Kiyoshi's Sushi - Sarasota

Always high quality food that's delicious and great service makes this my happy place. A few of my favorites are the Golden triangle, Sumiso tuna appetizer, and anything blue crab. My husband had the bon bon scallops (not pictured here) and it was fresh lovely and creamy.

Best Sushi on the Gulfcoast. Possibly anywhere, but I know that’s a stretch, so many fish joints are worthy at least equally. The quality of fish is due to Kiyoshi who is personally responsible for the selections for the day. Hot Sake to start, then highly recommend the following: Blue Crab Salad Nigiri, Scallop Salad Nigiri, Sea Urchin add Quail Egg, Blue Fin Fatty Tuna Sashimi (amazing), Scallop Sashimi (so sweet melts in your mouth), Golden Triangle Roll (highly recommend similar to spicy tuna roll but better), Salomon Skin Hand Roll, and Lazy Sea Bass (Wowzer). Sprinkled in Salmon, Yellowtail, Tuna Sushi for the table. The only knock, the atmosphere is somewhat bland, but the food quality is unbeatable. Enjoy soon I believe Kiyoshi closes December 31…

As a Californian who was raised on sushi, I must say Kiyoshi's would satisfy most any snobby California palette. I've tried more than a few sushi restaurants in Sarasota and Kiyoshi's is my hands down favorite. Fresh and creative. I just had their special, it was a sea bass roll (forgot what they called it) and it was fabulous. Sarasota isn't much of a sushi town so I am glad to have found Kiyoshi's; it does the trick.

Don’t let this little restaurant and average appearance fool you, as the food is truly fantastic. I went on a slow Tuesday night and ordered the Kai Sansai salad as an appetizer and was completely blown away which I washed down with a large hot saki. I also had the Toro and Yellow tail. Both extremely fresh. The main course I had the specialty Cactus roll. Which has a corn crumb wrap of the tuna along with various spicy flavors including jalapeños and raspberry sauce. Not too spicy. A masterpiece! The large meal was delicious and I was completely satisfied and felt great afterwards. The chef and owner gave me a kind greeting as I left. He clearly is a master chef. It’s out of the way but worth the trip. I noticed patrons had given this place 4.5 stars which it totally deserved.

We came in, cute little place. i took one bite of sushi and had to write this review. it?s literally mouth watering and delicious. fresh. i love it here. def coming more.
