Reviews for Kawaii Sushi in San Diego, CA
Unfortunately my veggie fried rice had a 3 inch black hair in it. I’m a server for life, and I know how tough it is now but... hair in your food is NEVER OK. Read more
Pretty good lil sushi spot, and it’s affordable vegetarian options!
It's back to indoor dining, but decided to do lunch take out. The inside is very colorful with cute characters on the wall. They... also sell hand crafted face masks and have a huge inventory of Lee Kum Kee soy sauce bottle for sale. This place is also ownedby a Vietnamese family. (This is the third Japanese restaurant in Grantville that I've been to that's Vietnamese owned). Theon-line menu does not show lunch specials. When we arrived, I saw the banner and poster. Make sure you ask for lunch specials ifordering take out on the [phone. There's a $9.95 two item special and a $7.99 two hour special. Baked cali roll (6pc) $5 -Baked rolls take about 20 minutes but since it was slow, it was ready when we got there in 15 minutes. Note that these are tinypieces of 6. Shrimp tempura roll $8.95 - This was nothing special. I was expecting crunchy roll and didn't specify so it'sbasically just coated panko. Mixed tempura, 2 shrimp, veggie $6.95 - Can't go wrong with tempura but the breading seems a bitchewy like it was left out not freshly made. Kawaii lunch special $9.95 - Came with 4 pieces of garlic chicken wings, one cuprice, salad, miso soup, and edamame. This is worth the money and the garlic chicken wings was very tasty. Chicken Katsu curryrice $8.95 - Having more spice would make this better otherwise the flavors are mediocre. Overall, the food here is neithergreat or bad. I would come back for the lunch specials only because it's a great price for all the sides. Read more
This place is cute and the owners are so great! During Covid, a lil’ hand sanitizer when you pay, a free mask if you need... one...and yummy sushi! I asked for extra soy sauce...they gave me a whole BOTTLE!! I’ll definitely be back so I can use up mysoy sauce on their tasty rolls. Read more
Sushi is acceptable and prices similar to other places. The service is really bad/slow. They seem to be short on staff on a... saturday night, the place is not even busy, 1 customer waiting for takeout and three tables with a total of 7 ppl. We've beenwaiting for a sashimi dish for the last half hour. The place is also silent, no music....nothing. Wishing this place a goodluck, never again. Read more
Enjoyed a tasty and affordable lunch at Kawaii Sushi. The miso soup was perfect taste and temperature, the salmon sushi was... fresh, and the calamari was thick and tender. Restaurant is family owned, and is definitely worth visiting for lunch. Read more
So good. 8 piece avocado roll, and veg caterpillar roll are my recommendations. Yummies. The decor is indeed cute. Make sure you... have a lot of time because it was a wait to get our food, both times I've been there, I probably wouldn't go alone for thatreason. Read more
Best garlic edamane. The baked rolls and miso soup are really good. Nigiri very good and prices are amazing. Cannot wait to... return. Not fancy interior but service and food wondeful. This is one of my favourites and I am picky with sushi. Read more
