The sushi chef, the owner, and her assistant chef, are girls! The owner taught herself how to make the best sushi I have ever eaten IN-MY-LIFE! Since Cafe Kitanishi is adjacent, several blocks away, from the Pacific Ocean, I told my daughter, "If this sushi is not fresh, that will be an embarrassment." We ate here on a Thursday night,...

A very memorable meal but expect a wait. I loved the Kobe burger; my husband was pleased with his bento box, served by very friendly staff. We shared an incredible homemade slice of coconut cake although full. Lots of locals present.

I was pleased to find that this restaurant is GF friendly. I ordered GF tempura and they even prepared my dish in oil that had not been cross-contaminated with wheat. It was good, although bordered on plain. I ordered a GF coconut cheesecake for dessert which was delicious. My husband ordered some rolls and was offered samples of saki before... More

We recently visited Kitanishi with my grandparents to celebrate my husband's birthday and our 4 year anniversary. We are from London so it was a nice experience to eat sushi near the ocean! We loved our server and the food was amazing! We all had the combination platters with edomone to start- we highly recommend it!

The owner apparently was famous first for her desserts. Awesome cheesecakes, coconut cake, and whatever else she decides to whip up. The menu has a nice variety of Japanese food and sushi all prepared fresh. Really excellent food.

Those I would give 5 stars. 3) My reviews are heavily weighted by food quality. Service comes next. Then atmosphere. You can't pass off mediocre food just because you have... More

I love Japanese food. One of my favorites. The food is just OK. It's expensive for what you get. It will do in a pinch, if you just have to have Japanese food.

Great atmosphere and exceptional food. When it's crowded it's slow but well worth it. Their sauses and dressings are one-of-a-kind.
