Kaori Sushi かおり寿司

I found this place through the Michelin restaurant guide. A cozy place to enjoy authentic Japanese food. We ordered rolls, salad, and sashimi. The salmon wrapped crab meat sashimi is my favorite. Be mindful of their schedule for lunch as they open for only three hours from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm.

Wow! The sashimi was very fresh, and sweet. Usually I don't like uni because most of the time it tastes "fishy", but not this time. The uni was sweet and creamy. The service was great, the staff are very friendly. Oh, and don't forget to finish with their Yuzu sorbet, so refreshing.

The variety here is great! They offer udon, rolls, sashimi, bento boxes, perfect for any eater. They also have cooked items if you are not into raw food, or vegetarian as well. With that said, the food is good, but not deserving of a michelin review. I still recommend you go here, as there is nothing wrong with the food, but for a cheaper price, and much nicer atmosphere, you can go to Huntington Ramen a few miles down the road. I ordered a few rolls, ranging from $9-18 (around the average price in SoCal), and found them to be small compared to others. The bathroom is very run down, and the seating is dark and crowded.

Chef's choise sushi and Chef's choise sashimi are savory. It melts in your mouth. Also, Kaori Bento and Chirashi bowl are really good. Servers are very kind. 😃

This looks like an Osaka-themed restaurant. Food is quite good but not huge portions. Price is typical of Japanese restaurants. Service was decent but not excellent because there were only 2 people working. The ambience is the highlight of the place. You will feel like being transported to Japan. I think if u take a date, s/he will like it.
