Sushi Kizuna is just flat-out great sushi without the hype. The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is dialed in, and every piece is simple and clean in the best way. No gimmicks, no overcomplication. Service is smooth and low-key, and the whole place feels relaxed and focused on the food. If you actually care about quality sushi, this spot delivers every time. The rolls were delicious and fresh. I wouldn’t order the chicken teriyaki again as it had skin on it making it chewy. They were kind enough to remove it from the bill.

I recently ordered takeout from Sushi Kizuna and tried the Dragon Roll and the Angels Roll. The pickup experience was smooth and quick — my order was ready in less than five minutes, which I really appreciated. The place itself is small and cozy. I didn’t dine in, but from what I saw, the atmosphere looked nice overall — I’d rate it about 4/5. Customer service was decent and efficient, nothing exceptional but perfectly fine for a quick pickup. As for the food, the rolls were fresh and tasty. I’d give the flavor about 4/5 — definitely enjoyable and well-prepared. The only downside for me was the price. I paid around $40 for two rolls, which feels a bit high. I think a more reasonable price point would be closer to $15 per roll rather than $19–$20. Overall, a solid sushi spot for quick takeout with good quality rolls, fast service, and a pleasant atmosphere — just slightly on the pricey side.

DELICIOUS! First time here, we got the sushi and sashimi dinner (included a very tasty miso soup and salad) and the eel nigiri and the spicy yellowtail lover roll. 10/10 on all fronts. Yuzu Orion beer was out of this world 🚀🌎 we'll be back!

Went on a Friday night around 6:45 without a reservation. Wait time was 30 minutes. Not a lot of space to wait so we walked to the gas station to kill some time. Plenty of open parking in the lot. The staff was busy so it took a bit of time to get on the wait list. They took my name and number and called when our table was ready. Bar seating was small and was already reserved. Maybe 30 seats in the entire restaurant. Recommend making a reservation. The space is cozy so I wouldn’t go with more than 4 people. Nothing fancy, nothing exciting. The staff were all nice and pleasant. Checked on us a few times but nothing overbearing. The food overall was good, better than average but the prices are a little higher than average as well. Yuzu hi-ball was refreshingly bright. The salad and miso that came with the meals were simple and clean. The rice for the chirashi and sashimi omakase was excellent. Shishito peppers and mixed tempura were good as well. Only complaint on the food would be that the fish is cut thick - good value I suppose, but would prefer thinner cuts, especially on the tuna. The prices were on the high side (maybe because of the thick cuts), but everything these days seems expensive. Overall, it was a nice dinner. Not sure I would go out of my way to make reservations for a special occasion but might drop in and grab a seat at the bar if available.

Our sister always takes out from Kizuna. So on New Years Eve we decided to dine in. It was full, which was good for the owners. Service was friendly Japanese or English. The food came out quickly and was displayed nicely.
