It feels luxurious yet totally relaxed--perfect whether you're in the mood for a casual drink or a full dinner. The bartenders were not only fun and welcoming, but also clearly passionate about what they do. They were eager to mix up creative drinks and make recommendations, which added a lot to the experience. I came in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety on the menu. Whether you're craving a sandwich or a filet, there's something for everyone. The food was delicious, and the prices were incredibly fair--especially for the level of service and atmosphere. Same goes for the drinks and wine list--great options, all reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

He even gave us some pho to taste, and it was INCREDIBLE! We had the fried rice, which was absolutely delicious. My partner was completely stuffed but HAD to finish it because it was just that good! I had the miso soup along with the Ichi and Shishi rolls, plus the Summer Hamachi, and WOW, WOW, WOW! Everything tasted unbelievably fresh. The Summer Hamachi especially was so fresh, delicate, and flavorful. You could truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. My taste buds were going crazy! And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we indulged in the most amazing ube dessert. The perfect ending to an incredible meal! Trena was our server, and she was attentive, warm, and extremely kind throughout our entire experience. Between the freshness and quality of the food and the wonderful service, we will absolutely be back!

I kind of knew that I would not be disappointed... I wasn't. We made reservations and were sat immediately upon arriving. The entire restaurant was clean and organized and very well maintained. We were greeted with a smile and welcomed in and brought to our table immediately. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Serve server, Lissete immediately greeted us and helped us walk through the drink menu. We both chose the 'shogun' drink, which but their version not fat. The drink was absolutely delicious and flavorful and reflected its a menu description perfectly. I don't want to say that the menu was overwhelming, but every description of every item was appealing. I will not go into detailed descriptions of our menu items as their descriptions were very well defined on the menu. Everything we ordered was both picture perfect and absolutely delicious. We ordered the following items: Pork Belly Skewers Gali Rib Skewers Duo Tartar GO Roll Hachi Roll Every item was absolutely delicious but, would I order it again? Probably not as these items were so awesome that I would have to try new items every time I go back or another visit. I will again say that our server Lissete, it's probably one of the best servers I have ever had before. She was personal, professional, assisted us with the menu, get back with us after every plate and overall treated us as if we were honored guests in her home. With her Service and the food and the ambience of the restaurant, Kuro Sushi a very easily earned my five stars! Great job by everyone!

Our server , Sumner, was helpful in describing the items and provided friendly service with drink refills and more. Overall, what a great experience.

Service was awesome too. We got there right when they opened so it was just me and my mom at first and the guy at the bar made it easy and fun. The vibe feels a bit on the fancier side, but it's still chill, a perfect spot for date night or just taking cute photos. No hidden entrance or secret password that we could see and street parking is available. No wait during the day. It's not the cheapest spot, but honestly worth it for the drinks and the aesthetic. I'd love to go back and try more of their craft tails sometime!

Unfortunately, this experience went from disappointing to downright concerning…read more I do want to distinguish between the two bartenders working. The younger bartender was nice, pleasant, and welcoming. The older gentleman behind the bar, however, was a completely different experience. He came across as rude and was essentially barking orders at guests about how he would take our orders. For a place positioning itself as an upscale cocktail experience, that attitude set the wrong tone immediately. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't make up for it. My espresso martini was mediocre at best. My friend had the lemon drop, which was equally lackluster. Then came the $30 smoked Old Fashioned, which should have been impressive at that price point but was incredibly disappointing. We were also told they infuse their own vanilla into the vodka. Whatever they're using or doing with it, the end result tasted incredibly cheap --not remotely what I'd expect from a premium cocktail program. Then there's the condition of the place itself. There was a wrapped pipe dripping water onto/near a lounge bench, chipped and peeling paint on the walls, and obvious signs that preventive maintenance is desperately needed. The space simply wasn't aesthetically pleasing or maintained at the level the prices and concept would suggest. But it actually got worse when I went to the bathroom. Part of the ceiling appeared to be falling down, water was actively dripping into a bucket, and there was visible dark growth on the ceiling tile that looked like mold. At that point, my concern went well beyond décor. If you're going for an upscale speakeasy experience take a look at The Doctor's Office. That's the kind of atmosphere, presentation, and attention to detail I associate with this concept. When you're charging $30 for a cocktail, expectations are naturally going to be high. I expect excellent drinks, professional hospitality, and a well-maintained environment. Aside from the younger bartender, who was genuinely pleasant, this experience missed the mark across the board.

What I liked was that each shrimp had its own sauce to dip into so that you didn't have to double dip if sharing plus the slaw was really nice. Service was excellent!
