sushi kuni

so i ordered from sushi kuni a couple weeks ago from skip the dishes, was craving some sushi and i wanted to try a different place. we got veggie tempura, shrimp tempura and i got tuna and salmon sashimi and my husband got a couple rolls. i have to say it was very good. so yesterday i had a craving for seafood and i thought of sushi kuni right away and i would be dining alone, so i ordered the veggie tempura and shrimp tempura and the same sashimi, it was wonderful, the pieces of fish were plump and tender and melted in my mouth just like it should. the tempura shrimp are big yet light and the veggie tempura has a great selection in it for veggies. i look forward to visiting the restaurant soon to try other things.


finally went and ate in the restaurant last night for my birthday. i had called to see if i needed a reservation and she suggested i make one because it can be busy, so i did. walked in and it wasnt busy at all. waited for my friends to show up and we ordered, i got 9 pieces of sashimi, it was so good, big thick pieces of fish, so yummy! and i got shrimp tempura, veggie tempura and i wanted to try the calamari, it all came out fast and hot. calamari wasnt what i thought it was going to be, it was sitting in a sauce so we had to eat it fast because it was becoming soggy. everyone elses rolls came out fast except for my boyfriends, the waitress missed one roll and when he brought it up to her she seemed pissed off a bit. she was very pleasant, like she didnt want to be working. we were the last ones to leave, went to pay and they just seemed not interested in saying good bye and thank you, which i find to be rude, most sushi places the chefs will say thank you when you leave but they didnt. we dropped a 100$ alittle more smiles and a more welcoming atmosphere would be nice. thats my only beef.

sushi kuni is top notch. ended up here after my first choice was closed... and i'm glad i did! sushi was amazing. reasonably priced, large portions, and excellent service. modern and clean establishment to boot. can't go wrong. i promise!

what is wrong with you people?!. this was the worst sushi i've ever had. i read the reviews on yelp and chose it. i only ordered nigiri, as i always do anywhere, and it was awful. yellowtail is my favorite, and i left it. these reviews lead me to believe that grand rapidians don't know sushi!! or only order salmon & tuna rolls. further, when you order 10 pieces of nigiri, then leave 5 and the waitress says, "oh you're full? would you like to take it home?" and you say, "no, thank you," something is wrong. bad service, too. i paid for a terrible meal. won't ever go back. try kumo in kalamazoo...even on the $1 days, it's excellent.

i’ll be the first to admit that i’m perhaps not the best person to write a review of a sushi restaurant since, well, i don’t eat fish and there are only so many vegetarian options on the menu. the biggest

this place is awesome! cute inside and has very friendly staff and good service. not to mention that the sushi is amazing! i highly recommend this place.

lovely place. i took a big group here for my birthday and it was a great experience. great food, pleasant atmosphere and reasonable prices.

a year ago: in restaurant, food service was horrid. after being seated, it took about 20 minutes for a server to be assigned to us. at the time, there were only 2 other small tables and 2 servers on duty. after ordering, the wait time for food was about 35-40 minutes. however, the white dragon role was amazing. the quality of sushi was great. we then opted to use skip not to long after and was pleased.

today: we used skip to order. we were extremely disappointed with service and taste. we ordered 3 special roles and only received 2. we called the restaurant and apparently they had forgotten to pack the last roll with our order and said the skip courier should have told us. we're kind of glad that they did forget because the sushi is subpar from what it use to be. we ordered an alaskan roll (taste was not consistent throughout), a sea dragon roll (very fishy), and a t.n.t roll (not received). we will definitely not be returning.

consistantly good. each time i go it has been good. service is fast and has a good selection. lunch boxes are a good value- plenty of food.

we go every week. sushi kuni has become our go to sushi place.... we go at least once a week! we love it. everything is fresh and delicious and very very reasonable priced.

we strongly recommend!

just awful. i have to admit that my husband and i were huge fans of shogun, but when we discovered that it had been bought out and reopened as sushi kuni, we thought we'd give it a try. we had certain favorites we often ordered at shogun and decided to try those instead of the sushi.

big mistake.

the "hibachi chicken" was laughable--it was like something from a school lunch program, with soggy vegetables, tough chicken, and drowning in a teriyaki-style sauce.

the shrimp tempura tasted like it had been purchased from some restaurant supplier and re-heated. the batter was panko-laden and had an off flavor; but the worst part was that the shrimp had not been properly cleaned and still had its intestinal track intact. panko and poop is not a great combination.

we will never go here again.

great food. i have tried almost every roll they have to offer and found that they are all awesome. the food is always fresh and the service is fantastic. by far the best place for sushi i have found in the city so far

great food great service!. may 5th was the first day i had been to sushi kuni since the reopening from shogun. i went in with my husband to try some dishes that were my favorites from shogun, as well as experimenting with new ones.
i would have to say that simple changes have made the restaurant's ambiance totally different and fresh.
the menu is full of rolls from traditional, to new fusion styles that have not yet been introduced to the grand rapids area.
the entree i ordered (chicken teriyaki) was delicious as well as aesthetically pleasing. the intricate details they put into each meal seemed unreal for the price. the rolls i ordered, which were recommended from my waitress were the kuni roll and the no name roll, and they were so tasty!

as for the review from gr diner , i don't understand what they are talking about, because one of the dishes sushi kuni does not serve is hibachi dishes (as i am looking at the take out menu). i also tried to order a hibachi dinner, but instead was referred to a teriyaki dinner instead. they are probably mistaken from the chicken teriyaki they ordered, which would be cooked in teriyaki sauce. but to each, their own.
to summarize, i enjoyed shogun very much, and was sad to see it go, but am happy to find a great new restaurant to enjoy my sushi. i really like sushi kuni and i will be going back soon with family and friends!

great sushi! the ambiance was a tad lacking, service is mediocre, but the sushi was great!
of note is the alaska roll - i cannot recommend it highly enough. it was simply delicious; the cream sausage made it amazing.
go try it!

the reason why sushi kuni isnt good no more is because of the owner change and the chefs are new too. the old chefs quit when the owner's changed. it was one of my top 3 in winnipeg before. it was sold about 3 months ago. they changed some rolls and the service is so slow.

the sushi is awesome here, i was a little let down last time but ill put that down to been busy. the rolls are delicious and flavorful. you can taste the freshness of the rice, not stale like other places in the city. value is good as you definitely get what you pay for here.im picky about sushi and i find this is my best place for sushi in the city

only two things that are a big put off
1) the place really,really needs proper ventilation. feels like eyes are burning due to smoke in this restaurant.and has been like that on numerous occasions.
2) it is very small and only caters about 30 max.
