We ordered the Lobster Ramen, 8-piece Sashimi, Katsu Chicken, Vegetable Tempura, Lion King Roll, Kamikaze Roll, and Sake Nigiri. We arrived an hour and a half before the kitchen closed, and they were happy to seat us and take our order.

The service was as expected, and overall, the food was enjoyable. The sashimi was fresh and generously portioned, while the Lobster Ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with tender noodles. The Katsu and Tempura were fried to a light golden perfection, and the rolls were well-prepared.

However, I'm giving 2 stars because the Sake Nigiri was never brought to our table, though we were charged for it. When we asked, the server mentioned it was included with the sashimi, but it clearly wasn't, as Sake Nigiri is served over a mound of vinegared sushi rice, which was not in the bowl. Unfortunately, they didn't adjust the bill or bring out the missing item.

Says they are open during lunch time. Walked in at 3 pm and staff is eating and decided to close early without any sign. Rude about it as well. Wasted my Uber here for sure.

This is a very nice place the food is good, the atmosphere is good, and it has an overall really good feeling. The ramen was very good and it was very friendly. I recommend the black garlic ramen because it has so many flavors, and it tastes very good.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kigawa Bistro, and my experience was nothing short of amazing. The sushi was incredibly delicious, with each piece showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making every bite a delight.

Beyond the exceptional food, the warm and welcoming atmosphere truly made the experience memorable. The staff greeted me with genuine friendliness, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Their attentive service throughout the meal only added to the enjoyment.

Overall, Kigawa Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience that combines delicious sushi with top-notch service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a warm and inviting setting. I will definitely be returning!

Dropped in for a few rolls and really liked the food. I thought that each of the rolls we got were diverse in flavor and interesting. The restaurant is small and feels nicely modern and clean. I enjoyed the cpop music and natural lighting from all the windows. The service was okay, maybe a bit pushy at first. They close in the afternoon to prep for dinner I think but it did not appear to be the case on Google so thought that was strange

I saw this place on YouTube offering their all you can eat menu and it got me really excited! However it became one of the worst sushi experiences of my life. I came in at around 6:30pm and I waited until 8:15pm for only the first round to finish! They even only limit you to 15 dishes at a time. The place wasn’t even packed. There were only 4 tables in use.

On top of the slow pace, the sushi tasted really off. To the point that my friends didn’t want to eat it. The uni was bitter, the toro had tendons in it, and some of the fish just tasted off. However the fried chicken and the fried rice was good.

At the end of the meal we had half fried rice leftover we didn’t want to finish and our waitress scolded us for ordering too much. I thought that was really rude and told her we have been here for 3 hours and none of the food was coming out, who eats continuously for 3 hours?

Overall, a really disappointing experience. It just felt stingy and as a customer I feel a little cheated.

Ordered the chirashi bowl and about half an hr for the food to arrive. The portion of the fish was on the smaller side, and the rice was a bit too vinegar-y. There was only 1 server managing the entire restaurant.

Very yummy Sushi and wide variety of dishes. I really enjoyed the beef teriyaki bento box.

Did a little pit stop and found this place convenient. Parking isn’t bad but we beat the lunch rush. Great service and not ridiculous prices.We didn’t get to try the ramen but our choices of selected special rolls and appetizers did not disappoint us. We will come back!

This place was great and had good food but not enough for five stars tbh. Some of the food items are great and some are okay and need a bit more seasoning. Sometimes it's hard to get the attention of the staff. Some of the items are a bit pricy.
