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.

You can eat at the sushi bar or in the small booths in the dining room. They have a cool little tatami room which is great for keeping tabs on your small kids.

Their sushi is good. They have some great rolls as well. They’ve been in the area for a while, but they still seem to be just a word-of-mouth place. Kinokawa has great Japanese dishes, such as chicken karaage, tempura, teriyaki, and great fresh sushi menu.

The service here is great. The chefs and wait staff are always smiling and ready to answer any questions. I often go there for lunch and it’s not that hard to get a table. It may be because of its location, or that it’s not a franchise place like the big ones close to the tourist areas.

I’m never disappointed when I visit Kinokawa. I’ve been going for years and I know what to expect: Friendly service and good sushi.

Unfortunately, they don’t have a website, but you can always call ahead.

So if you’re looking for a good, affordable Japanese restaurant, check out Kinokawa Japanese Restaurant.
