About this place
Kanmi-en is a welcoming Korean eatery in Kita-Senju where tables frequently center around golden-brown, freshly griddled pancakes and flavorful pork dishes. The extensive jeon lineup spans seafood and green scallion varieties alongside chive, perilla leaf, clam, and kimchi versions, giving diners plenty of ways to start a meal.
Heartier mains include moist, sliced bossam and braised trotters, as well as a generous samgyeopsal set that comes complete with sanchu lettuce, scallion salad, garlic, and kimchi. Portions are substantial, making it ideal for groups looking to share several dishes across the table. Small plates such as seasoned changja cod entrails and crunchy kkakdugi complement bubbling bowls of sundubu jjigae and spicy yukgaejang soup.
The beverage list covers an appealing range of Korean favorites, including draft makgeolli, bottled varieties flavored with pear or black bean, corn silk tea highballs, and assorted sour cocktails. For those abstaining from alcohol, chilled Korean soft drinks like pear juice and sweet sikhye provide refreshing alternatives.
The dining room is especially lively in the evening, with seating largely arranged around tables that seat 4. Booking ahead or checking table availability in advance is recommended when visiting with a group.
