Shrimp, steak and chicken fried rice!!

They were awesome and we celebrated my mom's 80th Birthday there!! The rice was very delicious. My mom greatly enjoyed her steak as well. Service was amazing

NY Strip Steak & Chicken

I visited after hearing about the ownership change and was impressed. There is a dining area and hibachi area with 7 grills. I sat in the regular dining area, but I'm going to try the hibachi area on my next visit. Service was attentive. Fresh sushi! It's hard to find hibachi places with fresh sushi. Hibachi food was seasoned perfectly, portions were generous, and prices were reasonable too. I also met some customers who have been coming here for years so I think that's a good sign for any local spots. Definitely worth checking out!

Squid salad.
Andrea M.

Such a cozy little spot all tucked away. The gf wanted to treat me to a belated bday treat, and Kirin House had a nice atmosphere. I'm in-between a 4 and 4.5, but I suppose the great sushi prices (and enthusiasm of the hibachi chefs on the other side) pushes the review to a 5. The squid salad was pleasing to the eyes and taste buds. It had a nice arrange of various tidbits of stuff. The squid pieces were small, but it inter-played with the noodles and other ingredients that made it a colorful little appetizer. We shared 4 sushi rolls that had a wowing reaction as they brought it out on a grandeur display board: Crunch dragon: This roll was really crunchy, hence its name. Literally all I see was the tempura flakes on top. The eel sauce provided some flavor to this smaller roll pick. The eel and avocado sort of blended in. There was supposed to be shrimp tempura in this roll, and maybe it was encompassed within (I didn't really examine, I just ate), but I think the shrimp tail ended up in the dynamite roll. *shoulder shrug* Dynamite: The tuna and yellowtail roll was a hearty one, but the flavors were more mild compared to the others. The fishes sat on top with various sauces (spicy mayo, eel, and hot sauce) along with crabstick and avocado. I think the shrimp tail ended up in this roll instead of the crunch dragon mentioned above. Geisha: My favorite! The salmon with cream cheese and avocado created a creaminess in your mouth. There was just something simplistic that made it taste super delicious. The spicy mayo provided a slight kick in flavor too. Kirin all the way: The tempura shrimp, soft shell crab, and avocado made this roll a mouth full. There was a slick kick/spice in flavor I suppose due to the spicy mayo in combination with the eel sauce. I guess "big roll" being specified was pretty accurate. Overall the food was nice, service was good (the sushi chef also shouted greetings our way), and reasonable price. It's a good spot for a nice occasion or a causal dinner since they also have hibachi.

The owner not only is an awesome chef... But helped his customer!!

Wow... The food is fantastic and always has been... we have gone for over 15 years and just love it- A family favorite... well tonight the owner of Kirin showed his true awesome colors... Our car died when we were leaving the parking lot- We asked several people for jumper cables and couldn't find anyone and lo and behold, Kim, the owner of current house comes out with jumper cables and pulls his car up on to ours!! We are forever grateful and will continue to support Kirin House!! Thank you!!

Roach in soup

We used to love eating at this place but can no longer return. Which is sad because they are one of the better hibachi places that we've been to. I also hate to leave negative reviews, but this needs to be addressed so they can get it together and not have this happen again. Today we sat down - excited to eat here. Got our soup, ate a decent portion of it only to discover a roach floating in it. We canceled our order and got out of there ASAP. We told the waiter and his response was only "OHHH"

Delicious salad
Brent Y.

Visited the Kirin House for the posthumous birthday celebration of my brother-in-law. My mother-in-law has visited this restaurant twice before and wanted the family to enjoy as well, especially for this type of celebration. The Service: Good - The service overall was good. Our waitress and hibachi chef were both friendly. Bad - Here's where things went bad. So, we started to notice that the plates and silverware was slightly dirty. My in-laws wiped off black residue from their plates which was noticeable on the cloth. This prompted everyone to ask for new plates and plastic utensils as well. When the plastic utensils came out, there were strands of hair around them. This honestly made us want to leave, but at this point, drinks were already there and food was already ordered, so we just asked for more plastic utensils and gave it over to God. The Food: I ordered "NY Strip Steak & Shrimp" from the Hibachi Combination ($25.50) with fried rice ($3.95) as well. The email also came with soup & salad. The combination tasted very good, but I don't feel the portion received was worth $25. Most of the meal was rice. For some reason, I feel like I get more for my money at other hibachi restaurants. Overall, the food was great, but the experience this time around was meh. Definitely could've been better. The hair and dirty dishes kinda kept this from being a better experience. 2.5

Herman was rude, not very friendly and very out of it. They didn't even have my wine. But everything was great

Recently, I was finally able to bring my husband to this place to check out their amazing lunch…read morespecials.... Despite loving the foods here, it's been awhile since I last visited...and I definitely noticed some changes in the menu. Luckily, the foods tasted as great as ever! My husband ordered the Katsu Chicken w/ Miso Soup Combo, and I had the Kimchi Nabe Udon Donkatsu Combo...plus an order of Shrimp Tempura...and again, everything was DEE-Lish!! What's mor, as mentioned before, the overall value of this quality meal was unbeatable! Despite near fast food pricing, the foods were so high in quality. Possibly the best, flakiest-crunchiest Katsu I've had in this year?? The thing that was a shockingly bad (no fault of the restaurant) was the crowd that day. It was early Sunday, and it was packed with young teens that were incredibly loud. All the adult diners seemed near shocked at how ridiculously loud they were being. I personally felt that they should have been chaperoned or something. Some of the teens looked REALLY young...like 13 or so? Frankly, they literally ruined the dining experience for everyone there! THAT aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the foods. Since I don't feel that I should penalize the restaurant for the rude, young diners, I'm keeping the stars the same...all 5 stars! Well deserved!!

Plenty of parking in the plaza. Quick service by ordering at…read morethe counter and everything else is self-service. You'll be buzzed when your food is ready. Pretty big place with lots of seating to choose from. The cheese to katsu was crispy in the outside and lots of cheese inside. I like that it comes with a cabbage salad, rice, and udon noodles. A lot of food! The oden udon was okay. That gave a good bit of oden.

Outstanding ramen, incredible fresh noodles, and excellent service from Aaliyah…read more Okiboru Ramen Takumen in Duluth was absolutely worth the visit, and honestly, I'm just mad at myself for not trying it sooner. I started with the Okiboru buns (chicken and pork) the crispy gyoza, and the garlic nori fries. All three were a great start to the meal. The buns were soft and fluffy, and the pork bun worked really well with the garlic aioli, soy glaze, and pickled cucumber. The chicken one was good too but the pork one beats it on flavor. The gyoza had a nice crisp to them and came with a shoyu dipping sauce that tied everything together well. The garlic nori fries were also really good, crispy and well seasoned, and a fun side to snack on between everything else along with the garlic sauce to dip your fries in. For my main dish, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which comes with rich pork broth, pork chashu, half a soft boiled egg, scallions, and thin Hakata noodles. I also added the thick noodle refill on the side, and I'm glad I did because both noodles were excellent in different ways. The biggest standout here was the noodle quality. You can tell immediately that these are fresh noodles because the texture is just on another level. The thin noodles were fantastic and worked perfectly with the tonkotsu broth, but the thick noodles were incredible too. It's one of those meals where after the first bite you immediately understand why people talk about fresh noodles the way they do. The broth itself was rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling overly heavy, and the pork in the ramen was very good too. Service was also a big part of why this visit stood out. Aaliyah was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she did a great job making the whole experience feel comfortable from the start. Good food is one thing, but good service is a huge part of what makes people want to come back, and she absolutely deserves a shoutout. The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I was dining solo, so I sat at a smaller table, but they also have booths and larger middle tables that look like they'd work well for bigger groups. Food came out pretty quickly, and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. And of course, everything got washed down with a Coke Zero. Not fountain, just canned, but it still hit the spot. This was an excellent meal from start to finish. Great appetizers, outstanding ramen, truly impressive noodles, and service that made the whole visit even better. I'll definitely be back.

The menu is very anime themed with animations as supporting background, but to me it was a little overwhelming. Seemed like there was too much going on with the anime and picture of the food, then the texts were blended into the anime, so it was hard to read the entree description, especially with dim lighting. Only criticism I'd make for improvement is to add more tuna based speciality roles. Majority are salmon. Crunchy salmon or fried something with salmon, I asked the waiter if the chef can make a crunchy tuna roll and he did, but at extra charge. They do have chefs specials and à la carte features like tuna nigiri for $8 for 2 pieces and 3 pieces of tuna sashimi for $12. Staff were extremely friendly and sincere. This one waitress ran after a customer thinking the cash left on the counter was money forgotten by the patron, not tip. The food was decent here and they are open pretty late. Chill and laid back environment to have a decent sushi meal. Will be back to try to omakase next time.
