Variety of sushi we picked.
Marisol M.

The service was great, our server was very welcoming and nice. The sushi was so good, as a sushi lover, I approve. The restaurant looked clean and they had music playing.

We are regulars here and love the variety all you can eat buffet. It's a great price, but make sure you go hungry! You can choose from sushi, noodles , dumplings and more. I love the miso soup & hot/sour soup. We are always greeted with a smile. It's a comfy/ relaxing place to dine. It's one of the best buffets I've visited so far especially for sushi!

Absolutely love kurai and its different selections of sushi. Additionally, Love the ability to serve my own sauces. I am a huge spicy mayo and to have the opportunity to serve myself is great. there is also stir fry options like beef broccoli and sesame chicken. Very good variety!!

I love Kurai. Been coming here for years now. However I do have to complain that the restaurant has not been the same since COVID. You literally have kids running around touching tables and plates. Some have masks on but most of the kids take off their masks as they're walking around the restaurant. YUCK. Parents don't say anything. Employees ignore it too. I love that they have a sushi and Asian buffet with unlimited goods. However, when I went last week, you can no longer serve yourself. Instead you have an employee who doesn't even understand English serve you. I had a hard time communicating with her cause she didn't know what I was talking about even though I was pointing to the food. Anyways, employees serve you the buffet items as you stand behind some rope. They serve it to you in a styrofoam plate that can only hold three items at max unless you're willing to layer you're food on top of each other . Yuck. Buffet is really unorganized. You have some employees hustling and doing a great job. You have others just standing there chit chatting. The host lady at the front doesn't speak English either. She didn't understand our transaction question. Our waitress was really good though. She was quick and attentive. Definitely left her a tip for the hard work she's putting. Food is great. Customer service is just really lacking. Employees need to enforce the CDC guidelines with their customers cause this is the place someone can get the rona if they don't.

Our server and the management team were awesome! We had two servers that were amazing! The food and service was crucial and on point! We will definitely be back soon to dine again, and delivery as well!

I have enjoyed the Kurai in Pharr, but unfortunately was disappointed in the new restaurant in Edinburg. The wait staff was great trying to keep up with the customers. There seemed to be a few more items (i liked the steamed dumplings), but with so many (5) different people making the sushi rolls they seemed to lack consistency compared to the Pharr location. My biggest complaint was the that it reminded me of a Kurai Cafeteria with way to many people and noise along with the music too. It seemed like I was at Golden Corrall. There was a lack of plates, which you had to reach underneath and between people to get. Sorry but next time, we will go back to Pharr. A year later... ran out of both rices, no bowls for soup for over 15 minutes +, ran out of dishes but finally replaced with cold wet ones (shouldn't they be warm from being freshly washed?), never was able to get beef and onion that ran out while here. To top it off, my wife found a piece of metal in her pudding banana cookie desert. Go to Pharr. Best: After telling about the metal, the Asst Manager offered us two $1.99 drinks for our next visit. Poor!

I have no idea. But enjoyed all the food.

Food is fresh and when you do find out what you arr serving yourself. It's good and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The crew is helping each other and keeping the tables and floors clean.

Good for sushi. Other sections are average. A bit on the pricier side. Nice ambience.

You can't put Gyoza on a Buffett line and maintain the quality and the Beef Broccoli was just horrible (Meat was hard and tasteless).
