Freaking delicious 😋 lovely place to visit with that someone special. Intamit seating as well as open floor steating. when you walk in, you will have to stand in line and take turns to place your order at the register, but the line goes fast. my dish had the perfect amount of chili but it won’t burn your mouth. 😆

I hope it was just an off day… But I’m not going to come back to find out. Let me start with - I was starving! And I don’t know about yall, but normally food when I’m that hungry is amazing. However, we did not experience the same things as many others have in this review section. The only flavor we tasted in the miso, chicken broth, tantanmen, and tonkotsu broths was SALT. It was extremely salty, flavor was lacking.. The miso broth looked just like the chicken broth.. Only reason I think there may have been a bit of miso is because I saw miso paste on the edge of the bowl.. I’ll share the miso and chicken broth and you can take a stab at guessing which is which. I bet if I added the tantanmen broth in it, you wouldn’t be able to distinguish the three. Another issue was as we placed our order, the cashier addressed everyone in line and said they’ll be on a waitlist and they can have a seat while they waited if they wanted. Which wouldn’t have been an issue, but now they’re occupying seats, no food ordered, just waiting. Which left us to wait for a seat even though we had already ordered.

Food was amazing, ordered a Katsudon Donburi with the spicy house sauce and was not disappointed. Service was a little slow, but nothing too egregious. Atmosphere was also great and any anime fan will feel right at home. All in all, would recommend 9/10.

The ramen was good, different from others around the city! The ladies working were really helpful and attentive as for it was our first time here, even brought out some Endame for us to have, much appreciated! We will be back to try other dishes.
Fact Speaker
On the side of this building where this restaurant is located, there is a writing on the wall that says “support local”. So true! I encourage anyone to seek out local businesses and Kimura is one of those places that deserve a chance for your time & money. Contrast to the outside, the inside decor resembles traditional Japanese ramen shops. The ambience is on point and the food is equally fantastic. From popular Tonkotsu ramen to Rice Bowls, every option is delicious and a must try. This restart is the perfect place to dine in groups. The only negative critique is the parking. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant, so if you get there during rush hour you may have to park somewhere else. Despite that, I found no other flaws when I dined there.
