This is the Kanji Box. For their grand opening from July 3rd-6th, it is half off. It has hibachi, tuna, salmon, scallop & uni.
This is the unagi Don plate. They give a very good portion of it and it's definitely worth the price.

Food and service were both great. The rolls are delicious - we ordered Toro Heaven, Double Double and salmon lover. All three were excellent. Their fish katsu bento box and shrimp tempura was delicious too.

Location: Easy to navigate to and parking wasn't so bad. I went during down time so there was plenty of parking available. Just in case it does get busy, they're still a lot of parking space on the street.Interior: The restaurant delivered a cozy ambiance to the entire room, right as you walk in. There were plenty of seating areas and an island sushi bar where you can watch the sushi Chef make your food right on the spot depending on what you got.Customer service: As my friends and I walked in, we were greeted with exceptional customer service by Steve. He not only greeted us, but immediately sat us down and took our order right when were ready. On top of that, he recommended his best sellers and took care of us the whole night. Steve was also a great conversationalist and got our food out right away within a timely fashion.Food: I honestly cannot remember the exact names of the sushi dishes, but I made sure to take pictures. Each dish was made FRESH. This is really important, especially for a Sushi restaurant. My favorite was definitely the one with spicy tuna and jalapeño! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SALMON EGGS BENEDICT HERE! So delicious.I'm definitely coming back to eat here again.

A new Japanese sushi restaurant recently opened up in Palo Alto and offers a huge variety of options to choose from.Kanji Sushi is located in a small, random plaza in Palo Alto. Their menu is quite extensive and offers sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, ramen, bentos, and more! I opted to try the Chef's Special Couple Boat (serves 2) and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the raw fish. Their prices aren't too bad either, especially for Palo Alto. A good place to check out if you're in the area but not so amazing that you should go out of your way for.ORDER:|-| Chef's Special Couple Boat (for two) ($99) - comes with 8 pieces of nigiri, 9 pieces of sashimi, 1 rainbow roll, and 2 cold appetizers

Came here for a family Christmas celebration. The best thing about this place is that it has its own private parking lot. We order a party boat, some rolls, kaki fry, chicken karage, chicken katsu and tonkatsu ramen. i didn't get a chance to try all the other food at the other end of the table but the hubs said the sashimi had a good texture but no flavor which makes me suspect it was frozen. The tonkatsu ramen cha siu was not very tender but the meat had a good smokey flavor. Oh the unagi nigiri was tender so that was probably the best thing. Everything else just tasted eh. The chicken katsu was overly fried but it was a lot. We also had some matcha cheesecake but it tasted frozen. It would have been nice if they had taken it out of the freezer earlier so it didn't taste like frozen ice cream.I was a bit unhappy with the service as they didn't refill our tea very much at first until we asked them. I inaccurately assumed they would charge us a surcharge for our party of 11 but they didn't so I couldn't blame them for the service. It's a nicely lit place with regular type Japanese food. If you're looking for parking and Japanese food in the area it would be okay. They were very nice and I feel bad for not being able to give them a higher rating but hopefully they'll improve and it'll be a better dining experience for others.

Overall great food! Ambiance can be a little better! Service and staff were super kind, quick, and attentive!

Came back here again cause we were craving sushi. This time, I ordered the usual kanji roll, avocado roll, rainbow roll, and the crunchy spicy tuna roll along with a miso soup and a sunset lemonade drink. The best ones were the kanji roll and the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The avocado roll wasn't my favorite as the unagi were fishy for me, and it was pretty thin and small stated by my parents. The rainbow roll had a variety of fish on top, and that wasn't too bad. Miso soup was good as usual. I find that the blue lemonade is a bit better than the sunset lemonade. Today's service was quick and speedy. Rolls came out pretty fast, and they all were laid out on the table at once.

*First time review, dined indoors*Ordered the tonkatsu ramen and Godzilla roll. Interior very nice, clean, big, parking is strange-- giant tree in the middle of the lot, no possible way of pulling out without hitting it?Godzilla roll is teeny tiny and mostly rice (see photo). While I appreciate the aesthetic of the plate with an orchid, natural ginger that isn't dyed, would be nice to have a bigger size. Another reviewer said they provide miso soup and salad with your order, that's false. Tonkatsu ramen. Sadly this is top 3 of the worst ramens I've ever had. Flavorless water broth (see photo for clear broth), pencil thin noodles... such a shame. I've been to many ramen places in the bay and this one isn't it. Perhaps the other rolls are good?Service: couldn't understand waitress well. She looked puzzled when I didn't want mushrooms, bamboo and seaweed. Asked me 5 times if I'm sure. Came back 2 mins after walking away to ask me again. I want to call out that they removed the Tonkatsu off my bill, appreciate it.. but they didn't like my feedback of the nearly untouched ramen. Generous 3 stars for assisting with my bill.

Came here on 7/30 with Christy and Allen!We arrived 5:30, and closer to 6:30 the place was about 2/3 full. Service: super attentive and sweet! They came around often to fill our cups. And took time to explain what cuts were in our fish boat. We ordered the boat for 2 which I think is quite accurate of the quantity. The quality of the fish were all fantastic! I was very surprised at how buttery and soft everything tasted. Going to come here again soon for more sashimi! I can't speak on the other dishes yet, but 5 stars for the quality of fish. PS: they have a private room that can fit up to 14 people. I would probably suggest no more than 10 since it could be cramped. A round table would have been nicer. PPS: parking lot is pretty small. Beware!
