I visited Kawa and my server Sophia was fantastic! She gave me great suggestions for rolls and I loved what she recommended. She was so sweet and attentive, making sure we were completely taken care of. I will definitely be back!

Food is always good here! Long time eater, first time reviewer. We live between Grand Rapids and Big Rapids, and this is our go-to for sushi. Cool, over the top rolls that you won't see elsewhere. Their lasagna roll reminds me of a roll I use to get at our favorite place in Washington DC. From the saki to the croquettes to the ramen to the rolls... the deliciousness never ends. Love, love, love this place!

Bluefin Tuna Nagiri - typical. Tasty
Takoyaki - it was great
Yakisoba - meh. Too much ponzu or whatever that creamy sauce was. I would suggest asking for a light drizzle
Spicy Pucker Roll - so good. Definitely try it!
Total was $50 before tip. We left with a lot of leftovers.
