I had an amazing first experience at this local gem thanks to my real estate agent next door, who suggested I try their poke bowls—and wow, she was right. I’m a big fan of Asian-inspired food, and this place delivered in every way.
I ordered their puffy poke bowl and one of the appetizers—I think it was called the Heart Attack or Heart Stopper—and both were shockingly good. The quality of the fish and ingredients was outstanding, especially for the price. I honestly don’t know how they’re able to serve such high-quality, fresh poke for less than what national chain restaurants charge for smaller portions and inferior ingredients.
The service was friendly, the restaurant was very clean and well-kept, and my food arrived in a respectable amount of time—no long wait at all. Everything about the experience made me want to come back.
If this spot was on the other side of town, I’d be there once a week, no question. I really hope more people discover this place because we need more locally owned restaurants like this in town—places that serve great food, take pride in their service, and treat customers right.
Probably not a valid critique but wish they had beer on tap options.
Highly recommend to anyone craving fresh, flavorful, and affordable poke bowls or Asian-style appetizers in town!

This coconut margarita was delicious! Hot Rolls- Philadelphia too – service, I asked for one thing and he brought another, it took a while… and when I needed an attendant there was no one there.

The husband started with his usual Hot Sake. They brought out Miso Soup and Salad first. Not a big soup fan, he liked it though. Salad had a Carrot Ginger dressing which I also don’t normally go for but I enjoyed this one. He ordered Gyoza, another fave, deep fried this time and Loved them! I got my Veggie Tempura, also super yummy!
Next was Sushi Rolls. I got the Lobster Monster. My husband chose 2 raw rolls, the Red Dragon and Superstar. Finally 2 veggie rolls to share, the Hot Lady and Veggie Dream. The rolls were all good. We’ve had better, we’ve had way worse. None really got us excited.
Onto the entrees. Here is where this place absolutely Excelled! He got the Pork Katsu Curry. Loved the Katsu, LOVED the Curry, said it was some of the best he’s had. Total winner for sure! I was stoked about the Build Your Own Poke Bowl! They have a few standard options or for a couple bucks more you can just pick what you want. The tofu was great, Mango sauce fantastic, veggies were yummy. I’d order that again in a heartbeat!
Lastly I went with a drink special, the Dragon Bite. She said many people think it’s too strong but I thought the citrus and berry components blended well. Our server Erika was great, everyone there seemed very attentive. This place has definitely earned a spot in our regular rotation!

Recently went here with my sister, and I really enjoyed it! We ordered the Tuna Tataki starter, and it was so good, the perfect level of fresh and spicy. We then split two sushi rolls, which were both good. I am always hesitant when ordering raw salmon, but this one tasted super fresh! I loved the vibe of the place as well. Our server was also very attentive and nice!

This was our first time going to Kinja. The service was really good!!
We ordered a couple of lunch specials. I got a hot mess and sake nigiri and my wife got a couple cooked rolls and I forget which. You get miso soup and a salad with the lunch specials.
Oh yeah, we got some gyoza too and they were really good!
The sushi itself was really good. My wife and I don’t really like miso soup, but I thought I would give it a try here too. I did not like it but it was the best I have had if that makes sense. So that is nothing on them.
The salad looked like it was premade and sitting in a refrigerator for a while. Some of the dressing was coagulated on top of the dressing and super watery at the bottom of the bowl. Not great, but could have been better.
My main gripe and the reason the rating is 2 stars is the place seemed pretty dirty. Dust in lots of corners. Low lighting on railings that looked pretty dirty… it just made me worry about the cleanliness of any kitchen/prep areas with the lack of attention to cleaning in the dining area. I liked the food a lot and would like to go back, but we probably won’t due to this.

We were seated in one of the booth which was so cute, I love it. The Food was great, I had to try the OMG sushi and she got the bento box which was a lot, value for your buck. Our server was the absolute best and very knowledgeable of the menu. We will be back

Great service and excellent sushi. Was there with a group, including kids, and our server offered great options for the kids if they didn’t want sushi and some kid friendly sushi suggestions if they wanted to try it. All the rolls we ordered were delicious. I highly suggest the Triple Threat, it was amazing. They also offer take out.

Great neighborhood spot for lots of great Asian dishes. Good for sushi, bento boxes, Korean dishes, udon noodles and my favorite the poke bowls are absolutely delicious!!! The poke bowls are on a separate menu that you can create your own bowl. They are super fun to create and just are loaded with flavors and texture. I highly recommend the poke bowls.

Highly recommend Kinja for your next sushi outing. Why? Because it is the best in Lincoln! Their sushi selection is outstanding!… from the everyday California Roll, to the unexpected house specialty rolls – there is always something new to put on our plate… and the taste is all so good, too – so many to choose from! Not only that, the atmosphere is top notch – beautiful ‘n elegant – and the staff is always very friendly. Go to Kinja the next time you feel like sushi – I guarantee, you will be very pleased!!!~
