In Short – At a central counter an array of tempting rolls circulate a mechanized "sushi-go-round." Kurama offers the typical array of sushi, and kitchen hops stick to the simple stuff, i.e., salmon nigiri, California rolls, etc., when stocking the sushi-go-round. More complicated fish combos can be ordered from your server, as well as a selection of hearty noodle soups (udon, somba and ramen). Also on the menu are salads, afs20 the ever-salty appetizer edamame beans and miso soup.

Inexpensive and good
by shodan
Someone mentioned getting crunchy avacado... if you're getting avacado in your sushi you should re-think what makes good sushi. Try the nigiri style sushi. It is inexpensive and good. also the Una-don is very good. I recommend this place for an inexpensive place to go. We go there after kendo practice at UNC quite often.
- Pros: inexpensive yet still very good.
- Cons: service can be slow at times.

Cheap, Good, Eats.
by JaneKF
I like this sushi place. The service is a bit slow, but the food is great and fresh. Plus, it's inexpensive as sushi goes. The sushi chef always says thanks and says goodbye to you too, which I think is nice. I just wish they had better service.
- Pros: Great food, good value.
- Cons: Poor service, strange ambience.

So it's not fancy. . .

but it is fun. There are some things that I would not eat there, but if you ask for special things, you know it is made fresh! And not many places will fix natto without a big fuss. It gives a sushi/Japanese fix without breaking your wallet. Be sure to tried the tempura fried sushi - it is good! And the eel bowl is a good value for eel fans. It's not romantic or exotic, but it is a good time to eat cheap and enjoy being in Chapel Hill.
- Pros: cheap, entertaining idea, easy way to try sushi
- Cons: service is variable, drink choice limited, avoid when UNC is in
