I normally don't feel the need to leave reviews like this, but I was honestly pretty underwhelmed…read more While the selection of rolls was good and there were a lot of options to choose from, the overall experience just didn't match the price point. Everything felt really expensive for what you get. Paying over $4 for just a couple small pieces adds up fast, and we ended up spending around $80 for two adults and a 5-year-old with no drinks, which feels pretty high for a casual sushi night. The food itself was hit or miss. The kimchi was a bit off, and the mussels, even when ordered fresh, came out cold which was disappointing. The biggest issue, though, was the wait system. It felt really unorganized. We saw multiple couples walk in and seat themselves at the bar while several families who had already checked in were still waiting outside. That was frustrating and didn't feel very fair. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one we'd rush back for given the price and inconsistencies.

This was a fun experience! My first time at a revolving sushi bar :). We tried lots of different…read moretypes, like salmon, salmon roe, tuna, crab, avocado salmon topped with cool flakes (one of my favorites, along with the salmon roe one) and more. Also got cold sake and poured it for each other which was awesome :D. And just seeing the conveyor belt of sushi was lots of fun..the conveyor thing was longg and went all around the restaurant! There were quite a few people in the restaurant too showing it's a good sign. Sushi quality wasn't most high-grade though. Although they had dishes of watermelon and various cakes floating around the conveyor belt too =p. And fries on the other menu you could order stuff from (along with ramen and hand rolls), so yeah it was like an American fast food meets sushi place a bit. Also they had a robot that helped deliver the sake!! That was really cool aha. Definitely an experience.

I chose Kura among the many choices (as someone in the area on business) because I hadn't been to a…read more"revolving sushi" in sometime. First, I think the nigiri style sushi they offer was good and as fresh as I've had anywhere. I was impressed by the sea urchin in particular. It's the rest of the operation that I found frustrating. There were hardly any "roll" options on the conveyor belt and there very few fried items like gyoza or tempura available for picked on the conveyor. After sitting there 10min, there was nothing I hadn't already seen. They get a "D" for variety. Also, the interface to order anything "non-nigiri" was not easy to deal with; placed above me seated at the bar... the extra step necessary to order items like tempura, every other kind of roll and noodles was to me overly complicated. I came into the restaurant around 445 or 5pm, so perhaps that's why the variety was so uncreative. I like conveyor sushi but I've been to other restaurants that execute it better; that offer more variety in terms of nigiri, rolls and fried items like gyoza on the conveyor belt. The food is good but if you're like me you'll find the entire process here at Kura more tedious than fun.

My first visit here was at night, and honestly, it was a bit of a mixed experience. The wait was…read moreover an hour, and because they were so busy, they didn't have the option to place individual orders. As someone who's a bit picky, that meant I had to sit and wait quite a while for the specific items I wanted to come around on the belt which was kind of frustrating. That said, I've figured out the hack: come right when they open for lunch after 11am. It's a completely different experience. You can order exactly what you want, and it comes out almost immediately. Way more enjoyable and efficient. Even during my first visit, I still had fun. The little robot that delivers drinks and wasabi is a cute touch and definitely adds to the experience. The concept itself is great, it just depends on timing. Food-wise, it's a bit hit or miss. I do NOT recommend the spicy tuna or regular tuna. The quality hasn't been great in my experience it tends to have stringy fat and sometimes tastes fishy. On the other hand, the spicy yellowtail hand roll is consistently my favorite. It always looks fresh with a nice color and texture. The app is also a little confusing. When you try to pay, it still redirects you to a QR code and opens a webpage instead of using the app directly, which makes you wonder why you even need the app in the first place. One more tip: double-check your to-go orders. They've forgotten utensils, soy sauce, and wasabi for me before. Overall, the staff are really nice, even though interaction is pretty minimal. If you go at the right time and know what to order, it can be a really fun and satisfying experience.

I'm not going to review Kura as if it's a high end sushi restaurant, I'm reviewing it for what it…read moreis: an affordable conveyor belt sushi chain that has cheaper quality food. For what it is, it was a pretty good visit. We really were pleasantly surprised by the quality. The variety was great. Rice was prepared right -- not mushy or stale. The fish was great which was the biggest surprise of the whole meal. The salmon was fresh and buttery. The scallops were plump. Tuna did not taste cheap or old like previous visits. I did try some of their limited time menu items -- their fish taco and the crispy rice hot dog. The cod in the fish taco was way too soft and disintegrated in my mouth, I would like a firmer fish.. the tartar sauce was great though. The crispy rice hot dog was interesting... the sausage was nice a plump -- juicy but the rice did not make sense. The rice was also a little sweet and did not taste right.. ** please bring back the crispy rice salmon and spicy tuna instead of this. We did not enjoy our last 2-3 visits to Kura. Service was always bad, food did not taste good and it was becoming overpriced for what it is. We would happily come back now and spend what we did again if the quality stays the way it is. Service this time around was still not great, even worse than usual actually, but we still enjoyed otherwise. Kura used to allow you to win prizes at 5-7 plates but now it's every 15, 25+ plates which sucks but I get it..

I haven't had sushi in a while, so I suggested this spot to meet up with my boba sistah. We got…read morethere a few minutes after they opened at 11am and had the place to ourselves. They have a table or two outside but they're not setup for outdoor seating, fyi. The restaurant is nicely decorated and dark, which took some getting used to. We were greeted warmly and chose a booth towards the right. I had noticed their lunch specials offered M-F 11-2pm so we both ordered from that menu. I got the L/Cali+Shrimp Tempura Combo: California Roll (Half Size), Shrimp Tempura Roll (Half Size), Gyoga(3PCS), Miso Soup. My companion got the L/Rainbow+Dynamite Combo: Rainbow Roll (Half Size), Dynamite Roll (Half Size), 2PCS Nigiri (Chef Choice), Miso Soup. Our soups were brought out pretty quickly and our food not long after. For the price point ($12) and quantity, my lunch special was definitely worth it. It came with 10 California rolls, 5 shrimp tempura rolls, and 3 gyozas. I was pleased to see their gyozas have chicken in them, usually they have pork so I can't eat them. I love their purple rice - so unique. I don't think I'd tried it before and it was good. All of the items I tried were fresh and flavorful. Service was great and I was surprised it wasn't busier during their lunch hour. Maybe later on or dinner gets more of a crowd. I'm glad we tried out this spot and I'd love to come back!

I know there are mixed reviews about the sushi, and unfortunately my experience leaned toward the negative. The sushi did not seem fresh and was sitting at room temperature. You could tell some of the rolls, especially ones with sauce, had likely gone around the belt multiple times since the sauce had started to soak into them. That said, the flavors were actually good and the fish itself did not taste bad. I have been to other rotating sushi spots where items circle more than once but still taste fresh, so this stood out to me. The restaurant itself seemed clean and I did not have any issues there. I just wish the freshness matched the flavor.

Traditional sushi does not have lettuce...bad sushi places and grocery stores use lettuce. Second, the head chef seems to have let an apprentice take on the omakase.

Great news, they have replaced the lettuce with cucumber! Maybe chef got some negative feedback.

We were the only people in at this time. We went right around 5pm on a Sunday. There we were to go…read moreorders though. Background music: They were playing mostly r&b so I liked it. My honey did not like the music. The food was decent. One thing I loved was that they had fresh wasabi. It's amazing. The flavor profile is fresh, bright, with an herbaceous heat. The bad thing is that if you get it to go, the flavor peaks about 5 min after it's grated, so you gotta be quick. We ordered a lot to be able to try a lot. Shrimp tempura-4 pieces, standard tempura, nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Very crunchy, served with either a spicy Mayo or soy dipping sauce. The hot green tea was perfect. Piping hot, you get your own tea pot so it stays hot throughout your meal. Definitely would drink this again. I was disappointed they had a bunch of other drinks listed online but didn't have available when we were there. I really wanted an iced matcha or taro drink. Tenderloin caviar with crispy rice 4 pieces for $22. Meh. They were his favorite, I thought it was just okay. The tenderloin was pretty "well done" and I prefer beef to be cooked a little less. You could barely taste the caviar and I didn't like the way they did their crispy rice in comparison to other places I've had crispy rice. The beef flavor was nice though. Unagi with eel sauce, as good as expected. This is also something most sushi places offer. It was done well, would eat it again. The ratio of rice to unagi was good, didn't have any sort of fishy flavor, not too much eel sauce to make it overly sweet. Yuzu SP- well balanced combination. I'm a huge fan of blue crab. 8/10 Blue crab with cucumber hand roll. So good! It wasn't super giant, good ratio of rice to blue crab. You get the freshness of the cucumber, the mild sweetness of the blue crab. Yasss.Def would eat again. 9/10 Mustard aioli shrimp with cucumber. Meh. Not much flavor. This was the last roll I ordered. Not a fan. The shrimp was cooked fine but flavor was very flat. Their other rolls were better. I'd skip this one next time. 3/10 Yuzu poke roll - great combination of flavors, fresh, bright, and the yuzu was not excessive. 8.5/10 Scallop- I asked for it to be spicy as spicy scallop is one of my go to orders for sushi. The scallop flavor itself was subtle and fresh, but to make it spicy they added a pickled jalapeño and some yuzu aguachile. Meh. Wouldn't order again this again as a spicy one. It probably tasted decent as it was. 4/10 Overall, I'm glad I tried it. Love the fresh wasabi but it's not close to my house. So if I was closer, I'd probably be back more.
