We ordered the salmon carpaccio, their daily special (spicy niku), gyoza, spicy chix, and mochi. The spicy chix was so good we had to order it twice The seating is casual, simple, cozy, and authentic. The ambiance was great, the energy was high, and the staff were super lively and attentive.
Definitely coming back. 100%.

I had been meaning to visit this place for months and finally got the chance to go last month. We ordered the salmon teriyaki, duck gyoza, karaage, and spicy niku maki. They also kindly gave us an aburi salmon on the house, which we happily accepted and really enjoyed.
The space is small, very much like an izakaya-style spot in Japan, which added to its charm. It was filled with Japanese-inspired décor, and even the washroom was thoughtfully designed to match the overall theme.
The dishes were delicious and packed with umami. The only one that felt slightly lacking was the duck gyoza, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Everything else was flavorful and well-executed.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience even better.
Overall, it was a great dining experience and I would definitely come back to try more of their dishes. And I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore and enjoy authentic Japanese dishes.

I would rate 10 stars if I could. This is a place I want to come over and over again. Such a little gem! Their salmon aburi, salmon carpaccio and Kima Kara-age is simply to die for. All the rest of the menu is equally special.
The guys working here are having fun and visibly enjoying themselves creating a fun and welcoming environment for their customers.
Special thanks to chef Mark who treated us to the most delicious food and entertained with an unexpected show and to Angel who took a great care of us during the meal being very engaging and cheerful.
Big shoutout to this place and its owners!!!

Loved how cozy and minimal the place is, had a lot of dishes and mostly were good,
Only things I would love to give a constructive feedback about are:
Portions are small!
Takoyaki, Octopus was overcooked, it was very chewy!
Salmon carpaccio, lacked depth and flavor, can be way better!
Service was top notch, Marvel and Angel were the best!
Ambience was on spot!

This cozy spot has great ambiance, fair prices, and truly top-quality ingredients. Angel, Marvel, and Donna always make you feel at home. The chef—always smiling as he cooks everything live—is the heart of the place. I’ve tried the entire menu, and everything is incredible. I love it so much I come here 4–5 times a month. Easily the best Japanese restaurants around!

I had dinner at Kima Izakaya, and it was truly a great experience. I visited Japan last October, and dining at Kima Izakaya instantly brought back those Tokyo vibes it felt like I was still in Japan.
The ambiance is authentic and inviting, and most especially, the food was exceptional flavorful, well-prepared, and absolutely satisfying. I was very impressed with my visit, and Kima Izakaya is definitely a place I would highly recommend for anyone craving an authentic Japanese dining experience. ✨

Went here for a casual birthday dinner with my friend. We ordered a few of their small plates but when it arrived on the table, these plates weren’t small at all – especially the tempura. Our table was so full and our mains weren’t served yet. The staff were very friendly and nice. The food was 10/10. Service was spot on and the atmosphere feels like you were actually dining in Japan.

The food was absolutely amazing, especially the salmon carpaccio a must try dish. This place serves authentic Japanese cuisine, and if you’re craving the real experience, you’ll love it. The ambience honestly made me feel like I was in Japan. ❤️

It was an amazing experience. The vibe and coziness really mirror their love for a japanese izakaya. They welcome their guests in a loud, proud and warm way and its lovely. The Restaurant itself is held very traditionally, with music that makes you feel like your imersed in Japan. The sushi masters smile and the kindness of the Staff makes you feel seen and very welcome. Best japanese Restaurant in a very long time. 5 Stars is not enough!

Authentic Japanese restaurant. The food is impeccable, the Hokkaido Scallops was the highlight for me. We ordered the Chili Edamame, Beef Tataki, Salmon Carpaccio, Spicy Tuna Maki, Nigiri, Tenderloin Donburi (a little over cooked) & Temaki. All were excellent. Staff is friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back!
