Our waiter pressured us to leave in 2 hours. We waited for this reservation for 4 weeks. Now he’s a little tiffed with us.

I have dined in here multiple times, each time was an extraordinarily unique experienced compared to other sushi bars and restaurants. The service is great here and cater to any needs you may have. Besides typical Japanese dishes you will find more exotic ones but excellence in flavor is still there. Everything is served on beautiful works of art you'll never see used as a dish anywhere else that binds with the food it's presented with to create a pleasing first impression when your waiting brings it to you. Over the many times I've dined here I have ordered the sunshine roll, nigiri mix, miso soup, seared sturgeon, ngo burger, and wagyu tsukune, all I very much recommend, but if you want something unique settle for the wagyu tsukune.

Fantastic restaurant for a contemporary sushi experience. Brita really took care of us and explained the menu very thoroughly. She really explains the differences between the different dishes and she was overall one of the best servers we've ever had. Really recommend the sake flight to get things started and they definitely didn't cheap out on the nigiri sushi mix. Different from an authentic sushi restaurant, but definitely not worse. It's unique in its own way and we'd definitely love to come back again. The duck dumping is a MUST finisher. You won't regret it.

Waiting area is cramped and small, my wife was offended within 5 minutes by the front of the house as we got shuffled around. We waited 10 minutes for our reservation, and they sell out the bar space so don't plan on getting a drink early and waiting.Like typical Sacramento establishments the food is not the main focus. Sushi was on par with most other restaurants. The presentation is better and the garnishments are the highlight. If you don't like pickled garnishments and sauce this isn't the spot. Rolls are all good but very similar other than a slice apple, a sauce or slight variation. Fish is fresh but I wouldn't put it higher than other upscale establishments.What makes this not up scale is the table service. At this price range they should be clearing plates before dishes come out. Providing better drink service, water service is great but we want drinks. Just felt like another chain restaurant, which is the biggest draw back.Lastly as the sober driver I am deeply disappointed in the beverage options. All I want is something other than water that is caffeine free. Nothing on the beverage menu but glass bottle cokes, no diet soda, no mocktail and the waitress glazed over me when I wanted something caffeine free at 8pm at night.

This place is *outstanding*. I’ve traveled extensively and I don’t know that I’ve been to another sushi restaurant in the USA that has this quality and variety of fish, coupled with this level of execution and also with friendly and prompt service. I’ll be going every time I’m in Sacramento. Honestly I won’t be going anywhere else when I’m in Sacramento lol. Wow. Just wow.

This is "our spot" for my wife and I. Celebrated many things at Kru. She LOVES sushi, but I don't. Kru has something for everyone!!The Wagyu is terrific..always on point. The burger is good too, but I order medium rare, and it usually comes medium well. Oh well, I need to stop being so freakin white and not order the burger at the japanese restaurant!!Seriously though, amazing food, top-notch service, and an astounding bar program!

5 stars On everything. I ordered the Asparagus soup, a duck skewer appetizer, and the Tesla. All seasoned well. Flavors were outstanding. I wouldn't even call this place pricey. It's not cheap, but you definitely pay for what you get. Top Ten restaurants I've been to. I'll be back.
