Kissa Tanto Vancouver Reviews
Michelin 1 star, really??
I was so looking forward to our dinner at this Michelin 1 Kissa Tanto on Saturday night. It was the most disappointing meal we have had in a very long time, with or without a Michelin designation. The omakaze experience was terrible - simple, primi
Had a great time and meal.
It is a little loud but they sat us in a corner where we could hear each other. I was surprised at how large the space was. They greet you at the door when they open and everyone files in. Each meal was great. Loved the udon dish, wagyu, and my pink
worth the hype
Worth the hype. Very good service and the food was really remarkable although do expect additions to the menu that make the choice a bit harder....would come again for sure. Very much appreciated an early 5p reservation which is often not available a

I was really looking forward to my birthday dinner at Kissa Tanto after seeing all the delicious photos online. I booked a reservation about a month in advance. Initially tried for a later time but those were gone, so definitely plan ahead. The rest

I was hesitant about this place because of the less-than-great reviews but this restaurant has become one of the most memorable restaurants in Vancouver for me and my boyfriend. I had booked the $200 Omakase Experience as a surprise dinner for my b
Interesting
Kissa Tanto is in Chinatown, in an otherwise regular looking area. We chose to get the Omakase, which is kind of subjective because the server tells you it starts at 155CAD and you can upgrade it. You feel a little pushed to get the 'special
Unsafe restaurant location
Don't go, you may not be safe. Our first stop in Vancouver for a family meal was Kissa Tanto. Reservation was made months in advance based on the fantastic reviews. We arrived early and the maitre-d said our table was not ready, but we could go
The drinks were good but far too expensive.
Food was below average for a high end restaurant. - octopus salad: croutons were powdery, and some bits of octopus were overcooked and slightly rubbery - carne crud: cheese crackers didn't go well with it (fine by itself), and it was completely

One of Vancouver's best restaurants, the winner of a Michelin star, with a novel concept - Japanese/Italian fusion - that was a spectacular meal. Came by myself, ate at the bar, and enjoyed a nice set of fantastic dishes - the only miss, for me,
Delicious food and excellent service
We received excellent hospitality and service. The fried stuffed olives and the salad were tasty. The fried fish was delicious.
Asian-Italian fusion is not a pairing you see every day so
Asian-Italian fusion is not a pairing you see every day so I knew I had to try this place out. I came here with a group of 6 and we had to do the omakase. This is not the type of omakase I had in mind. What they mean is that they will give you 6 c
One of the more relaxed Michelin experiences.
Very friendly staff and fun experiences. JR our server was fun, relatable, yet professional. Sotting at the bar is a great experience in my opinion- you get to connect with the staff if you're into that. A5 wagyu and the truffle pasta were my tw
3/5
Omakase was not worth it: 200 CAD was more than I would have paid if I had chosen similar dishes a la carte. Dishes were very beautiful, but the tastes were not elaborated enough for the price level. And the attitude was pretentious. If you want high
Absolutely and uniquely delicious.
Now one of my favorite spots in Vancouver. The service was amazing, the drinks were a must, and the food was so unique. A Japanese and Italian fusion concerned me at first but my opinion was completely changed upon receiving our first dish. And every

I was excited to try this place but was sorely disappointed.
We went with the Omakase dinner (they get you to choose a range $150-$300 per person and we decided to go with around $200/person). The first two dishes, the olives and the octopus tased like they were deep fried in pork fat and had a very offensive
I treated my wife to a weekend getaway in Vancouver.
The overall purpose was seeing a friend play on a Sunday night in East Van. The night I also booked us at Kissa Tanto. The original star restaurant/treat for my wife was to be our Saturday night outing, But Kissa Tanto surprised and treated us to a
Italian-Japanese?! WORKS!!
This meal was absolutely incredible!! Different from your typical Michelin constructed plated meals but more of a “homemade” experience! They served us a omelette at a Michelin star and it was incredible! Service was good. Drinks were tasty! Roo

Sorry, only "okay"
The restaurant is very pretentious and staff acts very entitled. Understandable, perhaps, with a Michelin star to their name. They have a very short printed menu. The server sort of brushed it aside to tell us about the Omakase experience. There w

Always a fantastic experience. Great room, fabulous service, fantastic food and beverage. A definite favorite in Vancouver.

Don't be fooled by the Michelin star.
..not worth the $200+ cost because after cocktails and wine, it's $400 per person. This is not a Japanese restaurant fusion because it is mainly Italian. I would say that it would be on to pass on Kissa Tanto. There are much, much better restauran

WOW. Worth the journey. My friend and I have been wanting to go here for a while, but reservations can be pretty tricky to get, and the logistics for me to travel from Seattle to Vancouver further make this a much rarer opportunity that was worth the
East side Vancouver top diner.
Really great food from a menu that is anything but conventional. None of the dishes that I had were familiar to me and all of them were super tasty.
Kissa Tanto..........Good bye.
this place is a joke. I have been trying to book a reservation for my daughter by phone or buy a Gift Card on their website for 5 days. Finally connected with the General Mgr and told him of this, and the guy could not have been more rude. All I was
Hidden Gem in Chinatown Vancouver
Service, friendliness, staff knowledge of menu and wine excellent. The Wagyu Crude was Superb. Sadly the whole market fish was not as enjoyable and the Daikon Radish in cold broth while well presented was an odd flavour. I think we would have enjoy

Interesting and provoking cuisine with very good and attentive staff. The room is small but intimate. Well put without being over the top. Food is the stand out without a doubt. My favorite was the udon.
I am not sure why this restaurant has less that 5 stars.
. Absolutely generous I have been here over a dozen of times and besides my bread being slightly overtoasted in Tonno Montecato have never gotten disappointed. The service is great, they all look very aware, presentable and clean. The manager is alwa
Best meal I've ever had, hands down.
Still dreaming about the beef cheek pasta purses and it's been almost a year. Hoping we're going back for my birthday. The service was white glove but still felt casual. If you've ever been to Papas Bros in Dallas, that was the level of service. It w

A good friend got us a reservation at this lovely and wonderful Michelin-star restaurant, and we enjoyed everything so much. We got a table by the window, and ordered some pretty non-alcoholic drinks. The wait staff was friendly, prompt and well-info
UGH Kissa Tanto is SO good.
There are just so many elements of cooking and taste that were so memorable to me that I actively fantasize about. Me and my partner were seated as walk-ins but be sure to get there early because there are other people vying for seats as well and you

Kissa Tanto was highly raved about by a friend so when I was coming to town I had to make sure this was the first spot I made a reservation for. It's a little unassuming trying to find the place as you have to walk upstairs and enter this cute space

Wow oh WOW! Ate here for an early Valentine's Day dinner and boy were we amazed. First of all, service was amazing, our server was very informative, explained all the dishes for us and gave us recommendations. The food was insanely delicious, flavour
The service was exceptional, the prices were good as well.
The place is a little small but pretty comfy. It had a dark room lighting so not ideal for pics haha the food was great! The pasta options were very good, and the fish was great as well. Overall I'd come back here again!
Experience ruined by surly server Chloe
Food was very good. However, the dining experience was ruined by our surly and curt server Chloe who began by rather loudly carding my son when he ordered a cocktail and demanded, not one, but two pieces of ID from him to cross reference. Never had
The food was just "ok" for the prices charged.
The only dish that was relatively tasty was the carne cruda. Everything else we ordered (Tonno Mantecato, charcoal udon, magnet duck breast, lemon dessert (Costco pound cake was more moist)) was just okay. The location of the restaurant was not in
Everything I ate was mediocre.
The Tobiko toast was interesting but overall the food wasn't great. Service and ambiance was fantastic.

Five stars all around!!! Incredible service, food and ambience. We got resos at the bar which was fun because we got to watch all the cocktails being made in front of us. Every bartender and server was very attentive and the vibe was really relaxed a
Lost Charm and Inflexibility

Connect with users posting reservations for Kissa Tanto Vancouver
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kissa Tanto Vancouver. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kissa Tanto Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kissa Tanto Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Kissa Tanto Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kissa Tanto Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
