Had a few drinks at the bar and decided to share an Incredible Roll with my Wife and it was out of this world amazing! We will definitely be back for more. We are new to the sushi scene but this is by far the best (cooked) sushi we’ve had thus far, the girl told us eel was her favorite so we intend on coming back to try just that! Bravo Kawa!

Immediately greeted and serviced Menu is somewhat small but easy to choose from, which I like I got the hellfire chicken ramen in mild for and really enjoyed it, but it wasn't mind-blowing good Atmosphere is nice to sit alone or with friends I paid $23 plus tip for a single bowl of ramen

Delicious, everything! The crab ragoons are expensive, but worth it! Rolls were delicious! I'm excited to order from there again!

This spot is in the 3rd St. Market Hall just inside the north door entrance (Wisconsin Ave) and to the right. Order at the counter and they have about a dozen bar spots to sit at. I ordered the wasabi toro roll and a spicy salmon crunch roll. Both were quite tasty, but only six pieces, so a little on the small side for the price. The Market Hall is quite loud, so it wouldn’t be a great place to come if you want to sit and visit, but I was solo, so it wasn’t bad. The sushi seemed fairly fresh for 3:30 in the afternoon, and I would probably come back.

I’ve always enjoyed Kawa and love that they’re located inside the 3rd st Market Hall! My go to order is the Hellfire Ramen, Kaarage Chicken & a Spicy Tuna Roll! Super delicious! Service is always very upbeat and friendly! You can just taste the quality in their food!

I was in the area for a meeting. But the atmosphere here was soo cool that I had to stop by and eat. They have a front counter section where you can sit down and eat at. I used to frequent the Kawa on North Ave but it closed. This place is good, but the food didn't quite compare to the closed one. Still good though and definitely worth stopping by. Not sure if they change their menus but the hellfire ramen was only available with chicken. The pork was by far superior. Would come back if they offered it.

I ordered the teriyaki salmon bowl and the Japanese Green Tea. I love the salmon bowl and ate it all right away. The Green tea was new for me, it was good. I will be back to try the ramen!
