Kisho Japanese Restaurant - Japanese restaurant in Santa Clarita - 23430 Valencia Blvd, USA

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kisho Japanese Restaurant, and my experience far surpassed my expectations from a previous visit several years ago. The attentive staff expertly managed our stroller amidst the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere. The culinary creations were truly exceptional, justifying the reasonable price. While there were unforeseen shortages of wine and beer due to the enthusiastic weekend crowd, the staff promptly resolved the matter. The ambiance was perfectly suited for intimate conversations among a small group, maintaining an ideal balance between not being overly subdued and not being excessively boisterous. Kisho Japanese Restaurant is wholeheartedly recommended, and I look forward to returning for another enjoyable dining experience.

It was nice to find a similar restaurant like Benihana in Santa Clarita. The place looked great and we had a little wait to get seated for a party of four. However we were seated first but served last as in the other party we shared a table with were served drinks first and when it came to food I personally was seated throughout the cooking watching the other party be served multiple meals. From shrimps to scallops, to fish, and their ame the beef chops, vegetables... Until the very end of dinner when I got to be served the spaghetti and chicken right before the chef left the table. It was more like safe the best for the last but that's not what it was. The food was under cooked and plain. My kid whom I had hoped to eat some spaghetti with was already asking if we could 'go home' cause probably he felt left out too. I personally saw this as absolute server's bias. Where certain category of people are well catered for simply because the server knows there will be better tips from the kind of food ordered. This seemed like that kind of place. Correct me if I am wrong. Even an ex server didn't hesitate to fill me in more about these kind of treatments.

I can only speak for the sushi, and it was just OK. Nothing to write home about. I feel it catered more to an American palette, so those who seek a traditional or authentic sushi restaurant may not be satisfied. There was a confusing mishmash of Asian decor ranging anywhere from Chinese lion dogs to Naruto. Service was great, no complaints.

I've been going to Kishos for 18 years. I was on a first name basis with Chef Ishy many years ago. But within the past 2 years I've noticed a steep decline in the service and food here. Just finished a 'meal' and there were 8 things wrong with our party's orders. Requests not fulfilled/ not entered in the system. Some items were sent back twice and then cancelled after repeat failures. Our server had zero personal skills, seemed like she had no interest in being there nor helping customers, and lied about messing up some of our orders. All I have to ask is, where did your pride go at Kishos? Today was an embarrassment for the place I used to enjoy treating my friends to the most.

Wow! Those gigantic balls of fried ice cream are bomb! It's tempura ice cream on the menu. I chose green- tea- flavored ice cream, fried in this yummy tempura mix. The tempura coating came out crunchy and flaky. I don't know about you, but it was flavorful and the mix of different textures was a good experience. Each ball of fried ice cream is bigger than my fist, served two of us. One order may serve 4 unless you scream for ice cream.

Love going to Kisho's. Service was strange today. 1st time in 15 years.

Our soup was brought cold but the main course was good , it would have been more pleasant if there was some kind of background music .
