Kimpura Greenbelt 5 Makati - Niles

DO NOT EAT HERE AT ALL COSTS. Me and my friends had lunch here a while ago and the iced tea they served us ended up having a cockroach in it! my friend only found out after he drank half of it. The scallops they served were cold and raw as well. I would never expect something like this from a restaurant of this caliber. Simply unacceptable.

Service and relaxed atmosphere are what sets Kimpura apart. Food was average, ribeye beef tepanyaki portion was tiny, yasai itame was overcooked and tasteless. Overall, may not come back anytime soon.

We came as a group of 3 but they only gave us one menu. We had to ask for more but no one would pay attention until after 4 minutes of asking. What looked like the senior waiters would keep coming at our table to ask if we were ready to order when ideally we could just call them when we're ready. They only alerted us about the dessert that came with a meal only after getting the bill. The food was good but service was so terrible, I'd rather look for other Japanese restaurants to eat at with better service and food at the same price.

We ordered the Manager set menu, the price for 10 person is 19k++peso, it’s super big feast for us. Appetizers: Sashimi, Kani Salad, California roll, Eel egg roll Soup (all of them is good taste Main Course: Scallops, (4/5 Tempura, (4/5 Japanese Fried Rice (4/5 Angus beef with beansprout (4/5 Dessert: Buko Ice cream (super yummy! The service is good! We booked a day before for the private room (no charge and usually is fully booked if you not booked first.

I've been eating at Kimpura since I was a young boy. And 30+ years since the teppanyaki table has yet to disappoint. This last time we had uni, marlin and spicy tuna sashimi, the teppanyaki fried rice, ribeye, oysters and scallops. Same excellent flavors and satisfaction after all these years. Im glad my son gets to experience this family favorite.
