30/03/2025: Thus offers a delightful dining experience with a well-crafted menu and the option to add extra dishes, which is a great touch. I chose to add tuna sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and delicious.
Among the dishes on the menu, I particularly enjoyed the Braised pork belly and vegetables in a marinade, which had a perfect balance of flavors and textures. On the other hand, the dish that impressed me the least was the thinly sliced beef, which I found somewhat lacking in character.
The staff was warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, the service was quite slow at times, with long waits between certain courses, which slightly disrupted the flow of the meal.
That being said, the value for money is excellent, and despite the slow service, I will definitely return to explore more of their specialties.
09/03/2025: I went to Kappo Andō with my husband and had the tasting menu with a few add-ons. I added the bluefin tuna, yakitori, and crispy grilled chicken, along with a cocktail, sake, and a beer.
Everything was amazing and full of flavor. The food tasted incredibly authentic, instantly taking me back to all the times my husband and I have traveled around Japan.
The atmosphere was also super nice and cozy. I loved how you sit at the table omakase-style, watching the chefs work their magic.
As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. My favorite dish was the last one "trout with rice" where every flavor blended perfectly. The yakitori was also outstanding, and I’d highly recommend adding it. The grilled flavor of the chicken was insane, unlike anything you’d find elsewhere. Plus, you get to see the chef prepare it on a real yakitori grill.
For drinks, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had. My first cocktail, "The Rising Sun," was so good I could have drunk it nonstop. The combination of rhubarb and yuzu’s sweetness and sourness with the mild smokiness of the liquor was simply perfect. The sake I had was also excellent and paired beautifully with the food.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and we even had a few nice chats with the owner.
Remember to visit the bathroom for a nice surprise 😉
For fine dining and a Michelin-recommended restaurant, the price was actually very reasonable for what you got.
I would definitely recommend this place and might even come back for Yakitori Sunday!
