Comment: Ordered for pickup. Order ready quick. Restuarant was beautiful on the inside. Food was excellent. You can taste the freshness of the fish and the sushi rice had the perfect level of vinegary-sweetness. Some of the best sushi I have ever eaten.Update:I cannot stress this enough - this is the best sushi on the island. Reminds me of back when Osaka sushi was on Forest almost 20 years ago. I got the homemade crab rangoon. O M G. ridiculous. Best I have ever had any where. Beyond that, I ordered a simple maki entree. Tuna salmon california. Each roll better than the last. Fresh beyond fresh and perfectly balanced. I waited for my takeout while enjoying a drink at the bar (took them 5 minutes to finish so maybe 10-15 from when I ordered). Both the woman behind the bar and the man helping her were polite and engaged. Restuarant is also beautiful inside. Seriously a local gem.

Comment: This place is simply the best sushi restaurant on Staten Island. I would even argue its some of the best Ive had. The yellowtail jalapeño was excellent and just freshly cut, and the rest of our rolls were just as flavorful and fresh. The ambiance is cozy, pretty and peaceful. The staff is very attentive to their customers. I recommend dining in and experiencing it if you havent already. If youre a sushi fan living in New York, this place is a must. Thank you to Nick for the excellent service and recommendations of the sushi list and sake options.

Comment: A very nice and welcome addition to the food scene in the area. Kujira specializes in kushiyaki, that is, skewers. This goes beyond yakitori, as they have grilled vegetables, beef, pork, and mushrooms as well. They also have outdoor seating and the ambience is very relaxed.When I visited, there was no one else there and it was a Sunday. We got seats immediately and ordered some of the lunch specials, which come with an assortment of skewers based on which special you order. Mine had chicken, pork, beef, and three veggie skewers. I also ordered some of their octopus and the Hamachi collar. All of it was very good. The ponzu with the octopus was tangy and the octopus was tender. The Hamachi wasnt as fatty as I wanted but it also wasnt that hard to eat. The skewers come with tare sauce and you can service your own salt and shichimi. It was all delicious.Overall, a great place to try some new foods.

Comment: Newer place took over from another restaurant that closed yrs ago. Kitchen remains the same but entirely new interior, clean lines, softly bright and gently atmospheric.Food was all made to order and delicious. Drinks were solid. Sake was superior.Rolls held together well and sashimi was melt in your mouth fresh.Highly recommended.

Comment: Talk about a hole in the wall lol. Just came across this place on google maps trying to find a japanese restaurant. They just recently opened so I figure what the heck lets give it a shot since Im craving for sushi. Overall lets give it a 5 stars. From service to food to atmosphere Its great. Theres little things about the food that I didnt like but nothing Ill take a star away for. The staff was super nice and they offered us some free drinks as well. We did order a lot though. First we had some sushi, the rice was a little too sweet for my taste but the ingredients was very fresh. Then we had some yakitori which was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection, not over or undercooked. They have a good selection of sake and beer which I appreciate very much lol. Everything was clean and neat. I would go back definitely. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Comment: Bright and clean atmosphere with pleasant seating arrangements and no loud overbearing music. Perfect for a date spot for conversation. Sashimi was very fresh and not fishy at all. The waiter even described what each fish was on the sashimi platter that had unique variety. Yakitori skewers were fantastic, especially with their house blend seasonings to top with. Definitely recommend the chicken thigh skewers and the spicy seasoning. Service was very patient and welcoming, probably one of the best customer service experiences Ive had at a restaurant.

Comment: This is a surprise. I was so skeptical of a sushi/ramen place in Staten island. The place was clean, service was great, and the atmosphere was great- the music was also nice.The sushi was better than any other place Ive been to on the island, and is on par with decent places in the city. I have not tried the ramen, but that will be next.I think this is a full 5 stars for everything, but keep in mind this is comparatively for the area.

Comment: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kujira Japanese Cuisine, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with dim lighting and soft music that set the tone for a relaxing evening. The menu offered an impressive array of dishes, each one bursting with flavor and artfully presented. The service was also outstanding, with our waiter providing attentive and friendly service throughout the evening.Overall, I highly recommend Kujira Japanese Cuisine.
