    Giants game.
    David M.

    The Kru proper is a full five star option. James Beard award winner and deserving of a Michelin star. Bumped across this location by Kru and figured it to be a great option for Kru light. ....not so fast! Not at all deterred by the smoke, the drone of slot machines and a place where smiles were all but absent. Big times at the casino on a Friday night. I was on a quest for sushi that resembled the famed Kru I'm accustomed to. It was a big tucked in the rear where there's a food court. The menu was simple enough and a decidedly light version of the mothership which was absolutely expected. Again the smiles were absent as we ordered. Service with a smile has died here. None the less onward we went. Ordering an array of nigiri and a couple rolls we were familiar with. The Giants were on the television so that was cool. The soy sauce came in packets, the wasabi was very congealed and diners were expected to mix this all in an absurdly small condiment cup. Still my optimism persisted as the Kru proper was so fresh and delicious a dipping sauce is unnecessary. They hollered out my name and we went to gather our treasure with enthusiasm. Visually it all looked familiar save for one piece of the nigiri sampler that was so disfigured it was a pass. Some of the nigiri was repetitive. This never happens at Kru. If you don't have the requisite 7 change it up to 5. I opted to dive in for the Hamachi sans sauce and ...womp womp it was a swing and a miss. The fish lacked the freshness I've come to expect. Oh well time to see what a little soy sauce and wasabi could do. Sadly it wasn't enough to square things up. In addition to the poor excuse for hamachi, there was a mystery piece that was unidentifiable. It was such a ragged and sad piece neither of us were willing to give it the benefit of well placed doubt. The track record was already suffering badly. While the salmon looked fresh it wasn't and was too stringy to eat. It was unceremoniously spit into a napkin. The hamachi scallion and spicy Liz rolls masked the substandard quality of the fish to some degree. Sadly it just wasn't enough. This place is a hard pass for us. I don't understand how Kru can allow this to happen. The "newness" is no longer an excuse, if it ever was. Please do better, I'm a lost customer. For the sake of those dining here in the future you're just too good for this. Yes I understand it's not the mother ship, but it doesn't need to be where the mothership crash landed with no survivors. A generous two stars.

    This place is part of the food court at the Sky River Casino. My sister and I prefer vegetarian or vegan foods, but when it comes to fish or seafood we can make an exception. (But for me, it must be cooked)! Fukuro by Kru was kind of a last resort restaurant for us because we couldn't find any place that served vegetarian or gluten free meals. The menu is quite limited here but understandable, because we are located in a casino where patronage can be a more difficult customer attraction. The order taker at the counter was very nice and patient with our decision making. She tried to answer my sister's questions on what ingredients were in their dishes. (She is allergic to gluten and wheat). But she really wasn't knowledgeable enough to help. My sister ordered 2 items: the Shiro Maguro Roll and Eel-avocado. I got the Shrimp Tempura Roll because at least it wasn't raw. Our food was satisfactory, but unfortunately, my sister had a bad feeling and became concerned about what she was eating, and decided to ask the sushi maker directly. That's when he informed her that there is wheat in some of the ingredients used to make the rolls. She had to stop eating her food and continued to be hungry for the rest of the afternoon, until she could get home to eat something that was compatible with her digestive issues. We probably won't be visiting the food court in general any time soon.

    Caterpillar Roll and Spicy Liz

    Highlight to my visit to a bad casino. Fukuoka by Kru is inside Sky River in Elk Grove, and I've been wanting to try it for a while. Finally, I bit the bullet and went for it. The rolls are large, and the presentation is great per the attached photo. I opted for the Spicy Liz, which seems to be a take on the Spicy Tuna roll and the Catepiller roll. The caterpillar roll was great, with lots of flavor, and the sheer size of it was unexpected. The Spicy Liz was equally well done with a sprinkling of thinly sliced onion on top. I like to mix my soy sauce with Wasabi and dip that way. The Wasabi is tasty. Good balance between that Wasabi kick and flavor. They are tucked behind a pizza joint and next to Ocean in the food court. Staff is super friendly and was happy to chat with me about the rolls and sashimi plate they were working on for someone else. I missed the opportunity to grab a photo of it. Maybe if I'm back but again... It is at sky river, so chances of us coming back anytime soon are slim. If you have a little money to spend and want some large portion rolls, I'd say go for it.

    I love Kru and was so excited to see Fukuro by Kru in the food court inside of Sky Casino. The menu is limited to rolls, nigiri and few sides. We weren't hungry but curious to try the rolls. We went with "Spicy B", which had shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumbers, avo, seared tuna and microgreens. It had way too much sauce and covered the freshness of the fish and other ingredients. It was also very spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, this roll is not for you.

    This market place restaurant has not let me down yet. I have tried almost all the rolls on menu then they add more items. I love eating just one roll and then going to the desserts restaurant for a banana split. I will be back to try more.

    My hubby and I tried 2 of their rolls, rainbow and spicy liz, plus an order of salmon nigiri. The ingredients were fresh and portioned similarly to a sit-down restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised! The chef and lady who took our order was really nice. We'd definitely come back again for sushi.

    Super tiny selection of nigiri. None of the key items that separates legit sushi from pretenders were available, like Uni, Unagi, toro, etc.

    I was here last night for Cinco de Mayo and there was this incredible band playing called Son Cafe,…read moreeveryone was dancing drinking and having an all around great time. I bought some food from their food truck but forgot to take a picture because I had a few too many beers.

    Worst establishment I've ever been in. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I never been to a place…read morethat was so blatantly discriminatory. I came to visit my friends and we went to a brewery to catch up. My friend just bought a house and was moving, as well as having her birthday, so her ID was expired which we were not aware of. It happens. My friend was going to log into DMV just so she can show a valid ID the bartender but another woman working came up exclaiming they can not accept that and she will not get a drink. My friend did not argue about it and my other friend and I got our beers and sat down. We just wanted to spend time and catch up. My friend with the expired ID did not even take a sip of any drinks and respected the policy, the woman that we talked to earlier about the ids then proceeded to come up to us and say that we were sharing drinks, yelling and being very hostile. We were all confused because in no way, my friend even touched or drank any of the drinks. She insisted to call the cops. We then asked her if she had any evidence such as video footage and she said she did not have any access to that and she did not have footage. She said we were breaking the law and she will get the police involved for underage drinking. She was being extremely hostile. THANK YOU BY THE WAY SHE IS IN HER 30s BUT BESIDE THE POINT THEY REFUSED TO PULL UP THE FOOTAGE AND CORNERED US WHEN WE WERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We even encouraged to call the police then she started back tracking. Their lead came in. We again, asked for the footage and he then, unrelated, said they are on the verge of closing rather than taking any form of accountability or apologizing for how his colleague was treating us. We asked for a refund and would leave, we were so uncomfortable. He then proceeded to say we did not pay for the drinks and I had to pull up my credit card statement to even prove it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I got our drinks and paid/ closed the tab before even sitting down. We asked to talk to a manager again. Mind you, we asked previously, and got the lead. The manager just asked if we were from the Bay and shook our hands instead of actually doing anything about the situation. I saw her hug the woman that was accusing after we were leaving which is absolutely ridiculous. Why would you encourage that type of behavior to your staff. Profiling in 2025 is insane. I feel bad for my friends. I feel extremely uncomfortable. Discriminating and accusing just because we are the only POCs in the room is so embarrassing. DO BETTER- NOT EVEN AS AN ESTABLISHMENT BUT JUST AS HUMAN BEINGS.

I've had several of their different broths and they are all delicious, fully flavored and rich in depth. Noodles are cooked to perfection. Maru ramen bowl came with all the bells and whistles as far as toppings go extra meet, ramen egg. This spot is consistent unlike a few other local spots I e been to. Service here is quick, if you come here on a weekend when they open for dinner you can probably still snag a spot although the place still gets busy. Very modern in design and decor and well lit. Compared to other typical ramen spots. Cute seating that centers around a tree in the middle of the store that's typically decorated for the season.

Since then, I have repeatedly requested to speak with a manager. From November through February, each time I called, I was told a manager would contact me as soon as possible, but I have never received any follow-up. I am extremely disappointed with how this situation has been handled. I have reached out more than ten times without any response from management. I have been a long-term customer of Maru, and this is the first time I have felt that my concerns were not respected. I want to be clear that this is not a reflection on the waitstaff. The servers have always been polite and professional, and I appreciate their efforts. My concern is strictly with the lack of response and accountability from management. I would like this issue resolved and a manager to contact me directly regarding the unused gift cards.

I was also able to grab some ketchup to enjoy those fries. My burger and fries was delivered and there were more fries than expected. I focused on those first because who like cold fries, right??? The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.
