We had several types of robata (beef tongue; whole squid; japanese egglplant; shishito peppers), and several types of sushi (caterpillar roll, nigiri unagi, nigiri uni with quail egg, nigiri octopus, nigiri ikura with quail egg). Everything was very good or truly excellent. We want to go back, and try both the yellowtail collar, and the short ribs. Price was reasonable for a seafood/sushi place. The robato chef was a delightful man, happy to talk to us despite being a busy night. Fri Nov 06 20:33:37 -0800 2009 16980 D Hound 1 5163100 Good for you! So many people think of Kirala as a sushi place, when in reality it started as primarily offering robata.
