I take no pleasure in delivering negative reviews especially to a local restaurant. I've been driving past this place for nearly a decade but we usually use Triad/Chi Oyster hours, S. Coast Sushi, and now Umai, but because we had a messy garden day we opted for a delivery service. Notably, a venue that sells both Chinese and Japanese is a red flag for us, we gave them the benefit of the doubt, we should have listened to our instincts.I will keep this fact based. Order placed at 7:20, delivery expected at 8:20. One ring phone call at 8:15, assuming it was the driver, I text back "Hi", 8:33 text received: "I'm coming". He then calls back at 9:11 apologizing saying he the only driver, has 5 orders to deliver and that he is way and we are the next stop. Food finally arrives at 9:39 (another 28 min later). Sushi was warm (since it was sitting in his car for over an hour and it was 80 plus today), the maki rolls were incompletely rolled and half of them were falling apart, impossible to eat with chop sticks, the rice was "mushy" (over cooked and improperly cooled), Sashimi pieces were quite generous sizes but so warm it was difficult to chew due to size and sinew. The tuna was a cheap, low quality Ahi and not Blue fin. It was the faded pink (not ruby red) type with horrible texture. Lastly, the skewers (chicken and beef) were cooked to a pulp, hard, like leftover teeth jamming carnitas that had to be literally ripped from the skewer. Of the $88 order, sadly, we were too freaked out and irritated to enjoy it or continue eating, so about 2 (of 3) rolls and 5 sashimi pieces ended up in the trash. We rarely throw anything away. We wanted this to be our next "go to " place. So sad.If we ever use Chinese Kitchen Sushi again, we will likely just try the Chinese menu. My advice, call the order in, do NOT use online ordering and find out if they have more than 1 driver working...especially when you live 7 MINUTES AWAY. :(

great food and really great service

Monkey brain appetizer was different and delicious, Pink Lady Roll was fenominal and so flavorful, Philly, Alaskan, Spicy tuna were a great value for the lunch special. Everything was super fresh. Hot tea is a great value for 2 person dinner

First time dining in but usually we get take out. Service was great and food was delicious as always! They also have great tasting cocktails I would recommend the Snow White!

We ordered Orange Chicken, Mangolian Beef, a California Roll, Calamari, Combination Fried Rice and a Coconut smoothie. Everything was delicious and fresh. It was our first time ordering from here and we will definitely be back!

Sushi I absolutely love here! They have the robots inside to bring your food to your table,neat. Food overall is good and fresh.

My faves are the C.K. roll, Godzilla roll, and the Philly rolls. Excellent portions for the price.

The is a welcoming and quiet environment, which is a breath of fresh air from the intense noise of other places. It feels intimate with exceptional hospitality. Every morsel was fresh and filing. I had to take it to go but I will return. Stop eating at chains when this kitchen is open to you!

Great food and drinks the prices
