Kitsho may lack a bit in the area of service, but their quality of sushi and Japanese food more than make up for it. A little know secret is they have an entire menu of food that is not on the English Menu, it...

One of the things I miss most about the bay area (now that I live in LA) is not having a great sushi place like Kitsho around. This restaurant has the freshest sushi around (almost like being in Japan)....

Umm yeah, what everyone else says. Great sashimi - really fresh. But the teriyaki chicken was bland. Stick with the fish and the more authentic Japanese dishes.
