Kimika - New York

A casual spot in Nolita, Kimika serves Japanese Italian fusion brunch. Was excited to try their matcha mochi french toast but it was kind of disappointing. Otherwise, their Katsu burger was tasty with a good balance of flavors and soft milk bread.Service and ambience were nothing special. On the pricer side for the quantity of food (the burger was small).

Had an amazing Saturday brunch at Kimika! Loved everything we had! It was all so unique and delicious!I highly recommend ALL of the items we had. Trust me you’ll have no regrets! If I had to pick TWO favorites it would be Aglio e Olio and the tuna tartare ?????? WOW. WOW. WOW.The service was also incredible. They checked in but weren’t overwhelming.

Overall Kimika was a fun and unique experience. The space is clean and welcoming. The staff was great, too. Drinks were unique and tasty. Food ranged from eclectic and amazing to beautiful and just okay. Definitely loved the truffle pasta. Also a fan of the tuna.Vegetarian options: Lots of non meat option

The waiter was very friendly, and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. It wasn't good at all, and the prices are definitely not justified. The portions were tiny—I paid nearly $40 for just four small pieces of scallops, and that was all I received, nothing else. We also tried the impossible burger, which looked fantastic but was quite tasteless, and the red wine sauce had the unfortunate flavor of ketchup. It was a real disappointment. On a positive note, the potato salad was decent, but it was only served in a tiny tablespoon-sized portion.

Only tried their dinner menu so I’ll just comment on that. I had high expectations for it because my friends recommended it. We ordered truffle carbonara and uni spaghetti for main. The flavor is really nice but the texture of the pasta isn’t the best. We got hazelnut mochi dessert. Nothing special. The serving size is quite small for the price. Will definitely exceed $50+ per person! (Might give it another try for their brunch)
