Sushi Kuu in Visalia

A small dumpling appetizer1 sodaA Katsu bento boxA basic spicy tuna roll with no extra frills2 pieces of mochi for dessertThe total with basic tip just under $60.. the waiting area up at the front is small and can be cramped. We got seated right in the middle of the restaurant and it was pretty loud. You could hear both parties convos next to you like you were eating with them lmao.My sushi roll was a basic non premium tuna roll and it was boring and for almost $10 I could have gotten a more exciting sushi roll at the grocery store. The chicken katsu bento box was pretty good though and although it was $20ish dollars for that alone it was enough to share between two people. The dumplings were mid and over priced as an app. The two pieces of mochi as a dessert were dressed up with some whip cream and was a sad excuse for a $5 dollar dessert.The service was mediocre, they do not dedicate servers to tables and a few servers all float around and help all tables which can be chaotic and cause order confusion. The guy owner walking around with a lady who was shadowing him was very nice. The servers were kind but very busy and curt but not rude. Super busy for a Tuesday evening.Would I go again? Not unless I absolutely wanted to.

The service was really nice! The waitresses and waiters genuinely care and are sweet. This was my first time trying it here! The lighting and atmosphere was cozy. The food got to us fairly quickly. I had the spicy pork ramen. I asked for no pork belly because I’m not the biggest fan of it, though the broth still tasted pretty strong of pork belly. My sister loved her bento box! We also got some California Rolls with Spicy Mayo and it was YUM! Hence the “Sushi” in the name, I’d say it’s the main dish to get :) I’d recommend going between 11am-1:45 for faster service if that is what you are looking for. I understand why it would get pretty busy after 4:30. I’d definitely come again if I’m craving some Sushi!

I am always looking for new places to try, and when I saw this restaurant on dine and dish, it was a must. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and service on point. The popcorn shrimp 🍤 was a must-have. We would have had 2 of them. The dragon rolls were very good that we had 2 of them. The sashimi was OK, but in all fairness, it was fresh and very tasty. Would we come back? Most definitely. We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated and was worth the weight.

Have always heard good things and finally went in to check it out. The service was amazing, I barely had the words out of my mouth and the dishes began appearing. Everything was absolutely delicious. They were easily able to accommodate vegetarian needs and made special rolls on request. Great selection of craft beers as well. I will be coming here again!

Some of the freshest fish we’ve had! I got the Poprocks roll and a spicy tuna roll, and my husband got the Sushi Nigiri Set.We got there about 10 minutes after they opened for dinner and it was already half way filled up.They have incredible fast service, but we felt rushed out (in and out in less than 30 min). People were already waiting for tables at the front by the time we left — it fills up quickly on a Friday night!

Best sushi in Visalia. Make sure you get there at the non busy times. When they get busy your wait will be long. Crew does a decent job on service but there is room for improvement there, especially when they are swamped. The food, sushi and atmosphere makes up for it. Newer location is much bigger. Albert the owner is a nice guy. Youll see him behind the Sushi bar every day.

On September 22, around 1 pm, I came in to eat and ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl. I ate about a quarter of my food and took home left overs and upon looking more closely at the food, I FOUND A PRESS ON NAIL! Absolutely disgusting. I felt so sick. The entire nail was mixed into the food. I called SushiKu the next day and spoke to DIANA. She told me servers are not allowed to wear nails. Obviously they do since I was staring at one in my food. They offered me NO REFUND or ANY type of help. I will not come back. I have been ignored multiple times through phone calls and emails. NO one provided me any resolution. So if you decide to eat here and find something in your food, or are simply unhappy, do not expect any help. VERY UNSANITARY.

Ok there is good sushi places then there are GREAT SUSHI PLACES!!! This one falls under great. They have the coolest no section service which means every server is your server and they all are so helpful and kind. We tried the pineapple saki and Man it was good. With a light beer. We had the lion king roll, green goblin (not pictured) and another super awesome one. But they were all so delicious.The environment was fun in downtown visalia. Also the owner Albert (I believe that was his name) was front and center making sushi. Also the other sushi chefs were so kind and helpful. We ended up needing our 3rd roll to go. And they boxed it up no problems.If I could this place would get a 10 out of 5. I will be back fs.

Excellent quality of fishes! Very fresh!They use real Wasabi instead fake powder.My first time ever see a restaurant write down each of fish name on the take out box by the their positions, this give me a hint that clearly knows what I’m having.Definitely worth every penny.Keep up the good work!!

Bento box is filling comes with a side salad as well. Chicken teriyaki is flavorful and tender. Beef slices are thin and melt in your mouth. California rolls are good and taste like most California rolls Ive tried. Called ahead to order and picked up but I would like to dine in soon; the atmosphere was very inviting and tables are spaced out nicely. Staff is quick to greet each customer and make sure everyone has been helped.
