South Kawa Japanese Restaurant

"The quality was great for its price! I ordered the 20 piece sashimi deluxe and it was only around $33 with thick solid cuts. The salmon, tuna, hamachi, red snapper, and escolar all tastes fresh and melts in your mouth. The raw sweet shrimp/ebi nigiri was okay. I liked the fried head more than the flesh. My only complaint is that the squid/ika nigiri didn't taste fresh; it tasted fishy and rubbery. Usually the good quality squid tastes sweet and slimy the more you chew it. The rice was also a little too dry and hard. The service is good. Ambiance is humble and cute. Overall, great place for sashimi for its price."

"Incredibly good value lunch specials - three rolls for $11?!! Unheard of. Today was the first time I've gotten their bento box, and I was similarly pleased. The chicken & veggie portion was large, the broccoli was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the shumai, California roll, and miso soup were all satisfying. Such a good lunch place in Bridgeport!"

"We had dinner there last night and we were not disappointed! The sushi was fresh and the staff was welcoming. I love their salmon, it was buttery and melt in your mouth! We had the sashimi deluxe, Halloween roll, sweet 16 roll. We will definitely be coming back!"

"I decided to treat my friend out to dinner for his birthday and we decided on SKJR. So, let me get into it. The food was pretty good. I have to say having had sushi and sashimi in Japan in my time I have to say the quality was pretty good, the soft shell crab could have been a little more crispy. The taste was on par. The gyoza was looked okay but, my friend and I both agreed we that it could have been better from an overall cook time stand point. The sushi, sashimi was on point. I definitely would go back just for the sushi. The service was okay. There wasn’t many people inside the shop and the server/waitress didn’t seem very excited to walk us through any of the special items. The atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, was really nice. Everything seemed very clean and the décor really matched the environment. Overall, I would say definitely try the sushi and sashimi!"

"I came in because my friend wanted me to try sushi and this is the best and I was a little unsure. It’s a small place and there was only one other table but the food was so good! They were really generous with the fish in my rolls and the rice wasn’t thick. The Dynamite was crispy and the sweet and spicy was a great combo. I’m gonna come back again."
