Kiyen’s Kamikaito
521 Main Street
North Little Rock, AR 72114
501.891.6172
Argenta’s top pick for Sushi is the sneaky great Kiyen’s Kamikaito. This renovated grocery store space is well lit and opened up to enjoy watching the sushi chefs build your rolls in the open kitchen. The eel-topped Dancing Dragon roll is fantastic. For something non-traditional, opt for the stuffed jalapeno roll called the Spicy Monkey Ball. Afterward, a small boba tea and ice cream finish the meal perfectly.
