King Of The Roll - Larkspur

Small little hole-a-wall place across the street from Lark theater. When you enter, you are greeted with a hearty welcome from the chef. Funny, it's a sushi place but it's run by Chinese. Interior nothing to write home about- kind of a diner vibe. If you want to sit at the sushi bar and watch the chef work and converse with him, there are seats right in front. The menu is quite extensive with daily specials posted on the wall. The sushi was very good and reasonably priced! We had the Queen roll which had salmon cooked, not sashimi style), grilled scallops and crab on top of the rice. The seafood was diced and mixed together. It was served warm and it was really good! I'd get it again. We also had the caterpillar roll with unagi grilled eel), topped with avocado and tobiko tiny fish roe) and the dragon roll with shrimp tempura, crab meat topped with unagi, avocado and tobiko. We really liked both of them. The dragon and caterpillar rolls were 8 pieces each in long rolls and the Queen roll was 6 pieces served in a round shape. There were only 2 of us and we took home most of the caterpillar roll. We left full and happy. I recommend this place for a reasonable delicious meal.

Great Japanese food! From Bento boxes to sushi and sashimi and even udon soup and stir fried noodles and veggies. Good soup And nice tempura. This is a regular place for us, reasonable prices. Always a winner!

This is one of a couple sushi restaurants in Marin, and happens to be the one I most frequent, given that it's the one closest to me. It's a pretty intimate little spot, as you're always eating within some 15 feet of the food preparation area. The owner (pictured) is named John Wayne, and he's always enthusiastic to have customers in the door. He always bids people farewell with a bow, as is traditional in Japanese culture. I've left 4/5 stars because the decor is nothing to write home about. It gets the job done, but ambiance is not a highlight here. Instead, it's more about the food. Service is okay not a whole lot of personality, but I get the sense that english is none of these folks' first language, so I give them credit for trying. While I can't speak to the other sushi spots in town, I can say that King of the Roll should have what you're after, as the menu is pretty diverse, and the food has been fresh on each of my visits. My order typically consists of a Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, a miso soup, and sometimes a tempura order of some sort depending on the day. If you're stopping off for a quick round of sushi, look no further than King of the Roll.

This sushi restaurant is amazing! John is the most nice guy that I ever met! Super friendly! I would always recommend my friends to go there eat a good quality sushi and fresh sashimi. The best!!!

This is my go to for sushi for 20+ years. It 's a funky little hole-in-the-wall place with tacky furniture but I like the neighborhood vibe. They did a brisk take-out business during the lockdown, so that should tell you something. John Wayne the owner/proprietor is one-of-a-kind. Prices are so reasonable!
