Kimika - New York

The waiter was really friendly, and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, but the food was a huge disappointment. It wasn't good at all, and definitely not worth the price. The portions were tiny; I paid nearly $40 for just four small scallops—nothing else, just those scallops. We also tried the impossible burger, which looked fantastic but was incredibly bland, and the red wine sauce tasted like ketchup—what a letdown! The potato salad was decent, but it was only a tablespoon-sized serving.

Only tried their dinner menu so I’ll just comment on that. I had high expectations for it because my friends recommended it. We ordered truffle carbonara and uni spaghetti for main. The flavor is really nice but the texture of the pasta isn’t the best. We got hazelnut mochi dessert. Nothing special. The serving size is quite small for the price. Will definitely exceed $50+ per person! (Might give it another try for their brunch)

Overall Kimika was a fun and unique experience. The space is clean and welcoming. The staff was great, too. Drinks were unique and tasty. Food ranged from eclectic and amazing to beautiful and just okay. Definitely loved the truffle pasta. Also a fan of the tuna.Vegetarian options: Lots of non meat option

The waiter was very friendly, and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. It wasn't good at all, and the prices are definitely not justified. The portions were tiny—I paid nearly $40 for just four small pieces of scallops, and that was all I received, nothing else. We also tried the impossible burger, which looked fantastic but was quite tasteless, and the red wine sauce had the unfortunate flavor of ketchup. It was a real disappointment. On a positive note, the potato salad was decent, but it was only served in a tiny tablespoon-sized portion.

Great experience first time dining here with a couple of friends. The food was outstanding, especially the uni pasta and rice cake lasagna. Excellent cocktails as well. One of the people in our group is celiac and our server was very thorough with making sure what she selected to eat was gluten free.
