Kansha – Where the Logo Says ‘Chinese’ but the Vibe Says ‘Japanese’
Just tried Kansha in Gading Serpong, and let me say, I’m still a bit confused. The logo is a Chinese character for “Gan Xie” (thank you in Chinese), yet this place is all about Japanese food! But hey, maybe they’re going for that fusion confusion?
The seating is limited to just 16 people, so it’s a cozy spot. The decor is minimal yet on point, capturing a clean, Japanese vibe.
Service was alright—no real complaints, but there’s definitely room for improvement. A bit more kindness and attentiveness from the staff would go a long way.
Now, onto the food: • Chicken Nanban Taishoku Set & Chicken Katsu Taishoku Set: These dishes were simplicity at its finest. No frills, but well-executed and priced just right. The miso soup had a lovely depth, thanks to the red miso, and the Agedashi Tofu was a standout! The Onsen egg was a touch too sweet for my taste, and the rice could use an upgrade to Japanese short-grain for a more authentic feel. • Truffle Croquette: This was outstanding. The truffle aroma was subtle but there, with a perfect creamy texture inside.
Overall, I’d give Kansha a 4 out of 5. It’s a solid spot with some room for improvement, and I’ll be keeping an eye out to see how they evolve.
