Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

Always a great experience at Kura Revolving Sushi! The food was fresh and delicious as always. I cleared 12 plates with ease, and anything that didn’t come around on the belt was easy to order directly. I love the variety and the convenience. The restaurant is always clean, and I really enjoy the comfortable booth seating. Service was a bit off during this visit—while the robot server is fun, there were a few times we needed a human touch, and the staff member on duty didn’t seem too enthusiastic. That said, this is not the norm based on my past visits. Overall, still one of my favorite spots for sushi!

Newish open Kura. The staff are nice, take good care of us. They can validate the parking, just need to tell them the tag number. I feel like the menu is smaller than the one in Doraville but I could be wrong. The tables are also smaller than doraville one. 4 or 5 ppl max per table. I also think the speed of reloading the plate is not fast enough, we end up order them for the most part. Overall it’s fair.. of course can’t compare with other location in Asian country, but they certainly doing the best they can.

Kura sushi is always a go to spot for my friends and I when everyone is in town to visit. It’s my first time visiting the Atlanta location and we absolutely loved it. Everything was delicious and the ordering was fast and efficient. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m visiting. <3

I first discovered Kura Sushi while picking up food for a friend, and I was instantly captivated by the unique revolving sushi belt and sleek, modern aesthetic. It felt like stepping into a little slice of Tokyo. After a short 15-minute wait, I knew I had to come back and experience dining in for myself—and I’m glad I did. On my return visit, the staff was incredibly accommodating and patient, even taking the time to help me explore and understand some of the newer items on the menu, which made the experience feel welcoming and fun. That said, there were a couple of drawbacks. The smell from the cleaning supplies they use was pretty unpleasant and lingered throughout the dining area. Additionally, they seemed a bit short-staffed, which made service slower during peak hours. Despite those issues, I’m definitely planning to give Kura another shot—this time during the day when it’s hopefully less crowded. Overall, it’s a cool and interactive dining experience worth trying, especially if you’re into sushi with a tech-savvy twist.

We stopped by Kura Sushi for lunch about fifteen minutes after they opened, and while there was no wait (which was great), I was a little disappointed by the cleanliness. For a restaurant that had just opened for the day, I expected a much cleaner environment. Our table already had some gunk on it when we sat down, which wasn’t a great first impression. That being said, our server, Brandon, was incredibly sweet and attentive! He did a fantastic job despite seeming to be one of the only people taking care of the dining area—there were quite a few dirty tables left unattended, which made me feel bad for him. On the bright side, the sushi selection was solid, and the Umami Oil Salmon was absolutely incredible—definitely the highlight of the meal. I think this spot would be great if you’re looking for a quick bite during a work lunch where ambiance isn’t a big concern. But for a $75 meal, I just wish the table (and overall cleanliness) had matched the quality of the food and service. Would I come back? Maybe—but I’d hope for a cleaner experience next time!

Totally worth it to try, a little bit pricey, but very good experience. All ingredients were nice and taste so good. You can order from the tablet and food will serve from the conveyer above. They have many options of Japanese food, sushi, Ramen (You have look through all pages) The atmosphere was so nice and service also very great. Area was clean and bright. Sushi were great especially seafood. The ice cream and taiyaki were amazing, really recommend to try.

You are greeted by a person and then you watch this little video that tells you how you can order and there's a revolving line with sushi dishes that you can pick it will tell you what it is and then it's on behind it. It is very confusing trying to get the plate to get the hang of it they need some practice plates with nothing on it cuz we knocked the sushi over the first two times. I really recommend just a blank plates that go around the practice grabbing before you go to get sushi. You cannot special order anything off the menu but the prices are really affordable and the experience is interesting. It is scary saying a lot of jobs replaced by automation and when paying it asked about tipping but the tip go to the chefs or to the person who seated us.

1st time at revolving bar, would definitely go again. Selection was quite good. It was a fun way to sample various items. Service was excellent. Approachable touch screen and app for easy or ordering. Fun gotcha also distributed which is a neat extra. Went with a picky 10yr with our group. There were accessible choices including sushi, fruits, vegetables, and dessert. While selection was limited on belt it was all done well and also extended menu available to order on screen and promptly delivered.

Me and my mom visit Kura every time we are either in Atlanta or anywhere that has one! It's an incredible atmosphere with one of a kind customer service and such a cool set up and scenery! The food is always nothing short of amazing as well!

Visited Kura and the sushi was top teir. Our server Elia was on point and made our experience wonderful. Will be visiting again!

The sushi here is phenomenal as well as the service and clean bathrooms ! I definitely will be returning

Delicious fantastic amazing experience! We came on a monday night for dinner and were one of only a few tables seated there. It wasn't packed at all. Kura is such a fun concept -- you sit next to a conveyer belt with their menu items coming by constantly. You can also order directly from the menu if you want something in particular, and they'll send it on an express belt over to you. You pay for your plates at the end. We got so many items between the two of us, and it totaled to 21 plates. Out of all the sushi we tried, my favorite was easily the fatty bluefin tuna. They also have hand rolls, crispy rice, full bowls/plates, and plenty of dessert. We got the matcha and sesame mochi ice cream, both of which were fantastic. For all the food the cost is honestly quite reasonable! I loved loved loved it here :)

As longtime fans of Kura Revolving Sushi Bar's Doraville location (the first Kura in metro Atlanta, opened July 2017), my wife and I have been quite happy with this new Kura location in West Midtown. It's less than a mile from us, so we no longer go to the Doraville location. It opened on street level of the Interlock Tower, at the corner of Northside and 11th, in April 2024: https://x.com/kurasushi_usa/status/1778579336372830285 Kura is good for cheap, quick, casual sushi and other Japanese food in a fun, self-serve setting (conveyor-belt sushi). If you're looking for higher-quality sushi with traditional sit-down service, I recommend Ginya Izakaya (my favorite), Nagomiya, or O-Ku nearby. There are high-end sushi places nearby too (e.g., Hayakawa, Mujo, Omakase Table, Kinjo Room), but they're on another level. In this regard, Kura is low end, but that doesn't mean it's bad. This restaurant has its place and it always scratches our itch whenever we need a quick sushi fix. And I've never had bad sushi at any Kura location (inside or outside of Georgia), ever, that I can remember. I've had worse sushi at sit-down sushi restaurants. At the time of writing this review, Kura now has three locations in metro Atlanta: this one in town, Buford (near the Mall of Georgia, opened May 2023), and Doraville (H Mart shopping center). This location opened as part of The Interlock mixed-use development's second phase, Interlock Tower. Wagyu House is in the same building. Free parking is available in Interlock Tower's parking garage. There are a few entrances/exits to the garage. I like to enter and exit via 11th St NW, near Kura. Remember your license plate number and enter it on the touchscreen inside the restaurant, next to the check-in stand, to validate your parking for two hours. Multiple people asked me how this Kura compares to the Doraville location. Food and service-wise, it's the same. The prices are the same too, last I checked. Go to the location that's most convenient for you. That said, for now, this location is newer, nicer, and cleaner and the design looks cooler. Also, we haven't had to wait for a table here yet. However, our visits have started around 6:00 to 6:30 PM, before peak dinner service. We've left to crowds waiting outside for a table. In general, I think it's easier to get a table at this location compared to Doraville. Use the Kura app to get on the waitlist before you get to the restaurant. This is something we routinely did when we went to the Doraville location. However, we haven't really had to rely on it at this location because there's been little to no wait around the times we've arrived. Since we're regulars, the app has also been useful for discounts (loyalty rewards), promos, and coupons. Also, I like the convenience of paying with my phone (through the Kura website via QR code, not the app). Currently, the standard price is $3.50 per sushi plate -- same as Doraville and 10 cents less than Buford ($3.60). I've already seen the price increase at this location since it opened. I looked up my Yelp review of Kura's Doraville location and the price was $2.25 per plate back in 2018. That's about a 56% price increase over the last six to seven years. I love nigiri and usually fill up on that, along with norimaki (e.g., tekka maki - simple tuna roll), gunkan (e.g., ikura, negitoro, sea urchin), and hand rolls (e.g., salmon skin, eel). Some of my favorite nigiri here includes southern bluefin tuna, garlic skipjack tuna, most of the salmon varieties (seared toro, regular toro, regular salmon, sockeye, garlic ponzu, umami oil), Spanish mackerel, sea bream with yuzu pepper, seared hokkai octopus, and tamago. A couple of the nigiri that typically don't taste as good as their higher-end counterparts are the Hokkaido scallop and squid, but I still get them anyway. In addition to nigiri, my wife likes to get various rolls and she orders edamame almost every time. The desserts are yummy. My favorite is the taiyaki ice cream. The mochi ice cream, Japanese-style soy milk donuts, sesame balls, and warabimochi are delicious too. As of January 2025, there are over 70 Kura locations in the US. Between Japan, Taiwan, and the US, the chain has over 670 locations worldwide. The company is headquartered in Osaka, Japan. Japan has the most locations with over 550. Kura is so big that they have their own farms, such as uni farms (sea urchin farms). The company streamlined the conveyor-belt sushi business model. For example, we noticed that during non-peak times, the belts aren't fully stocked. However, come peak dinnertime, the belts are consistently stocked with a good selection. It doesn't matter when you come though, because you can always order the sushi you want if you don't see it on the belt. Also, you don't have to worry about freshness because their system discards sushi that's been sitting out past a certain time limit. Service has been fine, for the most part.

Just in case, this is for the Northside location. I wasn't impressed. One of the biggest issues is when you see a sign for "Sashimi" and there are thick peices of salmon or tuna which looks appetizing. Of course, they charge extra for this, I think it's somewhere around $5-6 for just the salmon alone and it consists of three slices. When you see a picture of the sashimi, you expect a good bite to savor and enjoy. What I got was a lot less value than I could have imagined. Imagine taking a single slice of that bigger "salmon sashimi" you thought you were going to get, only to get three very thinly shaved salmon peices. The amount of which could have been a single slice of the salmon alone. It was like they took the salmon nigiri, took a peice off of that negiri and sliced it into three parts. Everything at this location is way more expensive and no longer a value now. I noticed this with the Doraville location a few months back, but this place is just getting worse and worse everytime I go into one. The service is not this greedy in Japan. This West Midtown location has a great looking environment, but it's sitting on prime new realestate and the overhead costs seems to be dipping into the pockets of the consumer by making it more expensive for things. The Ramen I got was tasty. Everything else was "OK" but $3.50 per plate for two peices of Sushi now where the slices of fish are not balanced to the amount of rice you consume. It's not worth it for this cost. Do yourself a favor. Go for a one off "ohh I went to the sushi conveyorbelt" and get this anywhere but here. Rovolving Sushi Factory has had some good deals and their costs are less or around the same but are not killing the value to your pocket by charging you for a classy West Midtown spot. Otherwise, the Ginya Izakeya town the road or Wagaya or 5/5 and 10x better than wasting your money on Kura at this time. To the operators and hopefully Kura corporate. I've had at least 5 people ask me their opinion on this place and I can't with good concience recommend here. I really hope you look into the operations of your Atlanta stores because you can and DO BETTER elsewhere. I'm a regular "Kura" member for almost 8 years, but these Atlanta locations are BAD. ありがとうございます。

Before landing in this generic apartment building in West Midtown, Kura Sushi went through quite a history. Starting in Japan in 1995, Kura's concept is unquestionably innovative and in many ways, lots of fun. With over 650 locations now worldwide, Kura has become a very substantial chain for the robotic, conveyor belt dining. The team they assembled for this location of Kura is excellent and very attentive, despite the fact that some specifics, such as allergy accommodation have yet to be worked out. Most of the sushi preparations are not bad, yet not amazing, perhaps acceptable for the price. One thing I would avoid at all costs is the Uni, which tastes absolutely horrific. Fishy bitter taste without its signature sweetness or complexity. Just incredibly unpleasant. Thus, for a fun sushi experience, Kura may not be a bad place, but it's difficult to say if it's worth a return visit or a stop out of the way.

I love Kura and have been visiting the one in Doraville since it opened. It is hands down one of my favorite sushi restaurants. This was my first visit to this new location downtown. The food was really good. The sushi was fresh and tasty. The staff were nice and friendly. So the quality of the food was top tier as to be expected. However, if you order items from the menu, they take a very long time to come out. I have never had this experience at the Doraville location before. Even when they have been very busy. When I visited this location it wasn't busy at the time, but the ordered items still took forever. This location is also a little cramped. I couldn't imagine how small it would feel if it was packed. Overall, the food was delicious, so I regret nothing. However, I overall prefer the Doraville location if I get to choose, but if I was already downtown, I would eat at this Kura again, because Kura's Sushi always Slams!

I've been there 5 times so far and they haven't disappointed me. Everything is consistent and fresh! Never a line and the servers are attentive.

Everything is entirely automated so the staff experience basically stops after you are seated-which is not a problem. As the sushi revolves there are several selections, in some cases you can be waiting a while for a particular dish to come back by and it may not be offered on the direct order menu. There is the option to order a few items that come out directly to you, we noticed some items that were listed separately were not able to be ordered on this. Overall, we had a good time and the value for the money was pretty decent.

Fully obsessed with Kura! took my son and longtime pals here for a lunch and it did not disappoint. I was a bit weary the joint would feel gimmicky, but the experience and food were great. sushi was tasty and my 5-year-old loved putting plates away (it's a thing). restaurant itself has an elegant and vibrant interior and the folks were greatly helpful. my broad note is that "The Interlock" is a sprawling complex and you need to be certain about where you're parking. Kura doesn't even show up in the main Interlock directory--it's actually an entire avenue block away from the main place. But they validated parking, which is great. my only suggestion is to be really clear about where to find it and where to park.

Fresh. Fun. And the robot server is only slightly frightening. The place has a cafeteria feel which I kind of dig. Order is super easy and the prices are fair. Never had a bad piece of sushi and the the ice cream with Japanese donuts is tasty! Host was pleasant and informative!

What a fun experience. I've wanted to try one of these revolving sushi restaurants for the longest and was thrilled at the opportunity to try it here in Atlanta! I came with my son right after opening time. We were sat within a few minutes. There seemed to be only two servers/hosts/bartenders who weren't as prompt. I could understand but they don't have much to do. You can order specific items from a menu at your table which comes directly to your table from the conveyor belt. There is also a selection of pre prepared foods available on the lower belt. Drinks are brought to your table by a robot. And empty plate are disposed of by a slot on the table. The only interaction I had with an employee was while being seated and paying (which can also be done at the table with a QR code. Let's get to the food. They have a wide selection of sushi, side dishes, cooked foods, ramen, wings, etc and desserts. I'm not a big sushi eater I typically go for the Americanized rolls with cooked shrimp. That being said I can't imagine how fresh the traditional options are especially the dishes on the lower belts. Those roll along the belt for quite some time. I preferred to place direct orders to ensure the freshness of the food. This is a very casual place. Great for lunch with the kids or a fun night out. It's definitely a fun experience. Paid parking is available in the adjacent structure. I would go again just for the experience and try some of their other options.

Ive been to kura sushi chains in california and shanghai and the quality doesn't drop! The pricing can vary but I really enjoy the seasonal matcha sushi and the food is fresh and delicious in general. Food orders can take a bit of time but overall a pleasant visit

I was elated when I found out Kura was opening a new location in town. As someone who loves the occasional novelty dining experience Kura in Doraville always overperformed. I can say confidently that Kura Midtown may be an improvement off of the Atlanta MSA original. They have an incredible variety of sushi (to me, it seemed like more than the Doraville location). In addition, premium menu items arrive within seconds on the "top tier" conveyor. Can't wait until they get their liquor license for the "full experience". I'll definitely be back!!

My experience was amazing. He remind me when I was in Thailand for a week. Everything came out really fast and fresh, just what I would expect from my top tier sushi experience. Our server was kind and attentive. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!! Go Kura!!!

One of my favorite places in Japan was Kura Sushi, a popular sushi chain that's known for its innovative approach to sushi-making and its use of advanced technology. Therefore, I was so excited when Kura opened in Atlanta! Recommend a booth at the start of the revolving conveyor belt to get first choice at sushi selections. You can also order direct from the menu to get sushi and other food items delivered straight to your booth via the fast conveyor belt. Then after returning a certain number of plates, you are rewarded with a prize! Highly recommend Kura Sushi to anyone looking for a unique and fun way to enjoy sushi. Kura has 2 hour parking validation only for the Interlock Tower garage. Make sure to sign in at the host stand before paying via the parking app.

Came for lunch, and we loved it. The sushi plate sizes are perfect. It lets you try a bunch of different things for a reasonable price. If something doesn't come around quick enough, or you want something sooner, you can order it on the screen and it will pop right out to you when ready. A little robot will bring you your drinks. It's a cute spot. Can't wait to go back.

Great experience! Fresh sushi, and great staff. Will definitely be back! Honestly exceeded my expectations.

This place was so much better than the Doraville location. First off got sat right away on a Sunday afternoon and the toilet was so cool it opened automatically right when I walked in the bathroom and it had a bidet and heated seating! The food was so much more amazing. Not cold and didn't taste old at all! Took a little long to get our drinks and refills, but would return.

I love the concept and it's very fun. Sushi is decent but the technology doesn't seem to work that well. Either management is new or doesn't really care much. They could definitely spend more time cleaning as the tables and floor were dirty.

Probably just a bad night because one of their systems were down which limited options. The sushi we had was good and fresh but there were many empty trays going by so we didn't have a lot to choose from. Service was great and host was very apologetic for the situation.

We love it! Take the kid and it's a great time. Whitney was great and took amazing care of us. We will be back.

The food and service is amazing for just opening. We had many new items to try and all were fun to share . Have to try it for your self plus they have coupons and a rewards program. One cool note they have bidet's with heated seats in the bathrooms if u have never tried one here is your chance . LOL All around fun date night place

Great food and service! Very good quick and easy! Great sushi and desert! Shout out to Elia!

Omg absolutely love & CALVIN made this experience 100000000000% worth it! Very tasty sushi & really amazing vibe! I'm here from Cali & I do not regret stopping in! Calvin made sure he suggested the absolute best & did not disappoint! I will be back every visit , thank you!

This is the third and newest Kura located in GA. Prior to entering the restaurant, there is an electronic sign-in device that gives you a rough estimate of the waiting time. The waiting area is outside and a hostess will call out your name once your table is available. Parking in the garage is validated for the first two hours - the hostess will help you with validating at the front desk before you are seated. To start off, a robot comes by with your drink order. Just take your items and it will be on its way! How to get your food: (1) You can either grab the sushi directly off the revolving conveyor belt, or (2) Place an order on the screen and it zooms to you on a separate track moments later. Once you're done, you will need to dispose your empty plates by sticking them into the plate slot (which automatically counts to calculate your bill). If you have enough plates (15), you get a toy capsule to take home! This place doesn't have high quality fish, but it's the perfect way to enjoy quick and affordable sushi. Altogether it makes for a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the new experience. Really liked most of the sushi we tried. Cold edamame threw me all the way off. Service was great, including the robot helper lol.

I recently visited Kura Sushi, and I have to say, it's a unique dining experience that offers great value for your money. The highlight of the restaurant is its use of technology, which is both fun and practical. Instead of traditional waitstaff, drinks are delivered by robots, and food is served on a conveyor belt that makes its way directly to your table.

Finally, it's open! Kura is such a fun time. You can go alone to grab a few things or go with your friends. I love the variety here. The fish was all fresh and the rice perfect. You can order items individually or grab anything on the conveyor belt. The food came out fast and they were always adding fresh items to the belt! Special shout out to Jeff! He was an amazing server. Great attitude, super helpful, and hilarious! We will def be back.

Kids love this place! Interactive eating with grabbing items off the conveyer belt makes them happy. They eat a ton of ramen and karate chicken every visit. Team who works here is always kind and patient with the little ones and makes it fun.

It was such a fun experience and delicious too! Service is quick. There is a parking lot as it's part of a strip mall. Don't miss out on this super cool experience!

I went in at 3:04 on 12/16 and there was no one at the host stand to seat me. I asked a man at the bar if I should seat myself and he said no. He then walked off. I waited two minute longer and no one showed up.

I regularly frequent both Kura locations in Atlanta and I'm a huge fan. They have friendly service and the sushi is great especially for the price.

Fun casual sushi restaurant with new monthly dishes. Good quality sushi and generally not much of a wait to get in

Just sooo good omg this place is lit. And bomb fr. The sushi is just so delectable and it tastes like Gordon Ramsey cooked it.

Dropped in for a bite after some fun around the city and immediately noticed that the place was not clean. The floors and tables were clearly dirty and sticky, and the food is served on a conveyor belt and the containers for the food were also sticky because the food is raw and also something that is self served. I would expect an establishment like this to partake in better cleanliness habits. I ate four items And left because it made me feel like I would be sick later and I don't wanna risk that lol the food was OK but the fact that things weren't clean made me uncomfortable eating there.

The kitchen is so slow and the food is so mid! What kind of revolving sushi place is this?!?? So poor and staff are all sad. Overall, never coming back, what a waste of establishment

I am extremely disappointed with this restaurant. As a Japanese restaurant, they don't even have wasabi. The fish and shrimp on the sushi weren't fresh. The worst part is, I just got a new credit card less than a week ago and only used it to pay at this restaurant, and it was immediately compromised afterward! There was something off when they processed the payment. When I handed them the card along with the bill, they first returned the bill but didn't give the card back right away. I should have been more cautious. This place is disgusting, stealing credit card information. This is simply unforgivable! BTW, I had dinner with two friends, and their credit cards were all compromised afterward.

We been to the doraville branch a few times, glad to see one closer to home! Good experience. Whitney was kind and always good to see someone who has pride in their job. The salmon nigiris could use a bigger pieces of fish. Our fav was the spider roll, and the Taiyaki ice cream dessert was a pleasant surprise - the taiyaki was nice and hot (a sweet fried dough stuffed with red bean paste) pairs great with the ice cream. Will return!

The staff was very kind and attentive, the food was good and the orders were filled quick.

The hostess was amazing and had a great personality. The food was great and came out very quickly.

While my group did enjoy the food here, I was very disappointed by the staff's lack of knowledge regarding the ingredients. I let our server know that I am vegetarian and specially asked two different servers if two different dishes were vegetarian - both times, both servers said those dishes were vegetarian. However, when I looked up the ingredients for both dishes up online, through Kura's website, I found out that they were not vegetarian because they contained fish sauce/parts. Neither server apologized, they just offered to take the two dishes off the bill. I understand the server not knowing each ingredient but please do not say something is vegetarian when you don't know if it is or not.

Great quality food! The sushi was amazing and the orders were given very quickly! The service was amazing they never hesitated to help us! The ambiance was everything you could want at a revolving sushi bar!!!

I highly suggest going here. It was like a dream, and all of my friends and family loved it. The only downside was that, every time we tried to get something off of the revolving belt, there was no food on the plates. But I thought the robots were very cute! And the servers were very kind.

Had a great experience at Kura. Food is reasonable, beer was cold and staff was friendly. We've been twice a willing return.

I ordered pickup and the food was great! I spent $22.22 and had more than enough rolls to satisfy my sushi craving. I'll definitely be back to dine in for the full revolving aspect of it.

Went for my husband's birthday and we were very happy! We went on a random weekday lunch so I was a little concerned that there wouldn't be as many options but there were tons of options! Tons of nigiri options which I love. I will add that a friend of mine who isn't as comfortable with sushi went at a different time and didn't love the options. This is a great fast casual sushi place for those who love sushi. If you're looking for lots of saucy rolls, you may find the options lacking. The service wasn't amazing, when we got there (again, a weird time) the hostess and the woman behind the bar didn't seem too sure on who should sit us. The woman behind the bar ended up seating us and then the hostess gave us a run down on what to do. It was fine but the service wouldn't be a draw for me to come back.

Inefficient and annoying. I was carded THREE times by THREE different employees for alcohol. It makes no sense! The guy who might've been the manager just seemed so aloof, not a conductor at all. Employees seem unhappy too.
