OMG! Just had my first experience here. Wanted to treat myself. The moment I walked in, the smell of food excited me. Asked for Sapporo and they have it on draft! Told the waitress what I like for sushi and she recommended a roll. AMAZING! She also asked if I’d like an appetizer, sure! Got the Saba. OMG! Was cooked perfectly! My waitress was Sagan and was a gem! I just left thinking, “That was sooo good!” I’ll be back for HH and with a friend! Thanks guys!

Kirala has the best sushi I've ever had. I also love their cha soba, miso, sunomono, house sake (chilled), and nigiri. Be sure to get there 10-15 minutes before they open because people line up in advance to get a table. Worth it! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

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.
