The ambience it's pretty good, it's a small restaurant but all good. The service was very good and fast. The food amazing!

Good Sushi bar. Small, nice decor, quick, friendly service. Drinks are inexpensive but not alcohol-skimpy. Seating is comfortable. Food is delicious. We have been going to the place next door for many years, but they opened late. I guess that's where 'when you snooze, you lose,' comes from... read more

Food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and hot. They were very busy so we did have to wait about 30 mins for our to go order but worth the wait. Best Chinese food I've ever had! read more

Kintaro Sushi Bar - Sushi bar - Chinese Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

I used to come here when I lived in PR ages ago, and so happy they are still here! I was on the island for 5 days and ate twice here. The sushi is so fresh. I had the scallop sushi which was amazing and the spicy tuna roll one day. The next time I got the scallop again and the eel and avocado roll which was very good. I also ordered the egg drop soup and I have to say by far the best egg drop soup ever! I know it's simple but theirs is so tasty. Nice to see they keep the consistency. They do have valet parking as well. read more

Kintaro Sushi Bar - Here's what we ordered and paid... - Chinese Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

Free Valet parking was so nice, staff instantly stood out as nice and friendly. All the food was amazing, I am from New Jersey and this is the best Chinese I ever had. My party had Beef Lo Mein, Chicken and Broccoli , and The Tostones! I'm sorry, but these are the best on the island so far. Just Wow. The inside is small and nice for close groups. I sat in the front, might be more space in the back. My wife came here 18 years ago as a kid and it's still amazing! Incredible read more

Very friendly and attentive service and delicious food. Chicken fried rice and miso soup were excellent, sushi rolls very good.

Very solid Chinese-Japanese fusion restaurant. Gets pretty busy during the weekend, especially for dinner. The food can take a while at peak hours, but otherwise, it is fast and efficient. The Veggie Singapore Noodles is a very clean and tasty option for something light and healthy-ish. It's not too salty and perfect for a proper-sized dinner or if you want a lighter meal to leave room for dessert. There's a good amount of veggies in there so it's worth it. The rolls (forgot the name) were super tasty. The taste is as vibrant as the visuals. I'd definitely order the rolls again or try the other exotic options. Menu is quite large. Service was nice and efficient. I believe the crew here is Chinese, though hard to tell which dialect they are speaking. They were cordial, and spoke fluent Puerto Rican Spanish and some English. Pretty cool! Overall: Recommended. read more

I couldn't get through their phone to place my order. I had to order from other establishment, but I really wanted to eat from Kintaro. In pasts orders I have enjoyed their great dishes, such as San Juan roll, Spicy Tuna roll, Salmon pizza, Lo Mein and Miso soup. I'll keep trying. read more

Service: Very welcoming when you walk into the door, food did not take long at all to come out. Expect roughly 10-15 minutes for your entire order to arrive. The waiters constantly check up on you so you're never left in the blue. Food: The Spicy Tuna with Avocado Rolls was my least favorite out of the meal, it was dry and a bit tasteless. The sunshine roll on the otherhand, really outshined itself. The broccoli Beef was strong in flavor and absolutely delicious, as well as the fried rice. My favorite dish was the chicken Lo Mein. So good we had to order another plate! For drinks we ordered the passion fruit mojito with the regular amount of alcohol, very refreshing and you can barely taste the alcohol, but thats exactly how we wanted it so it worked out perfectly. Atmosphere: You feel very much welcomed throughout your entire meal, the decorations are spot on, and overall you feel very home-y here. Price: Very affordable! Your average prices per plate expect to pay $7 to $16 per plate for shareable amounts of food. Verdict: I definitely would not skip out on this hole in the wall gem. It's a must try if you're in the area. read more

Took the family to Kintaro for dinner last night because my daughter really wanted sushi. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated and there weren't many people within. Our drink requests were taken and since this was a Japanese restaurant, I ordered Japanese beer - Sapporo. We requested edamame as an appetizer and it was served steaming hot. It was delicious. For dinner my son requested orange chicken, which was served with tasty fried rice. I requested a sunshine roll, my wife the Puerto Rican roll, and my daughter a spider roll and a California roll. A little while later, our food was served. Everything tasted fresh and excellent. We loved the sushi and I also tasted my son's meal and it was delicious. Excellent! read more

I tried the picante yellowtail roll and the Boston roll, and both were great! I went for lunch on a Thursday and there was no wait.

Food was delicious and service was great! Kinda pricey (most rolls are 8 pieces) but at least the sushi was good. Never had sushi pizza before but I definitely recommend it. Would come here again read more

I wish I could give more stars! Quite possibly the best Chinese food we have ever had. I wasn't thrilled when my daughter chose Chinese for dinner, but the restaurant is very clean, the atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly and very attentive (probably the best we have experienced in PR). We started with crab rangoon (sorry, forgot to take a pic) and although there are only 4 small pieces, they were PACKED with crab rather than cheese as we find in the States. I ordered garlic chicken as they do not make kung pao (she didn't even know what it was) and could not have been more pleased. There were pieces of garlic in the sauce and the chicken was sooo juicy. My daughter had teriyaki chicken and wanted to order another plate. All in all, I could not recommend more highly!! read more

Small restaurant with good service but terrible sushi. Nigiri fish was old, dry and tasteless. I left most of it on the plate. California roll was bland. We suspect that the chef was not a trained sushi chef, as fish slices and rolls were crudely cut. Gross food at high prices. Don't recommend. read more

After discovering that my 24 hour hang-out spot in Isla Verde is no more (RIP El Taquito), I needed a new late night place to feed my face. Boyfriend and I stumbled on Kintaro. As soon as we walked up, there was someone waiting at the door to welcome us. I was astounded at how cheerful the staff was at 2:30 in the morning. I was even more impressed that this place did not look or feel like your average after-hours spot: crawling with loud, drunk people and other kind of foolishness. Instead, it was a calm and relatively quiet atmosphere, with a considerable number of other diners present given the late hour. Guess we weren't the only ones in need of a late night sushi fix. We ordered sushi pizza and shumai shrimp dumplings to start. The dumplings were great. The sushi pizza was... interesting. It was an appetizer-plate sized disk of fried tempura, topped with spicy tuna and drizzled with tempura sauce. Boyfriend liked it; me, not so much. We also had an Alaska roll (smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado) and a San Juan roll (tempura shrimp and cream cheese topped with fried plantain). I'd never had fried plantain on a sushi roll before but DAMMIT IT WAS GOOD!! Be advised that if you ask for water, you will be served bottled water (because the tap water in Puerto Rico is NASTY!) at $2.50 a pop. No big deal, but nobody told us this when we asked our waitress for 2 glasses of water. read more

Parking is tough to find but they offer free valet parking. The staff was friendly and attentive even during the obviously stressful time they were having. For an appetizer we ordered the seafood spring rolls, which I would not call spring rolls since they were deep fried. It mostly just tasted like an egg roll covered in a sweet and creamy sauce. For our entrees we ordered the orange chicken, sesame chicken, and cashew chicken and all with fried rice. The fried rice was like any standard Asian buffet place. The cashew chicken was bland and uninspiring. But the orange and sesame chicken were the worst. First off, their sauces were nearly indistinct. The sesame sauce had a slightly more soy flavor and the orange sauce had a slightly more citrus flavor. I say slightly because this was barely noticeable. We could have swapped orders and not known the difference if it weren't for the fact that the sesame chicken was sprinkled with sesame seeds. Secondly, the chicken was awful. I'm not exaggerating. It was tough and chewy like it sat under a heat lamp all day. The sauce and chicken together reminded me of a really bad batch of chicken wings. Maybe we came on an off day or maybe the sushi menu is better. But I think this place is far over-rated and the high reviews are misguided. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. I gave one extra star for the front employees working hard and staying friendly. read more

As a African American woman I do not recommend this restaurant. We came into the restaurant and the lady waitress rudely pointed us to a table and then placed menus on it and walked away. She came back 15 minutes later and rudely asked us what do we want to order. As we sat in the restaurant waiting on our food we noticed that the waitress was alot more pleasant and engaged with the other patrons. 35 minutes later she came back to our table for the first time and brought our food. She then attempted to walk off quickly without acknowledging our table. At this time we were aggravated by the blatant disrespect and ignorance we requested to go boxes and our food and left. Please show respect to all of your patrons because they are all spending hard earned money at your establishment! I will not refer any of my friends and family traveling into San Juan to this establishment in the future! read more

Amazing Asian food in town. Staff was very caring. Everything we ordered was delicious. From soup to the rolls. We walked in and we were seated right away. Since we were out of town and we parked next door and were asked to move our car but the staff from Kintaro assisted us and helped us find a parking. Would definitely come back. read more

Best gyoza ever, the sushi in the other hand was just good 7/10 it didn't really justify its price specially while being serve on disposable plates. The Chinese food was great, not the best you will ever have but good enough to finish the whole thing. I Would recommend getting the tuna sushi pizza. Drinks were good 8.5/10 read more

Kintaro Sushi Bar - Chicken lo mein & beef fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

Good sushi rolls for a place open late. They do close around midnight though it says 4am. Good portions, fresh fish, and fast service.

We walked here from our hotel for a quick dinner, craving something other than heavy Puerto to an food. The menu was quite expansive. We ordered hot sake and a lychee martini, both good. We got a seaweed salad and shrimp dumplings for an app, bot on par with other mid range sushi places. We ordered a couple rolls and some sashimi. The sashimi was fresh-tasting and decently sized. All our rolls were good. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating. Would highly recommend if in the hotel zone if San Juan. read more

Found this place after finding the sushi place next door was closed. Best happy accident of our trip! The service was great, very kind and speedy! The restaurant is small and cozy but we got seats and drinks right away. The two sushi rolls we got were so much better than the sushi back home. Definitely recommend and I hope we can go again before we leave. read more

Excellent servers! The interior was beautiful but the music selection was sad breakup songs and the occasional panic at the disco. The food was pricey for the quality. The fried rice was bland. The tofu was delicious, but the chicken portion size was small for the price. Overall, I would not recommend. read more

The two experiences I had with them have been excellent! The first was with a friend, the second was by myself. Got Garlic Chicken both times with fried rice and was so good each time! Incredibly fresh ingredients, you can just tell. My friend got the Yaki Udon and loved it, but said it would have been nicer if the portion were slightly larger. Otherwise I'll definitely be returning the next time I come to Puerto Rico. read more

Love the staff.. Small place but very nice They make very STRONG drinks The sushi was fresh and was brought out fast I'll be back for sure read more

Food was good- run by a hard working Chinese family. Speedy and portions were ok. Sushi roll combinations were innovative but man, what's with all the rolls with fried components, and cheese? On last count almost half the rolls have CC (cream cheese) in them. Oh my sore dairy intolerant stomach... My pet peeve, per uploaded photo, is any restaurant who pre- add tip (of which they do here). I get it if it was a group reservation, and we took a lot of space... But I ate by myself. At the sushi bar. I should be given a choice. Bottom line: pretty good dinner spot in among land of chain or fast food places, but disagree with the billing system read more

Kintaro Sushi Bar - Pet peeve: tip already added on the bill. Get it if it was a large group... But I ate by myself - Chinese Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

The Kintaro is a smallish, cafe style sushi bar, situated about 10 mins walk away from The El San Juan hotel. As you walk in the door, you are acknowledged but not particularly warmly greeted by the waiters. You are then directed to the nearest empty table and the menu is hurtled in your general direction. The order is taken and we're not sure if we've ordered too much or too little, as the waiter seems totally non communicative, although not in a nasty way. We order spiced salmon sushi, Teriyaki beef, chicken satay, special fried rice, prawn tempura amongst others and everything was jolly tasty. Price works out about $36 pp with a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Not the place to visit for a romantic Saturday night out with somebody else's wife but well worth a visit for the food and entertaining service. read more
