    So I finally made it to Kim's café, I tried getting there a couple of years ago on my road trip back from Florida, but it was pouring rain and I sat in front of the place for a half hour and the rain did let up so I couldn't get in... Today. I had an umbrella and it absolutely was pouring 10 minutes before I got there but the rain stopped. I sat down and ordered my favorite breakfast, shrimp and grits, which was so delicious, I told the waitress when I went to pay my bill, they were bussin, she, and the chef thought that that was was quite comical...

    Oxtails with rice, collard greens, green beans
    Mal M.

    These are the best oxtails I've ever eaten. The gravy reminds me of my mama's gravy. I could eat rice & gravy alone. Everything is seasoned well. The lil ol piece of cornbread ain't enough for the ample amount of veggies. And it's sweet. Blah. But I'll let that slide for food this good.

    Stopped by Kim's Cafe on my last day of a weekend trip to Savannah. When we arrived, we were greeted and the staff let us know that we could sit at any open table. The restaurant is filled with beautiful murals and paintings. Upon finding a table to sit at, it took a little while for a server to come take our drink and food orders, but that was the only downside to our experience. We ordered the salmon, egg, and cheese sandwich and the fish and grits and everything was delicious! You could tell they put a lot of care and attention in the food they serve. It did take a little bit of time for our food to come out, however, there are signs in the restaurant noting that food prep isn't "fast", so that was appreciated. Next time I'm back in town, I'll definitely make it a point to grab another meal here.

    Cute little gem and the food was delicious! The service was nice. The atmosphere was very calm and they have amazing art work located on the walls. The food was cooked to order and was hot. I ordered the BLT club sandwich with fries and the chicken Philly with fries and neither of them disappointed. 10/10 I do recommend.

    Beautiful art

    I dined at Kim's cafe today. The food was so delicious. I had the stewed Turkey wings, the meat was falling off the bone tender, the macaroni and cheese was delicious and the yams were like pie. The dinner was serve with a cornbread muffin and warm hospitality. The dining room is painted black and decorated in beautiful colorful art. It's clean, it's cool and it's the place to be if you love soul food. The choices are endless, from oxtails to fried chicken and everything in between. They even had a great variety of desserts. I was so hungry, I forgot to take pictures when the food arrived. I'll be back soon and I'll add photos of the delicious soul cuisine.

    Liver & onions. Mac & cheese & squash/zucchini. YUM!!

    Food was AMAZING!! I'll definitely return. But next time it will be TAKEOUT! The understaffed cafe really hurt the food industry. Two people to service over 10 people. And our waitress was definitely new. Not customer-oriented. She didn't check on us not once since dropping off our food. Ordered waffles & asked for syrup & butter. Nothing delivered. I got up to request both. By the time, we got those items, food was cold. Lost flavor & appetite. Myself, I had liver & onions. That food was fresh & hot. DELICIOUS!! I'll just stick with takeout & enjoy more delicious meals. Overall the atmosphere was great. Love the decor & African artwork throughout the restaurant. Definitely patronize Kim's Cafe. And cut them so slack if the service isn't best. But the food is definitely worth it!!

    Stewed Turkey Wings

    I loved the stewed turkey wings, they reminded me of the oxtail by the color, they were so full of flavor and the sides were equally as amazing.

    Ox Tails over White Rice, Collard Greens, Macaroni & Cheese, Blueberry Cornbread, Okra & Tomatoes
    Tonya J.

    Really enjoyed Sunday dinner here at Kim's Cafe! It made up for my meal from Saturday. I had the Ox Tails, Mac & Cheese, Collards and Okra & Tomato's. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The dark gravy on the Ox Tails threw me off just a little bit it didn't alter the taste at all. Mac was cheesy and greens were well seasoned even without any meat in them. My favorite dish, almost anywhere I go, is Okra and these didn't disappoint. Dining Room was peaceful, clean and not crowded for a Sunday. Our server was kind and attentive. Overall it was a great experience!

The buffets are actually very clean and kept wiped down and stocked (for the most part). But, the lettuce scared me-it was brown and sweaty...ALL of it. And the mashed potatoes were soooo over whipped they were gummy, couldn't even put those on my plate when I looked at them. But, over all for a buffet & for country food like I grew up with, it's not too bad. I'm sure when you have to make that much bulk products at once then the quality lessens because you're more focused on quantity. Cooking isn't an easy job. And I also know buffets waste so much food every single night they close (they HAVE to, by law they can't give away the food to people in need or anything). So they must throw it away because it was left out for a certain period of time and you can't just save it and reuse it. (ServSafe Certified right here lol). But, still, with all of these details that sound mostly low instead of high-I would still go back and just hope it's better than before.

The theming is cute-- it plays nicely off of the existing structure and history, with just a bit of campiness. The roving Pirate was my least favorite part-- she popped in on us twice and delivered a few pirate puns. I would have appreciated if she was able to share more interesting tid bits about the building and its history. A bit of a missed opportunity to know your audience, especially in a quiet restaurant on a fairly dead night. Our waiter was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and paced our meal well. He made solid recommendations based on what we shared that we would enjoy. As far as the food goes, it was really surprisingly delicious. I had the she crab soup and an entree salad. The soup was flavorful and full of crab. The salad was huge, the grilled chicken was nice and overall, a very satisfying dish. Two in my party ordered the ribs and raved about them. The filet was well liked and the fried shrimp in the entree were flavorful, not overly greasy, and plentiful. The one dish that wasn't well liked was the fried catfish. The grits were dry and the catfish needed something else. Desert was nice but basic, I don't know that any of it was house made. The key lime pie was a little overly sweet, but the chocolate cake was a big hit. If you're on the fence, I'd say it's worth a try, for the charm and historical significance of the restaurant.

    The reviews for this restaurant are a bit deceptive, because this is a case where you have to…read moreadjust your expectations. But once you do, you will find this to be a very adequate buffet experience. First of all, this restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall located in a larger complex with multiple Asian dining options, including two different. Korean restaurants. But they are plenty of parking spaces. So you shouldn't have any issue here. The restaurant is not extremely large but has plenty of seating. And on the Saturday afternoon that we visited we were immediately seated. Now the restaurant is a bit dated, and the booth we were in definitely shows some wear and tear with both bench seats having the vinyl split right down the middle. There are a couple of TVs on running Fox News, and the dining room is relatively quiet with just the chatter from other tables and booths. The selection of food is pretty good given the size of the restaurant and the overall price point. They have pre prepared sushi, hibachi and a plethora of fried food options,both on the Chinese and American side. They have a small dessert menu, but not much in terms of options. They have a pretty impressive fresh bar with fresh peeled shrimp, mussels, and oysters, which I was a bit, surprised to see. The oysters were refreshed while we were there, so I decided to try a couple and they weren't bad at all. I'm usually a bit nervous about trying oysters at buffet, but they did a good job of keeping them really iced and chilled. Service was also really good with the owner greeting new customers as they walked in and our server staying on top of our drinks and picking up our empty plates promptly. And the best thing about this place is the price. For two people our total bill came to a little bit over $40. This is a really good value given the variety and the service. Definitely will be a standard in my rotation of buffets here in Savannah.

None of the food we tried was good, none. The cucumbers tasted bad, rotten. the sauces tasted old, rancid. The pizza and fries my son got, he couldn't bite into, they were so old and hard, I tried the sushi and it tasted spoiled, we wasted our money, we couldn't find one dish on the buffet that tasted like it was even made at some point that day, this wasn't food that was just sitting out too long, this tasted like food that had been reused multiple times, for days. You can see when they add to the dishes they put the new dish in and then put the old stuff on top so if that doesn't get thrown out at night which I can tell it doesn't by the way it taste then who knows how long the stuff's been sitting. I can't show proof with pictures because the taste was the issue not the presentation but I did take a picture that shows the lack of care there's big huge rotten spots in the oranges sitting right on top of the dish. I'm really not even a picky person but I'm more just upset that this restaurant is a 4.2 star online and this is what it is. Everything I tried from the meat to the sushi to the sauces to the fruits and vegetables all tasted very old and when I say bad I don't mean I just didn't like the taste I mean like the food was days/weeks old, not fresh at all. We would've been OK if we could've even just found one thing on the buffet that was fresh that we could eat and our money wouldn't be wasted, and I wouldn't even have written the review but if this review can save one person's $40, then it's worth it because the way they run this business is not fair to the people just trying to have a decent meal. When I was contemplating writing this review I went and looked through the other reviews and found somebody's picture of their broccoli that had maggots in it, and I believe that reviewer after my experience.

We were looking for something…read morecasual but filling for dinner and because we had not tried out this place yet but had driven by several times, we decided to check it out. Definitely a great decision on a hunch. This is an all you can eat hot pot concept and frankly my first time attending this version. While I have visited hibachi restaurants in the past, this is not that. Basically this is a dual table side prep concept where you can either make your own custom soups and broths, and hot pot seafood or you can select the grill and grill of a variety of fresh meats and fish and vegetables, or you can get both. Both come with a small dessert bar and seem to be accompanied with the additional Fresh salad and sauce bar, although I'm not quite sure if one of those may have been restricted if you did the grill only or the hot pot only. Pricing is pretty fair at about $30 a person which rises to mid 30s if you decide to get both options. We went with the combo because we had never tried this concept before, but in the future, I may lean more towards the grill option only. Especially if I'm not in the mood for hot pot or soup. But I definitely enjoyed the combination choice for our first visit. The meat and vegetable selections at this restaurant are pretty vast and this is after the server first sets you up and allows you to pick from several different types of broth for your hot pot. In addition, they have a sauce bar that must've had 20+ sauces available to choose from. I think one of the most overwhelming aspects of this concept is lack of familiarity with the right combinations of hot pot and grilled options. For this we leaned heavily on our server and she did a great job of guiding us through a couple of her favorite combinations, as well as some of the favorite combinations of other patrons. This was really helpful because there isn't a menu or chart to help you unlock all of the really cool combinations that you can put together including Ramen udon and Thai soup varieties. All of the ingredients you need to make any of those dishes, but in your own customize version, are here to your heart's desire. Service is really good as they do switch out the grills rather rapidly as they will get charred and start to burn and smoke after three or four rounds of fresh meats and veggies slapped on them. However, they do not switch out your broth choice so once you make your choice, that's what you're rolling with for the rest of the dinner. All in all we were really satisfied with the freshness and the preparation of most of the ingredients and sauces. I did think the dessert bar was a little weak given the multitude of options elsewhere, but I also understand that this is consistent with the cultural preferences, which don't skew as heavy on traditional sweets, like American taste do. All in all this is definitely a treat for those looking for a great date night or just looking to take the family out for a really engaging and tasty cook at your table experience - all you can eat style!

    Himalayan Curry Kitchen in Richmond Hill is hands down one of our absolute favorite restaurants…read more The service is always warm and welcoming, and the food--every single dish--is nothing short of phenomenal. We've celebrated so many special moments here, from Diwali to my son's first solid food (butter chicken, of course!), and it's become our go-to spot for both the lunch buffet and countless family dinners. There is truly something for everyone on the menu. My personal favorite is the paneer makhani, while my kids are obsessed with the butter chicken (I can't blame them--it's incredible). The chicken tikka masala, curries, and kormas are all rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My sister and I can't resist splitting the chili paneer, and we never sit down without ordering a few vegetable samosas and plenty of garlic naan for the table. It's just as delicious when ordered on DoorDash--which we do often! My only complaint? They're closed on Mondays, and for whatever reason, we always crave it on Mondays. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful, and consistently outstanding Indian food, you can't go wrong with Himalayan Curry Kitchen. It's a true gem in Richmond Hill, and we feel lucky to have it close by.

The waiters came around, but at one point I had a small mountain of used plates and bowls on the table. The restaurant itself was clean, but not overly so. Overall, Himalayan Curry Kitchen is worth a visit to fix those Indian food cravings.
