“ Amazing place to get both vegetarian/vegan sushi rolls and regular sushi rolls. Only place I know of yet which has unique menu catering to both equally. Service is quick and they do really make sure everything is perfect. Different sake available to pair with sushis. Parking is easy. Wait is there on weekends. Better on to join on yelp or make reservations before. ”

“ I can't speak for the ambience as the restaurant as we ordered on DoorDash, but we were really impressed by the quality of the fish! The rolls were really yummy, but we especially loved the salmon nigiri. Will be ordering it from here again in the future! ”
“ Okay for reference, is this the best sushi place ever...no. It's pretty good. I give 5 stars because for me, every restaurant starts at 5 and goes down if things aren't up to par, issues occur, or I feel it's not worth the price spent. Luckily for Kiroro, none of those negative things happened. Kiroro hit all the spots. I've just been to some really amazing sushi spots recently and so it's apples and oranges. My sushi judgement is still cloudy from my dinner at Uchi last month. I reserved a table on Yelp, recommend you do that for dinner, that time gets busy. Service was friendly and mostly attentive. I love the complimentary green tea and continuous refills. Miso soup was fine, it's miso soup. Everything had pretty good flavor. Honestly my favorite thing was my unagi. It was delicious. We ordered some pretty basic stuff so I can't say it blew me away, it was all solid. I saw other people ordering some good things. The item that looked the best but I didn't go for was the omakase plank. The pieces of fish on there looked awesome! So, you can have an excellent dinner at kiroro, if you order and spend correctly. We topped out at about $65 dollars for 2. That's really cheap and a decent deal. I enjoyed my food... I did end up having to just pull out the hamachi from the roll toward as there was too much rice hiding the fish. The mushroom tempura roll was an okay choice, not sure what we were thinking there. I'm not vegan so we should have gotten more fish lol. Dragon roll was good and they do give an option to upgrade to real crab. Didn't do it but that's nice they offer it. Overall myself and my friend, who I'm visiting, enjoyed it. ”
“ Place is very small, and quite loud due to large group of people or families. Due to it being small not much room or privacy. Still food was amazing here and can't go wrong with sushi. Off to the food review! 4.1/5 - Double Toro - Despite the flavors of the fish is really good and it looks amazing. I wish the toro on top wasn't as smashed as it was. Leaves a weird mushy texture as it reaches your mouth. Still good, just texture wise a bit off 4.5/5 - Super Sugoi Box - Very skeptical at first due to the price and what you get, however each section has great flavor and very unique. Gives off a great impression and a nice way to share with a partner. Comes with a pair of oyster shooters, tastes fresh. 2 different bowls of rice, one was more of poke inspired which didn't taste too great, but the other with uni on it and raw egg yolk was amazing. Very creamy and uni tastes sweet with no bitterness. Other sections were different raw fishes, scallop, and one meat dish each tastes good no complaints ”
“ Came on a weekday lunch and easily grabbed a spot. They do have a nice lunch combo for $20-24 (salad, gyoza, roll, sashimi), but opted to try some of their other options. Deluxe chirashi bowl: Comes with a variety of fish. [NOTE: For salmon, hamachi, etc, they provide 4 slices. For scallop, uni, amaebi, they only provide one piece]. I'm glad I tried it to get a sense of the quality of the fish, but wouldn't get it again. The fish quality was okay and not outstanding. They use quite a bit of seasoning, sauce and toppings, which masks the fish quality a bit. I personally would have preferred letting the fish shine itself. They have a very extensive list of specialty rolls, most are $17-19. Ordered the Double toro roll based on their recommendations. Quite tasty. Overall, a good sushi joint if you're looking primarily for rolls. Quality of the sushi is average though. ”
“ Passed by this sushi place a few times but never had the urge to try it. Couldn't decide what to have for dinner and ended up pulling the trigger on trying this place. Came on a Saturday night and we were fortunate enough to get seats quickly. The service was fast and very polite, provided recommendations as we were first timers to the restaurant. Interior of the restaurant was standard for a Japanese restaurant. The sushi rolls were very flavorful and have great sized portions. They're known for their omakase, definitely will be trying it in the future. Great sushi spot in Belmont! Definitely worth giving it a try! ”
“ Use Yelp waitlist and reservations! I was a fool the first time I came here and I didn't realize they took Yelp reservations/had a Yelp waitlist. Waited for about 20 minutes at the peak of starvation. The second time I came, I hopped on the Yelp waitlist 15 minutes out when it gave an average 25-35 minute wait. And then I scrolled down and saw open reservation times for every 15 minutes for the rest of the night. They have about 12ish tables and 6 seats along the bar. Their menu is categorized by the type of fish, which is really smart. Their portions are generous and prices are not too bad. 2 rolls, 1 appetizer, and a few pieces of nigiris totaled to $70 out the door. I would come back over and over and over again. ”
“ For having gone to many sushi restaurants, this one wasn't too memorable, but did have its shining moments. The fish tasted fresh and the quality was great. I'd love to try the other rolls they had because many of the signatures included premium fish like blue fin tuna and so on. One downside was that one of our friends had been waiting for his meal while all of us had received ours for a while, and yet no staff bothered to check in on that. When we asked our waiter, he said it was coming. Fast forward, we're almost all done and some girl comes by and we ask her about it. She says she'll ask, and shortly afterwards our friend finally gets his meal. They definitely forgot about it. Otherwise the food is cool. Service is eh. ”
“ Made reservations on Yelp to try Kiroro Sushi in Belmont. Located in a shopping center on El Camino Real it's hard to see from the street. Kiroro Sushi has a variety of sake, beers and fresh fish offerings. When we arrived the restaurant was full and I'm glad I made reservations. We started with some sake, beer, edemame and ordered the following items: Shrimp tempura 4/5 stars Hamachi Kama 4/5 stars Super Sugoi Box 5/5 stars 30 pc sashimi box Geso Karrage 5/5 stars Shima Aji 5/5 stars Golden eye 5/5 stars Veggie Ramen 2/5 stars actually came out Luke warm had to send it back to get reheated. Taste meh. Parking in the shopping center. Service was fast and efficient. ”
