Food: Neutral flavors, bold prices

Kisho's sushi sashimi, fried rice, and scallop and shrimp may receive praise, but reviews indicate a disturbing trend of blandness and overcooking, compromising the flavor palate. The sushi's freshness is often called into question, contributing to the confounding paradox of a high price tag for seemingly sub-par quality. Despite an extensive and varied menu, the lack of innovative creativity leaves one doomed to repetitive, mediocre food experiences.

  • Very Creative

    Inventive rolls and new creations highlighted unique, delightful options.

  • Okay Taste

    Good and bad food experiences balanced by generally satisfying meals.

  • Bad Value

    Even with discounts, prices are seen as too high for what you get.

Vibe: Ambiance echoes grease and gloom

Navigating the dark, musty corners of Kisho's ambiance is hardly an entertaining feat, despite the professed skill of their performing chefs. This eatery's poor lighting and mismatched, greasy décor steer it away from potential date night credibility. Its aggravating noise levels further ruin the chances of intimate dinner conversations, and, unfortunately, their weak, overpriced drinks do nothing to lessen the sting.

  • Great To Entertain

    Great entertainment with talented chefs performing while cooking.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Dim lighting, dirty and greasy feel, which detracted from the experience.

Perks: Service more despondent than speedy

Kisho could learn a lot about the importance of good parking - the dismal lot is far from the premises and only exacerbates every patron's loathsome visit. While the restaurant claims to accept reservations, enterprise proves futile when you're left waiting over 45 minutes, staring at the odd, dusty street-side furniture that passes for outdoor seating. Expectations for professional, rapid service fall flat frequently, according to disgruntled customers.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups with great service and party-friendly atmosphere.

  • Bad Service

    Complaints of slow service, unprofessional and occasionally rude staff.
