Master Critic Review

Kanji Sushi Hibachi - Ridgewood 8.0
Glendale
A Japanese takeout-first operation with a hibachi backbone, where the sushi-roll lane works best as a straightforward, repeatable order rather than a deep-dive destination. Treat it like a “two rolls + one hot item” spot and you’ll get the most value and consistency out of the menu.
Must-Try Dishes: California Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, Doge To The Moon
