I stopped in this afternoon for a late lunch and really enjoyed Kiraku Sushi. The restaurant is casual and very reasonably priced, and the salmon nigiri tasted fresh and buttery. The roll pictured is the Indiana roll with salmon skin inside and eel/avocado on top - very tasty. There is a homey, unassuming, neighborhood feel to the restaurant and it's not a bad place if you just want to go for lunch yourself! Friendly, attentive staff, too. read more

Kiraku Sushi - 81. Indiana Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Kiraku Sushi offers the best possible dining experience in the neighborhood. I deeply appreciate both the simplicity and the quiet sophistication of this place. After visiting regularly, I've come to know the wonderful people who run it--with professionalism, warmth, and consistency. A quick disclaimer: I'm recommending Kiraku based on a personal preference for sushi that honors traditional preparation--clean, balanced, and free from excessive sauces or unnecessary embellishments. I've been to highly rated sushi spots where every piece is smothered in sugary, multi-ingredient sauces, masking the flavor of the fish and turning the experience into something overly rich and far from authentic. Kiraku stands apart. Their sushi is beautifully restrained--great-quality fish, well-prepared rice, and flavors that are distinct and harmonious. For those who enjoy bolder options, there are a few heavier sauce-based rolls on the menu. But for me, the real strength of Kiraku lies in its refined, minimalist approach. If you appreciate true sushi craftsmanship, this place is a hidden neighborhood gem with extremely good pricing for the quality you're getting. read more

Ordered from this establishment on Uber eats and was impressed by the quick delivery. The food however, was not very good. It tasted old. The chicken and shrimp were a little hard and it was like warm. Maybe it was the time of day, but probably won't be ordering from here again read more

Let's begin by the sushi bar, well the makeshift sushi bar. The prep person did NOT practice safety. Cross contamination everywhere. Same gloves to touch and prepare different customers food, yuk. Also, I ordered Ramen soup and it was NOT what we I expected. It was prepared with what appeared to be prepackaged ramen noodles from the packet. It had veggies that one will use for stir free. The incorrect beef and no egg. The worst experience every. Please skip this place. To add, it was 93 degrees outside and it felt like 80 degrees inside. The air conditioning was not cool at all. Over priced soup! read more

Went in for lunch and ordered a 3 roll sushi lunch special. There was an ordering issue with their website and was quick to address it and take care of my order in 10 minutes. They were even kind enough to switch out my yellowtail roll to a tuna avocado roll. Place is pickup only and covid/sanitation compliance looks fantastic. I ordered a spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and tuna avocado roll which came with a salad. The salad dressing was a ginger soy sesame type of dressing that many sushi places utilize. It has a refreshing and clean taste. The salad consists only of lettuce and strips of carrots and purple stuff (forget the name of it). The sushi was large and had great portions of protein. There was significantly more rice than what I would normally prefer in my sushi rolls but the amount of protein compensates and the flavor profile of the sushi still stands. The rice was much more sticky than usual and did not have the consistency I am used to having at many other sushi restaurants but I would not say it detracted from the experience. If anything, it could make it easier for people who have difficulty dipping their sushi in soy sauce and having it fall apart. The spicy salmon and spicy tuna both had great flavor. It would be great if they added a spicy crunch tuna and salmon to their lineup. The tuna in the tuna avocado was much more darker than I usually see and it did not look as visually appealing. The flavor of the tuna avocado was slightly more muted than usual. I would assume that quality control of protein could be improved in the future. Overall my meal satisfied my sushi craving for the day and I would be interested in trying more food in the future. read more

If you are in the area and want good sushi this is a great sit down spot. My gf loves their spicy tuna. It is a great date night spot as you are seated right away, good service, and their are nice options. read more

I don't know what kind of person packs vegetable hibachi with vegetable tempura so the tempura gets all soggy but ew. Besides packing the flavors we're just horrible. Not what I'd expect at all since I've ordered sushi a few times here. Told the girl who took my order "no meat" but look at the fried rice with a huge piece of chicken. Order here if you like bad food and wasting your money to get gross food. read more

They don't answer the phone to place an order. This is horrible. We called more than 15 times in a row. What type of business does this?

OMG I can't believe this place is a 5 minute drive from me and I never went here after living in this area for over 20years. I was in the mood for buying lunch out, but specifically sushi. I'm like ugh wish I could go to Manhattan right now and then I thought wait there's a sushi place not too far. I have a deep distrust for Bronx things lol, but I am like let me give it a shot. Wow wide variety of items and reasonable prices. I enjoyed everything I got and needless to say I will be going here more. I got shumai, spider roll, and philadelphia roll. Support local businesses there are some good places in the Bronx !! read more

This is a small, but cozy Japanese restaurant with about 5 small tables. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed our meal. However, please note that the food is not authentic Japanese food, and is more of the california roll and teriyaki variety. With that in mind, it was very filling and tasty. They also have very reasonable prices. If you come during lunch time, they have a teriyaki bento box that comes with a california roll and rice and salad. Or, you can go for the hibachi special with your choice of protein with rice. Both come with a small soup as well and are only around $10-$11. We ending up having one of each. This is definitely a great deal for the amount and quality of food that you get. read more

Fresh sushi, and reliable food every time! Great lunch specials! Very friendly and accommodating staff.

The order came a bit too quickly. Upon opening the lid of the box I got a very strong old fish smell. The taste was old. I have thrown up twice today because of it. I highly do not recommend. read more

My friend was craving sushi so we found a place in the area and this one was the closest. It wasn't busy for lunch but I bet they had a lot of take-out orders. These types of places are deceiving because they may not look busy but people generally are accustomed to order takeout from here. We went with the shrimp tempura and veggie tempura to start. The shrimp tempura had 3 shrimp on it. Not sure if that was a full order but they mixed them in with the veggies. For sushi I always like to keep it simple. I went with the spicy tuna and spicy salmon. Both solid. Overall, the meal was what I expected. 3 stars all the way. read more

Rice on the sushi roll is anemic, however it is very tasty. No complaints thus far! It is located in a neighborhood Business Improvement District so there after lunch/dinner dessert options nearby (PeachWave or Carvel). If you order edamame, its very lightly salted, so ask for an imcrease in the salt content it you want it saltier. Otherwise, its a nice spot. read more

Great food and wonderful service. My 4 year old goddaughter who is a very picky eater loved her dish as well. We will definitely be back.

Kiraku Sushi is actually really awesome. Excellent service, nice atmosphere. I need to admit, Rock and Roll was really outstanding. I think that I might have a new favorite dish now. The servers are incredibly helpful and polite. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've eaten before and every time I have came here the waitress and people were nice to me. Very nice and I never had a problem. Also, I am a resident of the Bronx and besides Hawaiian Sea, there's not many great sushi spots in this borough, unfortunately. So I'm being generous and giving it a 3 when I should give it a 2. Food: I don't remember what I had but the times I have come here I hate my ass off with tons of different sushi and the stir fried rice. In short, it's nothing to write home about but if you live in the area and don't feel like going to far away to get really good sushi, then you won't go wrong here. It's not fantastic, its not great but I have experienced better...A lot better. Service: My experience with the people here like I mentioned, was always good. They were always nice and attentive and the service was always great. I have no complaints here. Decor: I would say this is my favorite part of this restaurant. It's dimly lit, pretty big, and has a nice intimate atmosphere. There used to be a nice little pagoda awning out in front but that's been taken down so it loses some points with me on that. The place still is very nice, has a "woods" like feel to it in a way and seems very clean. If you can imagine it, it looks like a discotque in the middle of a forest. The ceiling lights are multicolored and the rest of the decor has log paneling and all that stuff. Can't explain it. Overall, its not the best place to get sushi but not the worst and nothing you'll miss out on. One of my shorter reviews because I'm tired, very, very tired but felt the need to do a review. read more

I thought it was time to try the last sushi restaurant within reasonable driving distance. I wanted to see which was the best. Being adventurous is cool, too, but I have no desire to be as dorky as Rachael Ray (financially obese? Yes!). Of the three dine-in sushi restaurants (the other two are Yamada http://www.yelp.com/biz/yamada-bronx and Sushi Q http://www.yelp.com/biz/sushi-q-bronx) in the Bronx that I am aware of, Kiraku has the cutest decor. However, with a no alcohol (BYOB policy), it's difficult to wait for my food. Ever endure Chinese Water Torture? Ever watch "40 Days & 40 Nights?" Ok, the wait is not that bad, but there is no convenience store within a 1 block radius to pick up any beer. The sushi was fresh (see photos) and we enjoyed our sashimi plate and specialty rolls. However, parking in that area can be tricky and I don't live in walking distance. I will just request for a delivery in the future. There was one waitress and the service was slow. For those who live in Morris Park, this is your only bet for sushi. I guess it's better than nothing (there are a handful of Italian restaurants though). IFHTP 1 read more

Extremely satisfied ! I ordered the miso soup and the 3 roll combo with the eel, the California roll and the tuna. 10/10. So great and will be ordering again soon read more

This food is so bland I never had such I can't even describe it. I really just spend $30 for what the Ramon noodle is not even Ramon it just noodle in water with vegetables this is disgusting and the teriyaki chicken was grill chicken with just small amount of sauce never again will I buy froM here read more

Nice spot. Not bad at all. The lunch special of 2 rolls and a salad is good for $7.95. I'm not sure why I was the only one in the entire restaurant, but I enjoyed it. Its clean and service was fast and on point. I was literally in there for a total of 15 minutes. Ill be back. read more

The place is s great spot for sushi and cooked Japanese don't listen to all the salty reviews

Delicious. Everything is fresh and tasty. Excellent customer service. I've now ordered from them three times and have been very pleased.

My family used to order all the time, then one day about ... 3 or 4 years ago, the portions halved and the prices doubled. Especially noticeable in the rolls. We figured it's how they did takeout now and we stopped ordering. We decided to go in one day for a sit down meal a little while back (maybe 2 years ago). Same TINY rolls, same thin sashimi. It was disappointing. Then, my boyfriend went back about 4 months ago. No change. Expensive and very small portions once again. The boat was a joke. Basically nothing on that thing. Everything was so small. We were really annoyed. read more

Ordered out and got the Oyako Don ($7.95). The take out bowl was filled more with egg, in fact all of the rice was covered on top with egg and then there was some chicken. Some. The chicken was breast meat and flavored lightly with soy sauce. I think the dish would taste better if they used dark meat because the chicken would be tender and moist verses lean and grainy. The portion is enough for two meals for me so it's worth the money, but the taste isn't gourmet Japanese food. Look else where for good quality food, but if you're looking to satisfy an itch, then eat at Kiraku. read more

I was stoked when Kiraku opened in the 'hood. Fresh fish, simply & cleanly prepared for reasonable prices. The portions were satisfactory and the famous vibe of Japanese hospitality was ever present. I used to enjoy going there for impromptu, casual sushi/sashimi dinners. At one point they even had Toro by request at the bar. Sadly, I can't say the same knowadays. The quality and quantity has steadily decreased while the prices have shot up. The last time I ordered the sushi boat for delivery I was severely dissappointed. The fish was cut in a terrible, amateur fashion; as if the entree was prepared by a 12 year old wielding a ginsu slashing away at scraps and trimmings. The portions were absolutely inadequate and as I said the cutting was awful. Terrible. Unprofessional. The itamae should be ashamed of himself. I called the restaurant to complain, the hostess apologized profusely and promised me that the manager would call me the next day. I never heard from them. Don't waste your money. read more

My daughter is a picky eater and because of that, it's sometimes hard to find a place that smiles as she takes the recipe apart. Kiraku is super children friendly. They hug her when we come in and ask her if she wants the "usual", which both she and I adore. The first time I phoned in a take-out order, I forgot to tell them to make it her way but they recognized the entire order as the family's usual so the woman called me back and asked if this was indeed us. It was sweet. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the food could be better. But kudos to the competitive prices when you just want sushi without wanting to spend too much. Well, you get what you pay for, I can't really complain. PS- great kids' prices for the hibachi meals! read more

This review is strictly based on just their fried rice, although I know people who are big fans of their sushi. I tried their vegetable fried rice, after someone in my house placing an order for some other things. It is some of the best fried rice I have ever had! Very comparable to a lot of other hibachi restaurants which is a plus. Have been picking up my fried rice to go ever since :) read more

the most mediocre sushi, sashimi, and tempura... "Japanese" food. They've renovated the restaurant in recent years and expanded the place to accommodate a hibachi section, which I'm not too eager to try out. I feel like I always end up coming here for sushi because it's two blocks from my house. They make a decent beef fried rice - but don't eat the beef. Don't get the tempura ice cream. Go get some pizza instead. They have decent pizza in the area. read more
