Nice atmosphere and clean. Friendly staff but busy due to the excellence of cuisine. Well prepared and presented sushi that comes with REAL AND FRESHLY GRATED wasabi. I do not think you get this anywhere else in town which nudged me to give five stars.

This continues to be a solid place to eat. They open on Saturdays at 4:30. This was our second time trying to get in because the first time we arrived at 5 and there was a 30 minute wait. Yesterday we were in line before they opened and yay!! We got in! Wonderful fresh sushi!

I got the Sashimi Bento box to go. It was great, even the tempura was crispy after a ten minute drive back. I want to go back a couple times a week and try everything on the menu.

Boyfriend and I were in town for the grand opening of Daiso and decided to stop by Sushi Kuu after doing extensive research on yelp. And it was worth it! Probably my favorite sushi spot in the Central Valley now? Will have to come again to confirm. Food: 5/5 Appetizer: potato croquette (so good! Would come back just for these!) Nigiri: Otoro (decent), Hokkaido scallop (decent); House Cured Mackerel (fav!), Amberjack (yum!); I'm picky with otoro and scallops which are typically my favorites but they are decent for Central Valley. Sushi: We got a pick two, shrimp tempura and spicy tuna (both good basic rolls) Service: 4/5 Good service. We were there on Saturday around 11:30am. They were already busy! Everyone was very nice. One of the waitresses didn't really know the menu, and said she was new. I needed to repeat my order a few times but maybe I just talked too fast. Ambiance: 5/5 Nice interior. Very warm and inviting!

Favorite sushi and ramen in town! The spicy katsu pork ramen was so flavorful and yummy! Highly recommend the heat and firebomb sushi roll! I would skip the teriyaki chicken next time as I wouldn't recommend it. Everything was great just my personal preference. The staff was so nice and attentive! Which made our experience so enjoyable. The family can't wait to go back.

Wow! This sushi was amazing. I was in town and was very impressed when we came by to try some of the rolls! First off the tempura was perfect. Very crunchy and delicious. My favorite item was the new new, it was crispy rice with spicy tuna. We also got a crunch roll and Harley roll. The Harley was so zesty, I hadn't tried anything like it before. The quality of fish was fresh and very good, the service was great too. It was a Thursday night and very busy, but we were seated within 25 minutes.

The best Sushi you can find in all of California! Albert sources the best quality fish that's just incomparable to anywhere else! Our favorite the O-Toro, just melts in your mouth. The ambiance is so beautiful and they have the friendliest staff. We've really enjoyed coming here over the years!

This is the place to go to if you are looking for authentic Japanese food! It is fortunate for the Visalia, CA area to have Albert (Chef & Owner) to settle in Visalia, CA after stints in Las Vegas and New York! For authentic there isn't a Japanese restaurant between the Bay Area or L.A.! I always sit at the sushi bar to converse with Albert on what is fresh (most coming from Japan) that day and visiting with other Diners. One time there was someone visiting from San Francisco and it was his first time and he commented that there was no place in S.F. that compared to Sushi Kuu!! Albert brings in so much variety of fresh fish that every time is an Experience!! He makes 3 Specialty hand rolls that are served more open like a taco because he wants you to see what's inside. Albert makes all his own sauces and dips himself (not sharing with the Staff) because he wants to keep them "secret"! He makes his own house made wasabi and sho-yu! I don't usually order the rolls but I do recommend the Green Goblin!! It is a different roll you can't get everywhere! It has salmon in it (I don't care for farmed salmon- I prefer wild caught) So I substitute King Salmon instead and named it "King Goblin" and both are topped with jalapeño and a secret light citrus sauce! So good!!Everything tastes so flavorful and fresh that it's hard to have favorites! I'm posting a picture of his "Special List" to show the variety that he brings in mostly from Japan that Albert fillets himself and the varieties change by Season so try something while it's available!! Try the Super Oh-Toro "seared" sashimi style! It will literally melt in your mouth and by searing it - it brings the oil and flavor out! Also Albert makes a red oil with crunchy that you add to the fish! Oh so good!! If you are a sushi & sashimi fanatic or even ramen lover come here! The aju or broth he makes for his ramen and noodles are flavorful! Sushi Kuu also has many different beer from Japan and a large selection of sake!! Sit at the bar and meet Albert so you can appreciate his craft! "Tell him Tony sent you and he will know that you are a connoisseur of sushi delicacy Kam-pai!!!

Best Sushi in Visalia and best Ramen in the valley. This is one of the few spots that offer fresh Oh Toro, melt in your mount wagu of tuna. You will want to order a separate order for everybody at the table as it is hard to share! Read a lot of stellar reviews about the ramen so I ordered the pork belly ramen. Noodles were cooked perfectly, broth was rich and tasty, and the pork belly was perfection. Is it the best in the valley, can't say I have found any better Nice location on Main Street, parking can be tricky but persistence will pay off. Get there early to avoid the line, very popular spot!

Per usual this place does not disappoint. Always busy so make sure you come right at 4:30 when it opens since they don't take reservations! The servers here are kind and attentive and the atmosphere is always buzzing! The food is consistently delicious! We got the pork ramen, the Katsu ramen, all the nigiri sushi, spicy cucumber salad, and more A great place to celebrate special occasions ~
