Step Into Kantina – A Fusion of Flavor 🍽️
At Kantina, we believe great food doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be good. Our story starts with Chef Chris Holland, a 3-time Food Network Chopped Champion 🏆, who’s always been passionate about combining the bold flavors of Asia and Latin America. From our kitchen to your table, we bring together dishes inspired by the best of Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, and Latin cuisines.
From Inspiration to Reality: Our Founding ✨
Located in the historic Depot Square in Sparkill, NY 🏙️, Kantina was born out of Chef Chris’s love for simple, hearty food that brings people together. The Japanese phrase “dumplings over flowers” perfectly sums up our approach. It’s about the food that fills you up and makes you feel good, not just looks good. We aim to offer authentic dishes that are satisfying, with a fresh twist that reflects our cultural blend. 🍜🌮
A Unique Culinary Experience 🍴
Our menu is where two worlds collide, offering a blend of Asian small plates and Latin tacos. Think Korean short rib tacos, pork dumplings, and other mouthwatering creations. Chef Chris puts his personal touch on each dish, making them unforgettable and exciting. It’s not just about eating; it’s about experiencing a new way to enjoy flavors. 🤩
