Kibo Sushi

First time here as a local in Danville, and went on a Friday night that is super busy, with at least four tables reserved (no one sitting), with tables full of patrons, and appeared to be either behind in service already, with 2 servers and 2 sushi chefs. We got seated within 5 minutes, and our order was taken after 15 minutes, and our order came 30+ minutes later. More people came and were willing to wait, so we thought we will give it a try, despite the wait. Ordered Cali roll, dragon roll (which in my opinion was a small serving/with smaller cut rolls) and we ordered with real crab too, which is an additional $4. Had the chirashi, and also seemed like a smaller serving of fish compared to the norm around the area. For the price (and I get inflation), we expected more for the buck.

I ordered takeout after a long tournament down the street at San Ramon Valley High School. Based on the great reviews snd location, I decided to give it a try. I ordered 2 rolls, rainbow roll and a special roll they made me since they do not have cherry blossom or orange blossom rolls. I also got an 8 piece sashimi (tuna/salmon) and salmon teriyaki. When I picked up the food the total was $100 and change. I noticed the 8 piece sashimi was $35 and thought, damn thats expensive! Anyhow once I unpacked everything we were ready to eat. Rolls were pretty good but on the smaller side. Sashimi was thick cut and good as well. The salmon teriyaki the hubs said was okay, so I am guessing nothing special. He had to scoop off the pickled radish on top and pour the sauce before eating. Overall a good place if craving Japanese in the area but nothing that would compel me to return.

Another one I really wanted to like. But, alas this is a mediocre Japanese restaurant in a very competitive environment. The food was ok. Nothing much to write home about. But, I do love to support my local restaurants -- so we gave this one a try. The sushi was good, and fresh. The Ramen was mediocre at best. We had someone at our table that only eats white meat chicken (yes I know...) and Kibo could not accommodate him. No chicken teriyaki or chicken Katsu for him! He ended up with rice and gyoza and those were good. Goyza looked delish and correctly fried. All in all, ok location, cute (ish) place, but the food was just average.

We love the Danville Roll! Service is so attentive and kind. They are kid friendly with the chopstick helpers. We enjoyed sitting outside with the heaters. Only con for me were the restrooms. Dirty restrooms are really a turn off! Sticky floors from the hallway that leads you to the restroom and in the restroom.

First time trying Kibo Sushi. Sake donburi and sushi rolls were delicious! We got the Kibo, Rainbow & Danville rolls loved them all! Great service & very cool bar area. Try it you'll like it!

Great sushi spot for lunch. I'm surprised this place isn't more crowded. The quality and portions were on point. I got the lunch set D and subbed Cali roll for tuna. Came with poke, roll, and two pieces of salmon perfectly crispy on the inside and slightly under in the center--delicious. The service was great, and the place had only a few tables. They took my toddler's roll back and the sushi chef sliced it thinly so he could eat it. This was so appreciated, and something I want to do from now on (so annoying, I know). I would definitely come back here for a nice sushi lunch.

I had the tempura and it was amazing. It was well-prepared and incredibly light with a crispy texture. I'd have to say that the freshness of the ingredients played a crucial role in the overall flavor and enjoyment of the dish. The natural flavors of the ingredients along with the light tempura covering just had the right balance of texture and flavor. I will be a regular and am looking forward to trying new dishes.

So glad we checked this place out! Definitely ranking high in my possibly 'go to' places for Japanese food yet! Here's why:1- parking is not an issue2- Service was great3- FOOD was AWESOME! Had the Kibo Roll, which did NOT disappoint. Yum food! Then we chose to be adventurous and chose "I don't know - Chef inspired" roll! Oh my goodness!!! I was simply asked what kind of fish I like, so I replied, Hamachi & Unagi. It turned out to be a remarkable sushi roll... it was so good, I can't even describe it! Then I watched the chef (we were seated at the bar) create this very elaborate creation called Uni Butter on scallop! It looked so good, we just had to try it, so we did! OMGosh is all I can say!Then I finished with a hefty bowl of Green Tea ice cream.4- great sake - had Dassai 45 - Nigori5- Ambiance was just so delightful, especially with the chefs' & server's friendliness. The shelf behind the bar show casing the chef's action figures are definitely worth checking out!We will definitely go back! Thank you, Brandon

Review a month overdue. This is now my favorite sushi spot in the area. Little quaint place that gets really busy. The owner Brandon and his wife Unsa (not sure if I spelled it right) are absolutely the greatest! Welcoming, attentive, and the food is sooooo darn delicious. From their pork belly to hamachi, and all the rolls we tried. Especially the Marie roll and Isabel roll..everything ordered was yummm!! Definitely a place I shall return to! Thank yous Brandon and Unsa!!

This place is fantastic. All of the food is amazing. Not just the sushi but all the kitchen items too! We usually end up here once a week or every other week because it's just that good. The service is really good and the ambiance is comfortable. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Danville
