Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Compare Broths. For hotpot, consider ordering both miso and sesame broths; a reviewer found both rich, balanced and comforting.

2

Choose Sashimi. If freshness matters more than variety, prioritise sashimi: one diner found it fresher and better than the basic sushi selection.

The Bottom Line

Kimuraya in Business Bay is built around Japanese comfort food, hotpot and grilled beef rather than a sushi-only experience. You can choose an unlimited hotpot, try A4 or A5 Wagyu in BBQ or shabu-shabu formats, or order dishes such as ramen, sashimi and karaage. The atmosphere is warm and Japanese-inspired, with traditional costumes for photos and even a serving robot adding a playful touch.

The strongest pattern in the reviews is the combination of tender Wagyu, fresh sashimi and attentive service. Hotpot diners especially liked the variety, while miso and sesame broths were described as rich and balanced. It also suits families and groups, with buffet meals and relaxed seating making it easier to share a long dinner.

There are a few reasons to order selectively. Sushi was called basic by one diner, while sashimi came out fresher; the udon, spicy salmon roll and mild kimchi also received criticism. A birthday visit involved confusion over a pre-arranged request and a delayed birthday treat.

Promotions can make the restaurant good value, but check the current package, beverage charges and time limit before committing.
