Brought my nieces and grandson at 4:30 on a Wednesday to experience hibachi and make a new memory. Several reviews commented on walking in and enjoying hibachi w/o reservations so I thought I was good. Nope! Only one chef during the week so we didn't get to experience it. We ordered two generic, kid-friendly rolls, fried soft shell crab, beef udon, edamame and two kids bento boxes. I left most of the second roll because fish was slimy. The soft-shell crab was mush vs fried goodness. The Udon was flavorless. Sadly, it was an all around disappointment. No to go boxes and ordering pizza when we get home! I REALLY wanted to like this place! The service was GREAT read more

I came to Kura today for lunch, excited for some Japanese food. the service was great, and the restaurant was super clean! I will say it's hard to customize plates, which is hard for me being gluten and dairy free, without extra charges. the food was good though! read more

Very busy place at 5:30 but mostly cleared out by 6:30. Very friendly waitress. She had us lugging so much! My husband got the short ribs which he greatly enjoyed. Our friend got an egg roll which turned out to be 6 halves! She enjoyed them so much. Her teriyaki bowl was also very good. I ordered shrimp stir fry. It was yummy but I would have preferred they use oil instead of butter. Nevertheless I'll eat the second half for dinner tomorrow! read more

Good is always delicious and the service is on . The Hamachi Kama is great with a cold Sapporo and the sashimi is always fresh when I go

The food here was SO good. Best sushi I've had in the springs. My mother in law and I do a weekly lunch date and this place was definitely a win. They were so kind to my tantrumy toddler and served us well. Clean and nice establishment read more

Absolutely awful experience at Kura on Mother's Day. I made a reservation in advance, expecting a special evening, but instead walked into chaos. There was ONE person working the front--trying to act as host, food runner, cashier, and server all at once. The line was long and unorganized, and it took nearly 20 minutes just to be acknowledged. When it was finally my turn, the overwhelmed staff member--who barely spoke English--had the nerve to claim I was late, which was completely false. Then, she told us we couldn't do hibachi because it was "almost 7 pm." What kind of restaurant takes Mother's Day reservations and then turns people away? We ended up having to leave and scramble for another restaurant at the last minute. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. If you care about good service or basic organization, avoid this place like the plague!! read more

We had a great meal at Kura The pork katsu was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired perfectly with the sauce. The rolls were fresh and full of flavor, with good portions, and will not forget the Takoyaki balls. The service was friendly, and the overall vibe made for an enjoyable dining experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for Japanese food! read more

We were looking for a local Japanese teppanyaki place in Briargate. We are visiting our daughter and son-in-law from CA so we had some reservations - we were greeted and sat immediately when we requested the hibachi. The atmosphere was genuinely serene and our drinks were brought out promptly. They took our orders and were then introduced to Justin, our chef. He was cordial, entertaining, and knew his craft. Our fried rice, veggies, and steaks were phenomenal and he didn't splash ingredients our way, always a plus! But it really was one of the best Japanese restaurants we've experienced. Well done, Kura! read more

Food here is always so amazing and worth it we always book the hibachi for the kids so that they are entertained by what's going on and wow do they do that. Everyone there is so nice and service is extremely friendly. The whole atmosphere is also amazing from sushi boat orders to decoration. Love this place! read more

Took our daughter to celebrate a special occasion. We were under the impression that the wait may not take as long being that it was a week day and that there were only 2 other families dining in. We ended up waiting close to an hour and decided to leave and on the way out dissuaded a family from dining there. Don't go unless you plan on binging your favorite Netflix series! read more

Sadly my first visit to Kura will also be my last. The whole dinner was just a mess, from food coming out at all different times to wrong orders to really disappointing food and a server who was so busy I didn't want to bother her with my complaint about the food and she never once asked our table if our food was okay. Just a dismal experience. Two hours fifteen minutes from being seated until we were able to get our checks and get out of there. I couldn't wait to leave. read more

Ate at Kura last night with my wife and grandson. Although only two other tables were occupied, we waited 40 minutes to receive our food. When it finally came, we were disappointed. The sushi and rolls were tasteless, and the octopus was so tough that it was inedible. We will not be going back. read more

3.5 stars. The place is good for a lunch during work. I usually opt for the bento box, which is average but satisfying. However this time I got the lunch special with 3 half rolls. It's a ton of food and the rolls were tasty! The place is fine inside, and the servers are friendly and fast paced. I stuck to the floor, likely because of whatever mop solution they use, but it was weird to make a ripping sound while walking through the restaurant. It's clean though, so that's a plus. read more

I went for my first time about a week ago and it was horrible. The servers have no idea what they are doing. They didn't give us half of the food we ordered. The food was decent. I thought we'll give it another try. Went today and it was horrible. I ordered two rolls and immediately told the younger server I didn't like them. All she said was so sorry and charged me full price for the two rolls. One I didn't even touch And the other I only took one piece. I didn't even take it home. The habachi is the only decent thing there. I wouldn't recommend going For good Japanese food. read more

This place had some of the worst steamed rice I've ever eaten in my entire life, waitress was rude as hell overall horrible, horrible, horrible experience. read more

Decent place for lunch, however does not stand out when there are several other nearby places that offer the same food but better quality. I have been here for lunch twice now and while the service is very good, the food is lacking. Both times I ordered different bento boxes (one beef and one chicken one) and the meat was not as flavorful as I was hoping and could use a bit more caramelization from cooking. The bento boxes are around $15 to $16 and come with the meat, rice, a small amount of iceberg salad, one fried gyoza and some tempura fried veggies. The tempura veggies were my favorite part of the box and the sauce that I dipped them in was good as well. read more

Kura - Lunch Bento Box Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Wow, what a disappointing nightmare of a mess with customer service. This restaurant is clearly understaffed, and I know a lot of restaurants are, so I always try to give restaurants grace, but... We dined in person in December and it took 20 minutes before anyone even came over to offer us water, but ironically they greeted the other table that was sat after us got them water and took their order before they even addressed our party of four. Then last night we did take out and we were missing a roll and a our standard roll that we always order was smaller than usual. Strange! Today, I called back to ask for a refund on the missing role and they gave us grief as to why we didn't call back last night...well we didn't call back last night because they were insanely slammed and their credit card system was down, so I just didn't want to hassle with it, so instead of making it right, they actually HUNG UP on me mid call as we were discussing the fact that I wanted a refund and expected them to make it right! Not to mention they can't give a refund over the phone that I have to actually physically go back into the restaurant, what a hassle! They were so incredibly rude! Unfortunately, there was not any sort of customer service going on at all and it was just a very defensive call on the restaurants end. Repeat customers are a restaurants lifeline and honestly I am a repeat customer here, but I will go to other sushi restaurants in the area that are just as good, like "Jun's" or "Sushi Ato"that have much better customer service! It's too bad because the food is actually pretty amazing, but until they can get their customer service up and running, I will never ever be able to recommend this restaurant! Trust my advice, dine somewhere else! read more

Food tasted awful!! My chicken skewers weren't good because they were tuff and too chewy, I could hardly chew them. I ended up spitting them into my napkin. My vegetable roll was tasteless. The dip for the vegetable rolls was good though. The green tea wasn't very good, and for the pot of yucky green tea...we were charged $6!! My husband DID like his California Roll and his shrimp roll. The Miso soup was pretty good. But,this was our first and LAST time coming here. Too expensive and most of the food that we ordered was not edible!! read more

This place is so close to where I live that It's one of the many reason's I have been dining at Kura for the past 5 years. The Ambiance is relaxed and giving off a modern vibe. Their baked bay lobster roll, dragon roll, Spider roll, & naruto style hit the mark. Their cucumber paradise roll fits the bill, especially if you want to cut some extra carbs for a a guilt free indulgence. when you have a sushi craving and have specific dietary needs/goals it's a really nice option they offer. Some places do not offer Naruto style, but i'm very pleased they do. I had Kura take out sushi for my 30th birthday 4 years ago and they did a fantastic job packaging up everything. It was an incredibly large order since I was also feeding friends and family, but it all came out perfect. My 30th Birthday was memorable to say the least thanks to Kura! I will continue to come here for Sushi and hibachi, and I urge other people to give them a try if you haven't. read more

Stopped in, staff was very busy and seemed visibly stressed and rushed although the restaurant wasnt very full. Food took an exceptionally long time as well. It wasnt bad or offensive but also didn't impress me as someone who regularly eats Japanese food. Very so-so, and expensive for what it was although I don't feel like I wasted money either, just not very nice food and I may go elsewhere to get better food at the same price. Husband and I got the same thing so maybe other entrees were different. He also told me the bathrooms smelled "like a zoo" although they "looked clean." read more

Very disappointed with my latest take out order. Basically, I got ripped off. They gave me inedible pieces of salmon and charged me an arm and a leg! read more

The food was actually super good and very affordable the sushi nigiri were a dollar to 3$ would recommend for fast and easy service

Food and service was ok. Our server Seemed more attentive to the register and her Tips than our group of 6. Since Ai is closed this hibachi was the closest to my house. First time here and I think it'll be my last. Not impressed but it served a need for a hungry group. read more

This is my second favorite sushi place in town. We come here ALL the time. Especially because the kids LOVE it. And they are picky little monkeys! They won't eat sushi but they love the Bento boxes. My husband and I love the Nigiri, the baked mussels (with crab!), the Cadet and Research rolls. We love that we have a huge menu so you can bring (lame) friends who maybe don't like sushi. Was a little surprised to see so many negative reviews about the staff. We come here about once a month and have never had that experience. Everyone has been sweet and wonderful. And incredibly patient, even saint-like, about our 9 year old knocking his water onto the floor EVERY. SINGLE.TIME. (we are sorry!) We've been 3 times since COVID and the tables were socially distanced and the everyone was wearing masks. Zero crowds. The ONLY negative experience was the one time we decided to try the Teppanyaki side. The chef we got was a major bummer. We are use to Musashi where they put on a show. This guy was just telling us horrible stories about his home and personal life. Very strange. No tricks, no charm. We left needing therapy. Otherwise we love the food and the staff and will be back lots. read more

This place has gone way down hill. It's been a year or so since we have been there we like the hibachi tables for family events. We had 6:30 reservations the chef did not get to our table until 7:20 and we were the only table waiting. I ordered a seafood combo shrimp, scallop and lobster. All of it was over cooked. The berries we ordered weee Luke warm and the bathrooms were pretty bad. To top it of they automatically added a 20% tip to our bill. I tip at least 20% if not more if the service is good. This was terrible. Never going back there read more

The tuna nigiri and miso soup were both absolutely amazing, especially for someone new to sushi. The atmosphere and service were both great. The only downside was the yakinku which while not bad by and means was somewhat of a let down. Regardless, highly recommended read more
