Kimu Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenwood

A surprise gem! This is a small, laid back restaurant that has a variety of Japanese ramen, pho and Burmese cuisine. Service may be a bit slow due to the staff size but food is delicious and comes out fast. We will be back to try the ramen!

FOOD I ordered the Samosa appetizer which is savory and crunchy. They use several layers of the wonton skins fried for the outside and inside was potatoes and onions. That paired with the sweet chili dipping sauce was a smash, esp at 6 samosas for $3.

I also ordered the Kye oo, which is a rice noodle soup, like pho, and it comes with quail eggs, meat balls, sliced meat and a few veggies . The broth was savory and meaty, and I added a bit of hoisin for my preferred taste. Size was generous as typical of pho.

ATMOSPHERE and SERVICE The place is small, one room with long tables spanning across the middle to accomodate larger parties. There is a large tv mounted to the wall where they stream music videos (American pop) and in this case we heard songs from The Weeknd and Billie Eilish. They have a restroom in the back and there was one waitstaff who was serving all the tables and handling takeout orders on the phone. She was friendly and efficient. There were about 3 tables of people when we arrived around 6:30PM and we were the last table there, leaving around 7:30pm.

UPDATE: Visited again! I tried their beef ball pho and it was delicious. Broth was great! They did have odd Burmese(?) church-type music playing. The waitress who helped...

My husband and I wanted to try a new ramen place, and I found this after a quick term search on Google. We read thru the reviews and had resigned ourselves to either be wowed or disappointed because the reviews with substantial content are one or the other. When we arrived, we were greeted by the waitress. We ordered fried tofu (based on a review I read) and samusa. We also ordered miso ramen and Kimu's special soup.

Fried Tofu = I liked, husband didn't (he said too greasy). I likely wouldn't order again though. Samusas = I thought they were ok, husband liked them. He would order them again.

Miso ramen = I rank 4/5, though I forgot to request no noodles and add an extra egg. Yes, I like ramen, no ramen. But I pulled out the noodles, and the husband ate them. I'm not giving them a 5 because the pork belly was a bit dry, and I compare everything to ramen shop in DC that I love and eat once a year. Husband ranked my miso ramen a 3/5 and noted it was good but not noteworthy.

Kimu special soup = I ranked 3/5 because I'm not a fan of beef when it tastes like stew meat, but it tasted yummy otherwise, husband ranked 4/5 if not 5/5 and he has nothing bad to say about it. He loved the spice and did not doctor it beyond adding what was provided.

Service was good. We will definitely go again when...

This is a fantastic restaurant, although it would be hard to guess looking at the exterior signage promising sushi, pho, and other vaguely pan-Asian foods. Even stepping inside, one can be fooled by the quaint, tiny, and often quiet interior. What one must keep in mind is that, despite the overly broad claims out front, this is a Burmese restaurant. There are delicious fried appetizers, soups, and stir fries. The portions range from filling to collossal, and the prices are to my eyes unbelievably low. There are also satisfying beverages, like the Burmese sweet tea or coffee. I have always been satisfied eating here, although be prepared to wait a while for your meal. The staff is small, and I get the impression that the menu may be aimed more at an immigrant population. Do they serve sushi still? I don't know, and I wouldn't care to try it. Maybe they overreach to appeal to a broader audience. But their Burmese dishes are great and nice variety for the area. Everyone should...
