We had another super delicious lunch at Kei Sushi this week. Service was friendly, the restaurant is super cute, and the food is fresh and delicious. read more

I would rate yesterday's visit a 2 1/2 star. Kei has been my favorite for a long time but I notice lately there are a lot of new chefs. They aren't making the rolls the way they used to. The last two to go orders I got had no sauces on them which was a major bummer. Yesterday's trip, the Tom roll was made wrong and was really terrible. I could tell the chef didn't know what she was doing. The crystal shrimp inside our roll was way over cooked leaving the entire roll with a burnt taste, it just wasn't good so we didn't eat much. I hope they get some better chefs and hang on to them because the new batch of chefs is not great. This visit was not enjoyable and neither was the food. read more

Consistently quality, fresh sushi and excellent customer service. Well worth the drive from any side of town Stopped in for a an a la carte treat, didn't realize there are items offered only on the a la carte Kei is great, always!! read more

Kei sushi has been a long time favorite of my family (we've been going here for well over 10 years). The rolls are delicious and inventive, the ambiance is wonderful, the green tea ice cream is always a perfect end to the meal. Our server today, Jael was incredibly attentive and provided wonderful service. I always recommend this place any time someone asks me where to get sushi. read more

What an average and rather disappointing experience vs other times. We came in for dinner. Service was slow but it was busy. We ordered 2 of the Hawaiian Chicken. They have a lunch price and a dinner price which is of course more expensive. We have ordered it at lunch before and enjoyed it. When we received it (as a dinner for more money) whoever scooped up the chicken to put in the pineapple went so skimpy that it was a smaller than when we ordered it for lunch! We also ordered a couple of rolls. One was falling apart when picking up. I had all you could eat and I enjoyed it but again getting our servers attention was hard. This visit was not impressive at all. read more

Literally the best fresh fish I've ever had. Mussels and raw nigiri are my favorite. My favorite rolls is probably the Ninja and Alligator. But I live trying something different too. The salmon skin is so good. Sometimes I just want the Sashimi. It's that fresh! It's a small restaurant, so make a reservation for a party of more than 5 or 6 at least a day before. Just fyi read more

I don't even know what to say. We came in wanting to be seated for a party of seven but there was some hesitation from the host and the server from the beginning. We were aware that last seating is at 8:30 and we arrived at 7:30. They couldn't accommodate us together as a big party and we suggested that we would be willing to split. We then walked outside and the waitress followed to tell us that they would be willing to seat us split but they would be charging each table a 20% gratuity? EACH table?? It's such a shame because we had been before and it was such a great experience. We left. read more

Overall restaurant was clean (our menus were slightly sticky and could have used a wipe-down) and was dimly lit. All of the employees were friendly and checked on us often. The sushi chef was quick with making rolls and did a great job interacting with us as we were sitting at the sushi bar. All of the sushi was balanced with the fish to rice ratio. The fish was fresh and of good quality. I definitely will be returning soon. read more

First visit to Kei sushi in Carson City. There's also a location in Reno. This is a small restaurant off of route 50 in Carson. It's in a shopping mall, strip mall. There are about 20 tables and the sushi bar available for seating. We were seated promptly and asked if we were having all you can eat which is available for $33.99 at dinner time. There's also a selection of signature cocktails, wine and beer. We enjoyed a Merlot and Zinfandel. We were a group of four so we ordered to share. There is an extensive menu of rolls, hand rolls, appetizers. All you can eat is unlimited appetizers and rolls plus ice cream for dessert. The sushi was served promptly and everything was fresh and delicious. I especially like the baked mussels and the grasshopper roll. We tried probably 10 different roles so they were all good. I recommend this restaurant for fresh and tasty sushi. It is also open for lunch. read more

I have yet to eat inside the restaurant, but it's always clean and the staff are always friendly. I was greeted for a to go order. This was my 2nd time picking up from here and both times the food has been amazing. I got the Fuji Mountain Roll this trip. It was so delicious. Lots of yummyness in this roll. Will eventually go to eat inside. I love this place for sushi. Go try ya some read more

I love going to Kei because the service is always great, their nigiri is my favorite from an all you can eat spot in town, and they have a great selection of rolls with lemon slices. This was my first time at the Carson location, and I appreciated how it was a more intimate vibe than the restaurant in Reno. I am so happy we can get great sushi when visiting family in Carson! read more

When The Widder Prime is argumentative with me, I know the key to escaping trouble... and that's taking her to Kei Sushi. The wife has to remind everyone in ear shot that she knows sushi. She starts off with the Panko fried mussels and I ease into it with some tasty miso soup. The Wife Boss usually snags some different rolls, but must be made to her liking (basically no Sriracha or wasabi on anything!) After multiple different rolls, I always end it with a simplified California roll. Great service here and awesome sushi! read more

The service at Kei is decent. Nothing over the top but they do check in on you and despite being constantly busy the food rolls out within a reasonable time. The rolls and nigiri are all very tasty. They have great fun combos like the salmon lover which is a texture dream if you like that, packs a little crunch into the roll on top. We liked almost everything we got which lately when I've ordered rolls at restaurants they have seemed bland. I did not have that experience with Kei. We had to wait an hour since we didn't have a reservation. They were up front about the wait. What it tells me as we say watching is the place is crazy busy which is usually a great sign. I'd suggest to make a reservation if you plan to go! read more

I've been to this restaurant before and had a great experience, but after this last visit I will never be going back. We came in as a party of 7 around 7:50. I understand they have a sign on the door that says last seating is at 8:30, so we thought we were well within their hours. At first, they said they couldn't accommodate all 7 of us, so we offered to split into two smaller groups, which they agreed to. About 5 minutes later, the hostess came back and told us that because the cooks were upset, they would need to charge a 20% gratuity AND still seat us separately. I always tip generously and have no problem doing so for good service, but forcing a gratuity when we're essentially being treated as two different parties just feels unfair. It's really upsetting because I used to enjoy this place, but after this experience, I won't be returning. read more

I went with my daughter and had the BEST experience! For a restaurant, they were very accommodating to me and my toddler, she was a bit nit picky that particular evening but they handled our service graciously! I will definitely be going back for more delicious sushi and quality service!!! read more

Food was amazing! The mussels were to die for so so flavorful. We will be back for more

Very good! Rolls are good sizes. They charge for left overs. And the ambiance is romantic, lights are dim.

This is my go to sushi spot! Chefs at bar will ask you what you like and make recommendations. Great price too!

We decided to have a late dinner, understanding that the all-you-can eat orders need to be in by 8:00p.m. The staff was very understanding and checked up on us without being overbearing. The fish was amazing and didn't have a fishy aftertaste. The food was, as always, very good. The restaurant was fairly clean. Being so close to closing time, things were being cleaned up. They didn't rush us out, but we will definitely make reservations for an earlier time. read more

I seem to be the only one in our family that doesn't like Sushi. But as long a Japanese place has a Bento box, I'm good to go out. our Sushi-loving Darling Granddaughter (DGD) was in town last week and we did that cuisine twice. The first time was at Tomo Sushi in South Carson which has always been a solid choice. Before the second time, we took her up to Virginia City and on the way back I suggested that we try something new. We looked up Kei (off US 50 close to I-580) and decided to go there. The old stereotype is that law enforcement frequent donut shops. In the case of Kei, there was a table full of hungry Nevada Highway Patrol officers when we came in. I took that as a good omen. Overall service was very good and we found the dining room to be comfortable and quiet, especially in our corner booth. We came in early enough as we noticed that the place had filled up during our meal. I'd come back to Kei simply because they have several good non-Sushi choices on their menu that aren't called Bento. I ordered the Yaki Udon noodles with chicken that was not only very tasty, but was in large enough quantity to make for a good Lunch the next day. Gayle and DGD had their usual favorites and thought everything was at least as good as Tomo. Both have "All You Can Eat" Sushi options for the hungrier members of the family. read more

Absolutely, horrible service, the rolls were not what was on the menu and ordered. A big waste of time and money. I truly do not know why this place is still in business. Looks as if family ran and only family and friends of family eat their read more

It was not anything like it was before, I ordered several rolls for pickup, it looked like it was made 5 hours prior, the avacado was dark brown and all the rolls looked the same. Never again! Waste of money!!! read more

food was good and friendly staff. I really like the sushi and their lunch special is not bad at all

This is second time I tried this place they're so rude, first time server and this time chef she's name was Lexi, I can't believe they put somebody on front like that rude she's get my order wrong never asked me what I need and when order was ready she never smiled or even ask how was it, They have two locations one of them in Reno too I told server about what happened she doesn't care and she said Carson location it's different owner I think that's why because they doing o right in Reno. I never back to this place and not recommend this place. read more

Awesome tasty sushi, with 2 Godzilla rolls, 1 Tiger and 1 Crystal roll. All were stars with just the right amount of spice and heat to make eyes water and taste buds wake-up!!

Came in with a group of 7 and we offered to split into two tables since they told us they couldn't seat us together. They agreed to split us, but shortly after changed their mind and said we'd have an added a 20% gratuity to both tables because the chefs were upset we were "being accommodated". Gratuity is something I'm always happy to leave, but it felt unfair to force it when we were seated as two separate parties. read more

Here's the scoop. Excellent quality fish here and fast service (they had like 4-5 sushi chefs on a Friday night for not that big of a place) Had AYCE for $33. Selection is good except very disappointing they didn't have Ikura or Uni as previous reviews mentioned they had. No Uni is understandable as it can be seasonal and expensive and is not part of most all AYCEs. But they should have Ikura. Rice was undercooked. Service was great. The atmosphere is a lot nicer than the ugly strip mall location would lead you to expect. Can be a wait on weekends so call ahead to get an idea of what the wait is. read more

A small place that's a favorite to many, the service is friendly, the prices are fair, and the food is excellent. I love almost all their rolls, but I highly recommend their salmon skin rolls. Both soft and crunchy, the texture is complex and the flavor is so good you close your eyes to savor the intermingling flavors. So great. Congratulations Kei! We celebrate your great food! read more

Kei Sushi - Half eaten delicious rainbow roll. - Japanese Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

Came in as a party of 7 at 7:50 and they couldn't accommodate us, so we told them we would be ok with splitting the party if that worked. They agreed, but then mentioned that the cooks were upset, so they would need to charge us 20% gratuity on both the parties (3 and 4) that had now split. I always tip, but like why charge gratuity when we are quite literally two different parties at that point. read more

The wife and I went to have Sushi on Saturday August 2 2025. We were asked is it all you can eat? We stated yes. We were sat at a table and ordered our appetizers. We then proceeded to order our rolls which we always have prepared with soy paper. We are sorry we are out of soy paper. Why were we not told that before sitting at table. Our waitress did the best she could and charged us an Ala Carte fee. We won't be going back. There are plenty of Sushi restaurants in Carson City. read more

We went here recently and had a great experience. We sat at the bar and were able to see the chefs making the sushi. Kei has a a amazing variety of rolls and they are all so different. They also has different things in their rolls that I haven't seen before such as mussels and calamari. They also have great appetizers and the vegetable tempura was my favorite! Make reservations because they do get busy! read more

We came in for lunch on Sunday, I love the food here and would score you higher if this place was cleaner. It looks like it has been a long time since you had a deep clean. Bathrooms were very dirty and trash was full at 11:15 am. read more

Service: The guy that helped us out at the bar was very kind BUT it took him 45 minutes to make us three rolls. We sat there in front of him and just waited which is totally fine but this is sushi...the longest I've ever waited and I had just sat down. A little disappointed and upset especially after the fact that the chef said, "they're suppose to make 8 rolls in 5 minutes" so essentially 96 rolls in an hour. The 45 minutes we sat there he made 6 rolls and all for the person right next to us. The server also only showed up once and messed up our drink order and never came back. We were very respectful the whole time though and always thanked them every time we got a new plate. Also would like to add, the chef carried the intercom speaker (mind you it's very dirty) and persisted to touch and make sushi rolls. Very disappointing Food: Overall it was decent. I've definitely had way better.

This is my second review, but many times we've been here and always enjoy the food. Date night tonight was excellent and I just wanted to shout out Caleb (s/p?) who was our sushi chef tonight at the bar seating. He was proficient, attentive, funny, easy to talk to and his sushi making was impeccable. We even paid extra after doing all you can eat to take some to go for later. Our waitress (I missed her name I'm so sorry but Caleb may know!) was also kind and sweet with a brilliant smile. Always a lovely time coming here. read more
