    Before coming to SushiKai I didn’t like raw sushi, this place completely changed my mind. The fish is so fresh it’s life changing honestly. It’s 100% worth the price for an experience like no other. The chefs are really friendly also and will chat while prepping the food. Definitely booking again.

    My girlfriend and I have never had a more passionately curated, delectably tasting, experience of a dinner. We went for our anniversary and truly had a night to remember, everything from the intricate and beautiful preparation of each course to the simple yet perfect taste of even just the rice, everything was perfect. The fish, the drinks, the fresh wasabi, the staff. Words can’t describe how wonderful of a dinner this was, the staff just radiate with passion and are a joy to talk to. Counting the days until we make it back, an absolute must try!!!

    Quiet Sunday evening and perfect! Excellent service; amazing fresh sushi. Rolled beautifully with lots of fish and thin rice. Started with two of their house special miso soups- excellent. Simple seaweed salad was anything but simple; delicious. Had one other appetizer and specialty rolls. There were lots of choices on the main menu as well. Something for everyone. I have eaten sushi in every major city- rarely do I post reviews; but Nare Sushi, I definitely recommend.
