Found a new favorite sushi spot near work and home. My favorite dishes are crispy salmon skin salad, tofu salad, and grilled Saba. I tried raw fish tuna was very fresh and it melted in your mouth- felt so bam ?

Really excellent sushi quality. I got some of the best toro I have had in Southern California here. Beautiful selection of fish both locally and flown in, very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

A charming and almost minimalist atmosphere which provides a sense of calm and well-being. No blaring music, no garish televisions- just polite conversation and the peaceful sound of chopping against cutting-boards.
The sushi chefs were very welcoming, polite, and skilled.
The server Sam was exceedingly warm, knowledgeable, and courteous.
My only complaint can be issued towards the server with a beard and backwards baseball cap. This individual struck me as contemptuous and discourteous. I am a bartender here in Claremont and am fully aware of the small behaviors by which a server might treat a customer with scorn. The individual in question needs a talking-to regarding the basic expectations of a server.
Other than that, the food was top-notch. There isn't a better sushi restaurant in Claremont.

It is a nice Japanese restaurant. I have been here once, in December of 2022. I came here on a Friday afternoon, to have a dinner. Of course, when I came, the place was packed. Therefore, I had to wait about 10-20 minutes, just to get seated. Still, the wait was worth it. The staff, who worked during that shift, were really helpful and attentive. If I remember correctly, I have ordered several sushi meals and cooked salmon. Those meals were delicious. Without the meals, the ambiance was great. Of course, prices were on the expensive side. Regardless, of prices, I do not regret spending my cash in this establishment. Still, I would recommend to eat in this establishment. For people, who have discretionary funds available. Since it can get pricey. Definitely, when I have some discretionary funds, I will visit this restaurant again!

Service is horrible, we were first sitted, but we ended up the last to be served. And the two waitresses didn't even apologize or feel sorry about that. Food was served extremely slow, we ordered three dinner entries, and had to finish one completely then received the next one. So awkward because we 3 ppl had to share one damn plate, like we just came out from prison. The waitress finally showed a bit manner by saying a thank you because she wanted a bigger tips. Never come back.

I will never eat at another sushi place again, especially in this area ! Kisetsu is the real deal. The fish is EXTREMELY fresh and the best quality I have had in a number of years. The service is superb and the owner Joel and team bring a fun vibe while in a nice cozy setting. I can't say enough about how good the food is here and a bonus is the affordable price points ! My friend who doesn't historically eat sushi now eats sushi after eating here! We can't wait to come back very soon. Thank Joel and team for such a great experience !

This is a surprising sushi gem in the IE. I never expected such great sushi in the area. This place can go head-to-head with any place in Gardena or Torrance. Chel Joel is entertaining, friendly and knowledgeable. He has fish you can’t get anywhere else, and it’s expertly selected. I no longer have to drive far to get good sushi, you will not be disappointed!!
