This is a family owned business that was founded in 2009, in Tacoma, Washington. Eddie and Sophia Lee are naturally gifted in the kitchen. While Eddie brings his sushi skills front and center, his wife Sophia had other ideas in mind upon founding Kinja. The previous owners of the building had served only sushi, but the Lee family was determined to bring greater culture to the area. They diversified, melding Japanese and Korean flavors. Four years later, they expanded into the heart of Spokane, where they have quickly built a very faithful customer base. Sophia has even been known to tackle the special orders of customers.
What We Ordered at Kinja Korean & Japanese Restaurant
River and Terran didn’t opt to go ‘off menu’. Instead they offered some of the restaurant’s specialties:
Spicy Stir Fried Rice Cake (Ttok-Bo-Ki)
Korean rice cake stir fried with sweet potato noodles, cabbage, carrot and onion in a spicy red chili sauce.
Mixed Vegetables with Beef on Rice, Topped with Egg (Bi-Bim-Bap)
Seasoned mixed vegetables with soy and sesame oil seasoned beef on rice, topped with egg. Traditional Korean chili pepper paste served separately.
Seafood Pancake (Hae-Mool-Pa-Jun)
“It has a good ambiance, but we found it funny that the music playing wasn’t Korean. There are lots of neat pictures all around the restaurant. You can look at their website as they have a gallery of plates of food to see what their food looks like.” – Terran & River.
