Looking for great sushi in Bixby Knolls?

Kinokawa Japanese Restaurant is the place. This is my favorite affordable sushi spot in Bixby Knolls. Located on Wardlow and Walnut, they occupy a small unit at the corner of the strip mall. The inside is decorated with some traditional Japanese decor, but not the overly tacky stuff that you find in other Sushi places.

Cafe Trattoria Limone, located on the on the corner of E Wardlow Rd and Orange Ave, is a great family-run, Italian eatery. My favorite kind of place. If you’re in the mood for great pasta, it’s worth checking out.

When you first walk in the front door you have the choice of sitting at the large L-shaped wood kitchen counter, which seats 8 people. Or you can wait for a regular table. If it’s packed, there are also two tables in the kitchen half of the restaurant. The atmosphere is very cozy, just perfect for small groups or couples.

The Factory opened its doors on December 1st and since then people in Bixby Knolls have been buzzing about the place. Located on Atlantic Avenue, it’s dubbed as the “farm-to-table” restaurant as most of their menu items include organically grown ingredients.

I was really excited to see a new type of restaurant open in Bixby Knolls. And one that supports local farms and growers is a step in the right direction.

But my experience eating at The Factory was less than fantastic.

I once read a review of E.J. Malloy’s that claimed it was the “Cheers” of Bixby Knolls. I’d have to agree.

I usually go to E.J.’s if I’m in the mood for some great buffalo wings and some friendly banter with the staff. I’m there so often, they know me as soon as I walk through the door.

Located on Atlantic Boulevard, close to Trader Joe’s, Baba Ghanouj offers Bixby Knolls and the surrounding area Middle Eastern cuisine with a home-town feel.

Let me just start by saying, George Mitri, the owner of Baba Ghanouj, is super friendly and warm. That in itself is the measure of a great dining experience in Bixby Knolls.
