Great staff and servers. Hard working people. Great service. Last time I went I got moved inside by staff because someone was screaming outside. Food is great otherwise. Staff is caring.

I've tried the fried rice and a variety of sushi rolls at Kawa on Silver Spring. The fried rice is great and the sushi is good but not the best I've had in Milwaukee. The presentation of the sushi is very pretty, I love the flower addition.I also like their quick service and the staff is always friendly. Whenever I call in for a pick-up order, the estimated time is usually 15 minutes. Super quick!

After having driven past Kawa (about a thousand times), and telling my husband (about a thousand times) how I want to go there, I finally made it in. Too bad for him though because I ended up going with a friend ;) To echo the many other reviews here, the sushi here is realllll good. And the presentation? Equally as good. My friend and I popped in for an early dinner on a Monday night. The place was surprisingly busy for a Monday. We decided to sit inside which had a low key atmosphere. In quick succession came our glasses of chilled white wine, much to our enjoyment, and then our sushi platter! Let me tell ya, we had a tough time deciding because this menu is stacked. In the end we chose the crunch dragon roll (spicy tuna), amazing roll (shrimp tempura), and scorpion king (tempura soft shell crab). They were all delightful, but I think my fave was the dragon roll. I'm a sucker for tuna.These rolls came out on a decorated platter, with some stacked on top of eachother, and some kind dry-ice situation giving a smoke effect. So fun! Our neighboring table even noted they were impressed.I shall return. And maybe invite the hubby next time, lol!

If you haven't tried Kawa Japanese Restaurant et, go right now. we had a great team lunch their. The portions are great and all the food was delicious! As someone who doesn't eat sushi but when everyone else at work/in the friend group does this provides the best of both worlds. I had the Chicken Teriyaki lunch entree which came with a flavorful salad! My coworkers got to enjoy all the sushi.

So yummy! We enjoyed all of the food we ordered. We started with the dynamite shrimp. Came out hot and crispy! Then we had 3 rolls- California, Amazing, and Godzilla. We would order this all again. It was our first time dining in and it had a casual vibe in the restaurant. Service was good and they took note of my peanut allergy. We will definitely be back. Best sushi in the North Shore!

We play trivia at the Third Street Market here and there and I keep getting the ramen. One of these times, I should try something else since there are so many interesting food choices. But I'm a big ramen fan who seldom gets it, so to Kawa I go every time.It's just really dependably tasty. The portion is good for a dinner. Nice fresh flavors. Have always found the staff to be friendly and reasonably speedy too.I just got the edamame as a side for the first time and that was good too. All in all, nice reliable place to get your ramen fix!

This was my first time. I ordered shrimp tempura. It came quickly. I hadn't time to drink my soup or eat my salad. So. No wasabi. Had to call him over. He brought it and regular soy sauce. No ginger. Had to call him over again. Got ginger. Ok. The shrimp was excellent. The veggies I think had cement powder as part of the coating. Hard!!!!! The broccoli wasMushy and hard. Yuck. Usually Japanese restaurants have a different soy sauce.....one that is not so thick to add ginger and wasabi to it. Not the case. I loved the soup. I'd never really considered the soup to be tasty but Kawa's was delicious. I think the chef needs to check his tempura flower. Eliminate the cement.
