I enjoyed their selections of sushi. What stood out to me was that they were able to make a new broth of tonkotsi ramen for me after I expressed that the non-spicy broth they had was still spicy. They were super nice about resolving the issue. I did enjoy the margarita just that it didn't include the salt on the rim. Nonetheless, I still recommend people to eat and drink here.

Great food, drinks, and service.

Firstly, the food is always good here! We were in a couple nights for my daughter’s 18th birthday and the food was the ONLY thing that wasn’t disappointing.
I’ve been to Konichiwa several times - Jubilee & Ben always give great service and they are why I’ve returned. That was not my experience on Wednesday evening!
Started out fine, we were greeted & our orders were taken. (We did mention to the server that it was my daughter’s 18th birthday.)
Food came out at different times, which wasn’t a problem. However once all the food came out, we only saw our server one more time. I ordered avocado tempura from the assistant sever around 6:45 and when it still hadn’t come 20 minutes later, I got our server’s attention and asked about it. She didn’t seem to know anything about it so I guess it was ordered then. Nothing was communicated to us if there was an issue or the kitchen was behind. They weren’t busy; there were no other tables inside for the first half of our visit.
Another 15 minutes passed and I asked the server if they were coming, “they’re taking their sweet time” she said, referring to the kitchen. When yet another 10 minutes passed, I got up from the table and went to find our server to cancel the order. She didn’t come out; I told the bus girl/server assistant.
We still didn’t see our server at that point and when she finally came over, I handed her some of our empty plates and my daughter ordered dessert.
The desserts were not delivered by our server and there was no candle or even a “Happy Birthday”. (I wasn’t expecting anything free, but a candle would’ve been nice.)
They finished dessert and no one had come over to drop the check or see if we needed anything else. (Now that I think about it, our water was never refilled at any point.) They were closing and had put all the chairs up. I didn’t mind the chairs but we were being ignored and shouldn’t have had to ask for our $200+ check.
We waited longer and finally had to get up for someone to bring us our check (not our server). We paid (and tipped) and never saw her again. By the time we left, I felt so unwelcome and like WE were an inconvenience. Extremely disappointing service!! I am not the type to leave a review without first giving the manager a chance to fix it but we literally never saw our server again. I’m a bartender and so grateful when guests spend money, especially in this economy. My daughter picked Konichiwa weeks ago for her milestone birthday and I will never go back again.

Much improved from my last visit several years ago. So glad we gave it another shot. You should too!

Had a fantastic experience at Konnichiwa. I ordered the protein poke bowl and the fish was absolutely delicious! So fresh. Portions were a great value!

I also ordered the calamari and they nailed it.

The restaurant has all this beautiful art!

Great food, great value

Today, during a walk, we came here for lunch. We took a box for two and the portion is really big. The food is quite tasty. Deliciously cooked. I didn't like that my water tasted like dishwashing detergent😕
The service is nice. Our order was served quickly.
In general, the impression is positive, but there are some disadvantages.

The service was good, however, the sushi was subpar, kind what you can get from a supermarket.

I ordered a salmon teriyaki bento box for lunch/dinner. They have good service, although delayed, I was mostly disappointed with the teriyaki sauce. It was more like a soup than a sauce, so it was not quite as tasty or rich in flavor. I also took most of it to go in the container they packaged my order in at the restaurant as a to go order. The soupy teriyaki sauce got all over everything in the tray, so It was completely soggy and not edible by the time I got home. The bag also leaked teriyaki soup all over my car floor mat. The sushi, tempura veggies, dumpling, and rice were ALL soaked in teriyaki soup and soggy. I had to throw away at least 50% of my $20 meal. It wasn't tasty enough to be worth the hassle or to try to go back here again, unfortunately.
