Tried the new menu item, Aji -- the body was lightly fried while still tasting incredibly fresh. Such a unique and delicious combination. The cocktails were amazing, and the atmosphere was just as great. Everything we ordered was honestly so good. Definitely coming back! read more

An absolutely stunning dining experience -- both visually and flavor-wise. The oysters were incredibly fresh and beautifully presented on ice, paired with ponzu and bonito flakes sauce that added the perfect umami depth and citrus brightness. Each bite was clean, briny, and layered with complexity without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the oyster. The uni pasta was one of the most surprising dishes of the night. I'll admit -- I was initially a little disappointed to learn the uni was cooked rather than served raw. However, the creativity completely won me over. The sauce was rich, velvety, and deeply savory, coating the noodles beautifully. It felt comforting yet elevated -- a bold and thoughtful execution. The sushi was exceptional. The fish cuts were buttery and precise, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The wasabi had that real, clean heat -- not overly harsh -- and truly brought out the natural sweetness of the fish instead of overpowering it. Even the pickled ginger was perfectly balanced: not too sweet, lightly sour, and pleasantly crisp, which is rare and very appreciated. The pork belly was another standout -- crispy exterior, tender and juicy inside -- paired with apple slices and a vibrant purée that added brightness and contrast. The textures and balance were spot on. From plating to flavor composition, everything felt intentional and refined without being pretentious. A thoughtful, creative menu that respects traditional Japanese elements while adding modern twists. The wait staffs are a knowledge and attentive. Definitely a five-star experience. I would happily return. read more

I had been wanting to try this spot out for a while and I finally decided to go one Sunday night for their late night happy hour. Their late night happy hour is fro 9pm to close and they have discounted sushi and other items. Our server was great and he recommended alot of great items. The inside of the restaurant is cute as well and it gives date night vibes. We ordered several different things. We got the chicken boa bun, the shishito peppers, different types of nigiris, two different hand rolls and the wagyu. Everything tasted great but my favorites were the wagyu and the tuna handroll. I will be back to try their other items! read more

Came during happy hour after a long haul from New York. This is probably full stop one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to at a super reasonable price for premium nigiri (happy hour is maybe 25-50% discount 9pm to close). Favorites are the saba mackerel, blue fin akami, botan ebi and chutoro. Didn't get to try the gyu toro - coming back here to try everything else... Couple of the pics have half-eaten pieces, I was so eager I forgot I wanted to even take pics.. read more

My favorite local Japanese restaurant to eat at either solo at the bar or for a date night or even family night with our toddler. It's so accommodating to whatever your needs are - from the service, ambience, array of food, and cleanliness! The food is so refined, clean, and delicious. Everything has its purpose and should be eaten as served, whether by the chefs in the kitchen or behind the sushi bar. The cocktails are also fantastic and refreshing. Please add this to your next foodie outing - I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Happy Hour at Kichi Bar is wonderful! Handrolls and nigiri were all great! I do think their appetizers have room to improve because in our experience the karaage was more soft than crispy, and the pork buns were quite average. I do want to shout out the servers because they were so kind and attentive! read more

Love loved this place! The server was so nice and knowledgeable. The sushi, sashimi was fresh and flavorful. The appetizers are a surprise and very good. Good choices for vegetarians too! Must try are the hamachi, mushroom fritters, maki rolls! The ambience is nice and cozy and its in the city. The price is decent for the flavor! I wish the nigiri would come as 2 pieces instead of 1 for the price. read more

Definitely worth a visit! Will be coming back! I'm so glad we found this place. We wanted to try something new. The restaurant is tucked away in the plaza behind the PNC Bank, so I'm hoping no one misses it! Vibes alone is what this area has been needing. This place has been missing some upscale vibes. But it's not so upscale that you'd feel uncomfortable coming in casual. Def date night, friends night gathering with great food and yummy cocktails. We enjoyed the food. We opted for the Kichi Sashimi Set, recommended by our lovely server. This was a good choice to get a variety of the restaurant's offering. I loooved the Maitake - tasty for mushroom enthusiasts and will change those "partial" opinions too. The sashimi was nice and we added the Uni Pasta which was really good especially when paired with the Waygu steak that they cook to what I call perfection. Each items plating was beautifully done, leveling up the elegance of the place and the price was really reasonable for what you get. I mentioned the service and want to reiterate how great it was from every touch point. read more

Lots of parking and located on the side of a bank. I ordered the kichi signature tasting and it wasn't a particularly good deal. I would say that you would have to order more food on top of it to feel full. I think the sushi here is quite pricey, we spent a little over 100$ for two and didn't feel satisfied. Waiters were nice but couldn't explain to us which handroll was which. read more

After seeing kichi bar show up in my tiktok feed I knew I had to try it out and after trying it, I can say it absolutely lives up to the hype. I ordered the signature tasting menu and was blown away by how delicious everything was. The fish was super fresh and flavorful. Our hostess was super sweet and took care of us, giving us some awesome recommendations as well! read more

Kichi is not your average sushi restaurant! The customer service is outstanding - friendly and attentive. We got to chat with the chef and watch as he was preparing intricate sushi dishes. The ambiance is just right for an intimate date or place to catch up with friends. We came here just to try their authentic ice cream and were not disappointed. You have to try the cinnamon flavor - soo yummy! They also have an ice cream made from ube and coconut which made my whole mouth purple! Such a fun experience! The restaurant is tucked away around the building so it's a little bit hidden, but don't let that stop you from trying this place. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for authentic japanese food, good vibes, and a calm relaxing atmosphere. read more

Maybe I went on a bad night but the fish at Kichi wasn't good... I love sushi and I love strong tasting fish but I don't think the fish at Kichi was prepared to the optimum level... it tasted "fishy" (not in a good way) and not flavorful. I ordered ALL of the "Kichi Hand Roll" (all 7 of them at the time of this review) to try. The best tasting one to me was the "Maitake Cripy Enoki" because it's the one without any fish in it. One of the chefs gave me a free handroll to try and while this one was slightly better... it's still not what I'm expecting. Usually at a handroll restaurant I can eat it without any soy sauce but at Kichi I feel like I have to go heavy on the sauce in order to get flavor and mask the fishy taste... My friend ordered some traditional nigiri and he thought it was good. So maybe it's just the hand roll quality. The service was great. Every staff member was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was nice as well. I thought the restaurant itself was kinda hard to find as it's behind the bank building. read more

Kichi Bar is a fantastic new addition to the sushi scene--just a month in and already impressing. The ingredients are fresh, the rolls are flavorful, and the menu has something for everyone. Service is warm and attentive, which makes the experience even better. The space has a nice modern feel with jazzy background music that sets a relaxed, cool vibe--great for date nights, family dinners, or catching up with friends. Prices are affordable and the portion sizes feel generous. A couple of things to note: parking is a little tricky since some spots are reserved, so you may want to bring your walking shoes until the business grows (valet would be a great option down the road). Also, they don't have alcohol stocked yet, but for now bourbon lovers will be happy to know they're offering complimentary pours until they do. All in all, a promising new sushi spot that's only going to get better. Definitely worth checking out! read more

interior is beautiful, food quality was great and pricing was good as well! I attended during their grand opening and ordered their nigiri set. It comes with miso soup, a bun (choose either chicken or pork), spicy tuna hand roll, 4 pieces of nigiri (chef choice) and 1 choice of either Uni or A5 nigiri. My favorite item was the uni nigiri. it was so fresh and creamy. We also ordered the uni pasta, totally recommend. Staff members were excellent as well! Answered all of our questions and were patient. Kept refilling our water cups as well. read more

Absolutely love all of the food I tried! I got the signature sampler and it came with 6 different dishes. It also came with ice cream and I got ube and coffee flavors. I also order some extra eel roll since all the food was so good. My favorite was the wagyu and the potato, seared scallop, fried mushroom and more. Everything was great, and the service was amazing especially London. He is great! read more

This spot is an absolute must go to! The staff here is friendly and attentive. They give great explanations on what each dish is which is great. I love to hear about exactly what I'm trying. The ambience is very quiet and romantic. Perfect spot for a date or casual girls night out for a crowd of 2-4. The pricing on everything is very fair and worth the price. The best bang for your buck in terms of portion and options is the hand rolls they serve here. Absolutely chefs kiss these were well portioned and super yummy! Would return here just for another spicy tuna hand-roll it was delicious we also tried the Negi-toro Hand-roll which I highly recommended the soft texture was AMAZING! We also had the chicken karaage which was perfectly cooked and season with a light crispy crunch texture. Perfect as an appetizer or for anyone just not into sushi. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

I'll be the first to say that the BF and I are definitely sushi foodies, but we really appreciate checking out new places and this restaurant has only been open for maybe two months. For a random Tuesday night, the place was almost entirely empty and service was definitely on point. Anecdotally I'll say the temperature on the thermostat is set to at least 5° below where it should probably be, so maybe take a sweater? The value for the price of the Nigiri set menu is definitely on point, fish quality taste wise I would compare this to Hush in Keller. Worth a try for sure! read more

Kichi Bar Japanese Restaurant - 5 piece nigiri from the set menu with truffle shavings added - Japanese Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

This was from a visit in August of 2025, so it was very on for this restaurant, and I'm assuming it's due to growing pains. There was a server mixup I think, or some sort of ordering mistake for us, where we ended up waiting for about 2 hours for most of the meal. It seems the front and back of the kitchen needs better communication. That said, after learning of this, the staff compensated us with our wait by apologizing professionally and offering a discount on the total bill. Now for the quality- the food was really good, and the presentation was beautiful. Even the scallop handroll (which I personally don't like scallop usually) was so juicy and fresh! Salmon and yellowtail taste was exceptional as well. I could really see this scaling in this area if they can iron out some of the kinks in food preparation pipelines. I will update my review with 5 stars if the next visit is as good- but at least the staff handled our situation professionally and the food (albeit late) was excellent. read more

It was a little confusing to find this place because it's located in the same building as other restaurants. Do not be deceived. The inside is so cute and has a nice aesthetic (very different from the outside). All the oysters, nigiri, and hand rolls I had were pretty good. I didn't really like the tempura because it was a bit soggy. The staff is really nice and helpful with the menu. They're still newly opened, so I would definitely give it another try. read more

the interior was really aesthetic and cozy. the service was amazing, our server, tommy, was really attentive and friendly. we got the fried tofu: not that good tbh (5/10) chu-toro sashimi: easily the best thing we got there, so yummy and the wasabi paired really well with it. (10/10) soft shell crab maki: was decent, the sauce stood out to me (7/10) kampachi: so so good (9/10) salmon sashimi: pretty fresh, just missing something i thing but it's a good basic (7/10) uni pasta: really creamy and yummy, lowkey uni flavor isn't that strong but that's fine for me (9/10) seam bream: the fish and fruit flavors paired well together (9/10) overall we would come again for special occasions. read more

amazing service by River, our waitress and the food was superb. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated. Highly recommend!

I went during their grand opening and the food didn't disappoint. The 5 nigiri (one A5 Wagyu), spicy tuna roll and miso soup for 29 dollars is a great value. The staff was very responsive asking about how the menu and food were. The seating area looked extremely new with great bar seating. Highly recommended! read more

Kichi is a hidden gem for sushi lovers. Four of us went for my birthday and Kichi did not disappoint. Service was outstanding and the food matched. We tried the uni pasta based on yelp recommendations and it is, in fact, a delectable dish. Pasta is perfectly al dente and the sauce is to die for. The sushi is super fresh and I tried amber jack for the first time. It's like a next level yellowtail. It was so good. The ube ice cream was good but the banana ice cream stole the show at our table. Tastes like banana bread in the most delicious way. The outside of the restaurant leaves much to be desired but the inside is very polished and welcoming. I have a new favorite sushi spot. Can't wait to go back and sample more of their menu. read more

Founded by Chef Ethan Kim, Kichi Bar has beautiful, clean, modern interior perfect for date night or celebrations. They have private dining area that's nicely intimate as well. It's upscale food and vibe with relatively affordable price. We opted for Kichi signature tasting for 2 for $85 which comes with 6 courses (appetizers, cold dish, warm dish, nigiris, handroll, dessert), and we ordered uni pasta in addition. They currently have grand opening set menu available as well that's also a great deal! The courses and set menu + one additional item makes a perfectly sized meal in my opinion. Kampachi (8.5/10) Plum Leche de Tigre, yuzu foam. This was such a refreshing and well balanced dish perfect for the summer. loved all the little details in crafting this. Kara-Age (8/10) The chicken was good and crispy, and that shishito aioli was excellent. KichiBar does such an excellent job in creating unique sauces. Kinki Nigiri (9/10) This was on the house! One of the best sushi I had recently! It was incredible how fresh and not-fishy it was and the texture was similar to a dry aged fish. They dress up their sushi so you don't need soy sauce. Rice is a tiny bit al dante than I would like. Wagyu Beef (7.5/10) Potato pave, cilantro puree, herb butter. The beef was chewy for a Wagyu, but everything else that came with it was great. That potato pave is the best I have had. Perfectly crispy in layers. Uni Pasta (8.5/10) Shiso pesto, Uni cream foam, shiso oil. This was my first time having a proper Uni pasta and it did not disappoint. The pasta had a texture of fresh pasta, and it lusciously tastes like Uni. It is suuuuper rich, but that shiso pesto helps to balance it. Banana Ice Cream (10/10) Hands down the best banana ice cream ever!! No artificial color and tastes literallly like they took a banana and turned it in to an icecream in the most simple and natural way as possible. Must order. Ube Icecream (8.5/10) Solid Ube I cream and not too sweet! read more

The location is clean, we love that the barstools have backs, the greeter was so kind to check that the booth we were going to be seated in had a bit more of a draft than other parts of the dining area. Mark was a phenomenal server, knowledgeable, kind/respectful, and prompt. 10/10 For the food- there was not a single item we did not enjoy, all hand rolls and Maki ordered were great quality. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything we had was recommended by the waiter and nothing was a miss. Even the chicken kaarage was a standout...the best one I've had in my life. The flavors were balanced and were amazing combinations. The service was excellent and we were taken care of very well. The vibe is quiet and easy to talk in...great date spot.

Went here with my girlfriend and loved it. This was a Wed at just after open, so it wasnt busy, but the service was excellent. Not overly in your face (which can happen without many other patrons) and just overall good service. normally, my girlfriend actually doesnt love sushi (I do) so we like to find places that offer enough choices of the non-fish options to keep her happy. For this purpose, I like the menu here - we had the brussels sprouts appetizer, which was great. Think of this as more like flash fried brussels sprouts chips (almost). Light, good flavor. sushi-wise - I had the O-toro nigiri (amazing), the wagyu nigiri (also amazing), and the softshell handroll, which were wonderful. Of course, the high end cuts you expect to be good, but they did a great job of seasoning on these (just a light touch of salt/etc). The softshell crab was just rich enough. My favorite part was probably the uni pasta. I put a picture - the pasta itself was perfect aldente and the flavor just had a great richness to it. I dont always love uni and this was more my girlfriend's dish, but ended up maybe being my favorite. They have other non-sushi options I would try. This is a good mix-up vs. a standard sushi place. read more
