Kigawa Bistro - San Leandro

The place was great. delicious food and nice people.

Kigawa bistro is a fantastic small place for fresh and tasty sushi. the restaurant is something on the small size, but the atmosphere is very beautiful. the proportion and quality of sushi was fair and reflects the price point.

This place was just a happenstance for me and i really like the ambience right of the bat. It wasnt crowded and that's how i like it.Food: i tried the tempura udon, tamago, inari and all were amazing. I tried the cold sake sampler and was satisfied enough.Service: the staff were very polite and professional, they helped us choose right food for us and the food came out in the right order and on time.I don't eat meat and so I've already had all the vegetarian option they could offer, otherwise I'd definitely go back to this place. Or may be I'll just go for sake and some appetizers.

Was recommended this spot for date night. There was one server when we arrived (right at opening) and she was nice, she came by making sure our water was refilled and took away plates as we finished them and as she brought us out the rest of the orders nothing to write home about but she did her thing.The food we ordered for the most part was really good but with some minor complaints and one big thing. The goods, the sashimi and Lion queen were delicious. The wagyu and uni nigiri was also delicious just the cuts of the wagyu weren't as clean (nit picky) for the price. The omakase has a great chef choice selection of nigiri's for the most part I enjoyed them all but found that some of the cuts of fish still had some bones in them. The temperature was on the warmer side and the shrimp weren't sweet like other spots you'd get them from and just tasted more like raw white frozen shrimp.

The service here is friendly, and the portions are good. The fish is fresh and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. In response to other reviewers' comments about temperature, I found that the sushi was served at a cool to warm temperature, which is how it is meant to be in order to allow some fat to render slightly. It's not supposed to be too cold.
