My first visit this restaurant was on last summer, then visit on a weekly basis. It's one of my favorite spots in my local area. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and the presentation is absolutely beautiful, never been disappointed. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Overall, I highly recommend Kirin for anyone who is looking for delicious and high-quality sushi takeout in the area. It's definitely worth checking out!!!

Kirin never disappoints whether it’s sushi or cooked dishes. It’s clean and convenient with a varied menu, it’s not on the menu but ask for their beef in orange sauce. It’s a favorite of mine and it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Delicious little spot. This isn’t a sit down restaurant, only about 2 small tables. Definitely an incredible takeout spot. The fried rice was INSANE! The best I’ve had. Their prices and lunch portions are amazing. It’s great to have a spot that offers lots of sushi, but also hibachi or cooked foods for some variety or for those who don’t eat raw fish. Give this place a try for your next to go order. UPDATE: Ordered again on 10/30/22, a year after my first review, and the quality is still UNMATCHED!!!!!!! The fish to rice ratio for the sushi is insane!! So much fish! We tried the Crab Rangoons and when I tell you there was no oil residue in the takeout box which is unheard of…. The oil that it is fried in is very clean. Sooo so happy that even after a year, Kirin is still top 3 sushi I’ve had (Visiting from South FL) :) The quality of the food is fantastic, the place is super clean. Also, they package the food so nicely!

I have been eyeing this place for a while and decided to stop by for lunch. Very happy with the service and food quality. Ordered the sushi 5pc with California roll, the any 3 roll (OOB roll, yellow tail and spicy tuna) and the lo mein special. Yumm

This is a lil hidden gem for sushi in the area. Awesome rolls with a great selection to choose from. Varied menus, including specific lunch menus. You can definitely find something you'll like here.

When my family and I attended; the service was fast, friendly, and accurate. We sat at the hibachi table and our chef was funny and engaging. The portions were generous and it was very well made.

Omg this place was amazing!! I'm so sad we are just visiting because I would actually eat here every week if I lived around here. The spicy miso ramen was SO GOOD!! That broth omg. The hibachi noodles were flavorful & a mini meal on their own! The sushi rolls tasted great. Fair prices too!!

Our experience at Kirin was unmatched. The food is expertly curated, delicious, and unique. We could NOT get over how high-quality the food was. The seating is limited as this is mostly a take-away spot, but the energy of the establishment is superb all the same. I accidentally spilled soy sauce just about everywhere and the kind staff immediately jumped in to help and accommodate me. The customer service combined with the food has made this one of our favorite sushi eateries to date. We’ll be back!
