Lunch time small tasting menu. Incredible food and flavours, great wine and a real experience. If you like your food then try here, not cheap but very different to anything else in colchester and we should celebrate this.

Superb food and as good as any top end restaurant in London - Michelin stars must be due soon!

You could be forgiven for thinking a restaurant with a set menu and no choice would be a challenge but this was a truly memorable meal. Every single dish hit the mark with fantastic flavours. The starters were large bite size selections of three items , the duck liver , cherry and gingerbread was for me the highlight of the meal with three ingredients that I would normally avoid, it was sublime. We then worked our way through six main course dishes followed by two desserts , each distinctive but as a whole it was superb. The tasting menu is £80 but for what you pay in other restaurants the premium is definitely worth it . I could not fault anything ,best Colchester restaurant by a country mile

A superb meal and experience. My wife and I booked the chefs table last night for a birthday celebration and had a wonderful time. The staff were very welcoming, attentive and professional. The food was out of this world - complements to the chef as they say. A really well balanced and exciting taster menu, with flavours and pairings we had never had before. Look forward to returning again in the future. Thankyou Paul and Team

What an amazing place. Tucked away in Colchester, this is an absolute gem of a restaurant. We had the tasting menu and every course was an incredible experience. Interesting and delicious. Perfect quantities . A very talented and clever chef. So pleased to find somewhere in Essex that does food like this. What a treat - We will be back. Highly recommend

Well, where to start . . . Everything about this place was just amazing. The staff, everything perfectly timed. A well oiled machine, without doubt. We were made to feel welcome from the very start. Every course was explained. You got what was on the menu, but not necessarily in the way you would expect. Every course was so unbelievably different to what you'd expect, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back again. Kintsu is a one off in Colchester and deservedly so. We wish you all the very best and can only congratulate you on your success.

My favourite restaurant outside of London! Excellent meal with diligent service. Not cheap but great value for money.
Not sure where to begin - an experience we can't find anything to comment on room for improvement on! The food was absolutely delicious - we love the fact it's a set menu; you get to try out new things you might not have been keen to try if choosing (yet leave marking those as the best course, amazingly!), service was attentive yet relaxed so we never felt rushed at any point. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived (and we arrived earlier than booked), a birthday card was offered, wine was recommended for the courses we had, everyone was all smiles and willing to go above and beyond. A special visit and one we won't forget. We felt spoilt throughout and can't wait to return. Lovely atmosphere and what a pleasure it is to sit and listen to some classic songs, nothing pretentious at all. Thanks for making our visit one to remember for all the right reasons!

The best food in Colchester and Essex in my opinion.

Not value for money and the £56 service charge was higher than most places too! The service was very unfriendly. I am sorry this was my experience as it was a special occasion.

Not value for money, no atmosphere and service was robotic and condescending (considering the automatic 12.5% service charge). We've eaten better but for less in Dubai, London and Singapore!We'll not be back.
