Kimu Restaurant

Easily my favorite restaurant in Greenwood. I used to refer to it as the "place next to Yat's" and now I refer to Yat's as the "place next to Kimu." I'm currently exploring the different vegan actions available. Last time I went in, the server just recommended something and it turned out to be delicious and a lot of food for the price. Before switching to a vegan diet, I would get one of their Pho bowls, typically a "super bowl" size, and some Burmese sweet tea. The Pho is what you would expect from a good Vietnamese restaurant and one could compare the Burmese sweet tea to A Thai or Vietnamese variation, only it has its own deliciously intriguing flavor. Next time your friends want to go to Yat's, take them here instead. You may wait a little longer for your food because Kimu takes the cook-to-order approach rather than the slop-from-a-crock-pot approach to running a restaurant.

Ok because I like Burmese people and the service was good, the food not the best.  Very limited menu, just shan noodles/tea leaf salad and mohinga on weekends.  The noodles were OK sour and salty pork and a big enough portion, tea leaf salad was OK - the usual packet stuff which is fine.  Sushi available as is Pho so running the gamut on Asian here. Doogie's Kimu roll was delicious. Some sambussa like potato puffs and egg roll were non greasy, hot and tasty.
Lunch for two - $34 and we were stuffed. Burmese is hard to find in USA but the quest must be continued in every city.  Now if I can drag Doogie out to another Burmese place here tonight that will be a result.

I'm not sure why this place is rated so good. We went there tonight after reading a lot of good reviews. The waitresses seemed like school kids who really didn't want to be there and were focussed on their cell phones most of the time and seldom paid any attention to the Customers. We tried to order fried tofu for apetizer but were told that it didn't turn out good that day. We got samusa and veggie soup which was pretty decent. We ordered Chili and lemongrass (with tofu) for the main course. When the dish came, I was able to smell the shell fish base and had to return it back. That should have been specified in the menu as a lot of people (including myself) are allergic to shell fish. Then we ended up getting the curry with tofu which tasted like canned coconut cream with tofu and a little spice added to it (even the consistency reminded me of canned coconut cream). I don't think the people who run this place are ready to open a restaurant yet. Overall we had a terrible experience. Will not go there again.
