“As someone who has visited many Japanese restaurants over the years, I can honestly say Kichi Bar is one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Every dish showed the chef’s skill, attention to detail, and clear passion for Japanese cuisine. From the very fresh sashimi and perfectly made sushi to the rich uni pasta and beautifully cooked Wagyu steak, everything was excellent. Each item had its own distinct flavor, and it was obvious that a lot of care went into every detail. This wasn’t just a good meal. It was a memorable dining experience. One of the highlights of the evening was the non-alcoholic cocktails made by the bartender. They were refreshing, beautifully presented, and paired really well with the food. Each drink complemented the dishes and made the meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere. It feels elegant but not overly formal, and the private dining room made the experience feel even more special. It was the perfect setting for a relaxed yet upscale dinner. The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone on the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. What stood out most was how knowledgeable they were. They explained each dish clearly and answered every question with confidence. That level of service made the experience feel personal and memorable. Kichi Bar is much more than a sushi restaurant. Everything came together perfectly, from the chef’s cooking and the bartender’s creative drinks to the excellent service and beautiful atmosphere. It was a meal I will remember for a long time.
I don’t give five star reviews often, but Kichi Bar truly deserves it. I look forward to coming back.“

“Our family of four stopped in for dinner last night to try out our new neighborhood spot and it was so good! The inside is nicely decorated and they have tables and floor tables for dining. The kids got a big kick out of sitting on floor pillows for dinner. The menu is extensive with Korean and Japanese items — including hibachi and sushi! Everything is reasonably priced and is meant to be a fast casual dine-in or takeout spot. So Carrollton folks — if you find yourself going to Sushi Kadan or another neighborhood joint — try this one out too! We have another spot for a tasty and healthy dinner. Kid friendly too! Support local!“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. The Poke Bowls and Hibachi are definitely the highlights — everything tastes fresh, well prepared, and the portions are great.

Marco’s professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly attitude truly set the standard for excellent hospitality. It’s clear he takes pride in both the food and the guest experience. Thank you, Marco, for always making each visit to Hanaya an enjoyable one!“

“Great food and service…Best I have ever had.“

“This is a great little sushi place. We've ordered from several places in the local area and definitely like this one the best. We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and are never disappointed. We have tried the Crunch Salmon, Super Crunch, Tornado, Cowboy, California Roll, and Green Hulk just to name a few. All were very delicious.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2015, and after more than a decade it is still one of my favorite restaurants. The food is consistently fresh and beautifully prepared. The ginger dressing is hands-down the best I’ve ever had, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and even the jasmine rice with toasted black sesame seeds shows the attention to detail they put into every meal. The staff is warm, attentive, and incredibly efficient. Today they refilled my miso soup without me asking and even boxed my leftovers for me at the table—something I usually only experience in fine dining restaurants. And all of that, including iced tea, came to under $17. This place is an absolute gem.“
