The service was wonderful, everyone was nice and I got a warm welcome! The food was delicious, I was craving sushi and it was my first time here and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend and they are open on Mondays unlike others in the area. read more

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Family owned. Great sushi! Try the Tuna Tower! Outstanding.

Ordered a few rolls and a bento box. Everything was good. The fried rice was okay. Service was nice but she forgot some things we asked for so we had to remind her. But overall it's a decent place. The rice to filling ratio is good. read more

Kitani Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

This has been our go-to sushi restaurant for years! Family owned and they go out of their way to get to know you. Yes, they may be slow, but it is because it's only the family working. We factor that into our visits and take-out orders. Their menu doesn't change, it's mostly local's that frequent the place, and it's always high-quality sushi! If you go to the restaurant to eat-in, pack your patience and have another glass of wine. The food won't disappoint. read more

The food is phenomenal, it's a great date night spot with some of the best sushi in Forsyth in my opinion, it's a small family owned restaurant open most nights. I personally recommend getting the tuna tower, it will change your life read more

So I have come here ocassiinally with my family for Years. Food has been good, service friendly, slow but friendly. The last 2 visits have been the final straw on rudeness. We always come place our order, eat, say thanks and leave, nothing extra. This time she went out of her way to make us unwelcome. Helped all the othe tables but us. I told her staff today was horrible and we wont come back. His answer was ' That's fine no problem. Not nice at all. read more

We enjoyed a dinner sitting at the bar. Loved watching the sushi chef almost as much as I loved the miso soup! The miso soup was a 5 out of 5 for me. Yum with generous amount of tofu. We are plant based so ordering sushi rolls was confusing because none were on the menu and our server was swamped. We made it easy on her and order a cucumber avocado roll and a sweet potato roll. My husband loved the cucumber avo roll and I preferred the sweet potato so it was a match made in heaven. We will be back but hope someday they add some clearly marked plantbased options on the menu and I will add a star! Love that this is a family restaurant too! read more

I have been going here to Mr. Lee's for over 20 years. I travel all over the US going to some of the finest sushi bars and Kitani, by far, is my favorite. Anyone who would give this place a negative review, does not have good taste! read more

Reasons for 2 stars: No online menu anywhere. When you go in and ask for a to go menu, non available. Does this stop this place from being busy? Nope! Is it busy? Yup!!!!!! To go orders usually take a minimum of 1 to 1.5 hour during peak eating times. Rolls are nothing over the top - not in size or flavor. Across from Kroger. Few doors away from Thai Basil Kitchen. Good for locals. read more

Annual anniversary dinner did not disappoint. So fresh and delicious. Every year we have the chef choose for us and it's always so delicious. Great way to celebrate 47 years together. read more

Love Kitani! Fresh and delicious sushi as well as the crispiest ginger salad I've ever had. All items are equally as tasty. Wonderful family owned and run small restaurant. Great spot to spend time with family and friends. They might be a little slow but they never rush you either. Have been going for over 10 years and it continues to be a favorite! read more

This is the chirashi bowl and I get it every time! I know you may say why? Well it's actually different every time! My wife and I love the fact that they give us this time to decompress and to actually talk with each other, what? Yeah, it's like that. If you're in a rush go next door to Black Diamond . The food here is excellent and the family is absolutely the salt of the earth. So if you are looking for a relaxing night out to talk with your loved ones this is the place, you'll also absolutely fall in love with the family and food ! read more

New favorite sushi place! Fantastic sushi. Very fresh! I had read a review previously so I had an idea. It's a small local sushi bar with a few tables so they only have 2 servers so don't be in a big hurry when you go. You definitely get the neighborhood feel. Very friendly & excellent service. read more

Food was alright but the service was horrible. U walk in and no one greets you. Sit down and u have to get up to ask for a menu. The lady came to our table once so we ordered food and it took forever. We were by the door and watched and more people would come in and the same thing happened. There was a couple sitting there for 25 minutes and didn't even have menus another couple came in and left another couple came and had to get up after 15 to ask for menus and a waiter. They weren't even busy so what the heck is so hard about greeting the guests and getting them a menu. They need to get rid of that woman waitress. She was older and she's the only one working. She was very clueless. I am bummed we trusted the reviews and went so I had to warn people don't come if u want good service. The food was not amazing enough so deal with the staff. read more

Great local place - food is consistently fresh - not super fancy just solid - service can be a little slow but don't let that detour you

Amazing experience. Sat at the bar for dinner & watched the chef prepare each dish by hand. Food & service were both top notch. Regulars engaged us & shared their favorites. Spicy Dragon sushi roll came highly recommended & did not disappoint. We will become regulars-no doubt! Such a hidden gem! Thank you to the family that has created such a welcoming feeling in their restaurant. We look forward to next time! read more

I wish I could give this place more stars. My wife and kids are super picky eaters. They're also vegetarians but I'm not so it's always a challenge to find a place we all like. I was sure nobody would agree to go to sushi. We did and we never looked back. This is our go to place every week for a nice sit down meal. The family that runs this place is incredible! They're the nicest people and they will remember almost every single persons name that walks through the door. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

This is the first time I have come to this restaurant and loved it right away. I haven't had that much sushi at all because it's so expensive. If you are in the mood for good sushi that isnt that expensive this is the place to go. I got a whole chicken teriyaki bento box for $10. It doesn't look like much when you get it but it will fill you up. I didn't want the tempura so they substituted it with more sushi rolls and I loved that. It is so quaint and very family friendly. The service is awesome as well. I will definitely be coming back. Thanks for the great service and food. read more

Kitani Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

What can I say, one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever eaten at and I'm a huge sushi fan and critic. Get there early because they can get busy! One of my favorite places to eat! Their fish is fresh and well prepared and pricing is quite reasonable. They also offer takeout. Just placed an order for them tonight. Enjoy! read more

We absolutely love Kitani. We eat here almost weekly. It's the most flavorful and freshest sushi around. Kitani is a small family run business that never disappoints! The Lie family is so friendly and kind, too. Our favorites are the ahi poke, tekka don bowl, the rock and roll and the spicy tuna roll. We can't say enough good things about Kitani! read more

Kitani sushi has been my favorite sushi spot for 10 years now. Ask for the Alexis roll if you're a spicy tuna lover and thank me later

Came to this location due to the convenience of how close it is to the house, and our favorite sushi place wasn't open (too bad our one year anniversary didn't fall on a Tuesday). Walked in, and very mellow atmosphere with the TVs on and country music in the background (as I found, later, they played a variety of music but not really relevant to the dining). We were greeted by a lady who was very friendly, as well as the Sushi Chef. The service was above average for sure. I started off with the Miso Soup and my honey had a ginger salad. I've found I can judge a good sushi place based off their Miso soup and this place had very good Miso soup with generous helpings of tofu. I'd give the soup a 4 out of 5 alone. My honey liked the salad and it was also a bigger size. I ordered a hot sake, which they brought a napkin with to pour it (brownie points for not burning my fingers), and it was pretty good with a decent amount of pours. The house Chardonnay my honey ordered wasn't so great, but a decent pour. The rolls were not bad at all for the price. We had the double tuna, spicy dynamites and lava volcano roll (which the sushi chef added fresh jalapeños too and kicked it up to how I like my rolls, spicy!). The wasabi wasn't potent which disappointed me but the rolls were good and sushi did taste fairly fresh. I didn't really have a favorite roll though, and the one I liked was mainly bc of the fresh jalapeños. I will say, the service/price/location/soup will bring us back again and I'd recommend for those that love close by who want a decent sushi place that won't cost an arm and leg. read more

FOOD: Good-ok sushi, fresh COST (out of 4$): $$$ SERVICE: Good Friendly and polite service, Not very fast though DECOR: homey japanese feel, clean and minimalistic RECOMMEND: Yes would recommend and maybe will come back if i'm hungry and in the area. My issue is I did think the sushi was a little overpriced when I can get fresh sushi at cheaper locations. OUR DINNER: had the chicken teriyaki fried rice (good), california roll (ok), shrimp tempura roll (good), spider roll (ok), spicy tuna roll (ok), dragon roll (ok), eel roll (ok) read more

Tried the basic sushi rolls such as shrimp tempura roll and spider roll. Both are good. Service is a bit slow but I wasn't too concerned. There was only one server on the floor. We went during peak dinner time and as the craziness winded down, service speed picked up. Both of my children enjoyed the salmon teriyaki bento box and the miso soup. Price is good. 3 sushi rolls and a bento box for $31 excluding tips. Would come back again for sure. read more

A wonderful neighborhood spot for really good sushi. Fresh and delicious. While the service may not be the swiftest, the servers know your name, your kids names and what you want to order. Prices are reasonable and to go is always done right. Support your neighborhood sushi bar! read more

Love this place! Sweet owners and sushi is always 100%. Been coming here for years. We love Kitani Sushi. The Smiths

I called to order for pickup and my experience was very smooth. The wait was not too long and the employees were nice, and I arrived a little early and got to watch the chef make my sushi. The food was very good and at a reasonable price, and while I didn't eat at the restaurant, the vibes were immaculate. read more

People talk about standing room only at lunch, but the place was practically empty at noon. Service was fine. Rolls were ok. Nothing special. This seems to be a neighborhood hangout as the locals seem to know each other. Unfortunately, had to listen to a woman -mature enough to know better-play a video on her phone at top volume. And then proceed to walk around to get her pickup order talking at the top register as if she thought everyone was interested in what she had to say. We'll not likely make it back when in town. read more

Great service, Lee was incredible... I came in around closing time after my wife gave birth to have a good quick meal, and they were about wrapped up for the night. I asked if I was an inconvenience and Lee invited me to sit down. After a great conversation and even better food I left with a full stomach and a smile on my face. Overall, great place to go get a bite to eat and relax after a long day, incredibly friendly staff and Lee was just a pleasure to speak to. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo, excellent quality food, finely executed and I enjoyed the company. One recommendation to future customers, try to get in before closing time to make it easier on these guys! read more

Kitani Sushi - Sushi & Sashimi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

Wow, just wow! Haven't really searched for a sushi spot in the area, but hubby was in a sushi state of mind when we were done shopping, so I turned to Yelp. It's a cozy little bar with some of the freshest sushi we've had. We were amazed that this place was standing room only on a Monday night, so that alone should tell you something. We loved the at home vibe we felt upon entering this establishment. 5 Thumbs up for me! Food Items Tried and all were excellent: Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Dynamite Roll, and the Spider Roll Tip: It's located at the corner of Peachtree Pkwy & Sharon Rd in the same plaza as Dollar Tree & Diamond Grill. read more

Worst service. Waited for take out forever and staff was like you can cancel the order

We love this sushi bar. It is based nearby - just in 10 min drive from us - and is probably the best local option. Sushi were always fresh; service is friendly and honest. Fair pricing. Good family business, dedicated to support the clients and worth appreciation! read more

My family and I stopped in during late dinner time, and the place was pretty full. I was greeted by the waitress with "just one minute" before she walked away. I stood at the doorway for 10 minutes, and I was again greeted with "just one minute" afterwards. I stood there for another 15 minutes before deciding to leave. Will not be back when this place is even slightly busy. read more
