This place is truly good, and consistent. As a former New Yorker who's had a lot of sushi, I recommend Kawa with confidence--especially the caterpillar roll, Mexican roll, jalapeño poppers, sushi pizza and spicy mushroom soup. I keep coming back for more and my family loves it as well. Order up!
The food was delicious, service was good. Our little diners would have loved some ketchup but there was none to be found. The setting is small and intimate.
Acceptable. Ordered online. Slightly tricky ordering on website with a phone. Some difficulty navigating. Text very small and unreadable. Can't click and manipulate screen easily. Can not make initial screen text and images larger. At bottom left, you can click 'pick up with Kawa.' Options for third party delivery vendors like GRUBHUB, you see on the opposite side, at the bottom left of the screen. You can also click on the screen and get to another screen, which has 'Online Order' at the top of the page, but it might take you a while recognizing it Clicking it then takes you to the default lunch menu. It lists lunch items like Ramen and Lunch Special Rolls, but on weekends the lunch special (2 or 3 rolls at a reduced price) is not available; you have to order each roll at a separate charge. At the top, you see 'Click to switch Menu,' but clicking on it doesn't work well. Instead you have to click on the actual words 'Lunch Menu.' I think. This gives you the second option of 'ALL DAY MENU,' which you can then click on instead. Sounds confusing doesnt it? This took me a long time to figure out. I kept clicking and clicking and nothing happened. Maybe I am just an idiot. Hopefully these instructions will save you 5 minutes of frustration. I almost gave up. Order was ready relatively quickly, and I received notice by text. The restauraunt is in a small area off a busy two way road amidst several other stores with standard parking spaces shared by all the businesses. Pickup was easy. Sushi was standard fare and acceptable. Neatly arranged, tasty enough. Shrimp tempura sushi was particularly good. Generous with the ginger slices. Came also with the standard soy sauce and wasabi too. Nonstandard were the chopsticks. But there was something about the morphology. I had a hard time using them as it was difficult to get an easy pincer grip. Again, maybe I am just a chopstick idiot. Not as good as Issho Sushi and Steakhouse in Exton, at least for takeout.
Kawa Japanese Cuisine is nice Japanese restaurant that is suitable for a casual sushi experience. I came here on a Saturday night, and it wasn't too busy. I made reservations just in case, but it wasn't really needed. The staff were attentive and nice, seating us quickly. The quality of the sushi is decent, as I tried it through their chirashi bowl. It was relatively fresh, though I wouldn't say it's as flavorful as a higher end sushi restaurant. The price was pretty comparable to other Japanese restaurants outside of Philly, but the location is a lot more convenient, as you don't have to deal with parking like you would in the city. The one thing I didn't like was the water sound that the sound system makes. I believe they're trying to emulate relaxing waterfall sounds, but instead it sounded like a heavy rainstorm. We actually looked outside to see if it was indeed raining hard (and it wasn't).
It was easy to get a table here. We ordered a special app w two raw ousters dressed in rice vinegar, ginger, some row. It was quite a treat. Then we split the sushi sashimi platter for two. Lots to enjoy and quite satisfying. Attentive service and lively atmosphere w a fun jumbo video screen showing famous chefs buying and tasting from large fosh in a market of fish-mongers.
Love this place! Staff is always nice and the food tastes so fresh. Prices are good! And it's a nice surprise that the interior was so nice.
Had a sushi hankering but also wanted to make sure the non-sushi family members had options. We were all happy: my sushi maki rolls were fresh and tasty, my son's veggie bao sandwich was delicious, my other son enjoyed the fried rice, and my wife had a great plate of hibachi chicken (which supplied the fried rice for my other kid). Portions were generous and the service was prompt and friendly. Dining area was really lovely, works for date night or family meals. Will return again!
Food: salmon lover, soft crab bao, spicy tuna and salmon Service: quick 20-40 mins when we order togo Ambiance: interior is cute Cost: basic rolls $6-10 very affordable Parking: lot is hard to get out of Overall: my go to sushi spot, every roll/dish I've gotten has been fantastic and tastes great.
Delicious sushi and great service. Cozy and nicely decorated too. Crispy chicken bun was tasty too.
I always like to try a new sushi spot to add to my go to list so I had to hit up Kawa. I really enjoyed the yellowtail collar it was seasoned well with a hint of curry which was interesting. The rest of the sushi was ok. Prices are pretty inline with sushi fare. I liked the interior dining room, quaint, cute and makes you feel like you may be in Japan. I'd go back and dine in next time.
