Fish was fresh and everything was packaged neatly. I didn't think it could get much better than that but was I wrong! We dined in yesterday to watch the game, sat at the sushi bar. We were seated promptly. All staff was kind and attentive. We ordered 4 rolls and spicy edamame. Each roll was delicious and what a difference it made it have the sauces added by the sushi chefs. We loved the spicy rolls. They even have kraft beer from Japan outside of Asahi and Sapporo. We had a great experience at Kuu and can't wait to return.

I decided to come here with family after many people recommending this place. I'm not sure why. Not…read moreimpressed and I don't know what's the hype about this place. We went on a Saturday around 8 pm and it happened that they have happy hour. Not impressive either. It was 4 adults, 1 child and 1 baby in stroller . ONLY 4 adults ate. But somehow they charged 20% gratuity! What? Why? Because you're taking seats. Never heard of such a thing. Anyways this won't happen again as we won't be returning here Let's start since we got there. Saturday night at 8 pm. 2 of us for raw sushi and the other two don't like raw so they had Yakisoba and chicken teriyaki. So the sushi came first and we finished our food and the Yakisoba and chicken teriyaki is still not here. We had 4 different servers come asking for things and orders and one of them asked if we got the bill when we hadn't even gotten our food. Not to mention when we asked for straws. It was thrown on the table which is also unacceptable. Finally the hot food came and we decided we wanted more raw sushi and here comes another 25 minutes and still nothing. When the bill came and I saw we were charged for gratuity, I didn't like that because first of all, service was horrible, we didn't get to enjoy the meal together we kept looking to see if our food is coming. Then cherry on top, you would think the owner would try to make it better. No, it was even worse. Yea because you were taking seats. I said there is a kid in stroller and another kid who can't eat sushi. If you have kids, don't bring them because they'll charge you for the seat! The 2 stars is for the chaos roll and salmon sashimi. Everything else was NOT worth it Ridiculous and won't be returning

It was Happy Hour, so we ordered a few things from the Happy Hour menu. I ordered the salmon-baked roll and the Vegetable tempura roll. I love the taste of salmon, so I always order salmon rolls wherever I go. Sorry, but honestly, I didn't like the baked salmon roll here; there was too much sauce, and I couldn't really taste the salmon. Americans might like the taste. The vegetable tempura roll was ok. I think the rice was not tasty in either roll. The jasmine tea was my favorite type with blooming jasmine flowers. The service was excellent. There are also large tables, so it's good for families and groups. The parking lot is in front of the restaurant.

The Japanese style of grilling each item on a stick and coveted bar seating around the open kitchen squeezed into a narrow bustling space is truly authentic. If you're claustrophobic, walk through the interior dining area to the back patio for an open air experience. Food is ordered from an App so come with a full phone battery charge. You order each skewer and all other items and they are brought to your table as they come off the grill. We ordered a couple Japanese draft beers and the Spicy Garlic Edamame to start as we studied the revolving selection of skewers on the menu. Tip- keep that edamame plate because you're going to want to double dip with that leftover sauce. You choose your own adventure here and the quality of the food and preparation are outstanding. I think Sushi when I think Japanese food-- not here- it's Kushiyaki style ! There's no Sushi! We ordered One of many variations of filet mignon, ribeye and chicken skewers in order to taste our way through the menu. We kept ordering 2 at a time and sharing. The Unagi was a stand out for my husband and apparently is very popular. I felt that that the beef skewers were more flavorful than the chicken but all the proteins were grilled to perfection and very tender. The Fillet with onion sauce and the ribeye with yuzu were standouts to me. The servers are friendly and efficient. If you want the full experience, come early and snag a seat at the bar so you can watch the dinner theater. Here the focus is on the perfect bite! Tip: if you map it, you'll drive right by it. Look for the downtown Cafe Ficelle on Main across from Ventura HS and park. Then walk toward the Tattoo studio until you see an open door full of people and no visible signage. It truly is a Hidden Gem!

Very disappointing experience…read more We placed our order and paid through the restaurant's QR code ordering system. After some time, the owner came to our table and told us that another customer's order had somehow been charged to my credit card. She said she would cancel the transaction and asked us to place the order again. Naturally, I was concerned and asked for an explanation of how another customer's order could be charged to my card. Unfortunately, she repeatedly said she didn't know and offered no explanation or reassurance. Her attitude was dismissive and surprisingly unconcerned about what could have been a serious payment system issue. Because I was uncomfortable with the situation and the lack of transparency, I decided to cancel my order and leave. She simply said "OK" and showed little interest in addressing my concerns. Whether this was a system error or not, customers deserve a clear explanation when their credit card is involved in an unexpected transaction. The poor customer service and lack of concern left a very negative impression. I would be extremely cautious about using a credit card here in the future.

Jajangmyeon, but I didn't see it on the website nor on the menu during my visit. I'll have to ask next time. ​My Strawberry Yakult drink was nicely refreshing, and I would order this again. I will probably try to make it at home as well. ​My Kimbap was really good. It was simple, used fresh ingredients, and filled me up faster than I had anticipated. I ended up taking my chicken rice bowl home to enjoy later. It was still really good the day after, but it was just a chicken bowl. Good, but nothing surprising. ​The group also ordered wings and my sister got herself Naengmyeon. I will have to come back and try the other items on the menu. I'm happy an authentic Korean restaurant has opened in the 805. It has been a food desert for different cuisines for a long time, and I'm happy it's finally improving.

So far, my stats are 50/50 catching eggs in my mouth when they're flung toward me! Everyone gets a good laugh as they attempt to catch some, too! The other side of the restaurant is the sushi side, but I've never ordered sushi here (yet). You can also order sushi on the teppanyaki side, though. Once you order your meal, it also typically comes with soup, salad, and white or fried rice. I always have plenty to take home in a to-go container for another meal. My favorite is the teppanyaki chicken. I've also ordered the teppanyaki steak, but the meat was a little dry and not well seasoned. Prices are reasonable at $25-35 a plate, and you will get plenty of food. This is also a good place to take kids, as you can share your meal with them, and they will (hopefully) enjoy the show the chef puts on as he cooks. The group I arrived with included over 15 people, so the staff seated us at one large table. This is definitely a great place for enormous groups.

This is your place had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. I can't say I was impressed because I have had better sushi. It was not bad however it was not great. It felt like the kitchen was taken forever to make the rules, despite having a lot of staff. Staff were nice and professional. We had the spicy garlic edamame. I did not like that. It had the chili flakes on top of it. Usually, it is more of a good flavor rather than just chili flakes. Our favorite was the mango tango. we also tried in and out tuna, which was OK. We also had the spicy salmon and the salmon lovers. Overall, I would give them four out of five may or may not return. We also had four rolls to go, the only different one was the fast Eddie. We had told our server pretty much the same one we had ordered which we meant the in and out however she was distracted and said fast Eddie and he said yes but that was double the price of the other one. Regardless OK sushi place.

I have no idea how I have missed reviewing this spot…read more We go to and work at the California Strawberry Festival every year coming from Mesa, AZ. It used to be in Oxnard, and we had a tradition of a group of us going out on the Saturday night of the two-day festival. It then moved to Ventura so it could use the county fairgrounds and be a larger gathering of people at the annual event. Since it moved, we decided to find a new place to eat. Originally, we picked out about three different places, from Yelp, of course. Drove to the first two and they were crowded with limited to no parking. So, we all ended up at Sushi Fresh and have not looked back. Great staff inside. Greeted and felt welcome from the start, we now look forward to returning and seeing the same smiling faces each visit. You know it is a terrific place when the staff does not have high turnover. The food is fantastic. The sushi rolls, edamame, etc. are wonderful but the best part is how many items they have that are not sushi, in case you come in with a group of diverse eaters. Personally, I go for the dinner box - pick any two entrees and it comes with rice, soup, salad, and your choices. I usually get a teriyaki chicken and a sesame chicken, but this time went with the teriyaki and a Mexican Roll. Loved it. Already looking forward to our next visit, next year. Highly recommend this place to friends and family year-round even though we get in just once a year. Totally worth it.

She recommended this place as one of her favorites in town. When we arrived the host greeted us with a warm welcome and sat us down. When it came time to order I tried to order a Tiger Roll, remember I am a newbie. He wasn't aware of that but was real cool about it and didn't make me feel ignorant. He made other suggestions and we decided on three rolls (Crazy, Dragon, Snow) and they were all good. I really enjoyed the eel sauce on the Crazy(?) roll and I believe the Dragon roll was very close to the Tiger rolls I have been ordering. Again I have no idea what I am doing so I may have mixed up the names of the rolls. The place was very clean and cold which was very pleasant and relaxing. The host/server was also very attentive and nice. We already have plans to return and try more rolls. Hopefully, I'll see some of you there.
