Kimono Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Clemmons

We got a take out order and didn't dine in this time. It took about 15 minutes to prepare our order. The portions of meat and vegetables in the hibachi meals was less than generous. It wouldn't be nearly enough for a hungry man, but for a light eating lady it was sufficient. The Teriyaki chicken and mushrooms was tasty, and the sweet carrots were perfect. The fried rice was delicious and there was plenty of it, way out of proportion to the meat. We also had a children's order of Hibachi Steak. There were no vegetables, just rice, steak and a few sweet carrots, but it was tasty and enough for our child. The Hibachi Filet Mignon with vegetables was a bit disappointing, as it didn't seem at ALL like Filet Mignon. It wasn't any more tender than the Hibachi Steak and I suspect that it was the same meat as the regular steak. Again, the portions of meat and vegetables were small, with tons of fried rice. It was cooked perfectly and was tasty (as steak, not Filet Mignon), and again, the fried rice was great. Their yum yum (or shrimp) sauce was good too. *We ordered one serving of Miso Soup which was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! There was NO MISO IN IT! Do they think Americans don't know what Miso Soup is? What kind of "Japanese" restaurant can't pull off basic Miso Soup, which in Japan is served at nearly every meal? The FAKE soup consisted of a totally tasteless broth, with some little white squares floating on top which I guess was supposed to be tofu. Since WHEN does tofu float?? There were a few specks of green which were supposed to be green onion I think. There was no seaweed (wakame) in it either and DEFINITELY NO MISO. Positively DISGUSTING. The packets of instant Miso soup you get at the grocery store are FAR better than this mess. I couldn't believe they charged me for it and called it Miso Soup. A Japanese restaurant that can't make the most basic Japanese staple? Huh? Give me a break. I gave it 3 stars because the fried rice was great, and the hibachi food was cooked right and tasted good. They're stingy with the meats and vegetables but pile up the rice. It's an okay place for a light lunch, but I wouldn't dream of going here for a special occasion, and I'd certainly not expect anything authentically Japanese. If you want steak, skip the filet and just order the steak because there doesn't seem to be any difference aside...

Ordered three soups, the broth for my mother who is having a colonoscopy tomorrow and literally smells like mold!! This was the most horrific order and I would give zero stars if I could. Absolutely disgusting and now my whole house smells like a seafood market full of rotten fish because I ordered a side of scallops. Eat here at your own peril because how they haven’t poisoned someone and been shut down is beyond me. Absolutely utterly and atrociously the most disgusting food I have ever seen and someone have the audacity to charge me for, in my life. I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. The rice with just sauce was where I took the literal salad shrimp that were cooked to rubber off the kids meal for my son and the steak was literally five pieces And rubber as well. They can’t even get sweet carrots, right and a possible contributing factor is that everything faintly tastes of...

Service was terrible! This used to be one of my favorite places. Server seemed less than interested to be there let alone having customers. Sushi was not what I wanted (what I wanted is pictured) and see those nice plates? Nope. None of that either... Shrimp was tiny and overcooked, chicken was dry... Steak was ok. The first round of drinks were ok, had to flag down server for refills, to which he brought some orangish tea, so those with tea had to switch. Water was spilt on the table, no apologies or offer to clean up or towel to do so. We were all very excited (it was most of my immediate family, no children... 8 people in total) no one was satisfied and the bill was close to $140. My once favorite place is no more and I will not be going back.
