    It’s a great experience to try. And Alot of variety with sushi and hot plates. The Spicy Tuna Roll is the best and the seared beef sushi. The sushi is absolutely delicious and they have really good options. The conveyor belts are very sophisticated and your drinks are served by a robot! It’s nice with the revolving belt where you can pick up food and they don’t have many of the same kinds so it stays fresh. The food tasted fresh. You can also order more food to be sent to you. This is great place for kids. I highly recommend going with friends and making a night of it, it's hella fun. The dining experience feels like a game the challenge is getting the cases they put the food in off. Just remember you do get full really fast. Call me Ziggy Piggy!!!

    I saw that they were having a Japan fair with some fun specials and thought I would try them out again to see if the experience would be better than last. Prices have increased to $2.90 per green plate and there are now partition for every table due to the pandemic. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for lunch and we arrived around 11am, shortly after opening. I heard wait time is usually long so we wanted to beat the lunch rush, but there were plenty of open tables for a walk-in even after we finished. Once seated, they take your drink order and you have two options: pull directly from the conveyor belt or select various options from the touch screen at each table. We did a bit of both. To pull from the conveyor belt, you lift the plate up to prop the cover up and off. Pretty seamless and easy to do. For the touchscreen orders, they come directly to table via another belt above the general conveyor selections. You can view your order status, see how much time until your order arrives and total number of plates. Favorites: Shima Aji Soy Ginger, Ikura Norimaki, Ikura Gunkan, Garlic Ponzu Salmon, and Red Snapper with Yuzu Pepper. I was very curious about the sweet shrimp yuzu jalapeño, but the shrimp texture ended up being super slimy, filmy and not fresh. Hard pass on that one and the yuzu jalapeño component was too saucy for me. It was ponzu based I believe, so it didn't give the burst of flavor I was expecting for citrus & spicy. Overall, we spent about 30 minutes here and accumulated 17 plates, which totaled to about $53 (w/o tip) for lunch. If you hit 15, you get a gacha gift! I filmed the little animation on the touch screen, but it was very anticlimactic since nothing arrived lol. We asked our server at checkout and they gave us the gift. For the price per plate and the 1:3 fish to rice ratio, I'd rather go elsewhere. For a quick sushi fix, it's nice to grab a few plates, but the small portions eventually rack up.

    Haven't been here in a while. Mostly the same and still great. They have an app now for online orders for takeout and delivery and they have robot servers who bring drinks and sushi plates. Food quality is about the same, perhaps a little less than before but prices are up about 30% across the board. Nevertheless, I'll be back the next time I have a craving. 😃

    The fun and excitement of a revolving sushi bar, complete with prizes (every 15 plates), good sushi, unique dishes, and robots that play songs and deliver you drinks! Definitely will go back, especially when I have a good group with me.

    This place is pretty cool! Pretty much an almost server-free experience. We can either order through the touch screen provided at each table or pick something that catches our eye on the belt. Food was fresh amd price was reasonable. Then you slide your plates through a plate hole that keeps count of how many you've eaten (number shows on the screen) and charges you at the end. Oh and a robot brings you your drinks!! How cool is that!? XD

    Definitely download kura sushi app and get on the wait list, so you get seated faster during dinner rush hour. Lots of varieties of Nigiri, sushi rolls and handrolls, sweets...etc Lovely experience tonight!

    Pretty self-explanatory in what this is, but I've been impressed with the quality of the sushi, as many revolving sushi bars tend to get sloppy or have subpar selections. I also like their additions, such as udon soup and tempura "taco". This location is extremely busy, and the wait can be ridiculously long. I recommend downloading their app and signing yourself up on the wait list ahead of time.

    Average quality, nothing mind blowing. Most sushi was good, eel and scallops were amazing. I noticed that everything was fresher when you ordered instead of taking from belt. Sea urchin and tuna were very bad; Colors were already off when it arrived special ordered, and it tasted even worse. For the price, there are many superior choices.

    I went to Kura for the first time on a Friday night and had the best time! Make sure to join the waitlist before you head to the area, my wait ended up being about two hours. Parking is hectic, be prepared to circle the Diamond Jamboree parking lot until you happen upon someone leaving their space. There's sushi traveling along the conveyor belt but I always ordered mine from the touchscreen. I highly recommend the crispy rice with spicy salmon, it's so good. The umeshu was strong! But it was a fun addition to the meal trying to eat the plum after finishing the shot. I'll definitely be back.

    🤔I didn't make a reservation and just went 😪 and waited for an hour and ate for an hour. 🍣 It's okay, and the family also likes it. 6 people ate 50 plates a lot.

    Had a fantastic lunch at Kura with someone that who had never been there. Great experience overall and got to try a bunch of different dishes I wouldn't have had otherwise. Bonus points for getting some Jujutsu Kaisen swag! And they have red bean Sesame Balls, my favorite! Would definitely bring kids and people that have not had sushi before and try it here!

    Came here for dinner with my lawyer and we thought it was great. Having the option to taste a wider variety of different sushi is something we both really enjoyed. The robot waiter was a nice touch to make a unique experience even more fun.

    This sushi place is perfect for kids or anyone ready to have fun! The food itself was very good and the kids had a great time picking up this from the moving belt! I highly recommend it for a fun night out. It is best to be in the online queue before you head there as the wait can be very long.

    Check in is straightforward on a tablet. Wait time ranged from 15min to 30min. Service was a bit slow. It took a few employees and some time to get our condiments for our Nigiri. Enjoyed the food greatly but service and staff were okay.

    I've been to the Brea and Cerritos locations dozens of times and always had exceptionally good experiences. Today I ordered from the Irvine location for pickup and had to wait on the curb for 53 minutes (off hours). I saw dine-in customers come and go while I waited on my 2 items. What I got was pretty small and sloppy in the end. I really love Kura so this was a real bummer.

    We had dinner here at Kura sushi. Nigiri selection is lessen. quality is not great, but could be understandable because of the price. However, you do need to double check on your final bill, because they put in the order for the item you never order! Me and my boyfriend we just ordered water for drink, but on the bill there were 4 other charged drinks! I didn’t look when I pay the bill in cash, but when I got the change, the waitress didn’t bring me the receipt! I felt weird and by the time I walk out the restaurant, I found her and asked for receipt. She answered me: “oh, I already destroyed it, I’m sorry”. I insist I need take the receipt for reimbursement. She doesn’t has choice and gave me the bill from her pocket! Not the receipt still! I walked out and I checked bill, saw those drinks I didn’t order, I walked back to her and she immediately said oh, let me refund you that four items fee, she knew but she didn’t correct and mention a word to us before we pay! What a scammer!! I got 15 dollar back, then I walked into restaurant again to ask for 1 more dollar for the tax I paid, I don’t even want to let them take a penny from me! If you choose this restaurant, and pay cash, be careful about the bill, review carefully before you pay! Attached Bill I got from her, she still didn’t get me receipt, I felt so uncomfortable with that.

    Delicious sushi items. Reasonable prices. You sit there and the sushi dishes go around and you can pick whatever you like. Also, you can order from a tablet at your seat. There are some robots bringing drinks to you. Interesting experience.

    A great place to try out different kinds of sushi. The food was good, no complaints. Be prepared to wait at least 30 mins outside since it's very popular and usually crowded!

  • 3/5 Ruud N. 1 year ago on Google
    We were in the area on Sunday after having tea with clients - unfortunately we were not able to pick the seats we wanted and figured out what it means if you're sitting in the very front of the restaurant. It means you're at the end of the belt and all the other patrons are able to pick their favorites and we were left with a lot of dessert options (which we did not care for except for the sesame balls (ordered them separately). Fried rice order is awesome though, we could keep eating them! TIP, go in early or wait until a place in the rear is available.

    Will definitely be coming here again. Quality sushi, fair prices, and variety. The booths feel nice and cozy and very private. Not too noisy and the staff was very courteous. Most plates are 3.50 and there's a screen that keeps track of the number of plates you take, easy to keep track. Get here an hour before you want to eat as wait times are long after 5. They have an app so it may be possible to reserve a table. This place is definitely worth the wait.

  • 5/5 Phil C. 2 years ago on Google
    First time trying this place and it was awesome! From the bots bringing you your drinks to your orders sliding out on a conveyer belt, to the revolving sushi selections you can grab from. The spicy tuna rolls were a little light with the spicy tuna, but the nigiri and other hand rolls were on point. Was visiting for a few days and glad to find out there is a location I. Orlando. Definitely will be trying that one out very soon.

    We love this place. It’s simple and something that our family enjoyed our dinner together. Always great service here. We go here so often that most of the staff recognized us when we dine here. That is also the reason why we go here for dinner most of the time. Sometimes it’s the experience and the comfort surrounding that matters.
