Had the pleasure of checking out Kimono Japanese Restaurant. Typical Hibachi style cooking with sushi you can order as well. Parking wasn't hard but it wasn't easy, the lot is small. Once in we had to wait for a bit once we were seated but it wasn't too bad. The food was good and the ambiance was up and fun. Def a good place for a group if you haven't tried hibachi.
Kimono is a family friendly restaurant. The food was delicious and the servers was great! It was my first time at a Benihana style restaurant and it was a great experience! We had a six course meal. It starts with a soup, then salad, then there's cooked vegetables, fried rice (or you can order steam rice) your choice of protein, then dessert! The only downside was that we had a reservation at 8 and they seated us at 8:20. They started cooking on the griddle an hour later. Besides that, it was a fun experience!
Kimono is a family favorite for birthday celebrations. Great for large groups to sit around a teppanyaki grill and we are always paired with a fun and entertaining chef. It's like having a meal and a show! Beef Julienne and Teppan Shrimp is a must try!
Quick cook top service The bathrooms were very nice...seemed recently updated No bar drink or sodas as something is malfunctioning but I did get a single serve chandon..which worked just fine. My husband had the Fire Teppan Chicken- the sauce was delicious. I had my favorite Kaito Kaito. I had some extra garlic butter and Chilli paste to accompany everything. Enjoyed supper.
Been here a couple times before and after a few years coming back they were still able to make the Bloody Mary meal I've had years ago. I would say if you would like to try it's, you can definitely request it even with it off the menu. We came by for an event close by and I wanted to revisit this location because of the food and service. The prices have gone up since the last time I had been here but the amount of food still seemed reasonable for what we ordered. I highly suggest the lunch menu but after 3 when lunch is over I would say take the tables where they cook for you to enjoy a little entertainment while you dine.
