This was a great meal! The side salad/soup/apps/entrees came out of the kitchen fairly spaced out so it felt almost like a fine dining experience. Did take a while so know that it is a whole dining experience - not just a quick meal out to eat. I got the Saba no Shioyaki grilled and liked that better than the sushi my partner got. The tempura was amazing and so was the Age Dashi Tofu appetizer!

The food was good but BEWARE they add 3.9% additional charge if you pay with credit card. Food is extremely slow so expect to wait at least 1hr to receive your food. Won’t be returning.

Amazing food, expertly prepared, in a casual but quite friendly... family... setting.
Possibly Pacifica's finest restaurant.
You will not be disappointed.

Family owned sushi spot worth visiting! The food took a bit but that's because the food is prepared by the grandfather. He puts alot into his food and it shows. It's small place that could be easily missed. Great sushi and we would love to come again when in the area.

Miso soup was the BEST I've ever had. Staff was super friendly, all the food was so delicious. I had the Ika Fry and Philly Roll. Highly recommend this place. If I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely be coming back!
Fantastic place. Staff was super friendly and food was delicious. Best Miso soup I've ever had!!
Oh my god! Absolutely love this place!! The food was amazing, the miso soup hit, and the service was just the cherry on top. We had the lovely old woman who served us with amazing humor and sass, it was just lovely interacting with her. The food was so good, we had the vegetable tempura dinner (amazing), the Charlie Brown roll (real crab!!!), the Kani Kosen (bomb), and the spicy tuna roll (I’m not a huge raw fish fan but the flavor was great)!

This place is legit, if you like Japanese food even a little bit you NEED to come here. It's like a restaurant was picked up out of Japan and dropped in the U.S.

This was my family and I's second visit at Kani Kosen. We love the freshness, the quality of the food, and the friendly service. Everything we have ordered so far has been a hit. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
Helped us celebrate a family birthday with excellent service and delicious sushi, sashimi, salads and appetizers. Generous servings. So fresh! Charming owners. Had a special toy car for my grandson, and very accommodating to our 12 and 6 year olds, too. A family treasure all around.
Dietary restrictions: Our waiter kindly suggested options for low salt diet for my husband.

You feel like family! Our first time and we will return as much as possible! Everything homemade and authentic. I am Italian and felt very similar to being in an Italian restaurant- they want you to leave full and happy- they want you to feel like you are home- I am sending eveyone I know! Must try the broccali dip sauce and homemade terriaki!
