Sushi Kushi Too

New to area and Unilocal.I love Japanese food & stopped in at sushi Kushi too. The food & service were very good and will definitely go back

The sushi was not fresh at all. Even the rice was stale. I sat outside when it was warm out and enjoyed the ambiance but that’s the only thing I liked. I do not recommend this restaurant to people who appreciate good sushi

I love this place. No changes. I’ve had loads of different items on the menu with the same results. Incredible food, great atmosphere, and fair prices.

This place is good but the one in lake forest is WAAAAYYY!!! better. Worth the drive. The rolls at this one just look sloppier when they are made compared to the ones in lake forest and the guac always seems brown from here whereas it is never anything but fluorescent green at the Lake forest location. I think same owners so don’t really understand why it is this way but hmmmmm. Honestly I could walk to the one in highland park but regularly do carry out from LF.

It’s been five years, but time for some updates (five years!?!).
I went here last night and ate outside with a friend. When we first got there, we were told there was a wait, and I usually am Not Here For That, but we had time on our hands and weren’t super hungry, so it was fine. After we walked around for 15 minutes, we came back. Throughout this whole process, most of the people who work here are very obvious when it comes to showing how annoyed they are with people waiting around for tables.
We had slow service outside — but we weren’t in a hurry. The brittle hot tuna is smaller than it used to be but still tastes fine. Pretty noticeable downsizing though. And the Red Dragon roll was predictably good, in all its Americanized glory. This might seem like a small complaint, but if you get soda there, be prepared for flat stuff that tastes like it’s been sitting at the back of the fridge for two months.
I could easily go back here, but it’s gone slightly downhill. Of course, people will still go, so they really have no reason to make it any better.

I have been going to here for years on and off. I’ve found that the sushi is consistent and they have a nice menu of non sushi Japanese dishes.
The atmosphere is nice but can get loud depending on the crowd. It is a fun place that my family likes to go to. The meals can range from moderate to costly.
All in all I would say that it is a place that is consistently good and you can have a meal at any price point.

Oh how I wanted to give this place 4 stars like their counter part in Lake Forest. Unfortunately I just can’t after my two trips here. I have to admit I came specifically to try their ramen and neither visit really satisfied me. First off, I don’t know why, but they have a separate menu just for ramen which is fine, but they don’t give you this menu! On both occasions I’ve had to specifically ask for it.
So I had the Taiwanese Tonkatsu ramen which 1) tasted nothing like Taiwanese ramen as I’ve had the real thing in Taiwan multiple times 2) was spicy as hell (and Taiwanese ramen is not usually spicy) I don’t recall the menu saying spicy either. Now this wouldn’t be problematic because I actually like spicy foods and can take it pretty well… however, the soup literally burned my mouth and throat. So that made it rather difficult to eat and enjoy. It was so spicy that my companions started dumping ice water in to make it less so.
Second visit. I realized okay, maybe we should stay away from the Taiwanese ramen. This time I had just the plain tonkatsu ramen since I figured you can’t really mess it up. Luckily there was no surprise spice so it was much more pleasant to eat. But that was just it. It was a very plain bowl of ramen that’s nothing like the real Japanese deal. The broth isn’t well developed, the meat is at most average, and the egg seemed like it was just hard boiled and then thrown in.
On the plus side, we had no problems getting seated right away and the service was decent. It’s a pretty cute place too. Until I return and try an actual non-​ramen entrée, 3 stars will suffice for this Sushi Kushi location.

I used to love this place. It was my go to place for ramen but something happened here. It changed somehow.
My husband and I used to deliberately come here for ramen but after today’s visit I am probably never going back. The appetizers were great but the donkatsu ramen and Taiwan ramen were pretty bad. The broth was just too salty and didn’t have the deep broth flavor. The Taiwanese ramen also had changed. The meat might not have been cooked because I could smell the pork. The broth was also salty and just sub par. We both did not finish the ramen.
Other than the entrees, appetizer and service was good.
