In our continuing quest for great sushi, we just had to try out King Kong Sushi which has opened up on Bonita and Indian Hill in the former Kinya Sushi place. It had great reviews on yelp, so we gave it a go. The place is lively and welcoming. Whenever someone walks through the door the whole staff gives out a loud hello. The service is quick, the presentation attractive. Business was brisk.
If I had not been to Awesome Sushi in Long Beach and Hayato Sushi on Foothill, I might not have known that this sushi is not the very best. It was good. The Bora Bora roll (no rice!) was very good, but the spider roll (my standard) was just okay. It was large, but the rice was packed so loosely that I couldn't handle it very well, and the inside stuffing of tempura crab was pretty skimpy.
I also had the steamed vegetables which were fine. I am beginning to think that when the sushi chef takes time to prepare your roll (here ours was delivered within 5 minutes - pretty fast), it tastes better.
