Routinely voted one of the best Japanese restaurants in the East Bay, Kirala offers unique and classic sushi creations, tasty treats from the robata grill and other Japanese dishes. Choose to be seated at the bar for sushi and grill items or hold out for a seat in the dining area for a chance at the entire menu, but be ready for a wait almost any day of the week. The robata-grilled yaki nasu (Japanese eggplant topped with shredded dried bonito) and asparagus beef (asparagus wrapped in thinly sliced beef) are both light starters grilled to perfection (use caution when ordering the wasabi chicken, however; this dish is extremely hot). Whether you move on to one of the complete tempura, tonkatsu or teriyaki dinners, all served with soup, salad or rice, or dive into some of the freshest sushi around, it is hard to make a wrong turn at this ever-popular restaurant. Lunch Mon.–Fri., dinner daily.
