Kirin Sushi Hibachi - Scarborough, ME

We were in the Portland area and looking for some good sushi - we are SO glad we didn't stop for sushi in the tourist trap Old Port area and so happy that we stopped at Kirin!! The sushi was incredibly fresh, delicious, and so well priced. We live about 2 hours away and we are so excited to come back to the Portland area soon so we eat at Kirin again! Kirin seems to be mostly a takeout restaurant, but we ate in the restaurant and had a great experience...

I have to write an update because it's just necessary. I have been here 3x now and it's been absolutely outstanding every time. Last weekend I got the Kirin for 2, which could really feed 4 but my friend & I devoured every morsel. There was not one disappointing piece in the lot. The Miso soup is also delicious. Today I got the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl and again, outstanding...

Spring rolls, coconut shrimp, chicken hibachi box, California sushi roll, fried rice, and chicken pad Thai, all were delicious! Veggies were crisp, chicken was tender and fresh, seasonings were dynamite, and the four dipping sauces were excellent! It gives Empire Restaurant in town a run for its money; it's half the price and equally as savory!

This place is awesome! We've done takeout several times now and every time it's fresh, tastes awesome and we love every bite. We got the sweet potato tempura maki, spicy tuna maki, shrimp shumai, yellowtail & avocado maki, house salad, and miso. Everything is worth it and I highly recommend the spicy tuna maki & the sweet potato tempura!! We will visit again often!

So happy to have a Japanese restaurant in Scarborough. I normally don't leave reviews but I really liked our meal and want others to discover this new restaurant, selfishly, so they will stay in business and I can continue to order from them. Good local restaurants in Scarborough are hard to come by. Definitely give them a try.
