The robata selection is excellent, and the sushi is consistently good. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is attentive. Highlights include amaebi and grilled mackerel. The spider roll, squid off the robata, blackened cod, and wagyu beef are highly recommended. Overall, Kirala is a standout Japanese restaurant in the Bay Area, perfect for special occasions or casual dining. Reservations not accepted, so plan accordingly.
I have been dining at Kirala Restaurant since 1990. The food is consistently fresh and delicious.
I recently had the chance to eat at Kirala Restaurant, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the sushi and sashimi. Honestly, I was impressed by...
My partner and I live near Kirala and we always smell the delicious barbecue and yakitori coming from their kitchen. We decided to finally walk over and try it out.
Kirala, a longtime Berkeley institution, has the best sushi I have eaten anywhere! Great to go at lunchtime, when it isn't too crowded and there's no line. In the evening, expect a line out the door. It does move somewhat quickly. You can choose to wait at the bar where you can eat a more limited menu or hang on the line and talk to your companions and others from the neighborhood. It's the only restaurant that doesn't take reservations where I will eat. It's worth it
Your Robata is the best. You have a really good selection of robata articles to try. Shizo chicken, asparagus beef, eggplants... try it and you'll love it. Your sushi is okay, not spectacular. I had better fish in pleasant. Rolls are standard. Also be prepared for the long waiting period, there are no reservations.
