This is my favorite sushi place. Jimmy always takes great care of us, and he remembers the custom rolls we love. He calls them the Lisa Roll, and they are exactly perfect every single time. The service is fast, courteous, and friendly. The food never disappoints. It is more affordable than most other places, and they offer higher quality, large portions. Sushi Kawa gets the win every time! - Lisa DeLapo
