Kimono Japanese Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Benicia - 1654 E 2nd St, USA

My Family and I have had Lunch twice At Kimonos. Both times the Meals were Outstanding and our Service was Excellent! I would like to say a Very Special Thank you to Teresa and McKenzie. Mr. Omar, manager -Thank you. The only con- parking. It’s okay most days.

I have been going to Kimono’s restaurant since day one. I love their high-quality meat and tasty dishes; the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. If you have not tried kimonos, I recommend you to do so today. Their appetizers are great too. 😊❤️🍁🍂

Always delicious and I enjoy the entertainment and excitement that the cooks give. Such a great show during their cooking perfection.

Eh. Our chef was great trying to entertain us but it ended up a pretty mid experience for my BILs birthday. We waited for 30 minutes at our table (I looked at the clock 28minutes!) before getting any water or anything. Then our drinks arrived just as the chef started. It was a Wednesday so it wasn’t a rush or anything. The food quality was good, not great but good.

Not one complaint about this places food or the service. Kirkor is an awesome server and the fish is always so fresh! We are recurring customers. Wish they had one in Walnut Creek!

Love their chicken and shrimp fried rice 🍚 😋! Make sure you get it cooked in front of you, you get more food lol. Don't care for the way they try to crowd customers at 1 cooking table. Can be awkward sitting with other customers when other tables are open.

We used to visit on occasion before Covid but hadn't been here in a few years. It's a nice place to take young kids for the chef experience. Not sure if Covid changed things but I used to enjoy when the chef would toss food at you so you could try to catch it in your mouth. We didn't get any of that treatment and it I didn't see others tables get it either. It's a shame because the show is what you are paying for. If you are just interested in good steak and seafood and don't care about the show, there are better options for the money. Still, I would visit again if I had guests that hadn't been to a Japanese steakhouse before. The fact that it is 10 minutes from my house is probably another reason I would visit again.

Let’s be clear, you’re paying for the ambience. The food is slightly below average from what I’ve come to expect from Bay Area sushi restaurants. The price is above average, with average service. The inside is quite nice, with a beautiful fish tank, and replica samurai armor. The best thing it has going for it is a full bar.
