    My two friends told me to try this spot. I made a reservation and I had a party of 5 people. It was busy but not packed when we checked in. We waited a few minutes to be seated. We were seated in the back by the bar and kitchen. Being so close at times it made you cough from the spices. I recommend not sitting there. Our waiter Christian was very nice. Got our drink order right away. I'm not a drinker. They have 3 mocktails. I got the Fizz cuz it has ginger. Loved it. Now the food, I was told the tacos and lobster dumplings were a must. They were good. Dinner we did the Scallops, Short rib, and Hot stone Japanese Wagyu beef. Just hope our food including the appetizers all came out the same time.

    I've been back a few times since my last visit, so Kuro deserves an upgrade. It's one of the few places to get artistic Japanese food in Atlantic City & I can see why it's USA Today's best hotel restaurant in America. As with most restaurants, some menu items are better than others, and I have a good gauge of what food is worth coming back for now! Hands down it's the Tuna Crispy Rice at $20 for 2 pieces, it's pricy but delicious. The tuna is spicy and topped with a little caviar for the perfect bite of crisped rice & melt in your mouth fish. Next are the Lobster Dumplings at $24 served with squash purse and nori butter. These are so decadent and will make you want to lick the bowl. I also love the Wagyu donburi bowl which is rice topped with braised short rib, onsen tamago, & jus. So rich and satisfying! The scallops $42 and short rib $55 are also very good but are a splurge. If you can get in on Thursday's or Sunday's from 5-6pm, they have a fantastic happy hour. I love that there's tons of variety with their discounted offerings. There are items for non sushi eaters & vegetarians too! I had the spicy Toro tempura roll for $20 and it was my favorite of everything I tried. The salmon crudo $12 was also very tasty with a good amount of salmon roe. The pork katsu sando $12 was pretty good, but it could've used more aioli. The gyudon & unagi don $10 each are both mini rice bowls that were very flavorful with tender pieces of beef (gyudon) or eel. For a drink, I had the Kuro Mule $12 & it was so refreshing & balanced with yuzu and ginger beer. Getting seated took some time despite having a reservation, but overall the service was great and the ambiance is modern & upscale which is perfect for a night out on the town.

    Kuro is a place that feels like only visiting on a special occasion, but if you have the opportunity to dine at least once, or even more times, you wont regret it. I have visited a few times and have my favorites on the menu. The wagyu tacos being my all time favorite and steaks skewers right behind it. But this is a Japanese restaurant I need to mention that the star of the menu is the Omakase special platter. Everything is sliced fresh and assembled to perfection with an amazing presentation. Staff is attentive and the place is very well decorated. Inside of the Hard Rock Hotel, this place is one of my favorite sushi places to visit. Did I say that their sushi is one of a kind? That too!

    What a beautiful establishment! My guy friend has been telling me about this place for a while now and decided to treat me here for my birthday yesterday evening. For a Friday night, there wasn't as much foot traffic in the restaurant as I had anticipated and they were pretty flexible about the reservation time. Wish I could remember our servers name but he was cool asf and we really enjoyed his service. I had a generous glass of moscato that actually lasted me the entire night lol it was delicious; very fresh, sweet and crisp. For starters we had the tempura shrimp, brussel sprouts and lobster dumplings... Everything was so yummy; the tempura shrimp was lightly fried and paired well with the sauce, sprouts were hand picked and perfectly coated in balsamic, and for the showstopper--Those lobster dumplings were the BEST dumplings I think I've ever tasted in my life! They were sold out of the whole fish by the end of the night so because the dumplings were so good I actually ended up getting a double portion of those for my entree--From the butternut squash puree and nori butter to the candied pumpkin seeds and l fully stuffed lobster dumplings with no filling...I was in heaven. So happy we chose to come here and the Japanese cheesecake dessert was just the cherry on top of my night. Very airy and light to eat after a filling meal, and it washed down well with the lychee sorbet--Different but an outstanding combination. I went home stuffed and ready for bed LOL thanks Kuro I'm looking forward to returning next time I'm in AC.

    We came here to this very elegant dining space to celebrate bday of my Dad. Staff are very courteous and friendly willing to give recommendations which is helpful for first timers. Although orders take time to arrive we still enjoy this rare opportunity. All ingredients taste superb so fresh and meticulously prepared and cooked to perfection. I especially love the miso cod, ceviche and matcha cake. It would be lovely if serving is a bit more especially when you're with family. Overall, the best thing is my Dad had a blast and that is the best part of our Kuro dining experience.

    Spicy tuna tempura and spicy miso bass roll

    Had dinner with friends at Kuro on Saturday. First off great ambience. Didn't feel like we were in a casino restaurant at all. Our server was extremely friendly and fun. The food speaks for itself. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Probably the best vegetable tempura I've ever had. The ribeye robata skewers insanely flavorful! Would for sure recommend both the shishito peppers and crispy Brussels sprouts. The spicy miso bass roll was excellent. I could go on as well ordered a lot! lol. Go try for yourself now

    The ambiance is beautiful! Service was slow - From taking our order / bringing the wine (20 plus minutes from ordering and then wasn't cold which he told us and we still accepted), as well as bringing the check. The food arrived from the kitchen in a timely fashion once ordered. We were lucky to take advantage of the Taste of Kuro menu. We started with the salmon bowl and gyoza. Both were delicious! Really enjoyed the sauces! Then, we had the mushroom donburi and the tempura ebi. My mom loved the donburi and it was a large portion for a tasting menu. Tempera was traditional and good, nothing special. For the entree, we got one of each - ribeye and the seabass. Ribeye was perfect, tender and had a delicious sauce. The accompanying asparagus sauce had an odd taste, but was ok. Sea bass was also cooked to perfection, however the sauce on the accompanying veggies was a tiny bit bitter. Cucumber avocado roll was simple, fresh and delicious. Doughnuts were good - raspberry sauce was amazing.

    Short Rib + Wagyu Ribeye
    Angela A.

    The food here is absolutely delicious but pricey for not overly large portions, so keep that in mind! I came here with a group of girls, and we ordered family style. The two dishes that stood out to me the most were the short rib and the wagyu ribeye! The short rib fell off apart easily with a fork and had the creamiest sesame sauce that could make anyone cry. It was that good! The wagyu was also well seasoned and paired really nicely with the chimichurri sauce. I can't stop thinking about that short rib though! Lastly, shout out to the hostesses working that night. We had asked one of them to take a picture, which she gladly did, but she also went above and beyond. She surprisingly whipped out a selfie spotlight and used it to make sure we had good lighting for our group picture!

    My boyfriend and I m came by on a Thursday night. Located inside Hard Rock Casino, not too hard to find. This place has nice vibes, intimate, with a candle set in the middle of the dinner table. There weren't a lot of tables occupied and that made it really cozy. They have happy hour Sunday and Thursdays. We ordered a couple of drinks, and the Japanese cheesecake from the HH menu. We ordered the midori sour, shoga, and the soju mojito. I liked the shoga the best. I feel like I didn't taste the alcohol at all... so it just tasted like a variation of soda! I tried the other 2, and I wasn't too much of a fan. Per recommendations from our waitress, we ordered the lobster dumplings (YUM!), beef negima skewers, pork belly (must try!) wagyu donburi. The donburi was mostly a filler, for trying out the other food. She also recommended the surf and turf, which, I'm glad we didn't get because this amount of food was perfect for two along with the cheesecake. The beef negima was meh, it's crunchy on the outside but the flavor was a miss for me afterwards. The pork belly and the lobster dumplings were a MUST try! We loved both, too bad the portion size wasn't bigger. The Japanese cheesecake was okay, we liked the sorbet and the sides more. The fruits, the almond and the white chocolate gave the dessert a nice finish. The bathrooms are shared with the restaurant next door. There's mouth wash and lotion inside too, if you want to freshen up.

    Kuro on the boardwalk was amazing. We went with the family and everyone enjoyed their meals. It offered a little bit of a flavor difference from the Kuro in Hollywood. Again I ordered about on of every vegetarian and vegan item they offer. For comparison, the edamame are a bit spicier and have a different flavor. The brussels sprouts were spot on and the rolls are always fresh. The ambiance is comfortable yet elegant, the surroundings of the restaurant or nice decorated and elevated a bit also casino floor. Just outside of the restaurant you find our way perfect spot to go straight into the entertainment and excitement. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Our orders came out in a timely manner and was very fresh. It was a very good visit and a very good evening.

    After losing $75 at the slot machines, we cashed in our moola and decided to have dinner instead. I wanted Japanese and this was a no brainer. Oooh la la...this place is ultra chic and sexy. We had the most adorable, bubbly and attentive waitress. Katrina was such a doll, she exudes happiness and it really made our dining experience that much more special. She came by often to check up on us. We started off with some rolls, Eel Cucumber and Salmon Avocado Maki. I loved it, It was fresh and tasty. Next up was the Mushroom Donburi. Omg, if you are a mushroom lover, get this. We ended our meal with their Ishiyaki Hot Stone. The Wagyu was $35 an ounce and you have to order a minimum of 3. I am not a huge fan of Wagyu. I just wanted to try it on a hot stone style of cooking. It was good but don't think it was worth it. Had we not lost $75 at the casino, I would have gotten dessert.

    Gorgeously decorated. Nice decor. Definitely felt under dressed when I walked in MGK attire!! We were told by our server that things come out as they are made and things were made to be shared! So that's what we did! My friend and I ordered: Lobster dumplings: comes with four dumplings and a delicious sauce! Yummmm Waygu lollipops: 2 of them. Great meat. Would have loved a dipping sauce with these to enhance the flavor or perhaps less sesame seeds to really enjoy the flavor of the meat. We also got the beef lolipops which were crunchy, only 2. Spicy tuna roll: good, however at this price point, wasn't expecting the rolls to fall apart. Avocado cucumber roll: good Good experience, would come back and try other items on the menu such as the entrees. Would love to try Waygu beef as an entree-- next time!

He made it very clear that the restrooms were for paying customers only. I firmly replied, "I plan to dine in, but need to use the restroom first. Is that a problem?" He didn't seem too happy with that response and walked away. As intended, I sat at the bar and ordered wings and truffle fries. The food wasn't particularly memorable, but the wings were a decent size. The truffle fries were fine, but nothing that stood out. Antonio clocked in about halfway through my meal and was a breath of fresh air. He was friendly, attentive, and completely changed the tone of the experience. Overall, it was a good visit with decent food and great service from Antonio. Unfortunately, my first interaction with Domingo left a poor impression and took away from what otherwise would have been a positive experience.

The bar occasionally offers live music, but my favorite time to visit is during the holidays, when they turn it into a festive Christmas spot with holiday beverages. There are fun decorations, strands of lights, Home Alone 2 playing on the televisions, and much more to really get you in the holiday spirit. I most recently tried the Pomegranate Margarita on their seasonal menu and thought it was excellent; it was not too sweet or too weak. I should note that there are rarely servers in the lounge area, so you typically need to go up to the bar to place an order, which can disrupt the flow of fun you might be having.

I took one look at them and was scared to eat one but I did. They come with 2 egg rolls cut it half. They were so small and you can tell at first glance they are straight from the freezer. We left two out of four eggrolls on the plate. The food photos on their website are 100% false advertisement. I have no reason to ever visit again and felt bad for my family I dragged there having higher expectations after following them on Facebook for weeks leading up to the visit.

    Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall continues to be a favorite spot in Atlantic City's Orange Loop. Located…read morejust off the Boardwalk on Tennessee Avenue, it perfectly captures the laid-back beach-town vibe that makes this neighborhood so special. Great for a solo diner or a group or family. I stopped in for dinner around 6:15 PM and, as always, the atmosphere was welcoming. There's indoor seating, a full bar, and a fantastic outdoor space complete with games, a fire pit, and one of the best music playlists in town--often accompanied by live entertainment. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors naturally mix together, creating a fun and friendly energy. One thing that always makes me smile is the sign when you walk in explaining that the bartenders and servers may be outside and asking guests to let them know they've arrived. Honestly, who could blame them? With the fresh salt air coming off the Atlantic Ocean and the outdoor atmosphere they've created, it's exactly where I'd want to be too. Tonight I ordered the crab cake platter, served with garlic French fries and coleslaw. The crab cakes were very good, packed with flavor, and the fries were crispy, garlicky, and absolutely delicious. A simple meal done right. Everything was fresh and appealing, I eat small portions so I took one crab cake and some fries home with me. I did ask about dessert, nothing was available, I don't do sweets frequently, I'm surprised they don't request Momma Chocolate, at Bar32 to make some extras for days they are closed. My server, Bella, was upbeat, bubbly, and attentive throughout the evening, adding to an already enjoyable experience. Parking is easy, with both free and paid options nearby, plus curbside access. Whether you're a local looking for a regular hangout or a visitor exploring beyond the casinos, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is well worth the short walk from the Boardwalk. Highly recommended for good food, cold drinks, great music, and some of the best local vibes in Atlantic City.

It was not exactly quiet as the TVs and music were at a volume that would allow for conversation but you still needed to concentrate to hear the responses. They do have TVs showing all kinds of sports. Plenty of seating. Great bathroom. I went for their Mardi Gras special muffellata and it did was delicious. The olive spread on both sides as expected with the addition of hot capicola to the mortadella, etc. I went with a root beer since I was driving. And then I headed over to Bar 32 for dessert beignets and a just made for me and for the first time, non-alcoholic grasshopper. They hit it outta the park! I saved my other half of the sandwich for after Ash Wednesday. It was even better. But, alas, no photo. You'll have to catch it next year. This '26 Mardi Gras was delish!
