KAWAII Sushi is a home run. My wife absolutely loved the sushi, super fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. I went with the chicken teriyaki, perfectly cooked and great sauce.
Ryan C.
Had the lunch special twice, and it's amazing. The service is wonderful, everyone is so kind. I've had the honeydew and kiwi smoothie and both were great. Highly recommended!
Rebecca L.
The sushi and noodles were absolutely delicious, super fresh and very tasty. They had a variety of dishes and drinks that were all so good. It’s now my new favorite sushi restaurant!
Aubrey G.
Food came out quick and everything, including the appetizers was top notch. We go out for sushi at least once a week. This is definitely one of the best. Definitely coming back.
