Kimu Japanese Cuisine - Vancouver

Kimu Japanese Restaurant opened up about 2.5 years ago, and I surprisingly have not yet written a review about it! There was a period of time in 2016 when the boyfriend and I came here quite often, as the replacement to Uomo Sushi. But I’m glad that Kimu hasn’t changed much from our last visit!

The corner of 29th and Boundary is a very busy location and I’ve driven by it on many occasions. However, I’ve never really noticed the Kimu Japanese Cuisine restaurant until recently. I arrived for an early dinner in April and noticed that it actually got quite busy always a good sign). They have a pretty good selection of Japanese food here so I got a little bit of everything. The Chopped Scallop $1.80) and Ikura $2.25) nigiri were the first to arrive at my table and foreshadowed the rest of the yummy food to follow. The chopped scallop was nice and creamy while the salmon roe was fresh and had a popping sensation when I bit into it.

Great neighborhood sushi spot! It's Japanese cuisine with a Korean influence, they have a few items on the menu that you won't find anywhere else, such as the dontoro roll: tender grilled pork belly rolled up with asparagus and topped with kimchi. Or the spicy chirashi don which is basically an affordable poke bowl with a good helping of seafood, salad greens, rice and a spicy gochujang sauce.The nigiri is so-so, both times I've eaten here the rice was pretty dry and lacking seasoning. Beers are cheap and the staff are super friendly! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area

Very interesting restaurant (to say the the least).  I have seen a few pictures of this place on social media and have always been meaning to try it.  I was not disappointed.  There was a few things that you would never find on a regular japanese restaurant menu.  I tried the sushi cake, which was pretty amazing, with an abundance of different tastes in it.  The deep fried Salifornia Roll sounded different, but it was a 'meh ' from me.  Other than that, the regular Spider Roll and the Chopped Scallop roll was pretty good, but nothing outstanding.<br/ <br/ The decor was very nice, and the service there was good as well.  They were very attentive with the tea and was very helpful, when it came to questions.  I thought the prices were very reasonable as well.  I would want to go back and try their sushi pizza.  Looked good on the pictures.

I was recommended KIMU Japanese Cuisine by friends showing me interesting pictures of sushi. Naturally when I went I didn 't get any 'rolls ' but whatever sounded way more interesting. It 's too bad the menu doesn 't have pictures but you can check out pics online at Zomato and Yelp to see just how pretty and interesting their creations are and at decent portions for very reasonable prices!
