Gaijin roll
Frank L.

An ayce and a la carte casual sushi spot. They have more interesting rolls than most other spots. Quality is solid. Had tried gaijin roll and nut cracker roll before and loved those. This time tried the boujee roll and the mukbang roll and was less impressed. I ordered this thru delivery and when the stuff that was tempura came it was a bit soggy. For the mukbang roll, I feel like the seaweed gives the poke a weird taste. It was ok but didn't love it. Overall, love that they have crazy combinations for rolls and they got a huge variety. Quality is consistent with what a casual sushi spot puts out. Prices are comparable but I think the ayce price probably really good if you want to try many different rolls

Crunch Roll
Reina C.

I'd give this a 3.5 stars, but since the pricing is reasonable and they have happy hour specials I'm rounding up to a 4. I come here at least once a month sometimes more often for their take out happy hour. It's a good deal with two rolls for $11.99. They aren't speciality rolls, but it's still better than your grocery store sushi. I've also gotten their chicken teriyaki on happy hour. It's mid, but when I want to eat healthy since it isn't greasy it does the job. After restaurant prices are getting expensive, this is my go to when I want something healthy but on a budget.

I think this place is absolutely incredible. The service was top tier. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The food was all delicious. They had a buy 3 get 1 free on the rolls. We got the Black Mamba, Skittles, Surf & Turf, and Krunchy Mango rolls. Definitely delicious and fulfilling. We also ordered the Unagi Nigiri and the Spicy Scallop Nigiri. The scallops just melts in your mouth and had a nice kick to it. I fully recommend this place and give it a 10/10!!

My friends and I came in for dinner around 6:30pm on a Thursday and got a table right away. There were so many options, so it took a while for us to order. We didn't feel like AYCE price is worth it, as the AYCE price for 1 person essentially could feed all 3 of us if we order rolls. We ordered: lion king, chainsmoker, crunchy mango, and butterface. Crunchy mango was my favorite; it had a little spice to it. Lion king was okay. The cheese sauce felt overwhelming. The other 2 were pretty creamy, and they were not bad at all. There are a lot of seatings, and it's very spacious inside. I honestly don't think AYCE menu is worth it right now, and I honestly prefer ordering different rolls like this. I will definitely be back to try more.

Super Crunch roll and Lion King
Roro S.

This may not be my absolute favorite sushi spot, but it is definitely my daughter's favorite go-to place for sushi. It's also conveniently close to home, which makes it an easy choice for us. We probably come here at least once every two weeks. Our usual order is simple: we each get a roll and share them, which is usually enough to fill us both up. My daughter's favorite is the Lion King Roll, while I keep it pretty basic with the Super Crunch Roll. The service is always quick and attentive, the food is consistently good quality, and the prices are very reasonable. Our bill typically comes out to around $20-$25, including tip. Recently, I noticed they've added an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi option. We haven't tried it yet because my daughter and I aren't exactly AYCE champions, but from what I remember, the selection looked solid and the pricing seemed like a great value. Overall, it's a located in a reliable neighborhood sushi spot with friendly service, tasty rolls, and affordable prices.

Outdated interior, unassuming exterior, and located in a lesser trafficked strip mall - the hallmarks of affordable and yummy sushi, especially the AYCE option. I came on a Friday around 6PM, and there were plenty of seats. You get 3 rounds, and IIRC it's limited to 3 rolls per person per round, which is perfect since you will get charged for being unable to finish. My wife and I came in super hungry, and we felt pretty full after 2 full rounds with some other dishes. The best roll we had was definitely the Kakuna Roll (seared salmon), which is their signature. The raw fish on the other rolls tasted pretty fresh, and they also offer sashimi for a premium price (also AYCE!!). I like how the rice isn't overdone, and neither was the mayo/sauce. Every roll looked unique and had good presentation, and even tasted slightly different. They all looked pretty close to singular sushi orders at other restaurants, and taste similar if not better (ex rainbow roll, caterpillar, etc). Service can be take ~10min during peak times, but otherwise don't be afraid to just call a server over for ordering since it can get busy. They were all super friendly and had smiles when talked to! Ever since another AYCE sushi spot closed for certain reasons, this place has been my go to, and I don't think I'll look around for more unless they close too. Solid service, solid food, and solid prices, it's one of the few bastions not yet "gentrified" by the AI tech wave.

The sushi was delicious. The fish tasted fresh and the sauces were tasty. The chicken Yaki udon was a generous portion too! Highly recommend all three dishes

Baked sushi roll
Kaela N.

Went to all you can eat sushi at Kakuna sushi for lunch. We did the regular AYCE option and it was more than enough. The appetizers and baked rolls are filling. We enjoyed all the sushi rolls we ordered but I particularly liked the gilroy garlic roll and the kakuna roll. The mango crunch roll was pleasant also with fresh cut mango. If you do the ACYE, you have 90 minutes and any pieces left or uneaten is $1.50 per piece. There is plenty of seating inside. There is a strange smell when you first walk in. Service was slow and could be better. Parking is a small parking lot. Otherwise, the food is good and I will come back when I have a sushi craving.

AYCE is very worth it, they give really big portions of fish and the rolls are tasty. We also got 49ers, sumo and hokkaido rolls. I would say this was the best raw salmon i've had from AYCE sushi places in the area!

Kb 8/24
Jess B.

I really wanted to like Kakuna Sushi, but my experience was pretty disappointing. I ordered the Surf n Turf Roll and the KB 8/24 Roll for pickup. The meat on the Surf n Turf Roll was extremely chewy and bland it didn't add anything to the roll and honestly felt out of place. The KB 8/24 Roll was worse. The fish tasted very fishy and not fresh at all. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. I did order for pickup, so the food sat in the container for about 10ish minutes for the drive back to my house, but I've had takeout sushi before and haven't had issues like this. For what I paid, I expected much better.

The kind of stairs I don't complain about haha! I stopped by solo so I could really only order for myself and I really wanted the Moriwase, as it was a sushi staircase. I didn't know each piece came with wasabi, otherwise, I would have asked for it without. Nevertheless, each piece was so fresh! They also don't skim on the fish, each piece had a thick piece of fish. Definitely a spot to bring friends and try a bunch of different rolls!

Non raw sushi rolls menu
Jonathan B.

Pretty good sushi for an affordable price (more affordable than other sushi spots with good quality). The happy hour is pretty good too. Service is good too. UPDATE: Forgot to mention that the rolls I always be getting are the Grimmer, Skittles, Kakuna, and the Phoenix rolls. Literally I be eating here at least once a week because it's just that good.

Grace H.

Love Kakuna! It's not fancy or high quality by any means, but you get what you pay for. Most rolls are $12.99 - $17.99 at most and they're huge. They have a huge array of options, whether it's regular classic rolls to deep fried and baked roll options which is great for people who can't eat all raw. Love their kamikaze and dragon roll. They're big rolls with plenty of fish. They have plenty of plate and bento options as well. I haven't done their AYCE option, so hard to judge that. Overall, their staff is hard working and nice. Orders come out pretty quickly as well. Great casual sushi/Japanese spot. Will be back!

What are the prices for the AYCE? Is it’s good value or should I stick with alacarte dishes or rolls?

Do they offer a baked seafood dynamite? It’s not the dynamite roll but more a Baked dynamite seafood rice appetizer baked in a casserole, ramekin or foil tin that’s on the menu, secret menu or by special request?

How much for toro and uni?

I believe they're market price, so better to ask them on the day you plan to go. There was no price tag on the menu for them.

What are the days and hours?

The regular broth keeps it creamy. Both are savory. Noodles are soft and well-cooked, love how the meat is balanced with the fatty parts, and toppings are well-proportioned to the noodles.

In terms of price, this place is very affordable, with each bowl costing under $20, which is not expensive. The only downside is that the space inside is quite small, so you may have to wait if it gets crowded. However, overall the restaurant is very clean, the broth is solid, and the thick noodles have a great chewy texture. Next time, I'll probably try the thin noodles. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys ramen. Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5. 基本上口味還不錯,我每次吃拉麵都只挑味增拉麵,這樣每一家的好壞會直接呈現。價格方面,這家非常的親民,一碗在$20以內,不算貴。唯一缺點是店內空間很小,要是遇到人多就要等!不過整體來說,店內衛生非常好,湯頭也不錯,粗麵條也很有嚼勁,我下次應該會嘗試細麵條看看。推薦給喜歡吃拉麵的各位。整體評價4.5/5。

It's also the go-to spot for sports fans if there is a game happening at Levi's Stadium. The parking lot has a time limit of 1 hour now because people would park there and walk to the stadium. The tonkotsu ramen is a generous portion and tastes divine. The broth is rich, but not too salty. I'm craving it again just writing this review! I like the lemon infused water they offer here. They recently switched the uncomfortable black stools out with new chairs, which is nice. The staff is friendly and they make sure to point out the 15% service charge (also shown on their menu) if you are dining in. This is not a tip, but tipping is optional at the end of your meal. This doesn't seem to deter customers at all because the wait time can be long around dinnertime. I highly recommend making a reservation before your visit!

Portion was small for the price. My son ordered the dipping noodle and he said it was good. I wish they have an option to have non-spicy dipping noodle. Ambiance was good.

Lots of appetizers to choose from so we tried the lumpia. Would not get again. Bland as well and dipping sauce was just your chinese restaurant packets. Water cups were red solo cups - that was fun! Love that it's a family business all around and would definitely come back to try the hawaiian side of the menu!
