    Kimchi fried rice and egg special
    Tony V.

    Brought a couple friends here and had a good time. Waitress was very attentive and made us feel welcome. We ordered the kamikaze and crab mania rolls, Kimchi and seafood pancakes, takoyaki, Kimchi fried rice and yeuk-gae jang. The pancakes were good ~ but neither Kimchi nor seafood flavors were really experiences. Both tasted very similar. The takoyaki was delicious but perhaps a little too much sauce as it is pretty strong. Kimchi fried rice is as expected ~ nicely cooked egg on top with a good Kimchi fried rice base. They also added bacon into it which really changes up the flavor. Yeuk gae jang was packed full of flavor. Very good to eat with rice and a drink as the spice level kicks in after eating a couple bites.

    (1) House Special Roll and (2) Volcano Roll
    Marvin J.

    I was excited to take a friend here because she had never tried sushi. With that in mind I knew exactly what to have her try. We got the house special roll and the volcano roll. She loved them both. I loved them both too . It's so much fun to see someone try something for the first time and light up from enjoyment. The house special roll is basically a fancy California roll and a good one to try if you've never had sushi. It has cooked shrimp and crab. The volcano roll comes with heaps of spicy crab on top of the roll and is a bit more dramatic looking. I think next time I mention sushi she won't give me a look of horror, that is, until I introduce sashimi.

    Unagi Don

    Ordered delivery via UberEats, getting the Unagi (eel) with sushi rice, beef teriyaki bento box, and several sides including shrimp shumai, takoyaki, seaweed salad. The unagi entree came with a side salad and additional sides of crab, tamago. The bento box included tempura, sashimi, California roll, and takoyaki. The food was overall very good in flavor, but arrived somewhat cold. I personally appreciated the ratio of eel to rice, and the sushi rice was better with the eel that regular white rice I've had at other restaurants. Total price was $64, but this was after using the 30% off coupon with UberEats.

    This was our second visit to Sushi Kuni and we had an enjoyable meal. The atmosphere is quiet and the service is friendly and attentive. We started with the miso soup which was very flavorful but there wasn't much tofu and seaweed in the soup itself. We still enjoyed it though because the broth was great. We ordered four rolls and they arrived pretty quickly. We had the Old Smokey, Calamari Tempura, Black Dragon, and Kamikaze rolls. Our favorites were the Black Dragon and Kamikaze and they were quickly gone. The Old Smokey was fresh and flavorful as well. The Calamari Tempura Roll was our least favorite because of how chewy the calamari itself was. This roll is the only reason I took away a star. Overall, this is a great option for the area it's in. Parking is easy, service is great, and the food is tasty.

    Went yesterday with the family for Alyssa's birthday, all 5 of us LOVED every bit of this place. The music in the background was a chill vibe with fantastic customer service. We started with fresh seaweed salad and miso soup, followed but a variety of dishes. Lyss and I split our huge sushi boat (we ordered 6 I think) and the other meals included the chicken katsu, and 2 different rice bowls, all made to perfection. We will be back, OFTEN.

    Moonlight and Crazy Boy rolls
    Sandi W.

    My husband and I are fairly new to sushi. Recently our daughter in-law got an assortment of rolls to go......she then shared with us so that we could see if we liked it. Not wanting to try anything that had raw fish I tried the spicy California roll and both my husband and I tried the Moonlight roll. My husband wouldn't try the California roll because *gasp* it has avocado in it. I liked both rolls, but I REALLY liked the Moonlight roll because it was deep fried and a little crispy. My husband liked the Moonlight roll too. I liked the Moonlight roll so much that I got my own roll a few nights later, and it was just like the first time I tried it. About a week later I talked my husband into getting take out yet again (I'm afraid this might be our new go to) and we decided to try another roll that was also deep fried, Crazy Boy Tempura Roll, along with our new favorite the Moonlight roll. Sadly, these rolls were not as good as our first couple of tries. They were not crispy and golden like the first couple of times we ordered. I called the restaurant to question whether they were even deep fried and I discovered that their usual process is to lightly deep fry them but if noted they WILL deep fry them long enough to get them golden and crispy. I have no idea why the first two that we got were to our liking when we didn't even ask for them to be well done, but now that it has been explained to us we will definitely be requesting that any deep fried rolls we order in the future be fried a bit longer. The gal that I spoke to offered me replacement rolls for the confusion and I will be getting those when we place our next order, along with some other items we would like to try. The fact that they offered replacement rolls, when it was really not their fault that I didn't know their process, has made me a definite return customer. Had I not called and found out the process (remember, I am a sushi virgin) I might not have ordered again as I really didn't care for the gummy texture of the lightly fried rolls. I am happy to report that my husband, a confirmed avocado hater, tried the Crazy Boy even though it had avocado and decided it wasn't too bad, however he DID prefer the Moonlight roll. I took a picture of the rolls for this review, and that came in handy when the gal at the restaurant asked to see what they looked like. I have attached the picture to this review. Take a look at it. Do you see that green stuff? My husband decided that it must be avocado because of the Crazy Boy (he must have thought it was like the guacamole you find on the side with Mexican food). I didn't know what to think, but I tried it anyway. I couldn't spit it out fast enough. It was wasabi! And it was hot. Don't make the same mistake. I have no idea what the white ribbons of something were and I was not going to try them after the instance with the wasabi. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.........I'm not sure if I am glad or sad that it is not super close to our home.

    I was really hoping to have another sushi spot in Grand Rapids to love. Sadly Sushi Kuni is not it. The server was lovely. Unfortunately she took my dime in order, and also my to-go order, and both times the order was wrong. Also, I don't want avocado that looks (and tastes) like it has been sitting out on some counter for a week. Come on people! It looked like it needed a coffin. Pretty sure it's not supposed to be HARD to bite into. If the avocado is that old, it really made me wonder about the fish. I think I will be staying away.

    This used to be my favorite sushi place when I first moved to Grand Rapids, but there are so many places that have much better quality sushi. I do like that Sushi Kuni has several Korean dishes beyond the typical bibimbap. The spicy tofu soup is one of my favorites. The quality of the fish here is not that great. I have had the sashimi on several occasions and it is clear that the fish has been frozen and thawed. I know that most fish at sushi restaurants has been frozen, but the freshness of the fish at other sushi places is much better. The restaurant itself is very quiet (no ambient music), so talking with your group can be slightly awkward. I felt like I was shouting when I was there last, and I was overly aware of the people around me who seemed to be silently listening to everything I was saying- not hard to do when you could hear a pin drop! I would say check this place out for decent Korean dishes but skip the sushi and go to Jaku for that instead.

    In my opinion, the best sushi in GR (and I know a few Japanese people who agree). The fish tastes fresh, the specialty roll selection is large, and the Korean food is great too. As with most sushi places, you'll get miso soup and a house salad with ginger sauce along with most of the meals. They changed the ginger sauce recipe a few years back, and it's not as awesome as it used to be. I usually like starting with gyoza or seaweed salad and then ordering an assortment of rolls to share. If you're with a group, this is the way to go - you'll get to try a bit of everything. Don't feel obliged to only order special rolls. I usually like to get a salmon hand roll for myself too. The spicy seafood bibimbop is great, and chicken katsu is a classic Japanese entree. Order the chirashi if you're into sashimi and have never tried this dish before. It's a bit expensive, but an experience you don't want to miss out on. If you're feeling some dessert, there are many ice cream options: green tea, red bean, mochi, tempura. I've never had tempura ice cream, though. Protip: it's fun to get seated in a private tatami room, in which you sit on a cushion on wooden seats.

    Cool little place on Breton - came here with my parents before they left me for good at college. They've got a bunch of lunch specials and it wasn't too packed after the lunch rush. They've got salads and lunch roll specials, but we opted for classic rolls, tempura udon (which I highly recommend), and some special rolls. We got the Vegas Roll and the Calamari Roll which were both solid, and if you're looking for something outside of sushi, they've got Korean food on their menu as well.

    Fresh and so delicious!

    The sushi is the best I've ever had! And the staff is so friendly. I'm definitely coming back. Thank you!

    A good find since I was craving sushi. Had the miso soup and the surprise star of the show, the takoyaki app (teriyaki octopus dumplings). Had three rolls as well (eel avocado, rainbow & dragon). Good portions and flavor. If I had to provide a negative it would be they were a little too warm. Not that I was expecting them to be cold but it was noticeable. Decent value but not the cheapest. I would recommend.

    Absolutely spectacular! We sat at the bar to eat and our sushi chef Daniel was incredible. He makes some great food and is extremely personable and friendly. Highly recommend!!!

    I love Ginza's menu options and sushi! I've done takeout and sat in, service is usually good but…read morethey do get busy at times. There is a good amount of space inside to sit! Although parking can be confusing for your first time going. I love their Bao appetizer. The Bento box is worth getting for the money, I think it gives the best variety of options, it's great! The spicy yaki udon is good too, but definitely spicy and better with soy sauce. Give this place a try!

    Pros: loved the outdoor seating Cons: food was just okay,…read morehad to ask for salt, a smidge pricey for what we got We ordered gyoza, rangoon, karaage chicken, and beef ramen. We were recommended this restaurant so we were excited to give it a go. Sadly, it was a bit of a miss for us. The gyoza, Rangoon, and ramen didn't really taste to either of us like anything special warranting the price. There's an Asian takeaway close to home that we prefer for these items and it's a bit cheaper. Lunch prices weren't great. I liked the sauce for the karaage chicken, but the chicken pieces weren't very good. My hubs actually had to go inside and get salt. I hate leaving negative reviews, I'm not sure if they were having a bad day? We were really hoping to have a special lunch, but ended up paying double what we would've elsewhere for food that was less tasty. I was really, really surprised. And disappointed. Even if we'd paid less, I prob still wouldn't return. The flavors just weren't flaving. Like, it was good, but not remarkable. The Rangoon were probably the best bites, but I can get the same or better quality elsewhere for half the price. Staff were friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere.
