"I always sit at the sushi bar to chat with Albert about what’s fresh that day, with most of the fish coming directly from Japan. On one occasion, a visitor from San Francisco said it was his first time at Sushi Kuu, and he remarked that there was nothing in S.F. that matched this experience! Albert offers an incredible variety of fresh fish, making each visit a unique experience. He creates three specialty hand rolls that he serves open, almost like tacos, so you can see the delicious ingredients inside. Albert makes all of his sauces and dips himself, keeping the recipes a secret from even his staff! He prepares his own house-made wasabi and soy sauce, too. Although I typically don’t order rolls, I highly recommend the Green Goblin! It’s a special roll that you won’t find anywhere else. It originally contains farmed salmon, but I prefer wild-caught, so I substitute it with King Salmon and call it the King Goblin, both topped with jalapeño and a secret light citrus sauce—absolutely delicious! Everything is so flavorful and fresh that it's tough to choose favorites! I’m sharing a picture of his special list to highlight the seasonal varieties he fillets himself, so be sure to try something while it's available! Don’t miss the Super Oh Toro, served as seared sashimi; it literally melts in your mouth, and the searing brings out all the oils and flavor. Albert also creates a wonderful red oil with crunch that you add to the fish—so good! Whether you’re a sushi and sashimi fanatic or a ramen lover, this place is a must-visit. The broth for his ramen noodles is incredibly flavorful! Sushi Kuu also boasts a wide selection of Japanese beers and sake. Sit at the bar, meet Albert, and truly appreciate his craft. If you mention Tony, he’ll know you're a sushi aficionado. Cheers!"

"I was staying in the area for a work trip and found this spot on Google maps. There were many positive reviews so I decided to give it a try for lunch. Upon entering I noticed the spaciousness of the restaurant. I was seated in a booth up front next to a window. This area had two rows of very comfortable booths. I met was by my server; she was soft spoken and very attentive. I ordered hot green tea. When it arrived at my table I was pleasantly surprised that I was given an entire hot tea pot. This was perfect because the tea cup was small and this allowed me to refill it myself with more hot tea. I decided on one of the lunch specials. But first I had to try one of the many appetizers. I ordered the spicy tuna over crispy rice; which was awesome. A large amount of spicy tuna on top of a crispy rice square, topped with a fresh jalapeño slice. As for my actual meal, I selected a plate combo with teriyaki beef and five pieces of sashimi. This included a small salad and miso soup. The soup and salad came out relatively fast. The salad was delicious, the dressing was just right. The miso soup was also great; not too salty. As for my combo plate, it was very good. The five prices of sashimi tasted fresh. I wish the pieces were larger but for the price it was appropriate. The beef teriyaki was also very good, just the right amount of fatty tender beef. The sauce was good but there was a little too much of it; not a big deal though. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I will for sure come back here the next time I’m in town."
