context_page_description: Kissa Tanto is an Italian-Japanese fusion restaurant in the Chinatown neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The 80-seat restaurant, which opened in June 2016, is located on the second floor of 263 E Pender St. Its name comes from the Japanese word kissa, referring to the jazz cafes of 1960s Tokyo, and Italian tanto, meaning "a lot" or "so much". Kissa Tanto is co-owned by restaurateur Tannis Ling, executive chef Joël Watanabe, and sous chef Alain Chow, all of whom were involved with Chinese brasserie Bao Bei, also in Chinatown. Since its launch, Kissa Tanto has garnered positive reviews for its romantic, retro-styled design philosophy and innovative menu.
