We first tried Kimono Ken at their Blue Wave branch at the reclaimed area in Pasay City. Back then, the interiors were pretty spartan and the branch didn't leave much of an impression on me. Since Ed was in town to complete the paperwork for his Colt pistol in Camp Crame, we decided to have a family get-together at the Kimono Ken outlet along Tomas Morato. We arrived at around 7:30pm and the place was full; the waiters hastily put up a long table for our group (we were 12 in all). Vicky and Anita ordered a lot of fun food:
 |
| Everlasting Gyoza |
 |
| The Pork Ramen came in hot |
 |
| Chicken Karaage which the kids just love... |
 |
| Gwammy's favourite--kani salad! |
 |
| Ebi Tempura, which was gone in 30 seconds... |
 |
| Agedashi Tofu, staple protein dish |
I came in a bit later, and failed to get pictures of the sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, and the curry items. The fast-moving items were gone in a jiffy! My impression of the restaurant is that much has improved from the image it had when it first opened several years back. The Tomas Morato branch is spacious and can accommodate more diners. The interiors are neat and the walls are nicely decorated without being overbearing. The food is prepared well, soup was tasty and the sauces were filled with flavor. Serving portions are just larger than fast food outlets though, and while Japanese food is notoriously served as singles, I still thought that I could have been a bit more pleased with say a 15% increase in serving size! We were quite contented and left with full tummies! Prepare something around P500 to P600 per head.
