Kigawa bistro is a hidden gem in San Leonardo. The restaurant was quiet and the staff was very friendly. The food - My friend and I came here for lunch and decided to try the all you can eat option. We tried many different type of dishes and they were all very tasty. There was a lot of variety on the menu and all the seafood tasted very fresh! Our favorite items were the oyster, shrimp, scallops, and unagi fried rice. The unagi fried rice is a MUST TRY!! Sadly, our stomach wasn't big enough to try everything on the menu so we would definitely come back again!

Craving Japanese food to go. We ordered a Tonkatsu Soup Ramen with an extra egg and spinach and Shoyu Soup Ramen. Both were delicious and the broth was flavorful.

Another good family dinner. My mother in law had a hard time ordering wine. After talking to the other waitress, it seems our waitress didn't know what wine was or didn't know the English word for wine. The other waitress had to explain to her what we wanted and called it something else. In the end my mother in law got her glass of white wine. A must for dinner. All but, one time they didn't serve wine. It was almost a deal breaker. She's used to having wine at dinner. We saw someone brought their own bottle of sake. Maybe we should just carry our own bottle of wine just in case. They redecorated since last time we were there. They removed the room divider near the bathroom and put up a fabric room divider on the door so the entrance to the bathroom is disguised. With out the room divider and their bookshelf it really opens up the room. It looks so much bigger with more tables. They got rid of the long table too. Now they just have 4 seater tables. I assume if you have a larger party you can put two tables together. They also add fabric runners on the ceiling with a Japanese motif. They also hung lanterns. It's really nice. They still kept the plastic pumpkin basket on the sushi bar along with the waving cat. Dinner was good. I ordered the bento box. I had the California roll and fried tofu appetizer . It comes with miso soup a salad with superb dressing. I believe it's miso dressing and rice. Service was good other than the miscommunication about the wine. They took our empty dishes when they brought the different courses. There was only 2 other parties there while we were there. It was a very relaxed environment. We weren't rushed out. We never have a problem getting a table. We were a Friday around 6:30 p.m. They also have their own private lot. There was plenty of parking space this time. Some times it fills up, but we've always gotten a spot, sometimes the last spot, but that still counts.

Honestly, we had decent service and food was tasty; however, I looked at other tables and the tables were occupied for a protracted amount of time due to only one server during dinner time and orders were slow to get to their tables. Two sushi chefs who I'm not sure speak any English were not very helpful when I approached them for assistance while the server was in the kitchen prepping bento boxes. Honestly can't blame the server as she assisted us whenever we waved her down, but she definitely needed HELP. The four of us shared a dinner bento of Kalbi, Chicken Katsu, and Tempura. It was very good with two nicely done strips of Kalbi, tempura that was crisp and hot, and one of the better Chicken Katsus that we've had in a long time. We also ordered a Sushi/Sashimi/Roll platter that consisted of 9 pieces of chefs' choice nigiri, 15 slices of five kinds of fish (salmon, maguro, albacore, toro, Haimachi) and three rolls. We thought it was a good deal and the fish was fresh. Maybe our timing was right as we got there before most of the crowd and ordered quickly. Oh well, get some help as the food is good.
