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.

If I could rate higher than five stars, I would. Not only the best sushi and Japanese restaurant in Sarasota, but possibly the best in Florida. Food is always fresh and of great quality, and sushi options are plentiful! The sashimi is also delicious with no seasonings required for it to taste good. You can taste the high quality in the fish! Their non-raw fish options are good as well, I recommend the beef bone ramen. With all of this amazing food, Kiyoshi's still feels like a relaxing family run restaurant. With high-quality food, a friendly atmosphere, and prices that don't break the bank for sushi, Kiyoshi's is the place to go in Sarasota for a special event or birthday.

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…

This place is great. We went on our last night in the area and really enjoyed the food and the service. The tuna bon bon and Siesta Beach Roll were awesome. We will definitely return here the next time we are in the area.

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.
