Age Dashi Tofu $10 - Japanese fried tofu in dashi soyu. Favorite! Would recommend!! Soft, fried, not greasy tofu Spicy Salmon with Nori Chip $18 - chopped salmon mixed with spicy oil, scallion,ginger, and chips on side - the fish was good. Good portion size. But the chips were very hard to bite or ripe apart. Would consider getting this just for the fish Kobore Roll (8pcs ,spicy) $19 - diced seasonal fish with spicy mayo, eel sauce serrano pepper, micro greens, and tempura crunch over a base of spicy tuna roll. This was good. A lot of fish

Our 1st time at Kissho House. Will definitely go back. Atmosphere is pleasant. We were upstairs at the a la carte menu. We did not go downstairs where I believe is the Robatayaki was. Service was impeccable. I'm sorry I did not get our servers names as they were friendly, polite, but not overbearing. They explained the menu very well. I am the only person I suppose ever to not like seafood. So I had the short rib don. Amazing. One person had the seaweed salad and mango roll. She said it was good. The other person had the Moriwase Box. It looked so good. She said it was amazing. And the drinks were very tasty. Overall, a really nice dinner. We went early as our plans for later fell through (early like 4:30) so not very many people in the restaurant at that time.

When I came to Kissho House, I truly felt at home. The grilled lamb chops here were flavorful and tender, so much so that we ordered an extra portion after finishing our meal. The sashimi was also very fresh, and the tableware used for presentation was exquisite. I'm sure I'll be back again.

Third time’s the charm — and Kissho House just keeps getting better. I made my third trip to Kissho House last night and finally got to try their new Artisan DIY Platter. Let me just say—it did not disappoint. For $79, this platter is an absolute steal. You get to build your own hand rolls exactly how you like them, with super fresh fish and a beautiful spread of ingredients. It’s interactive, fun, and honestly, it feels like a mini culinary event. The platter also comes with a comforting bowl of miso soup that just warms you up from the inside. Everything about the experience felt thoughtful. I also added an extra order of uni still as sweet and delicate as I remember from previous visits. So fresh and satisfying. Their cocktails were very good too ！ highly recommend.

Beautiful way to spend an evening! We went for the Omakase meal and it was absolutely phenomenal. Everything was prepared in front of you by the chef and each bite was delicious and delicate. By the end of the extensive menu (about 15 courses!) we were pleasantly full and we couldn’t stop talking about it. The cocktails were very good as well. We most enjoyed the jasmine and matcha tea cocktail. We also asked for their recommendation on sake which was a wonderful pairing with the sushi courses. It is pricey but well worth it for special occasions. My wife is gluten free and allergic to uni, and the chef and kitchen took special care to create full replacement dishes and keep her items separate as needed. They took such care!
