Kimura

Nabe w/ Shoyu Broth 5/5 -- highlight of my meal! Soy chicken broth was amazing, chili oil that comes with it is a must!!

Nabe w/ original broth 4/5 -- good flavor as well, but I prefered the shoyu!

Spicy Hiyayakko Tofu 4/5 -- the spicy miso sauce is so good! Wished the tofu had a silkier texture though.

Skewers Combo:
Enoki Bacon 5/5
Harami Beef 4/5
Chicken 3.5/5

Cocktails:
Umeshu Highball 4.5/5 -- love plum flavored cocktails! Would say that I slightly prefer Kenka's Plum Cassis down the block.
Yuzu ChuHi 4/5 - light and refreshing!

We sat in the dining area in the back, well decorated and air conditioned! Service was very attentive as well, as we had one person in our party who did not consume pork. recommend!

Kimura is a great traditional Japanese restaurant, especially during cold season. However, I'm afraid the qualities are not as good as before. All dishes were tasty but a bit too salty. The staff were polite but not professional.

The hotpots here are sooooo good. We loved the sukiyaki hotpot - amazing broth and very tender beef. The skewers and fried chicken were delicious as well. I'll totally come back.

We were 4 people, 2 vegetarian and 2 non vegetarian so we ordered one vegetarian hot pot for 2 and one chicken hot pot for 2. The staff placed two gas stoves with chicken broth on one and tomato broth on the other. There were 10 different vegetables for the vegetarian option and a variety of chicken for the other one with some vegetables to add as per our choice. The staff helped us cook and serve the food in our bowls and brought some soya sauce and hot chilli oil as flavouring to be used as per our taste. We also ordered a bowl of boiled noodles to add some weight to the food. We found the vegetarian broth was much better than the chicken broth. All in all a nice experience. My daughter in law and son love the place although I am not very sure my wife would like to dine here again given the wide variety of food choices available in New York and the limited time we spend here.

Hotpot and overall food quality is superb. Exceeded expectations in area. Feels like I found a hidden gem of a restaurant!

Recommend the set menu - you get to taste a little bit of everything from appetizer to desert for a very decent price! I’ll def be back.

This is one of the only Japanese hot pot places in New York and they’re so good! They’re known for their collagen hotpot but also have less intimidating options like pork belly or just simple sukiyaki. Good drink and appetizer options as well.

Prices have increased a few times over the past 1-2 years but I would say it’s still reasonable for NYC and worth the quality of food you get. Still a very popular and busy place so definitely try to make a reservation.

Two people ate about $60/person. Tried the sukiyaki. I recommend the chicken and scallion skewer. Others like beef tongue slices, okra, and beef skewer is just so so. I don’t think this restaurant is anything special that can attract me go a second time.

Please make a reservation before coming! There are always a lot of people here plus the space of the restaurant itself is not big . The hot pot is so nice. The broth is different from other places, but it tastes good. The server will cook the hot pot for you the first time, so remember not to do it by yourself.
