Kimu Restaurant

I was excited to try another Burmese place in Indy after seeing how many options there are. Last time I was in town, I missed out because the hours are so limited and I was driving by after 7pm. I finally made it here when they were open, but I was pretty disappointed in the experience. I ordered the tea salad, and it was really oily and the veggies didn't seem very fresh. It was literally laying in a puddle of oil. Then my entree arrived, the beef stew. It also was quite oily and greasy. I also got the feeling that everything wasn't as fresh as it could have been. I have had Burmese food in other places and loved it, but I didn't have the same experience here. How disappointing.

The staff are friendly and inviting. The inside is decorated lightly and brightly. The food is delicious and filling, get the tea :)

Special fried rice had 3 shrimp and 1 of them was just the tail, maybe one piece of squid but NO scallops and NO crab meat. It took a long time for us to get our food and not hot when served.

Had a totally vegetarian meal while my friend was visiting town. We shared samusa, Burmese tea salad, tofu salad, pea fried rice with egg, and curry with tofu. I'm not a vegetarian, my friend is, but I loved everything. It was all flavorful and the textures were good. Service is friendly and quick as well. I wish it was closer to me, I'd go all the time.

Came here while in the area for work. While I don't have a ton of experience to compare the food to, it was very tasty and reasonably priced. It wasn't my favorite Burmese/Asian fusion style of restaurant I've been to, but my veggie soup was tasty and it hit the spot. Also had lots of leftovers!I'll add that the place was packed, so that should say something about the place as well. Definitely recommend!

We were really looking forward to trying Kimu. As I am from out-of-state, my friend wanted me to try the local Burmese food. We got to the restaurant at 7:26 p.m. The sign was flashing "OPEN", and their listed closing time is 8:00. When we walked in two employees were sitting in the restaurant and immediately told us they were closed. We left and did not see anyone attempt to lock the door behind us or turn off their open sign. If you are closed you shouldn't leave your OPEN sign on to beckon customers in.

Not a traditional Burmese restaurant since they heavily advertised ramen noodles and served pan Asian foods as well. Pleasantly surprised by quality of food. Tea leaf salad was decent. Could have used a bit more tea leaves. Nan Gyi Thot as great. Exactly the taste I'd expect from the dish. My favorite was goat curry on the bone. Not creamy. Cooked traditional style and slow simmered. Fall off the bone tender. If you are expecting typical Indian curry you won't be happy. This is a drier curry cooked with more oil and ginger. Haven't tried other dishes but I plan to come back.

This Place!!! First off it is always full of foreigners (always a great sign when eating foreign food). It is in a strip mall around the corner from Eyeglass World but don't let this "hole in the wall" vibe turn you away! The flavor of the food makes it a must stop distention when I visit the south side! Where to start - this is Burmese food - a rare delicacy of ethnic food since it's a small place in Asia that has been in turmoil since 2005 then again in 2016-17. I would describe it as a mix of Thai and Vietnamese - richness of spice and rich flavor in every bite. The flavor of the broth is savory to the last cooler bite & the way the sauce wraps itself in rice or noodles - makes me envious. I have tried almost everything on the menu (can't believe I never wrote a review considering how many times I have been here!). The dishes are described very well ***heat caution*** medium here can make you sweat a little lol. Go with mild to no spice if you have little to no tolerance. If you do have a high tolerance start with medium to medium-hot -- hot is like the Thai scale of 4/4.5 out of 5. It comes out piping hot too. So if you decide a togo order is more your style - know it will be good till you get home (as long as you are no more than 15ish minutes away... may still need to cool a little more even still).

I had some time to kill between appointments in the Greenwood area so I consulted the saved placed to eat map on Google that my husband created. It showed the closest restaurant was Kimu Restaurant. This is a Burmese restaurant. Yea have never eaten the cuisine so I was excited to try it out. I went in and was seated immediately. The lovely waitress brought over a menu and some iced water. It took me quite a bit of time to decide what to eat. I had heard of Samusas before but never had a chance to try them. They are fried pastries filled with potatoes and onions served with a hot sauce. They were brought to the table and arrived golden brown and delicious(I like to call it GBD). They were piping hot but I have to say the sauce was a great compliment. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The main dish was a hard choice but in the end I ordered the steamed whole fish. I've seen it on a few menus and today seemed like a good day to make it happen. She didn't know what type of fish but it didn't really matter. She informed me it would take about 20 minutes and made sure that was ok. I had plenty of time to just relax and take on the atmosphere. Lots of people came and went as I sat there. They did a lot of take out and many people came in to dine as well. My fish finally arrived. It was served in a broth of sorts with several vegetables and smelled so fragrant. I do believe there were pieces of lemongrass there too. I also spotted carrots, green onion, and tomatoes. It was accompanied by a side of steamed rice and a bowl of a sauce which contained Thai chilis maybe because boy it was spicy. Funny thing is I'm not a huge spicy fan but I just kept eating it. The fish dipped into it was fantastic. I had tears running down my face from the heat but that didn't stop me. I enjoyed the meal so much. I asked for another glass of water and the check. The meal was more than i cold have asked for especially since I didn't know what I was getting myself into. If you are adventurous go visit Kimu Restaurant and try something new. I'm so glad I did. Until next time grab a fork and knife and get eating. Let me know what your favorite cuisine is. I'm always open to new ideas.Follow me at Jennifeasts on Instagram and Facebook for more reviews.

I've never tried Burmese food in my life until I found this place. I fall in love with the Shan noodle. Thailand and Burmese are neighbor but I've never visited the country. I didn't expect the similarity in the food. I'm amazed by this dish. The noodle with soup on the side is hard to find here but it's very common in Thailand, same as Burmese. Recommend : Hot tea (sweet, creamy and fragrance)Shan noodle with pork (Chicken is a little smushy for me)Kye Oo Si Chet I haven't tried their ramens but base on amount of Japanese people I saw. The ramen must be good Hahahaha.
