The Japanese and Italian flavors mixed well and are to come back for. I stayed in the hotel where the restraunt was attached. In the area, with a focus of cocktails and table service for an upscale environment, it was delightful.

I love cocktails, and the servers were personable. Nothing pretentious. They focus on service and taste! Our food was excellent and the drinks were even better. It's a pleasant experience.

Food was decently good. Not spectacular.

Soy butter bigoli - nice flavour and texture. Mushrooms were nice. Not an overly complex dish. Had a similar taste and feel to instant noodles.

Soba noodles with salmon - lacked any nice extraordinary flavour. Simple dish.

Overall, the ideas of these dishes here were quite unique. The execution was underwhelming for me, but maybe I set my expectations too high. Though, I don’t know if the food was exceptionally good so I wish I had paid a lesser cost.

Ambiance is lovely for a date. A bit dark and could hear conversations around me.

Service was very polite.

It was pretty spacious and not super crowded on Friday night at 730. Staffs were very friendly and everything was delicious! Will definitely come back to try other menus.

Interesting combinations, but can't say the uni toast was an improvement over sushi or that the pizzette was better on a Chinese pancake.

Also minimum prefilled tip was 20%

Don’t believe the hype. Fish wasn’t fresh. Fusion wasn’t fusing. Portions small. Overpriced.

I had dinner here with my friends last night and I want to say I'm more than impressed by how good the service was. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and had very good suggestions with regards to what to order. The food was incredible - my favorites were the arancini, truffle carbonara and eggplant katsku. The drinks were insanely good as well - you could see how much effort went into the ingredients. We were way too full for dessert but we definitely plan on going back

Vegetarian options: Just ask the waiter - as non vegetarians we loved the veggie dishes the most

Kimika exudes elegance, and it’s this refined ambiance that made my dining experience truly remarkable. The warm, inviting atmosphere instantly made me feel at ease, creating the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The highlight of the meal was the miso salmon—simply divine, a true chef’s kiss! Paired with a perfectly crafted cocktail, the flavors harmonized in a way that elevated the experience. From the ambiance to the food, every detail was thoughtfully curated, and I’m already excited for my next visit!

I recommend their truffle pasta ?
They are a little pricy for the amount and quality of food. Nontheless, their pastas are very good ?

I had an incredible dining experience at Kimika! The Japanese-Italian fusion dishes were bursting with umami in every bite. We enjoyed the uni toast, Hamachi collar, Uni pasta, scallops, arancini, and the matcha mochi French toast—everything was perfect! The staff were friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to come back!
