    Kuro always earns 5 stars!! The food is amazing. The Wagyu Beef Tacos are to die for. We found ourselves ordering 2nds of many of the dishes like the Lobster Dumplings. The staff is wonderful; very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. And everyone is so attentive. You finish a plate and someone takes it off your table. You take a few sips of your water and someone refills your glass. A manager came by to check on us which is always a nice touch. Our waiter, Tommy, was just a great guy with a perfect personality. Overall a very comfortable atmosphere with great food and great service!

    One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The food here is great and there are plenty of options if some of your party does not like sushi. We ordered the braised beef short rib, the asparagus, crispy tuna rice and the sea bass. All excellent. Probably the best asparagus we've ever had. What will make us come back is the short rib. It was so tender and falling off the bone. No knife needed, we were able to easily pull it apart with chopsticks. Fantastic.

    I would give this place 0 stars if I could for service. It was a very disappointing experience. We were celebrating my niece 21st birthday. A very special night. She chose this place based upon her love for sushi. The server name was Brian. From the start you could tell he wasn't happy. When we told them we were celebrating a special occasion they told us no worries we know what to do. When it was time for dessert he brought out a small piece of tiny desserts. We had a lot of people there. They did not bring out a candle or no celebration at all. We then explained to them how they ruined the night and not even an apology. You only turn 21 once. I have reached out to this place a few times and although I was told we would make it right, no one has contacted me back. The dinner was on June 3. Today is August 2, 2022.

    Tried this Japanese restaurant in Atlantic City as most places were fully booked or too loud. It’s very busy but still less noisy than other restaurants. Food was ok, beef was very tender. I’ve had better sushi. Overall not too bad, met what we needed yesterday.

    This restaurant will have you dreaming about the flavor profiles and pairings presented in their dishes. I have only been to Kuro twice now and both times I was completely blown away by the food, drinks, AND service. The portions are perfect however the taste will have you wondering if you should order more! The staff was overall delightful, a few members of the kitchen even came out and brought some of our dishes over. I am still trying to process all of the flavors. If you don’t have room for dessert after, trust me STILL GET IT. Our server, Sean was a delight. He held the perfect balance of conversation and appropriate space to allow us to enjoy our meal. He also encouraged us to explore different menu options. This was the best dinner I’ve had in a long time PLEASE GO TO KURO!

    I’ve been here many times and every time I order the menu tasting. Even with different servers, the food has been different every time and I’ve loved everything. If you don’t want to spend the money on the menu tasting, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. This has to be the best restaurant in Atlantic City. Definitely make a reservation as the wait time can be incredible if you don’t. It’s the perfect spot to impress a date.

    We were all set to go to Docs Oyster House for an anticipated great seafood dinner. Literally as we’re turning into the valet, I see I made the reservation for Docs Oyster Bar in New York! How the hell did I manage that?? AI has a long way to go, else it would have realized I was trying to go from home to New York to Atlantic City in a matter of about two hours. So we wound up here. Despite the run-of-the-mill rye and could have used a touch more of it, our Manhattans were a good start with different flavors that slid across your tongue. Tapas-style shrimp tempura maki and rib eye yakatori were a good start; the rib eye was melt in your mouth tender and the maki presented a range of flavor and textures. I wasn’t crazy about the Chilean sea bass entree, that’s just my palate and not the preparation as the wife liked it; I thought it was sweet and the sauce covered up the fish to much. I preferred the lobster instead, where the lobster was complimented by a unique butter and an array of veggies. I can't rate the food a 3.80, so 4 stars it is. Overpriced casino restaurant as expected, but it did provide good food and a nice experience with top-notch service from Jennifer. When I ordered a Kujira 12 year for dessert, we had a quick exchange on Japanese whiskey (primed from our earlier exchange on Manhattans), and how this was the bartender’s, who is a whisky geek, favorite. She walks away and the next thing we knew, the bartender was at our table telling us the story of this excellent whisky. We didn’t miss Docs.

    Any destination, anywhere you go, visiting a sushi place is always on the list right 🫠 This was the other place in Atlantic City. The presentation, the scallops, the lobster, the drinks and service were all spot on great 😋🍣

    One of the best dishes I had was Chilean sea bass. Miso eggplant was perfect and hot. Food timing was impeccable. Servers are very nice and informative of the different menu choices. Josh was the man! Get the whiskey flight and be mind blown of the variances between the 4 different types. Thanks again. So good we made another reservation for tonight! Can’t wait. And don’t forget mochi for dessert!

    We had an amazing experience at Kuro last night. It’s been a couple of years since our last visit and the food and service continues to be exceptional. We enjoyed the ceviche and sushi rolls, they were very flavorful and tasty. Our waitress made some great recommendations in addition to her pleasant and exceptional service. Cocktail was delicious as well. Kuro is in the Hard Rock Hotel so the ambiance is always lively and upbeat. It’s definitely a place we will dine at on our next visit to AC.

    My husband and I went on a Friday night to celebrate our wedding anniversary.From the arrival to the goodbye, it was a beautiful Experience. I would travel to AC only to eat here again.Our server was Katrina! Knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. She always had a real great smile on her face, and when we mentioned that all the staff seemed very happy to be working there, She didn't hesitate to mention how great is to work there, she loves the environment and the quality of the food that she serves. We decided to go for the mapping menu. Best decision ever! Every bite was a piece of heaven, also a surprise.Drinks didn't fall behind, we ordered the Shi and the Aka, I wish I know how to make them. Delicious.We decided to go for dessert, and Katrina said "one dessert will be enough for you guys" we wanted to order two, but we decided to follow her recommendation. To our surprise, she brought a beautiful extra dessert with a sign of happy anniversary and a candle. That gesture made us really happy.Thank you Katrina for being so amazing, and Thank you to then owners and managers for creating such a beautiful ambiance where your employees are happy and can offer this level of service.I will be back hopefully soon.

    Kuro is lost most of the days between being a fine dining or a diner! I still believe that Kuro could do better when it comes to quality and service. Chef Shingo is wonderful and creative.

  • 5/5 Ta R. 2 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this Japanese restaurant! It is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlantic City! They have phenomenal food, great atmosphere and excellent service! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Hard Rock Casino. Even if you’re not at the Hard Rock, you may want to take a trip there just to check out the restaurant!

    Came here to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We loved the food here especially the Chilean sea bass. The food is consistently although it is a bit on the pricey side but the quality is really fresh.
