Amazing. So great to have a high quality mom and pop sushi spot in walking distance. The nigiri is super fresh, generously portioned and has a light wasabi dressing on top that makes the tuna perfect. Albacore spicy crunch was so perfect. Almost too perfect. I'm usually not a fan of spice but the garlic and sesame flavors balanced out the spice perfectly. Service was amazing and ambiance was traditional Japanese and adorable, with walking travel shots of Japan on TVs in the room. Will be back for more.
Consistently the best flavor, service and value. When the need for sushi hits, we will drive from Silverlake. We almost always order the Agedashi Tofu and Chirashi. It's too much food, and we should try other menu items, but it's so good. I've developed a taste for uni now, and this restaurant is solely responsible.
What a totally underrated spot! So unassuming and away from the hub that is Old Town, Kyushu is tucked on the corner on Colorado. There's free parking in the rear, but looks like street parking isn't much of a problem. Upon walking in, it didn't seem like your average sushi bar. It really felt like an old school Japanese spot - so charming but chill. Service was fantastic! Our server (whose name escapes me) gave us his two cents and he did not steer us wrong! Got the Uni Chawanmushi, Pink Lady, the Lemon Salmon Roll and the Rising Yellow Roll. We also got a handroll each as well as an order of the red snapper sushi. Everything was phenomenal! Prices were super reasonable and I cannot wait to come back here!
We walked over from the Ice House to get a quick bite before our show started, and were SUPER impressed. Great menu, cute place, gracious service. My not so adventurous friend loved her miso soup & shrimp tempura cut roll. I LOVED: Double Hamachi roll Ankimo sushi ...so much so, I would drive from West LA just for these, and then try many more things. What a fantastic surprise! It wasn't until I came here to review our delicious dinner that I realized this secret is OUT. I will definitely be back for more super fresh sushi here!
We fiinally tried Kyushu Sushi and I was honestly surprised in the best way. The portions here are BIG. Not like the usual tiny little bites some sushi places give you--this place actually fills you up. The Blue Crab hand roll was legit delicious. Fresh, creamy, and overflowing with crab, not just rice filler. The tempura was also really good--not oily, perfectly crispy, and still light enough where you don't feel weighed down after eating it. Another plus... there's actually parking on the side which is a lifesaver ..but make sure your turn left right away cause its a one way street. No circling around forever looking for street parking. Overall, Kyushu Sushi was definitely worth it. The portions were surprisingly generous, the flavors were solid, and the quality was there in every dish. On top of that, the service was on point--everyone was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance inside was also really nice... casual but still clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We will absolutely come back again if we are in the area.
Got the chirashi bowl and they did not hold back on the fish. Each slice was thick and high quality -would definitely come back for just that. The miso soup was also tastier (sweeter?) than other restaurants. The restaurant is small but quiet on a Friday night. Their plate ware is high quality. Service was good.
Wow! What an amazing small mom and pop sushi restaurant! After a recommendation from a friend, I had to try it out! While the reviews all boast about the bento box, I wanted to try their sushi! We ordered their rising yellowtail roll, lemon salmon roll and spicy edamame! They were all so fresh and delicious! The service was excellent as well with the servers coming by frequently. Will be back again to try out more items from their menu!
This is the kind of place that surprises you. Expect a strip mall "Japanese" restaurant - no-frills lunch, not necessarily "authentic Japanese" -- once you level set that expectation, Kyushu Sushi absolutely delivers. I grabbed the bento lunch and was blown away. Every single compartment was packed to the brim. As if the chef kept asking, "What else can I squeeze in here?" As for the sashimi, it was thick-cut. However I will point out, the rice is not Japanese short grain and the tempura is Chinese style. I don't think it's possible one person can finish this bento. At $18.95, it's hands down the best deal in town when you're craving a Japanese fix. I can't wait to come back for their chirashi!
They have great lunch combo deals. We frequently visit for their 2-3 item bento boxes during lunch. Their hamachi collar bento is amazing. They also have a two or three sushi roll combo as well. My only complaint is that the rice for the sushi is a bit hard for my liking.
Great little Japanese spot. Service is friendly and the quality of the food is fantastic. Came here for lunch, lunch special from 11am-3pm. Bento Box: Lunch Special #13 Tonkatsu + Tempura + Sashimi 9/10 - The tonkatsu was crunchy and tender, goes really well with the Katsu Sauce. Sashimi was fresh and melts in your mouth. Tempura was lightly battered and crunchy. Sushi: Spider Roll 10/10 - Huge fan of soft shell crab. The crab was perfectly battered, and had a nice crunch. Spicy Tuna 8/10 - The tuna was fresh. Overall, the roll was solid. Salmon Avocado 9/10 - The salmon was fresh and melts in your mouth. The avocado was creamy and really helped balance the salmon. Side note - The rice for all three rolls was perfectly cooked, soft and really kept everything together. All this great quality food (3 rolls X2 and a Bento Box) came out to $55 w/ tax. Extremely affordable lunch special. If you're in the area, check this place out!
AMAZING sushi experience. Service was so attentive! The meal was amazing!! So flavorful and thick cuts of sashimi. We got the chirashi special mixed sashimi, salmon sashimi, and 3 rolls for the lunch special. Great deal for lunch pricing.
My co worker and I were in the area and was craving sushi. We were driving along Colorado when we saw this place. I pulled over to check on yelp and found the place has decent reviews so we turned around and came back to try this place. We got here right when they just opened. The staff seated us right away and took our orders. We got: Gyoza and deep fried squid tentacles for appetizers which were so good. We both got their lunch Bento which I would say the serving was huge. I got the tonkatsu with California roll. I am a big fan of katsu so whether it is tonkatsu (pork) or chicken katsu I will gladly order that. Everything was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. No wonder why they have a high rating and good reviews. I highly recommend this place. The staff was very nice and the lady was always smiling. Prices were very reasonable. My co worker and I were surprised how cheap they were compared to other places. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.
The food quality and food portion here is awesome. We ordered hamachi kama, takoyaki, dragon roll and sake and beer. The fish taste fresh, the takoyaki is nicely decorated with bonito flakes and seaweed, and the hamachi kama is full sized. Big thumbs up. The service is decently fast and the owners are very friendly. They also have plenty of parking in the back. Highly recommend!
Kyushu Sushi is such a gem! This cute, casual sushi spot has super friendly staff, and the sushi is definitely top-tier. The quality is amazing, but I was also impressed by the portions! We were a party of 3 and honestly weren't expecting them to be busy on a Monday night, but they were! When we chatted with our waiter, she mentioned they're actually pretty busy often--and TBH, I can totally see why. If you're a sushi lover, you'll definitely want to check this place out and decide for yourself if it meets your sushi palate. read more
Casual dining. Gold flake sprinkles. Fancy sushi that tastes just as decadent. Kyushu Sushi, you are a gem! Came for dinner on a weeknight with a party of 3, and had a great experience dining at Kyushu. When you walk in, it feels like any other casual sushi joint. Yet their sashimi and sushi dishes truly stand out, not just from their beautiful presentation, but from their good quality fish. Their raw fish definitely stand out more than sushi rolls. My favorite was their four piece salmon sushi combo, which includes truffle salmon with actual truffle pieces on top. Their sashimi is generous in size, and so fresh so good. I enjoyed their sushi, hubbie thought it was a bit too big. Can't go wrong with big. We got our appetizer fried squid at the end, but I was sure to take a taste. It was so good! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor. I would drive 45 minutes back to Pasadena for our meal at Kyushu again. Thanks for an amazing dinner, Kyushu Sushi! read more
By far, the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. Their portions are generous and is reasonably priced! I had the small sashimi plate which had a wide assortment of fresh fish, including scallop topped with uni and 24 karat gold flakes. It was amazing! The pieces of sashimi are thick. My appetizer was the steamed egg topped with uni. Very decadent! We also had agedashi tofu, and some hot sake. The meals come with miso soup and salad. I will definitely be back! Service is fantastic, ambiance authentic feel of a sushi restaurant in Japan. read more

I stopped in because of just left as business down the street and the weather was so hot. Inside is very homey and traditional. The sushi chef is right there facing the customers tables. I rarely frequent Japanese restaurants because I'm not a sushi fan but I love tempura! I ordered green tea to start with a cucumber salad which was so fresh and hit the spot. My main dish was the tempura which was crispy and light and almost melted in my mouth! The service was great as all the servers checked in on me even with a full house in a Friday evening. Overall a solid 10/10 on everything that I ordered and I'll definitely be back! read more

The pros of this place would be price, portion size and silverware. The cons however highly outweigh the cons. Food took over 40mins to arrive. My miso soup had piece of sponge or something. I didn't want to mention it, but my wife insisted. The staff gave no apology or any concern. Felt like she thought we were lying about it or something. The tempura batter was more than what I like. The teriyaki sauce was off too. Ended up full, but definitely quality is not there. I would rather head down to south pasadena and pay a little more for a bento there. read more
Ordered take out of sashimi and sushi bentos, California roll and Spicy Tuna Hand Roll. All were fresh and beautifully arranged... even for take out. Will definitely be ordering from them or eating on-site in the future. read more

Ordered Doordash and it was delivered so fast and fresh! The menu had so much variety and different kinds of rolls, sashimi, bento boxes, noodles, etc. Pricing was very reasonable ($15-20). The Tonkatsu Bento Box (lunch special - $23.50 on Doordash & $18.50 at the restaurant) was HUGE! It had lots of pork cutlet and it was fried perfectly without being too greasy or salty. The tempura was so delicious and so crispy! The rice didn't taste like the usual Japanese sushi rice and seemed like a lower quality rice. The sashimi was so fresh and yummy! The salad was decent, nothing too special. The miso soup was pretty good and wasn't too salty. This set was 9/10 for me Would definitely return and recommend read more
I've driven by the place many times and finally made the visit. Very small place so if you have a large party you'd want to call in. There was one other customer when I arrived. They had a yellowtail bowl and salmon bowl. Since they were the same price I asked if I can do half and half which they were nice enough to do. They do bring complimentary edamame to start. Then got miso soup and salad. The soup was not in a traditional bowl but it was pretty good as was the salad. Then my bowl arrived. As you see from my picture the fish was very fresh. At first it didn't seem like a lot of rice but the amount of fish made up for it. My only issue is the fish was cut too big for my taste. Maybe I'll try nigiri next time. read more
Quality sushi. Service was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon and tuna hand rolls--both were fresh and really well made. The miso soup was a nice surprise--larger than expected and really comforting. Also appreciated the complimentary edamame to start. Finished with a Diet Coke. Solid sushi spot :) read more

I was in the area and wanted to eat lunch before heading to work. I went in and was able to be seated right away as it wasn't busy. I ordered a spicy tuna roll, two pieces of uni sushi and a fireball salmon roll. Everything I ate was delicious and I will definitely come back again to eat sushi here. read more
New place for Japanese food and sushi and wanted to give it a shot based on the positive reviews. First of all, the portions were generous and couldn't finish it all. The vegetable tempura was well fried and crisp. Lemon salmon roll was very tasty, spicy tuna roll topped with salmon and lemon wedges. Great presentation even for take out. The katsu dinner comes with soup and salad, very tasty dressing. Giant portion of katsu. The prices at first glance seem to be on the high side a but the portions justify it. Great food value. 5 stars read more

I tried this place on a whim after a Dr. appointment. I got miso soup, the fireball salmon roll and a Sapporo beer. The miso was super tasty. I loved my fireball roll. It was super yummy! Very fresh. And the chili oil added a good spicy kick! Beer paired well! Ordered the teriyaki entree to go and it was also delicious!!! It's a good sized plate! Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place read more
Wow this place was so good! The sashimi was very fresh! This will be our new sushi go-to spot in Pasadena. You must go check it out if you love sushi and sashimi. Our server Jeremy was very attentive and pleasant. In addition to the dining area which can seat maybe 40 people, there's also sushi bar seating . Parking is on the street or in the back (ramp up to the second level behind the restaurant). read more

Have been my go-to place for over a year. The food is great and in generous amount, service is always great and warm, almost feels like family. The atmosphere is chill and is a decent place for business or friends/family gatherings, but always affordable enough for a casual lunch/dinner. read more
We were excited to give this restaurant a try and we're so happy that we did! We came in during the work week lunch hour and it was packed. The food portions were large and you definetly get your money's worth with each dish. All the items were very well priced. The quality and taste was great. We are adding this restaurant to our lunch crew rotation and we'll back soon! read more
We stumbled upon this neighborhood sushi restaurant and was delighted to say that the sushis are fresh and good! We ordered a baked lobster roll, some sashimi and they gave us edamame on the house. I don't know if they have applied for a liquor license yet but hopefully they did and we can wash it down next time with some beer or sake. Service was attentive and friendly. We will come back for sure. read more
