Kibou is an excellent Japanese food restaurant. I wanted to try it purely because it was Japanese and my expectations weren't super high as generally these places tend to lose some of the actually japanese type of quality due to ingredients but I was so wrong in this instance.Kibou ended up being an excellent traditional japanese restaurant. Their Chicken Katsu took me back to the times I was in Japan and I felt like all those memories came back to me.It is unbelievable how it took me back in time to quickly with just the 1st taste.The staff was amazing. From start ti end they were attentivr and helpful and they always wanted to give us the best and to make us feel as comfortablr possible. Amazing hard workers!I loved the design of the place. Their wall drawings were really cool and their menus had a great japanese style.In terms of prices, by the looked of the place, it looked really expensive but I was also wrong as it is affordable and the food/service is worth every single pound of it.

We celebrated our ten year anniversary here and we felt great. The restaurant has such a vibe.. loved all the details! very cinematic, instantly transporting you, and the food was so delish. Went with the chef selection sushi platter and some favourite starters Takoyaki and edamame beans. The japanese garden for dessert was good but a bit big for one person, we should have ordered just one for two people. I was very surprised about how good the non alcoholic cocktails were! And mezcal margaritas for the win! Pricey but worth it!#bristolfoodies. Payed parking available nearby.

Amazing sushi !! Came for my birthday and it was gorgeous. Had the sharing platter and although it’s not cheap the platter is really good value for money! Plus lovely cocktails.

One of the best sushi spots in Bristol. Really cool restaurant right in the heart of Clifton serving traditional and contemporary sushi and shashimi options. We always go for the chefs superior sushi and shashimi 20 piece selection and it’s always excellent as are their cocktails. The service is good and friendly although due to their own success the staff sometimes appear overwhelmed. Ultimately this is an ideal ‘fancier’ spot for entertaining friends or going out on a date - you won’t be disappointed!

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Kibou Japanese restaurant, and while there were some positive aspects, there were also a few disappointments. Let's start with the positives - the decor of the restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The ambiance was inviting, and the attention to detail in the design created a pleasant and authentic Japanese atmosphere.However, one major downside of my experience was the wait time for the food. It took an unusually long time for our dishes to arrive, which was quite frustrating. Unfortunately, when the food did finally arrive, it didn't quite live up to expectations. The chicken in the Katsu curry was disappointingly dry, lacking the tenderness and juiciness that is expected in this dish. Additionally, there was a shortage of curry sauce provided with the Katsu curry, which left the dish feeling a bit lacking in flavor.On a more positive note, the Veggie Volcano sushi was a unique and interesting dish. However, it was unusually large, making it difficult to fit in the mouth in one go. Despite this inconvenience, the taste was good, and the combination of flavors worked well together.To accompany my meal, I ordered a pot of Jasmine tea, and I must say, it was fragrant and delightful. The aroma of the tea added a pleasant touch to the overall dining experience.

We had a lovely dinner last year. Food and drinks were amazing. So delicious. This year we visited the place for few cocktails and the place, service and staff are still fantastic. The whole place and experience is incredible. Highly recommended!!!

I will only talk about the vegan menu, which I had.The California sushi and the Yasay volcano roll , were nice and fresh.What really made me rate it with 3 stars was the vegan Yasay ramen noodles which was tasteless.The broth was bland, didn't have any volume or even enough salt.The whole dish needs extra care and elements which will make it all nice and delicious, for example mushrooms pan fried with soy sauce or something else.The tofu on the top was the worst part as it was just plain tofu with a slightly pan fried( I guess) crust which wasn't even crispy enough, but even if it was crispy, it was a plain big piece of tofu.Tofu itself, is tasteless so it needs flavour.Soy sauce, agave, liquid smoke, miso, anything to add some flavour.The garlic edamame beans were very nice.Staff were nice and friendly.

We had an enjoyable dinner for my son's birthday. Food was delicious, service 5* . Special thanks to Tess for the dynamic and non.exhaustive energetic service , yet always served us with smiles. Also we were touched by the gesture - a birthday cake piece! Thanks to all team in Kibou!
