    Nice restaurant with suitable value for money. Service was fine, food was served in an appropriate time. Atmosphere was a bit strange because we're the only guests there on the evening we went (for sure better when there's more going on) and it is "hidden" right behind the gas stations

    Shokudo Kilimani brings the comforting flavors of Japanese home cooking straight to Nairobi, offering a relaxed and welcoming space where guests can enjoy authentic dishes just like in a traditional Japanese diner. From steaming bowls of ramen and hearty donburi to fresh, expertly rolled sushi and delicate mochi desserts, every dish is crafted with care and attention to detail. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Shokudo Kilimani is warm and approachable, with a casual chic setting that invites diners to unwind and savor each bite. #EatOutApproved!

    It's really close to my work place so I love to pop in and out occasionally for the food. I loove the food so much but i gave the service a three star because only one server is nice😂😊 The rest have a bad-almost judgemental attitude, one even refused to give me the salad because me and my friend ordered different meals to share. But generally i love the place and virginia's service. I would highly recommend.💥

    Every single time we have eaten here the food has been tasty and really fairly priced. It’s like a hidden gem for a food lover. Their Ramen bowls are so far the best we have had in Nairobi. Tried the pizza too and it’s absolutely well balanced, great dough and the servers are always kind. Highly recommend.

    Every time I am in Nairobi I have to have a meal, or two, at Shokudo. I first discovered them thru Uber Eats and have been hooked ever since then. The quality and authenticity of the food is superb. The service when dining in is first class.
