Kimo's Sushi Shop

Kimo's Sushi Shop Restaurant Reviews:

Worst customer service I've ever experienced July 05, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        I ordered a sushi tray from Kimo himself 2 days in advanced from when I needed it. I sent someone to pick it up, and they were closed for a catering event! I called Kimo himself, and I have never been treated so rudely from a restaurant, let alone the owner. No one called me to let me know they couldn't prepare my sushi tray, and he didn't seem to care he would never have my business again. This rude person does not deserve to stay in business.

fresh October 23, 2006 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        I tend to disagree with the others... in two or three years, I've yet to encounter unfresh food. Infact, everything that I've ever tried at Kimo's has been made fresh, and has generally been served with a pleasant attitude, if not a smile. Sure, Margaret may seem a bit distant - maybe even out there - but that has never taken away from the experiance of quick, fresh and affordable sushi in a town that lacks a variety of quality Japanese food.

Ick - not good August 26, 2006 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        I recently tried take out at this restaurant for the second time and unfortunately, I won't be giving it a third chance. The sushi was not fresh. It found it's way into the trash can very quickly. I work in the neighborhood and I love the concept of this restaurant. It sounds like the owner is trying to make a go of it. Maybe there is a supplier issue. At any rate, there are too many other dining options to spend money on spolied food.

Absolutely THE WORST I have ever had! May 10, 2006 Food Service Overall        I hate to say this about a local small business, but my husband and I ordered take out from here only to immediately throw it away in disgust. Although whomever answered the phone was nice enough to make a salmon roll spicy for me, when I got it, it tasted spoiled! My husband will usually eat just about anything, but this place is where he drew the line. We were so excited to have a sushi place right by us, but after trying it, we are hoping that another business takes it's place! I can say with no doubt that if the health department doesn't close this place down from serving bad food, then the bad word of mouth will finish the job. Review By: JandB From Ohio City

BAD SERVICE, BAD SUSHI January 28, 2006 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        I have always LOVED Kimo's. Today was the exception. I called in a phone order. I asked if they had any specials An abrupt "No." Then "Oh well, if you mean our Spider Rolls etc." Yeah, that is what I mean. Kimo was so curt with me I had to stop him from hanging up so that I could give him my full order!! ( He was ready to shut it down after the Spider Rolls!) I pick it up, three tables in the dining room were filthy and for the first time, the sushi was awful. Sloppily made and flavorless. Kimo, if you are having a bad day, don't take it out on me or my food! I hope this experience will be the exception. Review By: Amy From Cleveland

June 03, 2005        Nestled into what was half of Ohio City Pizzeria, Kimo's is a welcoming slice of serenity. Owners James ""Kimo"" Javier and Margaret King prepare food that is art: The meat of the spicy scallop special roll is as tender as liquid pearls, and the asparagus tips of the veggie rolls peek above the surface like a hint of spring. Miso soup offers satin sheets of seaweed and firm cubes of tofu, but it's the noodle soups that create a revelation - udon, ramen or slender buckwheat soba - in broth that is simultaneously rich and mild. Dumplings are a worthy add-on, their delicate wrappers stuffed with spicy ground tuna. Everything can be packaged for carryout, and two can dine happily and healthfully for about the price of a large pizza. Review By:
