Kanno California Sushi Bar

After hearing glowing reports from friends and coworkers about Kanno, I just had to try it myself! It's located near Veterans Blvd on a side street, so despite the restaurant itself having a tight parking lot, there are plenty of other areas nearby to park.The inside is cozy with both small and large tables/booths, as well as a sushi bar you can sit at.The sushi itself, especially their special rolls, are divine! They have a great selection of nigiri, sashimi, rolls, etc, and I can't wait to try more! I ordered the sashimi appetizer which came with a great array of selections: it's perfect for anyone who doesn't know what exactly to choose and wants to try a bit of everything! I also ordered a few special rolls, and each was delicious!During my visit, I ended up sitting at the bar, and making small talk with the chef was wonderful as well. Plus the service was great and I was able to get my rolls straight from the chef's hands! When I was done, they brought out an in-house made chocolate dessert. I have no idea what it was, but I could've eaten a whole tray of them! It was cold and chocolate-y, similar to a truffle or mousse. Kanno was definitely worth the visit, and it's the perfect place for a nice date and good food. I'll certainly be back to try more!

I came here and had a terrible experience. We ordered the deep fried calamari appetizer and when it came out and when we tasted it, it was awful. It was super rubbery and burnt tasting. So I asked the waitress if we could get something else or replace it. She came back to our table to tell us the manager refused. So we asked to speak to the manager. When she got to the table she was very rude. She said she wouldn't replace or refund our order but would give me a $4 discount. She also said she tasted a piece and it was fine. When I told her $4 off a $15 item we weren't going to eat was not going to suffice, she became indignant! I told her she had two choices, one to call the police or two call the owners of the store in Japan. She agreed then to take the calamari off of the bill.Out of the 5 rolls, 4 were good and the sashimi was tasty. But I couldn't come back. There is tastier sushi with better customer service elsewhere. 4/10 would not recommend.

Found this place from yelp! Had to check it out for myself. When we first walked in we were greeted right away and seated immediately. The service was impeccable and fast. We ordered a bunch of items based on pictures. The Ricky roll, tiki roll, energy roll, baked mussels, sashimi, and hand roll. Everything was amazing, sooooo fresh, and high quality! The sashimi melted in my mouth like warm chocolate. This by far is the best sushi restaurant in the surrounding cities!!! PleAse just go!

Kanno is a hidden gem where sushi dreams come true. The miso soup is a cozy hug, the snow crab salad is rich yet light, and the Tiki Roll? A tropical party in every bite. Low-key spot, high-key delicious.

Kanno is conveniently located in Fat City near Lakeside Shopping Center, and there was adequate parking the night I visited.I was warmly welcomed, seated, and provided three menus right away. Two of the menus contained their current specials.I had a protein roll and an order of gyoza. They were both good.When our server brought the check we were given a little container of chocolates for dessert. They were delicious!

Oh YEAH! Now that's some sashimi!I now know my go-to order will be a sashimi appetizer and side sushi rice as my dinner. And if I'm not alone I'll split the tofu avocado appetizer. It's literally just chopped up silky tofu and avocado in sauce but like...what more do you need? All my sashimi was perfectly fresh and the portions were generous and filling. Warm fresh rice too.My friend's roll (i think caterpillar?) was way way oversauced. It was falling apart from being so wet. Apparently this is a common issue here that I hope they remedy. However they took it off the bill with no issue. Now I know!

OMGGGG some of the best sushi I've had in the city. None of the rolls had rice which I literally didn't even realize until they were completely gone. So fresh. We had to wait a bit because they don't take reservations but so worth it. Just keep that in mind because it's a small restaurant so not a lot of tables. We will be back!!!!

The sunflower roll and Ryan roll? I think it's called never fail. They always deliver great flavor, texture with the pickled onions, and lovely quality fish. The chefs are efficient, servers are attentive and accessible, and the experience is always outright lovely, especially with the chocolates given at the end of a dine in meal to my infinite delight. They are delicious and can even be purchased on their own! It's a small place so may get loud and can get busy on the weekend so call for a reservation or arrive early on their open weekdays. It's definitely a longtime favorite hole in the wall.

My favorite sushi restaurant... been going to see Elvis since he first opened. Friendliest staff. Service is always great. The best, most delicious and creative house special rolls. I always get the same rolls though because they're AMAZING! The W roll is my favorite because I love spicy tuna and the flavor is epic with a surprise crunch of julienne apple! I've never had a bad meal in over 20+ years of going there. And you'll love your complimentary chocolate pudding bites at the end, that's the truth! ENJOY!

Sushi is always fresh at Kanno. You will find the most eclectic rolls here. Be sure to look at their hours before you go. When you dine in, there's a special treat at the end of your meal. I won't divulge the details. Go and enjoy!
