This place is really hard to review. I have come here a lot and really enjoy it at times. It's a great place to go and gorge on certain types of sushi at a lower cost. The salmon, eel, anything with otoro in the name, ikura, and the entire hot food menu are all quite good.However, there's certain stuff that I will never order again here and I do not think passes for sushi quality. That would include the octopus, uni, tamago, a lot of the rolls and some other things, too. Some of it is just gross, supermarket quality sushi, flat out.I struggled with what score to give Kura because of that, almost giving it three stars but deciding on four because I have enjoyed myself overall and do plan to come back. It has its place and is gimmicky fun.

My favorite place just to make sure to check in on the tablet, and when getting the txt, you almost up check in with the hosts so she will make you as there and will not skip you.

The food was terrible! I don’t understand why people like this. Everything was old and tired and sad. The ground tuna was disgusting and a waste of fish. It was supposed to be negi toro I believe. The ikura was deflated. It was so weird. Lacked the pop I was looking for. I thought that since so many people were attending it would have fresher goods. They did not. Food has really gone downhill in Austin the last two years :/ this place is a great example.

We love going to this place, its so much fun and the stores around it are great. There is always a wait so much sure you download the app so that you can get on the waitlist before you get there. The entire shopping center is amazing. I highly recommend it.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options, but you aren't going to get a wide variety. Your options will be fries, edamame, cucumber roll, watermelon.

It's a great value, and good variety conveyor belt sushi place. The quality is not impressive. The most annoying thing was that the sticky rice for the nigiri was not sticky enough, so it could easily fall apart.But there were some quite nice plates, pretty decent salmon toro for example and it's a fun experience especially for people who have not done the conveyor belt before. There's even a little robot going around carrying drinks.

The parking lot needs to be fixed. We love going to Kura, but parking in our SUV is almost impossible. Even when there are available spots, they are so narrow we have had to leave on 2 separate occasions and eat elsewhere. I can see by the other reviews it is a huge issue and they are definitely loosing business over the problem. I don't understand why the spots are so small, isn't there a standard size requirement?

This was a cool experience:) the hostesses greeted me as soon as I walked in which felt nice because it was my first place here. They ask if you've been here before to know whether to send someone to explain or not. The server came over and explained everything!I enjoyed food at the sushi bar which was awesome because it's right in front of the sushi belt. The sushi itself is really tasty and they have a lot of types to choose from. I didn't order anything off the screen this time but they have noodle bowls and specialty sushi items and desserts. Some desserts are on the belt so that's where I grabbed mine:)The plates on the belt have these lids on them and some get stuck sometimes so it can be a little tricky to pull your sushi off in time as it goes by ?There are robots that bring your drinks and even bring refills which was cool :)Anyway. Will definitely be back:)?
