Kimu Asian Restaurant - Bloomington

KIMU ARE NOT THE BURMA GARDEN THAT YOU/YOUR FRIENDS KNOW They changed owners. According to the female server, this happened at the end of last Thanksgiving. They changed a little bit of the decoration style, including the table and seat. We ordered Kimu special soup (Pho) and Burmese simmered pork Kimu special soup: just a salty meat soup, meat is not that good, but acceptable, with common sides for the pho soup, containing in a big bowl has two Chinese words: 吉祥 Simmered pork: very oily, different than what I expected from them, they had a pork dish, very tender meat and spicy. This time, they don't even ask for a spicy level when we are ordering. Half the pork is the oil part, which is not lean meat. Not too much taste, also, acceptable, but not good. They also have two free sides, one green onion soup and one pickle (like something you would have with rice, for Chinese). Overall, they have more food options, including Japanese ramen and Korean dishes, but their heart has changed. Not the old Burma garden that I love. If you like those foods, go try them, but I won't probably go there for another time. I understand that by adding more foods can make the restaurant more acceptable to more people, but you are losing the core and what was beautiful about a local international restaurant! I’m so mad.

New owners and a renovated interior! The food is way more expensive, not bad but definitely expensive compared to what it used to be. On top of that, I ate there nearly a month ago and was charged only 2 days ago. Not sure what the deal is with that, but I would probably skip this location unfortunately.

I go here a lot and I didnt realize that they changed owners. They raised the price of pho by 5 dollars and changed the recipe. Not as good and not worth the price. I probably wont be coming back. Which im really upset about because I was a regular here, I came here at least once every 2 weeks.

New ownership. Still amazing

Had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. I highly recommend all dishes. I had the chicken fried rice.

Mushroom and tofu vegan. Mild. Very good.

This is the second time I’ve eaten Burmese food. If you think that it is just a variation of Thai cuisine, don’t make that mistake, because it is not! They have their own unique curries, soups and appetizers that are similar to Indian food and other south east Asian dishes, yet unique to the region now called Myanmar

So slept on. Should be on your regular restaurant rotation.
