So the food is very good! Fast service nice service! Large portions. And I like the ambience. Not too loud nice booth. However I will add this when we were leaving we saw to dehumidifiers that they are running. They were filthy dirty and I think they could've just taken some soapy water and wiped off the units. (it made me second-guess the cleanliness of the restaurant )There were five people at the desk and they were really nice they said goodbye and all that stuff. I do think however that a couple of those employees could've taken some soapy water and cleaned up a few areas. read more

I visited Kira on a Saturday morning about 30 minutes after they opened. I was surprised that my friend and I were the first and only people in the restaurant. However, this restaurant tends to fill up and become lively as the day goes on. I was satisfied with my experience at Kira. It's not my favorite hibachi restaurant, but it's definitely good. They also give you SO MUCH food. Even when I order food to go, the portions are the exact same. For most hibachi lunch or dinners you get both noodles and fried rice. However, I tend to opt out of the noodles for extra rice. Even though it was only two of us at the table, our chef still included all the fun tricks that would be expected for a full party. Lastly, Kira probably has the best Lobster Rangoons that I've ever tasted. Mark my words, I will order the Lobster Rangoons every time I dine there. Overall, I give Kira 4 stars because they understand the assignment. Keep your customers happy with friendly service, serve fresh and hot food, and provide them with an entertaining dining experience. Definitely give Kira a try if you haven't already! read more

Great food, with very large portions. One order of hibachi could easily be two meals for an adult. They have two sides, one for hibachi grilling and the other with just regular table service and a bar. I've always had good experiences with service. The only issue I've ever had is with waiting times. They get very busy around dinner and sometimes it's over an hour wait. I'm also not sure if they still do reservations. read more

Decent food, decent service. The food was good for the price. Rolls were generally $15 and under, which is very cheap compared to restaurants I am used to. I got the snow mountain which was very yummy but not impressive. I also ordered the bento box with shrimp with fried rice. The fried rice was very yummy and I would return just for that. The salad that came with our dinner was delicious and I loved the dressing. The miso soup did not taste like miso at all and was very unauthentic. As for service, it was not the best. We arrived ay 7:45 (they close at 9:30) and asked for a table. They said they stop seating at 8, so they couldn't seat us. We told them the time and asked why, since we were 15 minutes early. They ended up seating us. It took a while for waters and to take our order, which is surprising since the restaurant was pretty quiet. I'd maybe order take out, but I likely wouldn't return. read more

The absolute worst dining experience in all of Toledo. Our party clearly told the waiter we had a severe shrimp allergy at our table. Despite the request to have the food cooked in the back (as is customary to prevent cross-contact), the waiter insisted he would just cook it "in the corner of the grill." Things escalated when scallops and lobster were mixed with the order, and only after extreme objection did they finally cook the food separately in the back. The manager argued that shrimp and other shellfish allergies are treated differently here, which is both shocking and dangerous. According to ServSafe, "Food allergens are proteins, and even a tiny amount of allergen can cause a reaction. Cooking does not remove allergens, and cross-contact must be strictly avoided." Ignoring these guidelines puts guests at serious risk. The lack of protocol, disregard for customer safety, and dismissive attitude raise serious concerns that proper ServSafe procedures are not being followed at this establishment. read more

The only hibachi near that has yum yum sauce! Service was fast and the servings were big! I like the decor inside.

They give you the wrong time over the phone for example I was told my food would be ready in 20 minutes I arrived 40+ minutes later and was notified that my order wasn't ready yet because they had a large order. It was extremely unprofessional. read more

First time there...food was amazing, portions are huge, service was good...the problem started when I cashed out my $98 tab and got the notice on my phone I was charged $114 and the Server or the Manager couldn't give me an explanation of why and as I was talking to them another charge of $98 was taken out! still no explanation except I have to wait 48 hours to "see" if it's refunded!!! read more

When this restaurant first open we loved their hibachi. I would always get the NY strip hibachi. My boyfriend later found he loved their sushi's! The atmosphere was really nice when they first opened. Throughout the years you can tell there is very little upkeep on the restaurant. Sadly during covid their food went down hill. The NY strip was very fatty, unlike any new York strip steak I've ever had. I sent it back and got another piece of steak which had the same fattiness throughout the meat. It was very unappetizing, hopefully they will go back to their original standards at some point. Also during our visit all the empty tables around us were filled with dirty dishes, for the whole duration of the meal. read more

The service was stellar but the food seemed just OK. If you're comparing it to a similar very famous restaurant, it is not nearly as garlic or buttery. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The chicken was dry. The soup was very salty and the lobster Ragoon's were amazing. The sushi was average. I would recommend a bento box which is like a sampler read more

Came with my family for the first time about a month ago, it wasn't too busy and it was pretty clean. I thought the food was good, however i feel like they add a bit too much sauce in your hibachi meal. I also wasn't expecting my sushi to only be the size of half a roll for what i paid- aside from price i thought the sushi was alright. read more

Everything was spot on--food, service, and atmosphere. I'm honestly baffled that they only have 3.5 stars. People are really missing out! The interior is clean and stylish, the staff was respectful and friendly, and the food was fresh and delicious--absolutely no complaints. I'll definitely be coming back! Our waiter was on top of it.. my refills came before I was even done with my drink and our food came quickly! read more

The chicken and shrimp hibachi dinner comes with rice and noodles. It's bursting with flavor! My mouth is watering as I type this review. This is a healthy portion for the price you pay. Well worth it! Same with the chicken spicy basil Thai dish. It has just enough basil where it's not overbearing. And the spice is more between mild and medium. read more

Second time here and enjoyed both visits. We ordered sashimi and the server gave us a heads up that we may have ordered too much as there are 2 or 3 slices per order. I scaled back my order and was glad I did! It appears that each person automatically gets a bowl of soup (not miso, maybe a beef broth) and a small salad. The dressing was creamy and not the usual ginger dressing. Hubby ordered the Santa roll (a special that day). It had seaweed salad in it and it was delicious! I had the sashimi and ordered the king crab salad. I had bariatric surgery earlier this year and had way too much food. I would have been fine with just the king crab salad. But I had leftovers so that was great too! read more

Great food and considerably cheaper than the other hibachi options in town. They do seem to have a problem with keeping their wait staff, and from time to time that is their only detriment. But overall great food! read more

Love the ambience of the restaurant! It's really nice! There's plenty of seating and lots of lights! My friend & I went during the happy hour which is M-R from 4-6pm. Soup & salad come with the table as well. I had the avocado, cucumber, asparagus, & sweet potato maki. The first 3 were ok but the last one was my favorite! There was also plenty of other vegetarian options! I'll definitely come here again! read more

The food was excellent. And we all brought leftovers home. This was a better price and the food was more enjoyable than a more expensive restaurant in the area. The dishes tasted better, more flavorable. We all had the chicken but when I asked for a spicier sauce, I was given some Siracha and some spicy mayo. The Siracha mixed with the yum yum yum sauce was perfect but the spicy mayo was my favorite. Can't wait to go again. And to think, we gave it a try because QQ Kitchen was packed. read more

So went to this location for sushi. First I have been to the east coast to the west coast and thru out the middle of the US for sushi. I ordered edamame where they never brought it out. Their green tea is lipton. And to finalize the order at most places I order omakase so they had a triple speciality roll combo for $41. I asked for the chef choice they brought two of the cheapest rolls and ones slightly more in cost out. All were a quality of just slightly above "insert chain" supermarket level. I can't say much about the hibachi since we were over there but if you want sushi; go to Kroger get three roles and get some good green tea instead of going here...only reason for the second star the food was edible. read more

I can gladly say that this is the new hibachi spot to be! Kira is certainly one of the more cool atmospheric environments to dine in. Their blue neon tables, bright glass green backdrops, metallic lining, and slick tile floors all add up to a very modernistic aesthetic. I felt like I was eating in a bit if a Blade Runner style location. The service is quick to attend to you, as well as kind. Aside from the very techno chill vibe, the food is very tasty and definitely fills you up. I went to eat hibachi, and only nibbled on a little but of sushi. From what I sampled, the sushi was not the best, but the hibachi I was great! The hibachi meals are roughly $25 each, and have a variety from chicken and shrimp, filet mignon, NY steak with chicken or shrimp, Lobster, etc. They will up charge your dish if you are sharing with one other. But there is also a meal for 2 for $52. You make your choices, then await for chef to come and entertain you very well. This is very much dinner and a show, and be ready to participate. The chef may call upon you to catch an egg in your shirt pocket, maybe catch a vegetable in your mouth, or see how far he can shoot water or sake into your mouth. I advice really getting in the mood with your chef, because the more excited and willing you are, the more entertaining they will be. If you have a choice or chance, I highly recommend getting the Indonesian chef with red curly hair. He is extremely fun, sings, dances, and yells. If you do not like to participate, or do not like the show aspect, they have regular dining on the other side, closer to the sushi and bar. You may also feel free to order sushi and alcohol even if you are seated at the hibachi table. The hibachi meals one with your choice meat, as well as a salad, miso soup, plenty fried rice, low mein noodles, and grilled vegetables. There is a lot, and it is paced out. As for the meat choice, it isn't an abundance of meat but I would recommend the filet mignon. The chicken is very bland. Go filet mignon, or steak with shrimp. The environment is very noisy on the hibachi side, seeing how there are more people, parties screaming, blades clashing, and fires roaring. But I had a very enjoyable and memorable time. As a tip, if you have a chance have a drink at the bar, because it looks awesome! Also, careful walking, because the floors are cleaned often and are slippery. Lastly, I believe sushi is half off after 20:30. read more

**** Updated star rating **** The owner reached out to set things right, and I appreciated it. Finding out that it was not the owner's intention, I'm deciding to move the star rating from 1 to 3 (hoping it will balance my original 2 star rating out, but honestly I'm not very good at math so......) **** Original 2nd posting **** So last night I get this message from someone named Breann Z, whom it's clear that the account was made up just to send me a message. No friends, no reviews, no nothin': "I think your comment about Kira was highly inappropriate, and not to mention, false in one aspect. I have seen the playlist personally and there has never been Korean music played, only the top pop hits you find on the local radio. I also find your comment regarding the Chinese employees extremely racist. This is America and anyone from any ethnicity can own a business, let alone WORK at a business. Next time you make a review, maybe think a little more about what you say and get the facts straight. Thank you." -- Breann Z. So I came back to read my old review to see if I in fact sounded racist. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what aspect of stating the fact that there was korean music playing in a japanese restaurant with chinese server, was racist..?? It was a simple fact. She/he claims that they've seen the playlist. Uh huh.... I guess it makes me a racist to recognize music from my own country and state that in a yelp review? This made me think about another review I read, warning people about paid reviews and fake accounts... at first I didn't think about that, but if someone went a great length to create an account to JUST send that message, I now know anything is possible.. I don't have any hard fact to say this Breanne person is affiliated with the restaurant or not, but last time I checked, we live in a free country. Just like any person from any ethnic background can own or WORK at a business, we have something called freedom of speech. I wanted to post the seemingly shady private message up here for others to see. I'm forced to give a star rating when I update a review so I'm giving it 1 star even though I never went back to the shop. If the owners are not associated with this Breann person, feel free to let me know so I can set this straight. read more

Excellent Fresh sushi, very reasonable prices, and good service! What more could you ask for? Definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

This review is only based on if you plan on getting ONLY sushi rolls. We got 4 rolls- the Kira, buckeye, hot lover, and tiger. All the rolls had WAYYY too much sauce on them. The buckeye and tiger rolls and just a ton of eel sauce- we even got the spicy mayo on the side I cant imagine what it would have been like with it on. The hot lover and kira roll had eel sauce and a yellow sauce that just didnt make it taste very good and were also covered. Honestly I think the rolls would have been fine if they weren't covered so heavily in sauces. It could be that I wasn't a fan of their eel sauce I am not really sure but normally my Fiancé and I ate sushi at Domo or Kotobuki and both werent open before 3 when we were eating. Save yourself the trip if you want sushi, the lobster rangoon, hot tea, beer and server were otherwise good. read more

I love them period. Food is the best. Can eat it everyday. Friendly and fun as well, your family will love it

Two stars is honestly a bit on the generous side! We had birthday reservations for a decent sized family and decided to wait at the bar with a cocktail. Well waiting is EXACTLY what we did. Finally someone walks over to serve us, and apparently he's not the bartender but "can make drinks". My henricks gin and tonic was good, but fool proof. The cosmos that were ordered didn't fair so well. We sat at hibachi and things continued to get worse. The timing of dinner service was awful. The non hibachi meals hit the table before the hibachi chef even came out. Strike two.... now for the hibachi itself. When we thought dinner could only get better we were soooo wrong. The soup had zero flavor and the salad was drenched in dressing. I had rare tuna supposedly sushi grade, nope! Fishy poorly seasoned and was sick as hell later that night. It was the first protein to hit the grill??? Why??? The tuna takes a minute tops. So again my food is there getting cold while I wait for the rest of our party to get there assorted filet/chicken/shrimp etc. The proportions were seriously off. I understand the portion sizing for proteins, but the veggies were scarce, like barely there scarce. I think I had a few onions one measly sad little broccoli floret and a mushroom or two. No worries though they PILE on rice AND greasy soggy lo mein noodles. Think a mountain of carbs and then sprinkle on a bit more. I will say our waiter was attentive and our hibachi chef entertaining. The place has a great vibe, cool seating, and great lighting and modern design. I love hibachi but I will not be back. Sad since it's right in the neighborhood. Kira May have ruined rare tuna for me for life. read more

We dined at Kira for the first time and truly enjoyed the hibachi experience. Hubby had steak and I opted for chicken and salmon. It was perfectly cooked and the portions were huge! We brought home leftovers and I had lunch for two days. The Kira roll was on point! We will definitely be back!! read more

My favorite place in toledo for sushi. Rangoons are sooo good. We always order a sushi roll that comes in aluminum foil in a boat of 151. They light it on fire and it cooks the fish some. I can't remember the name, but it's so good! Bartender is fun. Good times. Haven't been for hibachi. read more

Seating is a little limited if you aren't doing hibachi but the food is excellent! I love the Bento Box!

Delicious! Everything is seasoned well. The atmosphere is always fun. All of the proteins are so juicy. Definitely my favorite hibachi place. read more

Great food and large portions! Worth the drive to Ohio from Michigan. Will definitely go again!

We went on New Years Night and the place was relatively empty. I have to agree with some of the previous reviews that the host (who I later found out was the owner) was quite rude and short in his replies. The waitress and hibachi chief were friendly and we had a blast with all the activities. The fried rice was great, but the noodles were quite over cooked. The medium rare steaks we ordered were more like medium well. The restaurant seemed under staffed as the dirty dishes from the table across from us didn't get cleaned up until we were done with our meal (the dishes were there well before we were sat). Overall, the bill came out to be over $100 for the four of us. It was worth it for the experience, but definitely not the quality of the food. read more

Honestly the hibachi chefs are awesome and make the visit worth it but if you're looking for good tasting food then this isn't really the place. I knew coming here that the food would probably be bland (like most hibachi restaurants) the main purpose of coming here is for the show. If you're not coming for the show I suggest other Asian restaurants in the area that are cheaper and taste significantly better. The 3 star rating is for the great customer service and the talented hibachi chefs. If I were rating this place strictly by the taste of the food I would only give it 1 star read more

I'm not even a fan of Asian cuisine due to a food allergy, but my husband really had a taste for sushi. Did some research and Kira was the winner for our anniversary dinner! We both absolutely enjoyed ourselves and were already recommending it to people while we were waiting for our dinners. The waiter was awesome to carefully listen to my dietary needs and give recommendations. My dinner was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered sushi. It was presented in a gorgeous display! (I was almost sad he ate it.) He was very happy with the taste. We will definitely be returning and bringing our family/friends! :) read more
