This is hands down the best sushi I have ever had, been eating here for over a decade. I've tried around 35-40 sushi restaurants on the east coast (primarily CT and NY) over the last 10 years and I find myself consistently driving 40 minutes to go eat here. The sushi is always fresh, the taste feels elevated compared to other places. We try to go at least once a month.
Every time I go I get at least a Spicy Tuna roll (most places use frozen tuna for their spicy tuna paste, here they use fresh so the rolls are mostly red not orange), Spicy Scallop roll (smooth and delicious), Philadelphia roll (they add chives to it, fantastic with smoked salmon and cream cheese), Eel and Avocado roll (its a dragon roll but $6 instead of $10).
Other things to note, their Miso soup is AMAZING. I like the Beef Negimaki, I order as a 6 piece appetizer all the time.
They have THE BEST Sesame Chicken I've ever had, beats the pants off any Chinese restaurant. (And that's saying something they have David Chen's next door). Only get it to eat there, if its for a long car trip or long delivery that takes some of the wow factor out of the crispy chicken.

Read morePerhaps a result of underestimating the traffic on a Monday, but the service, while friendly was extremely poor. After being seated we were immediately asked to order drinks. We selected an expensive ($28) bottle of 300 ml sake and asked for an order of edamame while we perused the menu. The edamame showed up quickly but the sake artived 15 minutes later after the first bottle of sake was finished. The whole branzino, which was the reason we selected Kira was unavailable. We ordered chicken yakisoba, shredded duck and two soecial rolls. The rolls were fine and well-presented, the duck was an overpriced Chinese stir fy and the "yakisoba," which was made with green noodles that were not soba was overcooked, mushy and tasteless. We told the server what we felt and received an apology, but no offer to replace it with another dish or any comp of that dish, dessert or anything else to recover our custom. Overall, a...
Read moreMy wife and I were long time customers of Kira, ordering take out at least twice a week. Our recent order of November 9th consisted of sushi that was either not fresh or frozen. It had a foul aftertaste and had a strange color. As long time patrons I called the restaurant not to complain but to make the owners aware. I was referred to a person who identified herself as the manager. She became belligerant, questioning the validity of my statements. She said she wanted to come to our house to view the fish and then insisted that we take photos of the order. After much discussion, she said that she would issue a refund to our credit card. To add insult to injury, her promise of a refund never was processed. Truly unfortunate as the restaurant lost a long time loyal...
