Kushiyu: A Premier Sushi Experience
Kushiyu holds the distinction of being the first sushi restaurant I visited over thirty years ago. Introduced by my good friend Marco, I was initially hesitant to try sushi. However, it quickly became my favorite cuisine.
The albacore sushi was impeccably chilled, with a texture that melted in my mouth. The white rice was perfectly prepared, complemented by an exquisite dressing that subtly enhanced the fresh taste of the albacore.
The atmosphere at Kushiyu is vibrant and uplifting, thanks to the spirited sushi chefs. Their culinary expertise is evident in the beautifully presented sushi, each piece a mouthwatering masterpiece. My personal favorite is the Spicy Tuna Sushi, featuring fresh chopped tuna with just the right amount of spice, green onions, and a light dressing atop a quickly fried square of rice.
Over the years, I have visited numerous sushi restaurants, but none compare to the freshness of the fish, the quality of the food, the lively atmosphere, and the friendliness of the sushi chefs at Kushiyu. I extend my gratitude to Taka and Elilio, who have been crafting my favorite dishes since day one.
I highly recommend Kushiyu and can confidently assert that it offers an exceptional dining experience.

Got sat upstairs near the waterfront and the view is amazing! The service was a little slow during busy hours, however, they accommodated everything we requested. The food is pretty good, but the atmosphere does blow it away! I suggest making a reservation since this is a very popular spot

The most delicious: (but feels over priced)
1. Chilean Sea Bass $19.50
2. complimentary sweet orange dessert
3. sea urchin (uni)
4. ENGAWA CAVIAR (Halibut Fin/ S. Korea) $24
Notable:
Service was attentive and friendly and helpful! And the newly remodeled space always feels spacious and clean and new. Great vibes.
Disappointing:
1. Other than the uni and tuna crispy rice, the rest of the 10 piece nigiri special tasted average, like something from an express sushi stop or a step above the best grocery sushi offers.
2. I couldn’t believe we were served Freshwater eel that was burnt!
I regularly order eel every time I go get sushi and this was a first for me.
3. the Miso Beef was tough.
I expected better, I’ve had better version of their nigiri and tonight wasn’t their night.

I have not written a review is a long time but. Had not been to this place for over 4 years used to be a regular there . Stopped going due to bad and rude staff. Thought we were give a one more try. They did remodel and place looks great BUT same shitty attitude same ungrateful people running it. So many other places that appreciate you and make you feel welcome .

For a quick bite it’s great as the food is fresh and delicious.
It’s busy and just doesn’t have a nice ‘Date vibe’ so don’t plan on that.
There’s parking but being shared with other restaurants so it’s usually packed.
The guys behind the bar are wonderful but some of the waitresses are Not very inviting.
I would definitely go back for the food although it’s a bit pricey.

The Mrs. used to live here for 5 years, this was one of her most favored restaurant. Now 10 years later, we are visiting together LA and she was excited to take me there. Sat on the bar and enjoyed a very good sushi. The Sea Bass barbecue was amazing! Dipped in a special sauce, the fish has an amazing fresh taste. We also had an excellent entree of salmon tower. A dish name rice cake was pretty good and the lemon roll was okay. Also ordered a mushroom soup that was too salty to my taste, too dominant soy taste. For the prices, was a bit over priced (over 100$ for 4 shared dishes).

You know how tipping culture has become insane over the last decade? How it went from optional to show gratitude for a job well done to a mandatory tax? And because of that, how waiters have become entitled to a 20% minimum gratuity without feeling the need to earn it for exceptional service? You pay it because it’s expected not because it was deserved. Well…
It’s been YEARS since I’ve had an experience at a restaurant where the entire staff as a WHOLE just completely blew me away. I mean every single person here was just on top of it, and were out of their way nice and happy to their customers. I mean it was kinda unbelievable. Ever since Covid the level of service you expect from restaurants just went off a cliff, but here you are in an alternate universe. I mean the level of attention to your table is just amazing. Finished plates don’t sit on your table for more than 2 minutes before someone comes to collect it. Ask your waiter for anything, they respond with a genuine smile and return within 60 seconds. Ask another waiter (not your waiter) for something? They won’t tell you to ask to your waiter, they will help with whatever you need themselves. The food of course was incredible, but I really want to harp on the excellence in service. It’s not an easy job for management to identify and retain great people with great service, attitudes, and personality. And it’s not easy for staff to please everyone. Somehow these guys have done it. Bravo to the management and the staff on an excellent job. I hope others restaurants can take notes.
So back to my original question… yea tip culture is insane, but for the first time in a long time the tip I paid felt very well deserved and I was happy, no, eager, to pay it, unlike all the other times where after tipping I felt like I had just been taxed.

What can easily be considered one of the best sushi restaurants in the valley, Kushiyu always delivers when it comes to quality sushi.
Not much to say besides you will get high quality sushi and rolls from amazing chefs. The food is truly delicious. Service is usually spot on but the big issue is nights and weekends can easily get busy.
The shiitake mushroom is also a must if you are a fan of mushrooms. Overall, one of my favorite sushi restaurants.

We ordered 2 sashimis, crispy rice and 3 rolls. The last roll that got to the table had a BUG in it. The moment we saw that, they took the meal away and we stopped eating the rest of the food. The only food we ate was up to that point. The waiter took off the roll from our order, we asked them to compensate us more as we were hungry but did not want to eat the rest of the food because we were grossed out. The waiter said he cannot give us any discount and that he doesn’t care if we leave a bad review. Food was bad and service was horrible.
