Came in as a party of 7 at 7:50 and they couldn't accommodate us, so we told them we would be ok with splitting the party if that worked. They agreed, but then mentioned that the cooks were upset, so they would need to charge us 20% gratuity on both the parties (3 and 4) that had now split. I always tip, but like why charge gratuity when we are quite literally two different parties at that point. read more

This is my second review, but many times we've been here and always enjoy the food. Date night tonight was excellent and I just wanted to shout out Caleb (s/p?) who was our sushi chef tonight at the bar seating. He was proficient, attentive, funny, easy to talk to and his sushi making was impeccable. We even paid extra after doing all you can eat to take some to go for later. Our waitress (I missed her name I'm so sorry but Caleb may know!) was also kind and sweet with a brilliant smile. Always a lovely time coming here. read more

A small place that's a favorite to many, the service is friendly, the prices are fair, and the food is excellent. I love almost all their rolls, but I highly recommend their salmon skin rolls. Both soft and crunchy, the texture is complex and the flavor is so good you close your eyes to savor the intermingling flavors. So great. Congratulations Kei! We celebrate your great food! read more

The wife and I went to have Sushi on Saturday August 2 2025. We were asked is it all you can eat? We stated yes. We were sat at a table and ordered our appetizers. We then proceeded to order our rolls which we always have prepared with soy paper. We are sorry we are out of soy paper. Why were we not told that before sitting at table. Our waitress did the best she could and charged us an Ala Carte fee. We won't be going back. There are plenty of Sushi restaurants in Carson City. read more

Teriyaki beef was very salty. I should have asked for no sauce or on the side, red dragon roll was very good roasted. Dining is cozy atmosphere. Service was good. read more

Kei Sushi feast with sake at home ~ I'm IN!! On a Saturday in March we had a craving for sushi and a combo deal popped up in Social Media that we could NOT pass up with curbside pickup - talk about easy breezy. Three different combo options that included miso soup plus added bonus we spotted a deal for 25% off wine, beer and sake...ummm dinner and drinks, yep this gal was ordering before her hubby could change his mind LOL Of course anytime you have a hunger for sushi you lose your mind and start ordering everything on the menu, cause you all know that you want one of everything...tell me I'm lying LOL...so we lost our minds and order enough for welllll as Kei Sushi provide for us at least four people and it was just the two of us - yes I am laughing as I write this. Because we seriously put a hurt on the delicious offerings and ourselves. We ordered two Combo #3: Miso soup ~ PERFECTION!! Dragon Balls (Stuffed Jalapenos) ~ daBOMB!! Sunomono (Cucumber salad) & Edamame ~ yummmyyy!! Gyoza & Eggrolls ~ delicious!! Nigri: Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, Kei Tuna & Rooster Salmon ~ OMTASTY goodness! Cici roll, Mango Tango roll, Ninja roll, Ceviche roll ~ deLISH!! Andddd for our libation addition we ordered: Sho Chiku Bai sake, Sapporo & Hana White Peach sake ~ Cheers!! Yessss, indeed we were sushi drunk with leftovers because despite how deliciously fresh everything was we could we couldn't finish everything. We did however have a tasty snack for the next day - I know most of your are thinking how could you possibly save sushi for the next day but we did and it was still pretty yummmyyy!! Overall, ordering was simple as Kei Sushi in Carson setup a second phone line for the additional curbside takeout, upon our arrival we called to let them know we were there. They came right out with our order, the staff was in gloves and masks (this was back in March - I would like to add as a side note). It was AWESOME to have a sushi feast on a Saturday night as a date night at home and if you are craving sushi I would recommend grabbing one of the combo specials. I also hope that they continue the deal along with the wine/beer/sake after this - because we would definitely pick this up again. Thanks Kei!! See you soon for another sushi and sake splurge!! read more

We came in for lunch on Sunday, I love the food here and would score you higher if this place was cleaner. It looks like it has been a long time since you had a deep clean. Bathrooms were very dirty and trash was full at 11:15 am. read more

awful sushi, barely edible. it was dry, no flavor and wasn't fresh. Wouldn't order here again

Hands down my favorite sushi place in the Reno/Carson area. If you are in either city, this place is an absolute must. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. The Carson city location is great- always welcoming and I always get seated quickly. They have such a long list of rolls and what I love is that every roll is different, unlike some places where all the rolls seem to taste the same. Service is always quick and they are always attentive. I like that this place offers table seating, booth table and bar seating. It's calm with dim lighting and makes for a romantic date night or a classy night out with friends. Give this place a try! You won't regret it. read more

Very colourful, incredibly flavourful. It's easy to see why the place is packed. No seats to be had at the bar. Reservations heavily recommended for the tables. A serious sushi venue right here in north Carson City. I feel that with sushi you can't define a failure or success based on taste. It's sushi and tastes and opinions vary. Presentations are uniquely that way, also. I can guarantee a relaxed family friendly restaurant that is ideal for folks of all ages. It's also conducive to large groups. We totaled 12 folks tonight and we were seated and treated to a wonderful experience pretty quickly. Prices may seem steep but value to money wise it all works out. There are non-sushi options available and the saki flows freely! There's even carry out. Parking is a cinch with plenty of spots right in front of the eatery. You'll find a rack for your bicycle, if needed. 12/19 read more

Enjoyed the quality of sushi, sat at the bar - but the friendliness and customer connection by staff is lacking. With great Sushi places in Reno, not in a hurry to go back. read more

Huge menu, super fresh, all-you-can eat sushi! Around $32/pp for all you can eat. Sat at the bar and had great service. Most of the menu was included in the ayce which is not the case everywhere. Will definitely be returning! read more

First off... the rice is not good. There is good here, tempura and soft shell crab. This is not a review of their sushi which is on the thin side and mediocre. If I were to rate them for sushi it would be 2 stars. Sadly they don't have sashimi or Nigiri type plates or other traditional Japanese entrees. What I do like here is their soft shell crab and their tempura plate. Both of these are excellent. Their soft shelled crabs are large and served with tempura sauce and are delicious. The tempura plate is large, the shrimp are large and properly cooked. They come with a large serving of a variety of vegetables that are well battered. My only minor griipe is that they're served with teriyaki sauce, not tempura sauce... you'll need to ask for that if you want it. What could make this better? Proper steamed rice, which they don't seem to have as the tempura is served with sushi rice that has too much vinegar... or something...., sliced cabbage for the teriyaki sauce and shredded dycon for the tempura sauce... which would be traditional. read more

I'd actually give this business 4.5 stars if I could and only removed a star because they made us wait for a table and got mixed up and sat others that canned in after before us. They had a number of vegetarian options and bathroom was clean. read more

Hands down my most frequented sushi spot. I'm obsessed with the sushi here! They are also so friendly and nice when seating you and everything. The sushi is so good favorite roll here is the Ixtapa roll. Also love the music they play in the background nice place to go and have a good meal and good conversation! read more

The rolls are amazing there is so much variety on the menu everything is so fresh and delicious and the service is awesome it is priced very reasonable this is a must visit read more

I have tried every sushi place in town and I end up comparing them to Kei Sushi. They are consistently fantastic time after time and everything is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The service is expedient, efficient and so friendly - I have NEVER (not even once) been disappointed. I have been coming here for years and I was thrilled when they opened their Reno location - which is bigger, but just as incredible. The owners know what they are doing and the staff are all well trained and happy. They are so clean and sanitary! Let me repeat that for everyone in the back.... THEY ARE SO CLEAN AND SANITARY! All of the workstations are clean and the shops are meticulous about making sure that there is no crossover of ingredients between rolls. All the fish is SUPER fresh - ALWAYS. Not just at a certain time, but ALWAYS. I have at different days/times over the years and IT IS ALWAYS FRESH! You will see check ins all the time now that I have figured out yelp - my favorite place of all time! read more

After hitting up Carson City Hot Springs I was feeling some AYCE sushi and used my yelp app. and this restaurant was the closest to the hot springs so me and my old lady decided to try this place out. I'm not saying I'm the sushi king but this AYCE sushi restaurant has to be the best I've tried in all of Reno and Sparks NV! Who would've known that this spot was that amazing. Now lets get down to the food... Dragon Balls- This is on the appetizers portion of the menu and its jalapeno's stuffed with shrimp, spicy crab, and cream cheese. OMG! These bad boys were AMAZING!! We ordered about 4 plates of this and trust me, you have to try them. Fire Ball- This is in the Specialty Nigiri section and it comes with only 2 pieces. It's tuna topped with spicy tuna, fried onions and teriyaki sauce. Come on now tuna lovers, tuna on top on tuna..? What's there not to love about that? This is another must try if you like tuna. Everything here was fresh, made to order and the service was on point! Overall, Reno and Sparks need to step up their sushi game because I really don't want to drive 45 min to get my AYCE sushi fix. This is a must try if you're in the Carson City area. read more

This is specifically about the food. The sushi was not good. We could not really eat it and it didn't taste fresh. I would not feel comfortable eating any sushi here unless it's cooked. We are from Toronto and have sushi very frequently. I'm guessing the love for this place comes from their great happy hour deals. But if you have a taste for good sushi I would likely look for another place. Wish we could have enjoyed it more but ended up not eating most of the rolls we ordered. read more

For $31 and change this all you can eat in CARSON CITY OF ALL PLACES lives up to the Bro and Twin's hype. It helped that they've already tried the menu and know what's up so I didn't have to waste my time figuring out what I wanted, or wasting food if I didn't like a roll. Baked mussels were delicious. A little overcooked at some parts but tasty for all. Salmon nigiri comes with slices of lemon. Salmon could be cut thicker but it hit the spot. The great white has escolar, a light white sauce, and crushed macadmia nuts. This was tasty and my first time trying escolar. Loved the torched taste. Escolar nigiri was also good, melted in my mouth, a fatty oily fish. No ikura and unagi is only one serving per table. We had some other dishes but I don't remember them. Everything tasted great and I wished we weren't so full from lunch. I would've eaten more. Would love to come back, it's a two hour drive for me. read more

When I want local AYCE Sushi, this is my go to place. They are a variety of rolls and Nigiri to choose from. Wish they used less rice, but hey, nobody's perfect! I'd be here more often is such weren't the case, seriously! It's a nice sized place and can get packed especially on Fridays and Saturdays! Have had to wait minimum 30-45 minutes for a party of one. It attracts people of all sorts young and old. It's a casual place for all. Service is really attentive provided they get really busy! There are some dessert sushi rolls I've never experienced, not bad. Prefer my go to in Reno but won't hesitate to come here when the craving hits. read more

Don't get stuck by the sushi police. We didn't finish our AYCE and were forced to pay the extra $5 for not finishing my food. It's all good but rather petty but it's pretty standard here in NV. My Fuji Mountain with crystal shrimp and spicy mayo topped with Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, avocado and spicy Krab was pretty good. Had I known that spicy Krab was a staple here versus an exception I would not have asked the chefs to come up with something unique. Instead it was more spicy Krab with tuna and salmon. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her rolls and appetizers. All in all a good value just a not so stellar experience for me. read more

Awesome sushi! I tell everyone about Kei sushi. We go to Carson city and Reno kei sushi, they are both great.

We have gone here a few times during pandemic. We feel the tables are well spaced and the servers always have not only their mouth covered but their noses. I probably won't be back due to some surgeries until maybe December, but I have these pictures I'd like to share from this summers visits. read more

This place is a joke , we walk in at 430 pm and are told that that they cant seat us cause they have people coming in the next hour , meanwhile the dining area is not even half full , so make sure u plan weeks in advance , what a joke ! And to be clear... we were a party of 4, 2 adults with our 2 young kids. Clearly we weren't there to camp out all night. Just eat & leave. read more

Came to Kei Sushi on 9/30/2022 for my twin daughters 21st birthday dinner, we were a party of 12 all doing all you can eat sushi. We had a 7:30 p.m. reservation, three of us showed up at 7:40 p.m. we were promptly seated with our group, but it took the waitress at least 15 min. to come and get a drink order for us. We put our drink order in along with the first order of appetizers, mussels, and 10 pieces of nigiri, the three of us at the end of the table were going to share. It took approx. 30 minutes for us to get our order, and being that it took so long, I asked the waitress if I can put in our first dinner order of rolls, she responded saying no you have to finish this order first (the appetizers) .... Okay never heard of that before but OK! We finished quite quickly because the three of us were sharing and waited another 15 minutes for her to come back for our next order, although we noticed a black hair on our mussel, and when we brought it to the attention of the manager, she insisted it was mussel hair, again ok never seen that either but it was my daughters 21st birthday so let's move on! Another 15 minutes go by, they were the slowest ever! and that was for the whole table, we were sitting around waiting for orders, and waiting to order it was a bit ridiculous! Eventually the waitress came back to take our dinner roll order, we put it in but I noticed we ate the appetizers without ginger and wasabi, so I politely asked for it, she said well our policy is to only bring out the ginger and wasabi with the first order and she stated she did so when she brought out the order to the rest of the group at the other end of the table. I said I understand but we are a party of 12 so we need a few saucers of wasabi and ginger. She got really flustered and frustrated, I said take a deep breath don't get frustrated she was overwhelmed and had a bad attitude! The customer service was terrible, but the food was very good. I understand having a busy night could be frustrating, but we were celebrating a event, and spent $627.00. Not sure if we will give them another try at this time. read more

My husband and I love this place. Great service and the sushi is always so fresh and good. It never feels crowded even when it is full and it's a great place for a nice date night out. A must try if you like sushi. read more

Delicious food and excellent service from Jiles! From the general consensus in Carson City....this is the best place to get fresh and flavorful sushi!

Came into Kei for lunch one week day and was presently surprised. It was busy in this small classing looking sushi location but they were able to seat us at the bar right away. They have a great menu and plenty of options to choose from. Sushi came out fast and everything tasted great. Staff were friendly and I would definitely come back here! read more

I went here last night for the first time and had an amazing time. We had a reservation for a party of 6, we were promptly seated and our waitress helped us out very quickly. She was great and very attentive the whole night, remembering all the rolls and little things we asked for. The bussers were great too!!! They had eagle eyes to come pick up the plates as as soon as we were done with them since it was limited spacing with all the food we got. The food too.... I tried a little bit of everything and the rolls were SO tasty. There was so much variety and things to choose from. Everything tasted super fresh. Special shout out to who made the playlist, all the tunes were BANGERS and set a great ambience. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in cc!!! Only regret I didn't get pictures because I left super full and super happy :) read more

Great sushi, fresh and delicious. Thanks for great service too. I will be back. It is always clean and the sushi chefs are artists.

I usually visit for lunch at the end of the week. The all you can eat sushi is a favorite. The Sake raw nigiri is served with a 1/2 lemon slice, it is really refreshing. Portion sizes are large. Of the specialty nigiri my favorites are rooster salmon, and salmon lover. The dining area is large, and pleasant. Sushi chefs are friendly and keep the items coming. Highly recommend this place. It's my go to for sushi. read more

This was my first time doing a pick up order. Kei is such a good place for all you can eat- but the last few times we've tried to dine in on a Friday or Saturday the wait times have just been way too long. We opted for take out- which wasn't as good as deal but the food was as delicious as ever. Love the staff and the service there, they're always super helpful. read more

Best sushi in Carson city hands down super fresh ! Service is hit or miss depending on your server . Love the vibe inside . My suggestion is to make a reservation if you plan on going Friday , Saturday or Sunday for dinner read more

Both the food and service were very good. The lunch option had multiple choices for the flat price.

Kei sushi was decent. It's hard to write a review for an establishment that sits right in the middle of the spectrum of food options. The decor is nice, the place was clean....enough and the staff was friendly. The sushi came out incredibly slow and when it arrived it was just OK. They do have some really fun and interesting flavors in some of their rolls but the rice was a little over cooked which makes sushi feel very heavy and the chew was a little gloppy and sticky. Not what I personally like in a sushi roll. All in all not a bad dinner but not great either. read more

Absolute garbage. Hate to be that guy to say I've been in Carson City for this long and have been coming here for all these years...but I have. We use to love coming to this place. It is not the same anymore. I get prices going up, inflation and all that but this was just straight price gauging. The plates are incredibly small being "adult size". 12 dollars for some fried rice that could easily be my kids plate. The tipping point why I'm writing this though is that we ordered chicken fried rice for my one year old daughter which came with no chicken. So the owner decides to say " maybe she ate it all already." Out of touch, terrible service, high prices and overall just a horrendous experience. Definitely proceed with caution. It deserves negative stars for the way we were treated. read more

The sushi here has always been very good and very fresh. The unagi is the best. Crunchy rolls are diverse and interesting.
