As someone who rarely goes to the West, I never expected to dine in a restaurant in Caroline Springs. We were invited to try our Kimasu and their new 2024 menu. My partner has actually been to Kimasu in the past, maybe a few years ago and has raved to me about their poke bowls. So we had to try them this time around. We had: Takoyaki 6pcs ($9.8) - The takoyaki balls were coated in the yummy sauce, my partner basically devoured them. Spicy Cali Poke Bowl ($17) - My partner states that Kimasu have been consistent with the poke bowls since he has had them last. He said it’s exactly the same and he enjoyed it as it is one of the best poke bowls he has ever had. Beef Udon Gyudon ($17) - My partner and I both really liked this, it was super slurpable and the broth reminded me of sukiyaki broth. The beef was a little bit on dryer side but that was okay, it didn’t really bother us. Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen ($19) - I was craving ramen so I wanted to try their chashu ramen. The broth itself was flavourful and the chashu was super tender and easy to bite through. The egg was soft boiled and not the soy marinated egg that you would get at other places. They gave a good heaping of corn and the portion was actually pretty big. Tokyo Strest Fries ($13) - These fries were topped with cheese, nori, furikake and spicy mayo. I found them to be very umami and not too heavy as a side. I really liked them and would definitely get them again. Most menu items at Kimasu are under $20 so you can definitely call it a cheap eats. I find that the portions for the price was pretty sizeable and was enough to fill us up. Rating: 8/10

Kimasu has been my go to poke spot in the Westside for years - stemming back to the days when they were a little food truck called Poké time! Featured: • Chicken Katsu Sando 🌟 • Soba Mi Salmon • Kimchi Fries🌟 🍉 Lychee Melon 🍓 Strawberry Yuzu Tried their sandos for the first time and loved the toasted buttery brioche the katsu was sandwiched between! The salmon soba was light and tasted healthy, although I should’ve stuck with creating my own bowl like I usually did so I could pick all my favourite toppings. The kimchi fries were the perfect side! These have been elevated from their usual umami fries that I love, with a generous helping of stir fried kimchi with cheese and mayo. & even though they get a little soggy from the kimchi juice, they are still amazing 🤩 Loved their drinks! Infused in a light green tea base, they were fruiting and so refreshing - perfect for warm Summer nights when you just want someone thirst quenching and delicious.

Currently operating out of a food truck called "Poke Time" @kimasu_melbourne is Japanese & Hawaiian street food with an emphasis on fresh quality produce. The restuarant in Westsprings Shopping Centre is where the food truck is currently located. Kimasu sell a range of poke & sushi bowls, fruit teas, milk teas, coffee and flavoured lattes. Initially I tried a mango yakult which was one of the best japanese drinks I've had in a very long time. My chicken Katsu sandwich was fresh juicy pieces of chicken fillet and red cabbage sandwiched between 2 pieces of Japanese milk bread. This was soo moorish. My sashimi salmon bowl included fresh and cooked salmon, served w rice, lettuce and salmon roe. Opening hours currently are 12-5pm, whilst the restuarant is being renovated. "This is the best in the West." And definitely worth a visit.

Located in the Westsprings in Caroline Spring, they specialize in poke bowls, rice bowls and boba tea. Their store is currently closed for renovations but they have a food truck located at the front There was so many options to choose from on the menu and i decided on their spicy cali poke bowl and a taro milk tea with coconut jelly. I had the mix salmon and tuna for my spicy cali poke bowl and it was so good. I really enjoyed the flavours and textures in the poke bowl, there was a good balance of edamame, salmon and tuna chunks, corn, seaweed and the dressing. The sauce brings the flavour together and was really good. The taro milk tea was good and it went really well with the coconut jelly. The poke bowl and milk tea was just the perfect combination and i would definitely be back to try their chicken katsu and katsu sando

📍@kimasu_melbourne, Caroline Springs One of our favourite spots in Caroline Springs has just launched new items, including loaded fries, sliders, and noodle bowls 🍜 We went to try a few items and absolutely loved the Ultimate Sliders, they are massive and loaded with fried chicken, potato croquettes and coleslaw 😋 The Chashu Pork Tonkotsu Ramen was good too and is perfect for dinner on a cold night, but if you're looking for a cold dish go with the Spicy Cali Poke Bowl 🌶 What we ordered: 🐟 Spicy Cali Poke Bowl $17 🍜 Chashu Pork Tonkotsu Ramen $19 🍟 Tokyo Street Fries $13 🍗 Ultimate Sliders $18 🍓 Yuzu Strawberry Fruit-Tea $7.7 + Strawberry Popping $0.8 🥤 Lychee Fruit-Tea $7.7 + Lychee Coconut Jelly $0.8

Ordered the Hawaiian Style poke with salmon for $16. Great flavours and textures. Spice level was a nice touch too. Would have given it 5 stars if it was a larger serving. 2nd visit 23rd January: ordered a signature bowl with tuna, soba and aloha dressing for $16. Presentation was exceptional as can be seen by the photo. Portion was larger than my previous visit as well. Unfortunately, there was too much dressing and it was much too salty for me to even finish. Will give this place one more try but so far it's been pretty average.
