Had reservations for a business lunch (and all the OpenTable confirmations before arriving), and got there and the restaurant was closed with a note on the door.

First time here. Sat at the sushi bar. I was disappointed that they didn’t have uni available, but that was soon replaced by joy and satisfaction with the sashimi selections. The salmon skin salad was the best we’ve had in CA. The skin was crispy while the salmon remains meaty and luscious. The albacore onion sashimi melted in my mouth. All the sashimi we ordered was well seasoned with yuzu or fresh wasabi or nothing and we followed our chefs insanity dipping or not. Definitely not a mix wasabi and soy sauce place. Our final selection was the lemon albacore roll. Amazing! Next time we’re in town, Kiitsu will be in our destination list.

We were one of three or four tables, yet the food simply would not come out. At some point the waitress had to remind the chef to make our order. He was apparently prepping for evening the whole time. Terrible cuts of fish, no flavor, strangely shaped ikura sushi, scallop sushi was two ill- combined bits of fish. Barely any fish choices outside of basics on nigiri menu. We cancelled the rest of our order and left. Easily the worst sushi experience I’ve had in ages. No clue how they have a decent rating on Yelp.

A typical Japanese restaurant in a wealthy area. Poor quality of nigiri and rolls. Way overpriced!

I love Kiitsu and it's started becoming our regular place to go on Friday for an early dinner and I occasionally sneak away for lunch there. The ingredients are so fresh and outstanding and Lionel and his staff are amazing. I always get the salmon skin salad, which I've started to crave on a daily basis and maguro. We also generally get the chicken teriyaki also. The milk cream and strawberry mochi is the perfect end to a meal. The vibe and interiors are on par with the food. Thank you for the perfect meal every time!

Went for the first time last night and this will now be one of our favorite go-to restaurants! The setting and ambience was perfect for a quiet date night. No rush, great service and friendly staff. Presentation and quality of food was outstanding. Excellent menu options. We loved it!
