We love this place. The food is authentic, fresh, and tasty. The portions are large, and you can tell that the food is prepared with care. Service is efficient, but don't expect "fast food"....each dish is made to order and comes piping hot, and that can take a little time. I am a vegetarian and my dining partner was not, both of us left satisfied and full as there were plenty of tasty choices for both of us. There are only about 11 tables, so reservations are a must most of the time. This place is busy and it can be on the noisy side, so it is not a place for a romantic date. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for Japanese food other than Sushi.

Excellent food. The minimalist ambience was relaxing. Service was prompt and kind. Food portions were very generous. You'll leave full and content I guarantee it. Try the matcha IPA and the agedashi katsu, it's delicious.

Fast good service, goma raman vwry tasty noodles NOY over cooked++. Everything was very good. Will be back and soin!

Awesome service!! And, the food was very delicious!!! Highly recommend!! Thank you☺️

Delicious authentic Japanese food. They were completely booked on a Wednesday night but they fit us in. Super friendly service and the food took me back to when I lived in Japan! Highly recommend (we will call ahead for reservations next time!)

Hands down the best chicken teriyaki I’ve ever had. So juicy! And really generous portions.On top of it all, the staff were incredibly friendly.

delicious food, like I’m back to Japan! highly recommend

Delicious Japanese food!

I’m so happy Kiibos is back open! Inside the restaurant is nicely renovated and updated. I came to eat with my family and the food is delicious! Especially the tempura. If you’re looking for good tempura, this is the best on the island by far. Service is always good here too. This is authentic Japanese food at its finest. Can’t wait for the sushi bar expansion later next year:)

Was so excited to hear that kiibu was open for lunch, but was disappointed over lunch. The pork teriyaki was dry n the pork tofu was not the same as before. The renovation is beautiful but the cooking should go back to how it was. Don’t lose your reputation from before.
