Editorial Review for Kiriko Sushi – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
Behind its gold-tinged concrete facade, this mini-mall restaurant comprises little more than a sushi bar and a few closely spaced tables; flower-filled bud vases add a hint of color. Chef-owner Ken Namba's oferings range from simple to adventurous. Menu highlights include a spinach salad with six kinds of mushrooms; mango wrapped in house-smoked salmon; and honey balsamic teriyaki chicken. For dessert, tamago custard and homemade white truffle and brown sugar-ginger ice cream are house specialties.

Took a client from Japan and I was a little disappointed. The sushi was not up to par from my last visit. Maybe it was an off day, the sushi was a 5 out of 10 and the kitchen was a 7 out of 10 on the night that we went. My guest enjoyed it very much, he said the sake menu had a good selection, and the service was good. This was probably an off day.

took them 2 hours to prepare 3 dishes...4 of us ordered 'omakase-pre fixe' sushi dinner which was about 80 bucks per person..by the 2nd hour, all of us were hungry, tired, and lost interests...we comlained, but failed to get apology from the owner..happened on 7-29 Sunday around 7 PM..
Pros: good food
