About KINOTO Japanese Restaurant

Run by a warm husband-and-wife duo beside Robina station, this unpretentious joint dishes out comforting, wallet-friendly Japanese staples far away from crowded mall food courts. Regulars drop in for generous lunchtime sets anchored by golden chicken nanban drizzled in tangy, house-made tartar sauce or crispy chicken karaage. Plates arrive fast and hearty—often surprisingly flanked by steamed rice, dressed salad, and crunchy hot chips. Tender teriyaki tofu, steaming bowls of miso soup, and freshly sliced sushi rolls keep the steady daytime crowd fed and happy.

  • Off-Strip Station Setting: Tucked quietly beside Robina train station, offering relaxed seating away from hectic shopping center food courts.
  • Rice, Salad & Chips Combo: Hot lunchtime plates come generously paired with steamed rice, fresh dressed salad, and crunchy potato chips.
  • Homestyle Lunch Sets: Crispy chicken nanban topped with scratch-made tartar sauce, served alongside comforting bowls of miso soup.

The Kinoto Advantage

Why diners choose this Robina Japanese staple for fast midday breaks, homestyle classics, and stress-free dining

  • Substantial, Budget-Friendly Lunch Specials

    Midday specials arrive fast and pack generous portions of favorites like chicken karaage, teriyaki, or chicken nanban alongside rice, dressed salad, and complimentary miso soup.

    Cheap price with reasonable portions, chicken Karaage were good but a bit not crispy enough, and the salad, rice and soup were quite good as well!

  • Generous Combinations with Rice and Chips

    Plates break traditional conventions by serving crunchy fries and hot chips right alongside steamed rice and crisp fresh salad.

    I also love that this restaurant gives you a salad, rice AND CHIPS with your meal! It's a huge meal and definitely good for us when we didn't have lunch.

  • Homestyle Japanese Recipes Made from Scratch

    Classic dishes like chicken nanban feature homemade tartar sauce and balanced seasoning that skips heavy, salty commercial marinades in favor of wholesome vegetables.

    The tartare sauce is home made. Salad is fresh and the chips are crunchy. Highly recommend!!

  • Intimate Mum-and-Dad Kitchen Craft

    Operated as a cosy mum-and-dad restaurant, the owners bring personal care and attentive hospitality to every made-to-order plate.

    This is a little mum & dad shop that serves Japanese food styles you will not find in flashy restaurants.

  • Calm Haven Away from Crowded Food Courts

    Situated right by Robina train station, Kinoto provides a peaceful, easy-access alternative to noisy, crowded shopping mall food courts.

    we were shopping at Pac Fair & we weren’t too keen on packed food court food so we drove a quick 5min to this lovely restaurant!

  • Convenient Commuter-Friendly Station Location

    Its convenient position next to commuter transit and local amenities makes it an effortless stop for grab-and-go rolls or a quick sit-down meal.

    An hidden gem. We stumbled upon this Japanese restaurant. Hidden near the Robina station.

Signature Japanese comfort dishes and satisfying lunch sets crafted with homestyle care

  • Chicken Nanban

    I order Chicken Nanban Lunch Special and it doesn't disappoint me at all! Great Value for money...not too mention so delicious.

  • Chicken Karaage

    We had chicken nanben and chicken karaage, both were delicious.

    Patrick Lai

  • Teriyaki Tofu

    The soup was fantastic and the teriyaki tofu likewise. Flavours that dance on the tongue without ever leaving a heel mark.

    Shaun Ashcroft

  • Sushi Rolls

    My favourite food item would probably be the sushi rolls. They were made fresh and were delicious. Those were a 10/10!
