Lots of options. You could totally do dinner here and be completely satisfied. In fact, another couple we met on our trip (Nathan and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedarkplum.com\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cassie<\/a>) didn&#8217;t get a chance to check out any of the other restaurants on the property because they really liked Soy and ate there pretty much every night.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/38046360246\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4461\/38046360246_5d857ea335_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the restaurant interior. Soy doesn&#8217;t require reservations, so it&#8217;s a safe bet, but the restaurant isn&#8217;t very big either. There wasn&#8217;t a wait when we went. However, I&#8217;m not sure if it makes a difference whether you&#8217;re there during high or low season. Late October is low season.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/26322971049\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4500\/26322971049_19f420c359.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I liked that the rolls came in fours because then we didn&#8217;t feel so bad for ordering a few.

It&#8217;s not a very big restaurant either. Kimonos requires dinner reservations and, since there are only four stations, it&#8217;s really hard to get in at times. For instance, we arrived at the resort on Friday and Wednesday was the soonest that we could get in. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/37391516754\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4443\/37391516754_70121399a0.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember why I took a picture of my drink.

The interesting thing about Kimonos is that you get everything. You get the steak, chicken, shrimp, fish, etc. Instead of choosing from items on the menu, they cook everything and just ask you if you want some as they go.<\/p>\n<p>It was fantastic but it also meant you were going to eat way too much if you don&#8217;t have any semblance of self-control, which is my biggest problem. I ended up overeating and had to waddle my way to the White Night chocolate party. Then when I got there and saw all the amazing desserts, I was so disappointed that I couldn&#8217;t eat any of it because there was no more room in my belly.
