I'm cheap so I went for one of the reduced price rolls, which I assume was made the day before and discounted because of that. There was a noticable difference in taste, but not so much that it ruined the roll. The roll we got fresh tasted fantastic. Great place to get in, eat, and get out quickly. Affordable as well.

There was also way too much rice for the little amount of beef you get and the overall size of the bowl itself was also pretty small. |2| Oyakodon Pretty average. The chicken was bland, and again, you get very little meat in comparison to how much rice there is. The size of the bowl was a lot larger than the gyudon, but most of it was just rice. |3| Sushi Combo HIGHLIGHT of the meal! This included 5 pieces of nigiri and 6 maki rolls. The raw fish was surprisingly good and fresh. The accompanying rice for the nigiri rolls were also cooked well (especially in comparison to the rice bowls). This wasn't exactly cheap, but it's not too bad of a deal for a nigiri roll set. |4| Alaskan roll This was the roll we got for free (refer to PRICES section below). The salmon still tasted decent, but this roll was made with brown rice which definitely did not taste as good. The consistency of the brown rice was a bit sticky mushy and the avocados had browned a bit (since this roll was a day old). Not sure I would get this again, but I'm sure it would have tasted a lot better if it was fresh and made with white rice. P R I C E S The food here isn't cheap, but it's not too expensive for Japanese takeout food. A great deal is that if you spend over $10, which is pretty easy to do, you can get any item labeled with an orange sticker for free! The items with the orange sticker are usually a day old, so these are already set at a discounted price. O T H E R C O M M E N T S During early COVID, customers were not allowed to use the microwave (which is understandable), but this means that all rice bowls have to be eaten cold (unless you bring it home to reheat). Unfortunately for my husband and I, we bought the food to eat for a picnic so we had to deal with cold meat rice. If you do come here, I would pass on any of the bentos or rice bowls and choose their sashimi nigiri roll options.

Few choice of Bento ; there are Chicken Katsu, Kara Age and Fish Bento. The Grilled Fish bento does not come with any sauce. All the sauce sold separately. Taste? Ok. Price is reasonable. If there is any left over from yesterday, it would be free with minimum $10 purchase.

Kirala is renowned for its generous portions of fresh sushi, and this little stall in the food court lived up to its reputation. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, while the hamachi collar bento box was superb. The fish was a bit salty, but paired with the rice, it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be returning for more!

For the price of $8.95, you get a very good deal on the bento boxes; they have unique salads and pickled vegetables to pair with your protein for the bento box. If you spend more than $10, then you get a free item marked with an orange sticker. Decor: It's a to go stand, so they keep the cool case well organized. Service: When I call in orders, I admit I have a hard time understanding the lady who answers. Overall, they are very friendly and make sure you have everything you need before you check out.
