Kurama Japanese Seafood
Good sushi, authentic food from the kitchen.
They have very good sushi and nice Japanese dishes. They recently raised their prices though, and now they are comparable to Kanki's.
I recommend sitting at the sushi bar and just ordering from the sushi bar and the kitchen. Their teppanyaki food is very salty.
I'm not sure if I'll go back because of the raised prices, but it's still a solid Japanese restaurant.…
Used to be Great- Don't know what happened.
If it were not for Rodney, I doubt this place would be open. The bar 4 stars- best bartenders around but, cheap liquor.
The food 2 stars, I can get the food at one of those drive through places that would compare easily.
This sucks, because it used to be one of my favorite places!…
Gross, very dirty. Look at the greasy grill and food on the floor...do I need to say more? The food was okay but far from good. Not coming back.
greasy grill is gross. My boyfriend and I went here on a Tuesday night. Seating was prompt which was nice. The main reason we went here was because I love sushi, but my boyfriend does not. Well, turns out they wouldn't let me order any sushi from the Hibachi area because of a big group of people that had come for sushi. I was pretty disappointed about that especially because I was only ordering three pieces of sushi. The food was good, however while it was being cooked I noticed a big gap between the grill and the table and that gap was disgusting. It looked like it was filled with enough grease to remake the movie "Grease". I was pretty grossed out. Service was OK. The other couple at the table asked for chopsticks and never got them. Water was a little slow in coming. I probably won't go back.…
ok for a group but food so-so. Kurama was the only Japanese restaurant in the area I could find that would let me make a reservation on a Saturday night for a large group. The wait staff was efficient and generally friendly, though we had a little trouble communicating about how we wanted to split up the check. The service was quick and there was A LOT of food, all of which was prepared right in front of us at these gigantic grills right on the table. It was fun to watch, though some of us got very hot sitting right next to the grill all through the meal. I had the grilled shrimp. It was salty, as was the miso soup - I've actually never had such salty miso soup in my life - and the salad dressing. Kurama was good for a big group, but I'm not sure I'd go back again for the food.…
