Decor is pretty typical- functional enough.
We ordered tuna and salmon sashimi, tako sashimi, yam tempura roll, and the assorted aburi nigiri.
The tuna and salmon were okay. Nothing spectacular, not frozen, but not melt in your mouth either. They were sliced unevenly- knife skills need some practice.
The aburi sushi were okay. They were soaked in sauce so it caused the rice to fall apart. They didn't tell us what we got, but I suspect I can list them. The mackerel was overly sour, they must have really soaked them in vinegar to get rid of the fishy taste. On the bright side, it doesn't leave the fishy taste in my mouth like it normally does. The Saba was also soaked in sauce. I thought there was too much pepper, but you can at least taste the fish. The tuna taste was completely overpowered by the char taste. The salmon was the best of the bunch. Best balance of fish taste and char, but none of them blew us away.
Lastly, the yam tempura either didn't have enough batter, or it was soggy from sitting too long. Either way, there was no crunch. The tako was also not treated well. The skin was still very visible and the texture was mushy and chewy.
We came because it we thought it would be cheap based on the online menu from Zomato, but they've recently changed their menu. They don't offer half portions and they no longer serve ikura nigiri, which is the only reason I wanted to come. The online menu showed a price of $1.75 for each piece. I will gladly pay the $2.50 from Kimura if only to have tasty, well treated sashimi.
Won't return nor recommend.
