My family has dined many times at Kimono's teppanyaki tables but only once in the regular dining room. We did that last night and it was excellent. No wait time, service was great, and the food ordered off the menu was delicious, especially the sushi and baked salmon. We'll still go for teppan but won't hesitate in the future to order off the menu as a change of pace.

This place wasn’t it food was trash and made me sick that evening.
Service can use some work .
The show was great but his nose was running he was wiping with his shirt while cooking won’t be going back ever ..
Also those steaks are not prime cuts it was cheap meat …

This place is absolutely delicious!! Went here with my husband and mother-in-law and we all had an excellent time and enjoyed our food. Wait staff is very friendly.

I ordered the spicy seafood soup during my visit. The soup was delicious and definitely worth trying. However, the wait time was a bit longer than usual, which was the only downside to an otherwise good dining experience. Despite the delay, I would still recommend this place

The chicken lunch boat was great. Our waitress Brittany was on point and friendly. Would return here with family to see the show.

We just stopped by on our way home from camping and the food was delicious! Our waitress Sanny (I think that was her name) was really nice and helpful. We’ll definitely come by next time we’re in town

I usually enjoy my time at this restaurant especially for how nostalgic it is for me but I feel the need to say this.
I went here with my friends this past Sunday and we were served by Lina. I went to the restroom first and the other server working asked my friends if they wanted water. My friends declined and I got back to our table. It took about 5-10 minutes for Lina to get back to our booth and take our drink orders. We were ready to order at the time so we placed our actual orders as well. Two of us got meals, and if you've been here before you know you get a soup or salad before a lunch. My friend and I both finished our soup before any of us got our drinks. It took her about 5 minutes to put our orders in, and she just left my friends drinks at the bar. I made eye contact to try and get her attention but she just smiled and walked away. I had to get the manager and asked for our drinks, thankfully she had Lina bring our drinks. A couple minutes later our food comes out and it is brought to us by the host and the other server in the restaurant. She checked in on us once right after we got our food and that was it. I asked for a to-go box and never ended up getting it as well, even after waiting for our checks to come back and pay our bills.
I would understand if it was busy in the restaurant, but I used to work here and I know how things are run. I know that at most she had 2 tables and us, which isn't a lot at the restaurant. I was so embarrassed the entire time my friends and I were there due to the service after I had talked about how much I enjoy Kimono.
Also my friend thought the shrimp portion was small and wants me to mention it.

Celebrated mother in law 66th birthday, got to sit outside and basically area to ourselves so it was quiet and service was great and pretty prompt. Food looked and tasted great!

The service here is good and the waiter was very polite. However, if I could give the sushi negative stars I would! I've never had sushi that tasted that bed. One roll was burnt and that's all you could taste, the second roll tasted like the fish was several days old. I left almost all of it on the plate and left very disappointed.

Food was good but to expensive for what you get.

I had not dined here in a while, so we decided to go early on a saturday, the resturant was busy but not crowded. We had a difficult time deciding what to order as my girlfriend had not had Japanese food before. the tempura appetizers were tasty. I had shrimp, steak, and chicken and my girlfriend had the grilled shrimp. all the food was very tasty, their dipping sauces were excellent, and the portions were very generous. Our server (can't remember her name but she was the owners daughter), was very helpful and patient. Overall a great night out, and by the time we were finished, the place was hopping with large parties going for the Hibachi tables. A local gem, but make reservations or dine early, this place is no secret.

Perhaps a bit more expensive than benehana, but oh so much more flavor and personality.
