Kawaii Sushi

OK… Love the remodeling, the service, the fish… Power protein roll 2 — nicely wrapped.

Good sushi for a decent price. Staff was very friendly and they even changed the tv so that we could watch the football game while we ate. Our toddler enjoyed their chicken teriyaki with vegetables. Will definitely dine here again and try more of their rolls

Kidding me? They just sent message to me that delivery system is closed u guys had to tell me early i just waiting for 30mit and just cancel my order? Suck place

Danny is an excellent suishi chef that will make you feel invited and always have you coming for more.
My wife and I get sushi here once a week.

Danny is the best sushi chef ever! The quality and freshness of the fish is like no other! I also can’t get over the HAPPY HOUR prices! Garlic edamame for $ 2 and beers and sake for $ 1 – 2. Unreal! This is my new go-​to spot for sushi.

Got to admit… I was a little hesitant on going to this place. But I am glad I did! Sushi was pretty delicious. And fresh. Will be coming back to this place.

the curry taste like gravy or the pack of curry sauce you can get from super market
The spider roll has a very small piece in a sushi roll that will cost $ 12 to that
For happy hour the salad itself cost $ 5 small portion
the rice was hard
Sashimi was not fresh
Overprice overall with low quality of food
Will not go there again

I ordered delivery through Unilocal tonight, which is my first time using this service and my first time getting sushi from here. All in all, I’m very happy with both experiences.
I decided to try a couple of sushi rolls and the steamed gyoza. The fish was fresh and the rolls were delicious. Their price for rolls isn’t bad either, the basics like a California Roll and Philadelphia Roll are only about $ 5 (score). The specialty rolls ring in between $ 10 – 15 for the most part. The gyoza was amazing, I was surprised by how flavorful the filling was. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re thinking of getting an appetizer.
The delivery service brought my food in about 20 minutes and I got to enjoy a delicious sushi dinner without having to leave my house. Win, win!

Another shout out fit Danny and Kawaii Sushi! I’m always craving this and never disappointed. The food is so fresh and so good, feeling satisfied from a good meal is well understood here. Eventually I hope to capture all the delicious items in the menu but we already have 12 or more photos from our great evenings and afternoons. We hope you enjoy the food as we have.

Because we have found that reviews in San Diego have been too generous we walked into Kawaii not expecting much but the moment we walked in their we were happy with the service. The Gyoza, cream cheese won tons, miso soup are all great. The Japanese curry is really good and the rolls and nigiri are fresh and super tasty as well. The only issue I have is the no delivery and that spicy tuna rolls do not have any Japanese spicy mayo on the West Coast. Although we will definitely be back more than once.

Searched help on a whim for some sushi and came across Kawaii sushi on Mission Gorge. We started off with cream cheese wontons; very good!
I ordered the Angry Dragon Roll (Shrimp tempura, cream cheese, Cucumber (I asked for the roll without), spicy tuna, and spicy mayo. The roll has a little spice to it, which I loved. Most places call it spicy mayo, but it’s not spicy… here, they mean it!
My girlfriend got the Yum Yum roll (Shrimp Tempura, Cucumber, spicy tuna, seared salmon (she substituted crab for the salmon), then added avocado and unagi). She loved the roll; full of flavor!
We will be back for sure!

I wasn’t a big sushi fan till I came here, our server name was holly, super nice and attentive. She also took the time to tell us what each roll had as well, not like other servers that snap or point at the menu. Danny their sushi chef is amazing, he’s very attentive. This place is really cute, kinda like a hello kitty theme place. Didn’t feel awkard at all, not like some places I’ve tried out. Parking is ehh, alright. My friend and I decided to get a lobster roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Must I say it was delicious! Everything was fresh as well. Definitely will be coming back!

I never went when it was Kimmi but as soon as the name changed there were signs and it seemed more welcoming. I had ordered take out twice and then my mom and I decided to sit at the sushi bar one night. The sushi chef always seemed warm and friendly.
The food is good, and reasonably priced; it is interesting that the nigiri is listed as 1 piece. Not sure what happened the night we went in but we sat at the sushi bar, took a long time to even get menus or water; the waitress seemed very overwhelmed and the main guy was yelling at the other sushi chef. The food was good but it was far from the experience that we wanted to have sitting at the sushi bar. I think I’ll stick to take out

I’ve came here before when it had the name Kimmi’s sushi. I am in love with the vanilla tempura ice cream from before and after a year I decided to come back for it. I also loved the udon which I didn’t try this time, but will come back for it.
The décor is completely different. Colorful kiddy walls and a great looking bar. This isn’t a huge restaurant but it’s sushi and gets the job done.
The menu is very, very long and overwhelming. Every thing is just bunched up lines after lines after lines that just follow and it’s just confusing. Holly was nice and able to help us find the shrimp tempura rolls. She memorized the ingredients of every roll so that was easy.
My long desire to get my ice cream. The batter was perfect. The only problem is the ice cream was Icy. Not creamy vanilla. But more like broken ice cubes flavored in vanilla. I’ve tasted the ice cream here before when it was perfect so I expect more.
Personally, I work at a sushi restaurant as well so I only ordered a shrimp tempura roll togo for my mother. She said it was okay compared to my work.
I’ll come back again to actually EAT real food here soon but don’t let me cloud your judgment. You should still definitely check this place out.

I just expected a place that was called Kawaii + had pictures of Hello Kitty shaped sushi to actually have kawaii-​looking food. Nope.
Nothing special about this place, I tried a bunch of rolls … not bad, not amazing, just ok.
I do, however, recommend you get the Danny sauce which is a spicy ponzu sauce :)

The service was good :)
Sushi was delicious
I had no compliant
It was a small cute place
The have a bar and like one area for a larger group

Upon walking in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The décor is a bit cheesy unless you’re a teenage girl I suppose. The sign out front has some Japanese character that kind of reminds me of Hello Kitty’s relative. Posters of similar characters hang on the wall on the inside. The first page of the menu has a picture of Hello Kitty made out of food. I was wondering if this place was really supposed to be Sushi Sanrio.
Kawaii Sushi is pretty good. One of the better sushi places I have been to recently. It is also very affordable. For 2 iced teas, a Sapporo, thing of sake, and 4 rolls… $ 40. Usually these «affordable» sushi places are not very good, and the fish quality is bad. I found the fish to be fresh, and the food to be flavorful.
Our rolls were: lion king roll, rainbow roll, fantastic roll, and we had one more but unfortunately I cant remember the name and I forgot to take a picture. But it was good nonetheless. The best out of the bunch was the rainbow roll. It had 3 different varieties of fish on top. ¹⁄₃ was salmon, ¹⁄₃ was tuna, the last was shrimp. Nice flavor, fresh tasting. The fantastic roll was huge and covered in eel sauce and spicy mayo. If you like those types of rolls I recommend this one. All cooked I believe. Topped with krab and roe. Lion king roll was my least favorite and I will probably pass on this one in the future. Again 3 varieties of fish on top. Yellowtail, tuna, and salmon. Inside was ground spicy tuna. It was good, just the others were better.
I recommend Kawaii Sushi. I will definitely return here again. I would like to try their Nigiri since the fish was fresh tasting and not chewy or fishy.

The place was really cute, I love the décor. But I honestly had better. The rolls were okay. I thought the presentation was great though. Tried a few things people reviewed on. And honestly, eh.
I think it’s awesome that they have a kids menu. Some parts of the menu I really wish they spaced it out more. Because it was kind of hard to read the page with the rolls, everything was squeezed tightly together. Felt a little rush when two servers came over at different times asking if we were ready when we obviously we’re still squinting at the menu.
We tried 4 rolls and I probably only liked one of them. They weren’t bad but they were exactly great either. They were decent. The staff was nice though.
I’m not sure if I’d come here again, I just wanted to check out the place since they remodeled and everything and new management I believe.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-​turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I had the best tasting fish treated with care.
Now to get serious, this place is best served raw. What I mean is there are many reasons I would come back here, but since the list is long, I’ll name a few.
Atmosphere and ambiance is nice and modern as most are but this place has its quirks. Next is the friendly staff who try to always accommodate water refills and the sushi master who is so personable, Danny. Every roll I had was delicious from the lemon roll to the deep fried rolls. His hot sauce is delicious beyond compare. I would eat it on most rolls. Speaking of which, are not injected with too much rice, but portioned nicely and layered with crisp and clean fish.

I stopped in this sushi bar after work hoping to unwind, have a cold brew, and no doubts acquire to some great eats. I was able to accomplish all three things by saddling up to the sushi bar, drinking $ 1 Sapporo, and opening month special, and tekka maki roll, a cherry blossom sashimi roll, and an order of salmon sashimi.
I first tackled the tekka maki roll. It was basic, but that’s the reason why I ordered it. I am not into all those fancy rolls all dolled with sauces and such. The tuna that came in this particular cut roll was a bright crimson, had a rich oily flavor, and with smooth texture. This roll did not have wasabi neatly tucked inside, but I took care of that right away.
The cherry blossom sashimi roll was not only beautifully presented, but tasted great as well. You can choose your fish, so I went with red snapper, salmon, and albacore. All three fish were great, and I liked the salmons richness, only to be contrasted by the snappers light flavor and texture, and then followed up with the albacore’s mild buttery flavor. The roe on top was great and added a nice pop, and the crisps vegetables added some nice clean texture.
The salmon sashimi was also nicely presented in a nice tight roll served on a bed of cucumber and daikon. The sashimi came with five pieces and each piece was rich, buttery, and with a smooth texture. The salmon was great to eat with dallop of wasabi and dabs of soy sauce.
I ate a the sushi bar, where I met the manager and sushi chef, who turned out to be a knowledgeable and quite a nice fellow. Service was good, but I would of liked to have seen the floor servers with more smiles on their faces.
