Flawless Fun at Kiyosuzu

It's always a good time going to Kiyosuzu in Arcadia for some solid and authentic Japanese food. Although a humble little restaurant, the service and quality is impeccable. What really makes this restaurant one of my all-time favorites is that for the premium quality of the food served, the prices are actually very good and affordable. Here's a run down of what my sister and I usually order when we come here.

We like to start off with an order of salmon sashimi, because we can never go wrong with that.

Look at that generous portion size! Our other regulars include their super fresh uni sushi, sweet shrimp, and yellow tail hand roll. Compared with other generic sushi restaurants, Kiyosuzu puts their best foot forward not being stingy with their portions.

We also tried their albacore sashimi for the first time. I love that even though we usually stick to salmon or yellowtail when we go to sushi restaurants to ensure that we get super tender and melt-in-your-mouth fish, we can be more adventurous at Kiyosuzu.

Lastly, we like to end all our meals here with their amazing tempura ice cream (as expected!). I love that their layer of tempura has bits of pound cake in it. Yummy! Not to mention, as with their other dishes, their scoop of ice cream is HUGE.

BONUS: Also, if you have not tried it before, be SURE to try out their one dish that is a soup with rice and uni. I'm not really sure what it's called, but we just ask the waiters for their uni soup rice every time and they know exactly what we're referring to. Their soup is incredibly tasty without tasting like it's infused with MSG. Also, the chunks of uni everywhere make the soup even more delectable.

So what I'm basically saying is that, you're missing out if you're not frequenting Kiyosuzu, especially after this post! My only warning is to maybe avoid this restaurant if it's during conventional dinner hours on weekends, because it does pretty packed.
