Unfortunately I can't recommend this place. Upon walking into an empty restaurant at 8:20pm on a…read moreMonday nightI had this sense of dread immediately. It was dark and dingy. I've had my fair share of cheapy sushi joints and the dinginess meant that it was either going to be awful or if I'm really lucky, a hole in the wall hidden gem! Only one way to find out. We sat down and noticed the pricing was quite high. Okay, the BOGO 50% off advertised makes sense now. (I personally hate this sales tactic just price your menu accordingly. Don't make me do math.) That brings the pricing down a bit and is a little more reasonable. The sushi came out relatively quick. I thought the standard rolls were too small. Instead of the 6 pieces there were only 5. And they cut it super thin too. Definitely stretching something here. The salmon was just okay, didn't have that bright fresh taste but in the back of my mind the whole time I'm thinking "you get what you pay for". In summary, the quality of the sushi is exactly what you're paying for with the BOGO 50 tactic.

If you are looking for a restaurant that can flawlessly handle a large group reservation, Kin Sushi…read moreabsolutely exceeded expectations. I initially reached out about reserving a table for 40+ people during a basketball tournament weekend and was told the manager would contact me back. Sure enough, she called promptly to confirm everything for our Saturday dinner reservation. The entire process was seamless and incredibly easy, especially considering this was a larger-than-normal party. Taizy handled everything professionally. She seamlessly added the extra guests without hesitation. Her only request was that we send over everyone's food orders ahead of time so the kitchen could prepare and ensure nobody had to wait too long. And wow -- they absolutely delivered. Every single order came out accurately and in a very timely fashion. No mistakes, no confusion, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. The servers were organized, attentive, and handled a very large group with ease. Service was truly 10/10. One of the reasons I chose Kin Sushi for a large group dinner was because the menu truly has something for everyone -- udon, sushi rolls, vegetarian rolls, bento boxes, chirashi, sashimi, and something for everyone. They even had Thai iced tea, which isn't normally something in you have in a Japanese restaurant. Parking was very easy, which is always appreciated when coordinating a large party, and there's a restroom conveniently located in the back. I'm beyond grateful for how well they handled our group, and I would absolutely return here again for future team dinners or large gatherings. Highly recommend!

We have become weekend regulars for lunch and often arrive at opening so we get the quiet before…read morethe lunch rush. It's honestly something I look forward to every weekend. Crazy to say that it's been a hallmark establishment in our rotation for probably the past year or more. More so these days since husband has been optimizing his meals for protein to help his workouts. iykyk. His go-to order consists of chicken teriyaki & sashimi combo and sashimi combo. He's consistent to the point that Luke, the owner, asks whether his order will be the same today, haha. The benefit with double sashimi is that it's pure protein with low calories, so for him it's great because he can reserve some calories for a cheat meal or snack later in the day. For me, I'm not counting macros, so I like to bounce around the menu depending on what I'm in the mood for. I usually go back and forth between hand or cut rolls and the poke salad, but sometimes I get a little adventurous and get my own sashimi. However, the benefit of my husband's meal is that I get to eat his albacore sashimi because he's not a fan, so I usually opt for something else when I'm getting my own thing. Overall, my repeat favorites have been the poke salad, spider roll, salmon lemon roll and anything with yellowtail. My typical go to is anything with salmon sashimi, but Koko's yellowtail is so buttery that I'm a new fan of anything with it. Even as regulars, I still look forward to having a meal here. Plus, the price is unbeatable for their combo meals and it's very reasonable. The combination meals come with salad, miso soup and rice so it satisfies and fills the tummy.

Very clean inside with table and bar seating. My favorite was the spicy miso yellowtail roll for sure. Aloha roll was good, but I'd go with a baked salmon roll next time I want a warm roll.

No reservations needed unless you have a large party. I've been here twice and both times there were plenty of seats. Even with limited customers, service was extremely slow.

It was a Friday night and surprisingly we were sat pretty quick. Started with edamame and they were very good and presented nicely. The California roll wasn't anything to write home about but they were large. The crunch roll was one of my favorite I have ever had but a tad on the sweet side. I liked that it wasn't too crunchy like some rolls are. It is surgical in its layers of crunch. Another roll I liked was the dragon roll. The rolls are on the larger side which is good but they match the price. The Tonkotsu ramen was pretty bland so I recommend adding some spice or sauce to spruce up the broth but the ingredients were all tasty. Overall it's a decent place to get sushi. Service was excellent and quick and they always checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Worth checking out if you are close by but I was neither super impressed nor upset we ate there either.

Discovered this gem on Postmates and I'm so glad I took a leap of faith! It's definitely risen to…read morethe top sushi spot for me in my area. I generally get simple nigiri and fresh sushi rolls. I tried the Only You and Crunch Mania Roll alongside some fresh sushi like the Ama Ebi, Uni, Salmon belly, and Hotate sushi. WOW wow wow. Each and every piece was divine. And I tried to savor every bite. I love when restaurants give you the Ama Ebi fried head, this place takes the cake for me. Wasn't too greasy at all! I thought presentation for delivery wasn't too bad and the size of the cut for the rolls weren't messy and uneven. All in all, I'll be happy to explore more on the menu but at least I know from what I ordered, this place has got it down.

Came in yesterday and was offered a seat around 9PM. At 10PM, after they had closed, we were still…read morewaiting for food! Why seat customers if you are going to ignore them? At first the chefs were not even in the bar area. When they finally arrived they were more interested in online orders instead of preparing food for customers who are right infront of them. (I see other reviewers have also experienced the same) We were not happy, when discussing whether to leave instead of continue to wait, the owner kept looking at us and never once came over to see how to mediate the situation. We finally flagged the server and told them to cancel everything. The owner said "Oh no, they are leaving?" Very rude, of course we left we had been seated an hour and did not receive any food! We could see the chef area they didn't even START making our food. I can understand it was late, but if you do not have the hands on deck do not offer a seat to customers looking to dine in. I am not sure why I am surprised, years ago I tried to eat here and had a terrible experience. About 4 years ago I walked in to get a table for one and the female owner kept looking at me and walking away. I was waiting probably 20 minutes at the front desk, and gave up since no one acknowledged me (other than uncomfortable glares from the owner.) Terrible service. Stay away, much better sushi in the city, not sure why we decided to go here, but will not make that mistake again.

A little disappointed. I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews, especially for Japanese…read morerestaurants, but I feel like they have potential to do better -- which is why I wanted to leave an honest review. FYI -- no photos because we were busy with a cranky toddler. First, the service was genuinely great. The sweetest lady helped us with the menu and served our food, and we really appreciated her kindness. We were also given complimentary edamame, which was thoughtful, although it was bland, dry, and cold -- almost like it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. Since it was complimentary, we didn't think too much of it. For the mains, we ordered the beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki bento specials. Unfortunately, both proteins were sliced extremely thin. The chicken especially had a jerky-like texture, and both the chicken and beef lacked flavor. After reading other reviews, they had similar experience. The teriyaki sauce itself was also pretty bland. The tempura was okay, but the tempura dipping sauce tasted watered down and lacked the usual savory depth you'd expect. The one standout was the roll topped with salmon and avocado with spicy tuna inside. It was presented beautifully and tasted fresh and well-balanced. Based on this, I honestly think rolls are what they do best. I really hope they improve the preparation and seasoning of the chicken and beef because it was a major turnoff -- and this is coming from someone who eats pretty much everything. It's hard to justify paying around $22 for a bento when the main protein feels flavorless and insubstantial. With so many good Japanese resto in Lake Forest, I would skip this until the proteins are fixed.

Everything came out fresh and flavorful. For our main dishes, my son and I decided to try the ramen, and unfortunately that part was a little disappointing.

This ramen felt a little plain and lacked the richness I was expecting. Overall, the sushi and appetizers were really good, but I'd probably stick to those next time instead of the ramen.
