    I was able to get a table with no wait during the week but it filled up very quickly so I think I got lucky. The service was good and the drinks were great. Food was also delicious I really enjoyed the skewers and the roe noodles. The steamed egg was 15 mins but was pretty good and worth it especially if still drinking.

    Delicious!! Had such a nice time and the staff was so kind. Such a cozy spot to eat on a rainy day!

    Hotpot is what they're known for! I really enjoyed the collagen nabe. Tried their kiss of fire roll. It was nothing extraordinary. Also, tried their skewer combo (scallop, salmon and chicken/scallion). These were ok too. I would come back for the hotpot for sure

    Had a great time celebrating a coworkers birthday here at Kimura. Was a large group so got to get a ton of things to try. First thing we got may have been my fav, conveniently called Addictive Cabbage it really was addictive like wow I just couldnt stop it was so good. I also looooved the meatballs the marinade was super flavorful. Other appetizer options were pretty tasty as well, the takoyaki was soft and sweet, gyoza were large, and chicken skewers were delish. Split a shabu shabu hot pot which was pretty good, all the meat and toppings were nice but I wasnt really tasting much of the broth! Loved the sauces that came with it. Also don't sleep on the yuzu hot sauce thats on the tables that stuff was fire.

    Such a warm and toasty option on a single digit degree day! I've been before years ago and managed to get seated at that same exact table by chance haha. We started with the chawanmushi, which they say takes 20 min to make, and the agedashi tofu. Both were pretty good and satisfying - I wouldn't say extremely flavorful but subtle as they should be. For some reason both nabes too EXTREMELY long to come lol a table was seated and got theirs long before us and we had finished our appetizers for a while. They came by and said sorry so they must have forgot? And then 10 minutes later the nabes came. They are really decent portions but I don't know if I just got full already from waiting for so long. I love the collagen nabe, the broth was really collagen packed and after reheating my leftovers, was still so good! Overall it's really bustling and cozy, and so good in the winter!

    If you're looking for a slightly upscale hot pot cozy vibe, Kimura is IT. Kimura has been on my list for awhile, but I haven't been able to try it until recently. It was a cold day, making it perfect for this meal. My friend and I ordered the shabu shabu pot for 2. I'm used to cooking everything myself, but was so pleasantly surprised when they brought our bowl out, overflowing with veggies and meat, and said to leave it and that they'd be back to cook it in 10 minutes. As the self assigned 'cooker' in hot pot dinners, it was so nice to just be able to catch up with my friend knowing that I wouldn't have to do any of the actual cooking in the pot. They also make two sauces for you to eat with the food. After our waiter came back to mix everything together, it created a delicious and lovely soup. Cannot emphasize enough how great it was in comparison to the insanely cold weather we've been having. My only qualm with the soup is that toward the end, it gets really really salty. Could be unavoidable, but it was just disappointing because I wanted to drink some soup. What brings this to 5 stars was actually the dessert. We got a matcha almond jelly tart, and oh my god I've been dreaming about her. It's mostly a jello texture, but then in the center there's this creamy pudding that is everything and more. I could eat 10 of them.

    I stopped into this restaurant to get some lunch! When I arrived I found parking close by. I walked into a small restaurant. I ordered with the wonderful owner the: Kubota Koju Sake Old Fashioned Scallop Skewers Karaoke & Wings Kimchi Beef Fried Rice Shabu Shabu with ramen The sake was great and I also loved their version of the hot pot with the ramen! It was a good experience!

    pork belly nabe
    Irene C.

    Food is gassss here - the hotpots are an absolute must. We got the pork belly nabe with miso flavoring which tasted so clean and flavorful. Broth is hearty and while there's not a ton of meat, it is really good. The yaki don was also really flavorful and made for a good contrast from the hotpot. Loved the way they cooked their mushrooms in this dish.

    Kimura might just be my favorite restaurant on the St. Marks Place strip now. They are known for their heartwarming hot pots, but they also have sushi, apps, rice and noodles! I ordered the below: Karaage & Wing Combo Yakitori Combo (Chicken Meatballs, Shrimp, Scallop) + Salmon Mentai Mushroom Trio Udon (Stir-Fried Noodle) Porkbelly Nabe Shabu Shabu (U.S. Wagyu beef) The yakitori had so much flavor and was grilled perfectly! My personal fav was the chicken meatball. The noodles also had a lot of mentaiko in them and different mushrooms. The nabe however blew me away. You can pick your broth and we went with their classic standard option which was perfect. The nabe is portioned for 1, but you can ask for a portion for 2 or more people if you have a bigger party. Same goes for the Shabu Shabu, which does have a 2 person minimum. It was seriously what I needed during this weather and the service was 10/10. The workers cook the hot pots for you and pour it into individuals bowls. I also recommend getting white rice on the side to eat it with!

    5/5 experience. I didn't realize Japanese hot pot could be this good???!! The beef quality is outstanding, and the à la carte dishes are just as delicious, the tuna crackers are a must-order. Service is quick and very friendly; they cook everything for you and even serve it into your bowl, i just sat there and enjoyed the food haha

    St. marks have always attracted a good crowd and Kimura has been here for a long long time! When you walk in, you can already smell deliciousness and it shows with almost every table with a burner and a pot of food to share. Kimura is known for their nabes and sukiyakis, where they vary in proteins and flavor profiles. But all contain a warm, hearty bowl of meat and veggies in a savory broth. So of course, we had to order the pork belly nabe! So I'm going to describe it just in case anyone else have the same questions we did. For the pork belly nabe, you are able to order it for yourself, however if you order for 2 or 3 people to share, the size of the hotpot changes. That's why you'll see different size pots on different tables. The size of the pot is proportional to how many servings you pay for. In my picture, it shows a serving size for 3 (both wider and taller pot than for a serving of 1 or 2). For the large pot, it does take about 20 minutes to boil in front of you before you can start eating. The staff do monitor it closely and will mix it for you in between those 20 minutes to make sure everything is thoroughly cooked. When it's ready, they bring small bowls and serve you the first time, then it's up to you and your party to self serve. They bring an extra pair of wooden chopsticks and wooden ladle for serving. In terms of taste, it's pretty homey- if that makes sense. Like pork bones simmered for a while. They also come in the side with a sesame oil - garlic sauce, soy sauce, yuzu sauce, and chili oil. Loved the chili oil! You mix the sauces yourself to create a dipping sauce so create a mix that matches your preferred flavor profile! Collectively the only gripe we had is that there wasn't enough meat and tofu, and there was an abundance of cabbage. If we had to guess, half the pot was cabbage. So we didn't end up finishing it all. Overall though, we enjoyed the service and our dinner!

    Pork belly nabe
    Clara S.

    We were craving some hot Japanese hotpot on a fairly cold day, so we decided to come to Kimura. We sat in the covered outdoor area in the back, and it was definitely a vibe-- it almost felt like we were in an izakaya in Japan! Service was fast and very friendly. - Pork belly nabe: 8/10 (yummy but definitely on the salty side) - Nigiri: 8/10 (decent nigiri-- not omakase-level, but still very fresh) - Sake: 10/10 Overall, Kimura is definitely a good option if you're craving some hotpot on a cold day. I think I slightly prefer Hakata Tonton in midtown, but Kimura was still very good!

    Trio carpaccio
    Stephanie L.

    This place is a lot bigger than it looks. If you can, try to sit in the beautiful "outdoor" area with AC in the back. Takes me back to Japan with the nice interior. The trio carpaccio was super fresh. Pork belly nabe was $28 pp but they gave a very generous amount of pork belly. We were both extremely full by the end of our meal. Service was good; they help mix your nabe and serve it to you to make sure you don't burn yourself. They also refill the garlic/chili oil/soup upon asking.

They are fairly strict with their dining time period as it is busy. Be sure to book a reservation. Their menu is fairly large with plenty of appetizers as well as hot and cold udon options (note: this is a udon spot, not ramen). I got their kanimaze (cold) and their tantan (hot) and both were delicious. The kanimaze was refreshing and full of flavor. And the tantan was rich, comforting, and warm. Their shrimp tempura and agedashi were also great. Lightly fried and not too greasy. Would love to come back to try their other options.

It was a pleasant surprise to see that they expanded into the adjacent storefront. Now there's 4-5 booths and a bar table. The annex matches the interior design of their Soho and Midtown location and feels clean and spacious. Service was a bit slow from the hostess to the server. We ordered: small chicken tatsuta-age, niku udon, kamonan udon, assorted mushroom udon, green tea tiramisu, souffle fruit roll, soba pudding. Appreciate how big the chunks of meat are used for fried chicken. The exterior was a bit overfried but the interior stayed Broth and udon aligns with their Soho location which makes me more willing to come to this location moving forward. The assorted mushroom is seasonal. It's a nice lighter cleaner option but at the same time the mushrooms don't add much flavor. Kamonan is the duck which I chose because duck is a less common meat option around. I felt that the duck was a bit tough and bland yet also added too much oil into the clean broth (relatively to me). Niku is an OG but I haven't had it in a while. This time I was surprised how the marinate is light resulting in stronger meat flavor. I wish it would be more tender but it's alright. Desserts were more disappointing to me. I used to go to Patisserie Fouet frequently before they shut down the Union Square location. Green tea tiramisu had strong matcha soaks but I found the overall dessert to be a bit bland. The soaked sponge was a bit too wet too. Souffle fruit roll was huge, better to share with others especially after already eating savory food beforehand. I think it's intentional for the cake to be so dense. It came out really smooth but way too dense to feel like a dessert. I think I would eat this as breakfast instead. The raspberry sauce's tartness and punchiness is much needed otherwise I don't know if I can finish it. Soba pudding is my usual favorite and it stands up to the test of time. Still super smooth and with wheaty depth.

But at last, as I searched on DoorDash I stumbled upon this glorious restaurant they call Izakaya Fuku. I was drawn to the adorable names for their sushi roll dishes like "Strawberry Fields" and their Italian Japanese fusion pasta dishes, "Creamy Mentaiko Bacon Pasta" with creamy mayonnaise, spicy cod roe and bacon like are you kidding me? It's a bummer I wasn't more hunger or that I didn't have more bucks in my wallet because I wanted all these dishes. And the Chirashi Don, god it looks so beautiful the way that it's arranged in the photos online. I finally decided on the carbonara. And I was drawn to the fact that it was udon based. Now, I've just been living in hawaii these past years so that Japanese twist on an Italian dish that I just love oh so much really brought me back to missing the islands and the Asian spins they had on cuisines. Now my food may have not come in a jiffy but for after midnight cravings I'd say it was well worth the wait. And my oh my the portion was huge!!!! I slurped that big boy up. It was SOOO delicious and savory. I love comfort food and this had me in carbonara heaven. I loved indulging into every single last bite. By the looks of the picture the restaurant looks lovely, I'd love to stop there and try it in person. Thank you. Thank you! My belly and my heart are very much satisfied.

This restaurant offers a variety of Japanese katsu including pork loin, pork tenderloin, curries, seafood, and donburis as well as many appetizers, drinks, and desserts. We tried the miso pork loin and the half pork/half chicken curry katsu. Both were delicious, and very enjoyable. The katsu is very crispy and well made; the meat inside is very moist. For every entree, you have the option of choosing set A (miso soup with pork and vegetable, potato salad, shredded cabbage) or set B (miso soup and shredded cabbage). There was nothing special about the vegetable and pork soup and potato salad so I would recommend set B. At every table, there are a variety of condiments - salad dressing for the cabbage, spice powder, tonkatsu sauce, and soy sauce. I would definitely come back here if I am craving katsu. Service: Service was phenomenal. The restaurant was packed and very busy, but our server was still very attentive and always available if we needed something. Very friendly! Ambiance: The restaurant is not big but can accommodate both large and small groups. Space is a bit tight, but the seating is still comfortable. They have counter seating as well as tables in the back. During peak dinner time, there was a little bit of a wait and a line near the door; the place is very popular. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are craving tonkatsu!

We had no problem with that and was seated right away. The servers came over immediately and asked us what we wanted to order for food and we put in a good sized list. The food came so quickly after ordering, except for the meat (beef and pork). We decided to give it some time because this has happened in the past, but by 10:30, we were starting to get full and we wanted to ask the waitress. She said she would ask and walked away. Then a waiter came by at 10:40 explaining last call and asked what we wanted to order and I repeated that we still have not gotten our meat and we might as well order more meat. He uses his headset to try and find out what's happening and I see him come out with trays of meat and he brings them to other tables, including tables that arrived after us and doesn't bring us anything. At this point, a third waitress asked if we want last call and we reiterate to her that we still have not gotten our meat yet other tables had. Finally, the last waitress was able to bring us our meat and even some additional dishes that we didn't order. We have had something similar happen in the past where they bring the meat last, maybe because it's the most expensive and they hope we get full off everything else and order less meat? (This is my personal opinion but when it happens more than once, I start to speculate) This experience was heightened by the timing of closing but was, regardless, extremely frustrating. The last waitress was extremely kind and attentive afterwards, to likely diffuse the situation.
