This is our favorite sushi place! We absolutely love it here! The staff is amazing, so friendly and helpful. The food is always good and fresh. And my kids love the atmosphere.. 5 stars every time we go!
Very good sushi and great, friendly service in a low-key atmosphere. We had the hamachi nigiri and spicy tuna, hoka salmon, and “Danville” rolls, all of which were excellent and very fresh. The salmon teriyaki, shrimp lollipop appetizer, and Korean pancake dessert were also delicious. Looking forward to coming back to this local, family owned sushi spot!
SOLID sushi spot in downtown Danville. The fam has gotten plenty of take-outs from this sushi spot in the past, but this was my first time dining in. There was one chef and one waitress, but it never got crowded enough to feel like we weren’t being tended to. Favorite choice of the day was their “I don’t know*” roll. Basically, you list out any dietary or preference restrictions, and the chef will make you something! It was awesome. Will definitely return again. 5 stars!
Was looking for a lunch spot on a Saturday and stumbled across Kibo Sushi. We had a very positive experience. Food was very fresh, prepared well and tasted great. The portion sizes were also bigger than we anticipated. I definitely will go back.
They had a nice selection of things to eat! We had miso soup and gyozas to start, a few different rolls and then a chefs inspiration roll...named forsomething they make on the fly right there. It was delicious, and is my picture for the night! Everything was fresh, looked-smelled-tasted great!
AMAZING sushi, super friendly people and they gave us great recommendations. Stumbled on it after going to Mount Diablo, definitely worth every penny!
Came here for my birthday last night and it’s now my new favorite place. If you order the ‘I don’t know’ The chef will create a personalized sushi roll just for you. It was honestly some of the best sushi I’ve ever had.
