We came in for their Sura Summer Specials and wanted to try their cold noodles. Their Hey Brother sandwich collaboration of egg sandwiches and fishbowl drinks sounded both amazing. I want to go back and try these before they leave their menu. My girlfriend enjoyed the Cold noodles and I got their Bulgogi Bibimbap. The crispy rice on the bottom of the stone bowl mixed with the veggies and bulgogi tasted so good. It was the perfect sized meal and I would totally get this again. Will update my review once I come back to get KBBQ on their outside patio.

I built my own bowl with some multigrain rice and the Spicy Thin Pork Belly as my protein. I loaded it up with a bunch of different veggies and it was delicious.

The portions were generous and the bowl was huge....so filling! The service was great. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I wish there was a location in LA, but definitely will head back if I'm ever in Long Beach again!

You choose whether you want your protein as a salad, bowl, or as a burrito, then pick your protein, beef bulgogi, grilled pork belly, spicy pork belly, chicken, or salmon. You have a choice of brown or white rice if you choose the bowl. Then there are the sides of vegetable toppings including Kim chee. They have various sauces too! I added more protein by topping my bowl with a fried egg! Marinate is in an old refurbished airplane hangar with tables available both inside and outside. Be sure to check out this place!

I would be down to come back again. It did take some time to get the food out but wasn't too long of a wait. We did street parking.

She ordered the fried Hainan chicken rice, while I went with the fried Hainan chicken rice noodles. My dish also came with a couple of wontons, ground pork, and half an egg, which was a nice bonus. On a recent Wednesday lunch visit, we noticed most people were ordering takeout and we were actually the only ones dining in. Like the other location, you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It's a very casual spot, and you can even request a bowl of chicken broth on the side. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. I ordered a Zebb Chicken rice to-go and it was still good for dinner!

This place appeared to be well rated with another location. We tried this one in Long Beach, it was…read moredisappointing as the place appeared to be busy but the cars parked in front were some other customer cars for the nearby business. The parking is hard since it's in the area of Long Beach with lots of condos, so you are fighting to find a place. Once we got inside we noticed it was empty, not a soul in sight except the cashier. We ordered a hainan chicken and a bowl of chicken noodle with ground noodle (sub egg noodle). They only offered dark meat or ground chicken, kind of sad as a chicken place. The broth was not rich and the chicken on the drier side. The pieces did not look like it came from the same chicken (usually it'll form the shape of whatever they cut up, but presentation was not their strong suit). The sauces for the hainan was on the saltier side and not as good as other places. The rice... Did they not throw in broth for it to cook? I did not taste much chicken flavor. The noodles, it's intended to be on the blander side, that's fine. The noodle though... It was as if they could've cooked a bit longer, they seemed to stick together and was not quite al dente so I stirred them around for about a minute to break it apart. Ground chicken, nothing special to season it with, at least it did not have chicken stench. Lastly, the door was left open, the amount of flies coming in was a lot. It was off putting. The neighborhood does not appear friendly or safe as the front door was boarded up. Also a sign saying there is no cash here (implying lots of robberies/burglers). I don't like giving low ratings, but the reviews for this place weren't... Convinencing.

Very nice steakhouse experience in Long Beach…read more The vibe inside is classic steakhouse: dark wood, booths. They have a spacious bar, and optional outdoor patio seating too. Enjoyed a very pleasant lunch. Chewy fresh sourdough rolls (4.5/5) with whipped butter. Half dozen oysters were impeccably fresh (5/5). Nice 26oz 30 day dry aged porterhouse (4/5), which wasn't as flavorful as the Snake River Farms 10oz American Wagyu filet (5/5): exceptionally tender and flavorful. I don't know that I'd do their dry-age again. Enjoyed their version of an old fashioned (Old Sicilian) (4.5/5) and the cooling and refreshing Essex Street gin/cucumber/dill/lime cocktail (5/5). A solid good wedge salad (3.75/5) that left me a little underwhelmed, but delicious broccolini with feta and tahini (5/5/) and creamy, decadent whipped potatoes (5/5). We were almost the only people there at lunch. Our server was super attentive and friendly. I would be back for a cocktail and that American Wagyu filet. And don't sleep on the creme brulee for dessert! creamy and crusty (5/5)

My colleagues relished in ordering the savory farmed, New Zealand King Salmon main dish with a side of garlic mashed potatoes, my younger colleague enjoyed the Teriyaki Filet Mignon Tips while I enjoyed a more traditional New York Strip with garlic and Parmesan along with Sautéed Spinach, with garlic, shallots, salt and pepper.

The chashu was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt well balanced. The pork rice bowl was just as good and is worth ordering if you're hungry. The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. It isn't the cheapest bowl of ramen, but the quality makes it worth it. If you're looking for good ramen in Long Beach, HiroNori is an easy recommendation.

It was 90 degrees outside, hoping that inside would be in the 70s which was not the case. Made our stay uncomfortable. Regardless, ordered 2 Ramen bowls, pork and chicken flavor. Also ordered a pork bun. Watermelon cucumber flavor water was served as complimentary. Was refreshing! 15 mins later we received our soups and pork bun. All tasted very good! No complaints toward the quality of food being served. I asked our waitress if this restaurant still had a Michellin star rating? Her response, I dont know and I think so. I asked her to check with her manager, she came back 5 minutes later and stated her Manager does not know the answer as well. I find that quite odd Hmmmm .. Overall the food quality is great. The negative things on my visit are. 1. It was warm inside the restaurant which made it uncomfortable. 2. Only one small restroom 3. Prices are a tad on the expensive side. $19 to $20 a bowl. 4. I believe management was not being honest regarding my question about being a Michellin Star rated restaurant. How are you in management and dont know the status of your own restaurant? Honesty is the best policy. Good thing, food was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, i would come back because the food is good and the place does not get crowded.

Fresh, flavorful, and very large portions. I had the chicken and noodle bowl, which had veggies and rice. The cute owner gave me a huge sampling of their beef over rice. It was the most tender and mouthwatering beef! The owner said it was top grade premium beef. This little gem is clean and has a few tables for dining. The owner takes great pride in the food she serves and in the cleanliness of the restaurant. Please give K-Grill a try. Try to ignore the area outside of the restaurant.

Parking wasn't too bad since there's a good amount of street parking nearby. There's a bit of a wait, especially on the Sunday I went, but Yelp waitlist makes it much better. It's quite small inside, so very understandable. The menu is quite extensive, with a selection of noodle soups and pan fried noodles. We got the chicken student noodles, which came out rather quickly. I loved the texture of the noodles, as they had that bounciness to them.

Since I counted only 6 of us in the restaurant, each item was delivered in rapid succession. I ordered the Halibut Carpaccio, Spicy Scallop Roll, Negi Toro Hand Roll, and Hokkaido Scallop Nigiri. Everything was delicious, but the serranos on the halibut forced me to tap out again. The hokkaido scallops were divine, but hot damn were they soaked in wasabi, which was overwhelming. The hand roll was tasty, but a little too much wasabi also. Obviously, these are personal preferences and don't affect the fact that Kimu is a 5-star establishment.
