    Food is usually pretty good but the service is really unpredictable, and since it opened years ago it has never been great. The interior needs cleaning and/or updating.

    The owner is a sake expert, so enjoy tasting outstanding offerings. The signature rolls are delicious. The 49er roll is a "must-have".

    As usual, superb food, good service and a great meal all around. This time we had some salmon sashimi which was delicious..fresh and a nice amount for sharing, along with Kakui rolls, french roll, and a simple tempura California role. That, along with a beer and a carafe of the house saki made for great eating. We had dessert this time, which we seldom do....a lovely small half-coconut with coconut ice cream and a hollowed out peach with peach ice cream. Finished the meal beautifully.

    We have eaten at Kakui many times and we have never been disappointed in a single item we ordered. From the most simple piece of sashimi, artfully placed on a plate, to the delicious nigiri, the many sushi rolls, to the larger entrees and the very nice saki choices, we have been delighted at every bite. I recommend Kakui to all my friends and acquaintances.

    Good quality sushi, moderately priced. Service can be slow, meals arriving for part of the party much later than other part (there were 5 of us).

    The service is poor. The restaurant has gone to lots of take out orders so customers who have reserved tables receive slow and poor service. This restaurant has gone way downhill since it opened.
