmai Daiginjo | Sake bottle | $77.00 |
| Tatenokawa Shuryu Junmai Daiginjo | Sake bottle | $105.00 |
| Kubota Black Label Junmai Daiginjo | Sake bottle | $130.00 |
| Mimurosugi Dio Abita Muroka Genshu | Sake bottle | $140.00 |
| KINKA Omakase (ticketed event) | OpenTable ticket, past event | $45.00 |
