My sister and I stopped in here for lunch and we saw 50% off sign as we pulled in, which sounded even better. I heard a spider roll with softshell crab crab, avocado, cucumber, and eel sauce which was excellent. I also ordered a UFO roll, which was tempura, shrimp, crab, avocado, cucumber talked with salmon, eel, seared tuna, fried onion crunch Sauce and spicy mayo. My sister ordered the tuna sashimi and had already eaten half of it before I took the picture but it was very fresh. She also ordered the sunshine roll with crab, avocado, cucumber topped with salmon, Escalar, sliced lemon and dressing sauce, which is also excellent. She also got the miso soup which was good and had plenty of soy and seaweed. Staff was friendly and service was quick. I highly recommend him especially while they have the 50% off special.

Great food. But, Server failed to bring major items in our order. Food came out slowly over 30 min despite us being the only table. Appetizers nearly last to be served. Odd.

The Edamames were kind of cold, they didn't sauté the edamames , they just take it out from the "hot" water and put sambal on it ,The server was great even tho she was training someone else !

We are at the sushi counter. It’s on a busy street but they have a parking lot. The rolls were delicious and the sashimi I ordered was presented beautifully and very fresh. The dynamite roll was excellent and different from any other dynamite roll anywhere else. Worth it!

We visited with friends and ordered a wide assortment of dishes: rolls (Tommy roll, Lemon roll, cut roll) udon, poke, miso soup, and also tried several appetizers: crispy salmon skin, edamame, and spicy edamame, fried gyozu, and assorted fried vegetables.The food was surprisingly well done, it was clear that great care went into their menu and dishes. Everyone was very pleased, and feeling very glad we gave this place a chance -- we'll be back!

Cannot comment on service or ambiance since I got delivery, but the two rolls I got were solid! I tried the albacore delight and dynamite roll. I liked the chili sauce on the albacore delight in particular and would definitely get this roll again. Dynamite roll was a little too creamy/cheesy/rich for me (and I know it's a baked roll).

Amazing service. We got the Spider roll, Dragon roll, Blossom roll, and the UFO roll. We ate it so fast, it was amazing, and it didn't take to make. Since it's the grand opening the rolls are 50% off, so it is super worth it! The ambiance was simple but the outside looked great and clean. I would definitely come again!

Stopped by for lunch, was immediately sat and served, very friendly staff, Jacob's service was exceptional. Food was very good, they have great deals, will be back for sure.
Waitress super friendly, recommending food and explaining drinks and how to cheer. Spanish Music is 10/10. Loved it!

I ordered take out and the young girl with glasses running the cashier tipped herself and tried to tell me it was the taxes. I asked for my receipt but couldn't have it. I asked for the manager and told me there was no manager then proceeded to say the manager wasn't there. She claims she called her manager and said to call after 6. I just called and apparently the manager was on a business call. I don't know what manager would be on business call that works at sushi restaurant. Sounds like too many lies. I asked to void the transaction and to recharge me and claims to not have access to do so. You should not work somewhere if you can't do your job right and are gonna try to rob people of their money. You tip for the service you provide not takeout. Crazy how some people think it's fine to tip themselves. Don't get scammed here

Ordered online with a "20 minute" wait time. Got there 15 minutes after ordering and got told it would be 15 more minutes. It looked busy so I understood. Ended up waiting 30 more minutes. At this point I'm 45 minutes in and asked the server for an update since it had been so long her response was "I know... we were just really busy right now". It seems like they are understaffed. I recommend to take your business elsewhere since they are so busy. The sushi was meh. There's better tasting sushi for a better price and better service elsewhere.

I was hungry after working on my house all day found this place on my phone. It was fantastic! The rolls were very fresh and generous. I am excited to go back. The staff were quick and friendly.

Great Sushi. I've been going to this place that's changed owners 3 times the past 5 years and Kuro by far is the best.
