“ I had the most exceptional experience dining with Kaya Sushi. I highly recommend! How do I start this review? After a long day of travel I was looking for a place to eat that was near my hotel. Never did I expect to find such a treat. Sushi places these days seem to all play the same. Good food, tho rarely the exception. My Kaya experience was the exception. The very personable servers entertained my request to delight me with something special, a signature dish, something that would stand out. Under their guidance, I ordered the Blue Fin Tuna Sashimi special, made extra special using Toro, a favorite of mine. This delicate and delicious dish was phenomenal! Amazing!! To complement that dish I ordered their rainbow roll too. Whoa! Fresh, full of flavors and so well presented. One of the best I’ve had anywhere. Such as these dishes were, I didn’t touch my soy sauce, wasabi or ginger! Heck, even the miso soup was on point! Dinner was accompanied by a Orion beer severed with a frozen beer mug. Dessert was not forgotten, my choice was a warm saki and the chef surprised me with a complimentary dish too (I don’t what it was, it was very tasty too!). Thank you Chef and servers for an exceptional experience! ”

“ Kaya Sushi – The Best Sushi Spot Around! We live in Santa Monica, but we make the drive to El Segundo at least once a month just to eat at Kaya Sushi—because it’s simply the best sushi restaurant around! The menu offers an extensive variety of options, and everything we’ve tried has been excellent. I especially love their creative takes on traditional dishes, adding a unique twist while maintaining authentic flavors. The service is exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always making us feel welcome. Highly recommend this place! A solid 10/10 in every way. If you go, don’t miss out on the Spicy Crunch Rainbow Roll and the Marilyn Mon-Roll—they're our absolute favorites ”

“ Nice and clean spot with friendly service and tasty food. I got the spicy pork bento box and it hit the spot. Great portion size and very delicious food. It’s a bit on the pricey side (even on the lunch special) but it was worth it. Last call for lunch is 1:30pm so be sure to arrive earlier than that to get your order in before they close to prep for dinner service. ”

“ BEST SUSHI I HAVE EVER HAD! Went for lunch and am making a reservation for dinner tomorrow. If anyone wants some good high quality Sushi, this is the place to go. The service is amazing and you get big portions for not a lot of money. I am 14 and if I could rank this 1/100 it wouldn't even be on the list, it would be higher than 100....by a LOT! The chef's food is AMAZING! Their fish is to die for! ”

“ Super romantic patio setting just for us...seriously no one else there at 5pm sharp loved it..food was light healthy and delicious Tuna salad..crunchy asparagus and garlic mushrooms...Lobster rolls were amazing and edamame beans love that you can enjoy a lengthy conversation while popping those pods. Honey Ginger tea was perfect since it gets a bit cold after 5pm but heat lamps will help keep you cozy and warm..COVID safety regulations in place and now seating is available indoors limited but available if you wish. ”

“ 2018 review: My favorite sushi restaurant in the South Bay! The Korean bulgogi is also amazing! It is expensive, but worth it. 2025 review: I returned to Kaya 7 years after moving out of the area and was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality was just as I remembered! ”

“ One of the best meals we’ve had in Kelowna! We tried several appies, entrees and dessert too. Every dish we ordered was amazing. Lots of flavour and creative combinations. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We look forward to our next meal here. ”

“ A must stop for me when I’m in LA. Love the food, ambiance and especially the service. A big fan of the green tea, uncle kwans stir fry noodles, and the tempura. Tried most of the options and keep coming back to those. I ventured out and tried the baked scallop roll this time - like everything else - excellent! ”
