I'm quite surprised I didn't write a review the last time I was here, but I suppose good food can put the brain in a bit of a fog. There are so many amazing things about Kimono Ken that will make me a regular customer. I love Japanese food, and having come off a three-meal sushi bender (a friend and I ordered a party platter, no judgement) - I was a little hesitant to go for Japanese again, but we both knew how delicious sashimi was and Kimono Ken serves really good, quality sashimi. Personal recommendation: Get the Shake (Salmon), Maguro (Tuna), Uni (Sea Urchin), and Ebi sashimi. If you're newer to Japanese cuisine and not feeling adventurous, go for the rice toppings or Donburi - seriously, you can't go wrong with prawns, chicken, unagi (eel), beef tendon, pork katsudon. Pretty sure it's a fan favorite - it's definitely a favorite of mine. The portions are also generous yet very affordable. The feel here was simple, comfortable. Their tables are spread out really well, so you definitely don't feel like you and other tables are on top of each other, which I liked. The service was very good, very standard, very Japanese in culture. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu.

I've been here a couple of times and it's really nothing to write about, but it's one of the few options in RBC to seek out when you don't want Jollibee, KFC, or McDo. The food is okay and the place is good for meeting with people. Staff is attentive, and the RBC wi-fi works here.

I've not eaten in a Kimono Ken restaurant in years. I'm pleasantly surprised that this branch has managed to maintain quality in terms of taste, preparation, and presentation. Value for money to address one's craving for good yet reasonably priced Japanese food in the Metro.

Maki sushi lang gusto ko sakanila. Medyo matagal sila mag server pero organize naman sila sa pag hahandle ng mga customers. Mababait at approachable ang staffs nila.

Excellent service. Great value. Good food. :) Recommend the Salmon Sashimi, Agedashi Tofu, Gyoza and Beef teppan. :) Yaki-soba is not recommended as it is more of a pancit canton than a soba. The noodles arent soba but it isn't bad at all. Just different from traditional soba. Curry sauce is more indian than japanese but its still pretty good and goes well with tonkatsu. :)

Kimono Ken is good enough to satisfy your jap craving when you have no other choice. You wont come out disappointed but you wont be extremely satisfied also. They have all the classics when youre looking for those familiar flavors. It wouldnt hurt at all if they made their menu a little more interesting or execute the dishes better!

Saturday brunch with a friend at Rockwell Business Center, and Kimono Ken made for a good stop. The place filled up easy, so we were fortunate to have arrived early.Drinks- try the Kimono Ken special. Refreshing fruity mix: I could detect mangoes, oranges and another elusive fruit taste. The grape shake was also refreshing, albeit on the sweet side.Food: Sukiyaki was delicious, filling and good for two. Broth had a balanced sweet-salty-umami taste, though beef cut could be better it was tender and still flavorful. Order the crispy chicken teriyaki for a crunchy delightful salty-sweet experience. Fried california maki also made for a good bite in between sips of the sukiyaki broth.Spent around 900p for all that, and service was courteous, prompt and mostly attentive. Not a bad way to spend your Saturday morning.

If you're lookong for a quick and affordable fix for your Japanese craving, this place is a good option.Their Kimono Roll, Sakura Roll, and Dynamite Maki are pretty good. The Kimono Roll only has 5 piece but pretty big ones. The other 2 is served with 6 pieces each.I personally did not like their Creamy Spicy Tuna Sashimi because it was spiced with wasabi. I am NOT a fan of wasabi.Service was pretty good durinf my visit. Our server made sure the Sushi Chef could accommodate our requests for the makis we ordered.
