    Salmon Carpaccio
    Val N.

    Ate here twice in the same month because it's just that good! My favorite rolls were the Kawa Roll and Kyoto roll. The Kyoto roll had a chili garlic dressing that I loved. If you like sashimi, definitely check out the Premium Mystery Box. The O-toro (fatty tuna belly) was so buttery and stood out the most. I would order that alone next time. The service was great and everyone at our table was given chawanmushi even though the premium mystery box is only supposed to provide one. The interior is romantic and cozy. The restaurant is located inside a shopping center and is at the end of the hallway.

    I love me a good sushi spot when it wasn't planned and this one was one of those places. Came here with the family and ordered a bento box combo with a baked sushi roll. Both were SUPER GOOD and will put you in a food coma. Service was great, drinks were refilled and environment is what you would expect going to get sushi. If you are near by, def check this place out. *chef kisses*

    Homely and cozy Japanese restaurant tucked inside of the Arden Park shopping center. We shared a bento box and Okinawa roll that were well presented. The bento box came with nice miso soup in the side. The box had Spring mix with sesame dressing, salmon with sauce, katsu, and white rice. The sushi roll was refreshing with a mix of raw fish and a side of pickled cucumber, ginger, and wasabi. No need for soy sauce yet it was a side! Somewhat bougie with an at-home feeling, like we were visiting a home. This was a nice experience in a Thursday

    Craved sushi and wanted to try a different place. Settled on Sushi Kawa and I'm glad I did. The decorations prior to entering the restaurant was a nice touch As I was awaiting for my friend to arrive, the waitress immediately asked if I needed anything she was attentive throughout the evening. Thank you! My friend arrived...we ordered 2 Sakura rolls, Kawa roll, Kokkaido roll, geso karaage (squid) n miso soup...all were very good and fresh. A nice casual place...I'll definitely be back.

    Had such a great experience here! The atmosphere was relaxing and quiet, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a meal. The service was incredibly fast without feeling rushed, and the fish was fresh and delicious. You can really tell they prioritize quality. They also surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch, and it was amazing! Overall, a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    First time at Sushi Kawa's new Arden Town location and wow ~ if you remember the previous restaurants in this space, you'll be shocked at how different it looks. The big, beautiful bar is gone and the whole place feels completely transformed. The menu is simple, which I actually appreciated. The fish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything tasted clean and high quality. Service was friendly and welcoming without being over the top. Really hoping they make it in this neighborhood spot ~ it's a great addition to the area. We'll definitely be back.

    Sushi Kawa is a fairly new restaurant serving delicious Japanese food. It's a nice atmosphere, and it's cutely decorated right now for Valentine's! I had the following on my most recent visit: Bento Box (with Pork Katsu & Beef Short Rib), Chawanmushi, and the Kawa Roll. I have previously tried the following: Agedashi Tofu, Spicy Garlic Edamame, Premium Sashimi Box, the Sakura Roll, and Red Bean Panna Cotta. I personally thought the bento box was fine, but I've had better. My favorite items have been the rolls (Kawa & Sakura) and the Sashimi Box. The panna cotta is great for dessert, especially if you don't like overly sweet things. Service is very friendly and so sweet. Definitely add Sushi Kawa to your next place to try!

    It was my first time going to Sushi Kawa and it was amazing! 10/10 from the cleanliness, great ambiance and decor, and super friendly staff. Our waitress had given us good recommendations and advice with ordering as well! 1000/10 recommend checking it out if you are in the area. My friends and I ordered the agadashi tofu and spicy edamame to start. Both were seasoned perfectly and served extremely warm as it was made fresh. Two of my friends ordered the sashimi and they only had good things to say. Not to mention the plating is gorgeous. Our table also ordered the Sakura roll, shrimp tempura roll, the ninja roll, Hokkaido roll, and the tokoyo roll with lemon slices. Everything was well balanced, had super fresh flavors and great quality. My personal recommendation to anyone has to be the agadashi tofu, edamame, the tokoyo roll (with added lemon slices) and the Hokkaido roll. I definitely will be back over and over again.

    Bento box

    In order a bento box with short ribs and chicken wings it came with rice, salad with sesame dressing and miso soup. The price for the bento box was $22 which is pretty standard for any Japanese restaurant. I ordered my food to go since it was taking it for work. The customer service was great and the lady that helped me was so welcoming. The interior is very nice there is plenty of space for dinning or even dinner parties with friends and family. Everything in my bento box was delicious and flavorful, however my rice wasn't cooked all the way so it was unpleasant eating parts of the rice that was undercooked with rice that was perfectly cooked.

    My daughter and I are always looking for new sushi places to try and found Sushi Kawa. It was about an hour and a half before closing so it wasn't too busy. Hidden in a shopping center so you'll have to walk through the main shopping center and it's inside the building. Very clean and loved the decor with the fish tank at the sushi bar. We ordered salmon belly, Kyoto and Hokkaido roll and one other dish that I'm drawing a blank to but it was plenty for the two of us. We devoured each sushi and it was amazing to taste the freshness and grade of the fish. I liked how it was drenched with some creamy sauce, made perfectly and you can taste all the ingredients in each roll. The fish was buttery and sweet- so good! For the both of us we wrapped up with about $100 but it was very good!

    My friend wanted to try this new place out and we met her here. We all like Japanese food. Came here early Sunday night. We usually eat early dinners, 5ish. This way we don't have to deal with waiting for a table or crowds. Plus, it gives me time to digest my food before bed. We order Hamachi Kama and pepper fin to start out with. The Hamachi Kama was pretty good, but the pepper fin was bland. The fish itself was tasteless. The other things we ordered were pretty good. The Kawa roll, one piece, in one bite, the flavors blended well together. The Kawa Sashimi plating was nice. They told us what each individual fish was. Everything was very fresh and tasted good. The Chawanmushi was delightful. It was warm, light, fresh, and had a lot of flavors. I really enjoyed it. Overall, I would come again to try some other things on the menu. The staff was nice and helpful. The food was pretty good.

    Newish sushi restaurant in Arden Town Shopping Center, next to Mas Taco Bar. Plenty of parking. Minimal decor. Pepperfin tuna (appetizer) has no taste at all, except if you eat the jalapeno peppers with siracha. Disappointing! The Hamachi Kama was good with a nice portion. We were going to order 12 pcs Sashimi but the waitress recommended that we order Kawa Premium Box instead ($60). The presentation is pretty with about 18 pieces of higher quality fish. It also comes with steamed egg soup, which was very good. I'm glad we order this and would come back for this. Kawa Roll (Snow Crab, Asparagus, Tempura, Eel, Avo and Lobster salad) was very good. The Crispy leeks elevated the roll. I like that they didn't drench the sauce and you can taste the ingredients. Attentive service! I appreciate that she didn't hover after we had paid the bill because we just wanted to chat for a little longer.

    My wife and I came with another Elite. We saw a review from another Elite and wanted to check this place out I made reservations for a Sunday. The place is located in a small strip mall. There is a parking lot and I was able to get a spot close by. There was no one in the restaurant so no need for a reservation. It looked like I had booked the entire place for our dinner until a couple came in half an hour later. It was nice. The staff were really friendly. The chef greeted us as we came in. The menu was nothing special. Standard Japanese sushi . We started with the pepperfin. It was spicy but when I ate the tuna it had no taste. Plain. Next we got the hamachi kama which was pretty good and it had a lot of meat on it. The Kawa sashimi was a sight to see. I think it was around 18 pieces . The sushi was really fresh and tasted great. So many different fish My wife ordered a roll for us . She got the Kawa roll. It was a nice flavor and we liked it a lot. At the end of our meal they brought out an egg pudding with mushrooms, like a soup. I loved it. We had a great time here and would come back to try more.

The prices, though are a little bit higher than I expected . For instance, there was an heirloom tomato salad on the menu for $24. I would think (actually I would hope) that it would feed a few people for that price? I wanted to get a glass of wine but ended up getting a half glass for $8. Once you throw in tax and tip, you're looking at over $10 for a half glass of wine. Walking out, I was talking to one of the neighbors here and asked if he had been. He said that it seemed a bit pricey for him and that he'd rather have a glass at home. I did see the table next to us order a carrot dish that looked quite interesting. I think this place would be great for a date night rather than a casual night out for instance or if you're just tired of sitting at home solo drinking lol.
