    My family and I went to lunch today and we had different dishes. I was so happy when I saw Antonio the chef because I know he’s an excellent chef. He’s great with his tricks and never overcook my food. Thank you, Kimono’s for another wonderful experience. You Rock! 🥳🎉🍾❤️

    recently took my daughter and my one-year-old grandson on a special outing for the first time, and it was a delightful experience. My grandson was absolutely thrilled, giggling and exploring his surroundings with wide-eyed wonder. The food we enjoyed was delicious, bursting with flavor, and I managed to savor every bite, happily finishing my plate. Our server, Jazmin, was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making us feel right at home with her warm demeanor and attentive service. I left with my heart full and can't wait to return for another wonderful visit! Thank you Jazmin

    Something was a little off. Not quite what I have come to expect from Sasa. Our waitress was very sweet but …. We got the wrong drinks served a few times and some of the dishes we ordered were missed in the initial order.
