It was okay. There were bones in my sashimi. The grilled scallops were tough. The prices are high and the wait to get in is long. I've had much better sushi elsewhere for less. Maybe this place is better for its grilled food?

Very amazing sushi everytime. I got the white tuna as an extra nigiri, honestly it was the best tuna out of the bunch tonight and was completely melt-in-your-mouth. Absolutely delicious!!

Amazing unagidon and chirashi. The nigiri and sashimi are fresh and delicious. Pretty pricey but worth it .
Delicious food and service! Such fresh sashimi

Some of the worst
After all the hype I'm sorry to say, it's expensive and ORDINARY
My sisters husband was a chez panisse chef for years and they dined here back in the day.
Sadly it needs a food menu upgrade.
Plus they shuffled us out after an hour. As patrons for dinner I understand? But seriously, to have to do so, and have mediocre food after all these years (some of which the waiter couldn't describe), was a big let down. Sorry Kirala. Too many others in the neighborhood for you to get a better review.

Delicious as always. Go when they open for a sure table. This place gets packed fast.

Solid spot. Service is good, food is above average for the area
Had a great solo experience at the grill table!
Once again, Kirala treats the solo customer terribly. Not only did the front end guy argue with me because I didn't want to be shooed back to the drink bar, instead choosing to stand out of the way (there were no other customers lined up), but when a two person table opened, I was not offered it (seated at a table doesn't hurt my back, but they want you to sit at the sushi bar). The customer that came in afyer me was waiting for her companion and was given the table, even though I arrived first and her party was not completed. I said, you obviously don't want me as a customer, noted this has happened many times and left. I will not give them another try. For literally decades, they have been rude to solo customers who would, like me, spend more than most couples. Their loss.
I love this place. The fish is exquisite, and there are excellent grilled short ribs which I will be coming back for.
Lovely , tasty . Fun hang.
