“Best sushi in town and the best people staffing it.“

“First time visiting Kawaii Sushi! Excellent food and service! Our kind of atmosphere. Clean and friendly. We’ll be back!“

“The staff at this restaurant was incredibly attentive, ensuring that my drink was never empty. The food was hot and fresh, with an incredible taste. The Korean fried chicken was my favorite item on the menu; it was amazing and had the perfect amount of spice. The kids loved the chicken katsu, which was so crunchy! The rolls were a great selection, and we will definitely be returning.“

“If youre looking for high energy entertainment, then you need Gabriel cooking for you at Ah-So. Our entire table loved him. He was fun and very energetic. He also did a great job cooking. He had us all laughing and even did a magic trick. We also ordered some vegetable tempura and shrimp shumai from the kitchen that were pretty good.

I dinged a couple points off atmosphere just because it seemed to take a while to be seated, then once we were seated, other tables got their chef way before we did even though we were there before they were. It was also a little awkward at the end with the hostess staff bringing new menus to the table and trying to set up when we were still there sitting. I get they are busy, but it seemed like they were rushing us out.

Otherwise, worth the trip for a special dinner with family or friends.“

“Sad to see the negative reviews about this place because I’ve had such a great experience! I love their miso ramen, tonkatsu ramen, and sweet and sour chicken. I order from here on DoorDash all the time, and it never disappoints. The broth is so flavorful, the pork is delicious, and the noodle texture is amazing. The sweet and sour chicken is also really good, different from Panda Express, it tastes more homemade than a fast food chain. Highly recommend!“

“This place is a must! The sushi we had was delicious and the presentation was stunning! All the rolls came out looking like a piece of artwork! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. It was our first time here and they took tremendous care of us. We can't wait to go back! They had multiple air purifiers inside and every one of the staff was wearing a mask. Everything was stunningly clean and we felt very safe and comfortable. They are definitely doing all they can for their guests during Covid-19!“

“wonderful food and excellent service“

“Amazing sushi, I was in desperate need of a sushi platter for a small party for my daughter, and no one could offer this platter for me, but Akaihana absolutely came through and helped me with great and fresh sushi! I was beyond happy with the fish and the platter! Thank you 🙏🏼“

“This is by far my favorite sushi place. Don't be fooled by the hole-in-the-wall vibe. The food is great, the prices are cheap, and most of all I love that the owners are waiting on you and cooking for you. I was afraid this small restaurant might not survive Covid but I'm super happy that they did. Let's all support good quality inexpensive mom and pop restaurants whenever we can!“

“First time visiting Kawaii Sushi! Excellent food and service! Our kind of atmosphere. Clean and friendly. We’ll be back!“

“I recently dined at Trapper’s Avondale and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional – the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure everything was just right throughout the meal. The atmosphere was spotless and inviting, with a clean, modern aesthetic that created a relaxing dining environment. As for the sushi, it was absolutely delicious! Every piece was fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor.“

“Such a gem! This vegetable egg foo yung was fantastic, all the vegetables were so varied in texture and density yet were each cooked to perfection, not soggy or rewarmed, but freshly sauteed with a light sauce, not gluey or oppressive, the egg foo yung patty was thick and generous (and there were 2). The rice comes in a separate little bowl which is esthetically pleasing, the service was quiet and prompt, the atmosphere was pleasingly dim, and the music was tasteful Asian easy listening, not overbearing or thumping. Just a fantastic pleasurable lunch with some of the freshest restaurant food I've ever eaten.“

“Wonderful foods.. Great service !“

“My 11 yr old LOVES Samurai Sams. He said its delicious and he would eat it everyday if he could! The blonde girl at the front is the absolute SWEETEST girl and gives the best customer service which is extremely hard to find these days! Also please remember this location doesn't have fried rice 🥲 but is still great!“

“Delicioso sushi muy diferente a todos los demás. Super higiénicos. Recomendadísimo.“

“Love this place. Delicious daily fresh food. Super yummy!!!!!“

“su sabor delicioso de la comida...y l atención al“

“Love this place! Plenty of seating. This spot always has a line, but it moves quickly. I love to get their number 1, chicken over noodles with veggies and i like to add a chicken egg roll. Ask for extra sauce on your meal! The food is affordable!!! Check them out.“

“Great neighborhood restaurant. Amazing food, portions are more than enough and friendly and very helpful staff. Will be back.“

“If you love hibachi like I do, do yourself a favor and come to Soy Hibachi House. Hibachi is one of my favorite foods, and I’m picky about it because I’ve had a lot of different places, including the more expensive spots. This place gives you that same delicious, satisfying experience for a much better price.

The food is consistently GOOD every time I come. The shrimp, chicken, steak are juicy, flavorful, and cooked right every time. The portions are generous too—plenty of rice, veggies, and enough food to have you full and happy. And let’s talk about the sauces… they do not play about the sauces here. So many options, all flavorful, and definitely worth getting extra.

What I also appreciate is that the service is always friendly and welcoming. This visit especially stood out because the energy was great and the staff made the experience even better. Shout out Jesus mi Amigo! And I told him that his name cause I love Jesus Christ and he said me too! Had a nice little chat! He took my order and him and cooked my food yassss greatness!

It may not be a huge fancy sit-down place, but that’s part of the charm. It has that hidden gem, local favorite vibe where the food speaks for itself.

I gave them every star it would let me give. Great food, great portions, great prices, and great people. I’ll absolutely keep coming back. And please tip your hardworking staff!
1 pic before the sauce 2 pic is after! Thank me later! I pray God blesses them and you too when you visit! 🙌🏾🩷✝️“

“I got my ordered delivered by Uber Eats. Let me just say this place is bomb and they have the original rolls like caterpillar and rainbow which is so hard to find in the valley. We also got the teriyaki bowl which my 3 yr old devoured and then my bf got the curry plate, I’m not a fan of curry but I did appreciate it didn’t smell very strong like curry. Great food !“

“Customer Service is great and food is delicious! We had a Phoenix Sushi Roll, Spicy seafood soup and teriyaki chicken.“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time if not the best ever. Great ramen also. Great atmosphere and dining definitely would go back.“

“I absolutely LOVE this place!!! This was the first place hubby brought me to when we were first dating, and it's still my favorite. The tepanyaki chefs are a hilarious bunch and I never get tired of their culinary antics. With that said, the food is what matters and I have never been disappointed. I ordered the scallops and my goodness they were HUGE!!! Hubby ordered the steak and it was so tender! Overall a great date night spot and also kid-friendly. The onion choo choo train trick always gets wide-eyed applause lol.“

“I made an online order and the food was hot and ready for me at the requested time. The team member was very polite and quick to get me out of the door.
The food was excellent and portions were big enough to leave me satisfied.
I'll be back again!“

“The sushi, happy hour and service ****“

“The honey shrimp was delicious.“

“I LOVE this place!! I eat here all the time, fresh food!“

“Yogi’s never disappoints. The food came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I ordered it. The staff was polite and worked fast even with a few people ahead of me. The teriyaki was flavorful, not dry or overly salty, and the veggies were cooked just right. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were solid. It’s an easy go-to when you want something fast that still feels like real food.“

“This place has it all!! My food was fresh and delicious. It was made quick and every bite is worth it.. I recommend u try this place. It’s amazing!! Thank you yogis staff members for all that you do. 🙂“
