Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

Super fun and different restaurant in the area. My kids loved the novelty of the sushi conveyor belt and robot waiter, and the food was really pretty good. Be prepared to wait for a table especially on the weekend as it does get quite crowded and parking is limited. We came on a busy Saturday and the variety of food on the conveyor was still great and specialty ordered items came out very quickly. Overall, a fun place to try if you’re in the mood for something different.

If you have never been to a revolving sushi bar, then you should definitely check this place out!. You want sushi? Well, in Kura, the sushincomes to you. All you have to do is pick it up from the conveyor belt and eat away. What a fun experience. Also, a little robot can also bring you drinks.

Walking into this sushi place felt like stepping into a fishy amusement park. For someone not used to seeing their sushi spin around like it's on a culinary merry-go-round, it was quite the spectacle. The nigiri was tasty, though not the freshest catch of the day—think of it as sushi with a mild case of jet lag. I ventured into the world of rolls and tasted the crunchy salmon roll (highly recommend), conch, and American beef. Yes, you read that right—American beef sushi. It's like sushi and a steakhouse had a baby, and it's oddly satisfying. Then came the ramen, which, let’s be honest, I can’t remember the name of because I was too busy being mesmerized by the cooked garlic slices that tasted like they were sent straight from the heavens (you can find it in the top left corner of the screen menu, just follow the garlic angelic glow). For dessert, we indulged in donuts with ice cream. Imagine tempura ice cream’s fun cousin: it has the perfect mix of crunchiness from the donut and sweetness from the syrup in the ice cream. It’s like a carnival in your mouth, minus the creepy clowns. All in all, it’s a wild ride worth taking.

A really fun restaurant to visit though the sushi is not the best quality. It’s a novel idea but it’s really easy to spend a lot of money here before you know it!🍣🍜 The robot that delivers drinks is fun so we specifically ordered drinks to get that experience, however we were sitting so close to the kitchen that a server brought our drinks instead. I’m glad I visited once but I’d rather spend my money on better quality sushi. Pro tip - Download the app to get on the waitlist. You may still have to wait when you arrive but not as long.

an amazing place to go for lunch or dinner. the restaurant is clean, and the staff are accommodating. we have been coming here at least once a month for the past few years. there's only ever been one issue and it was due to a staff member and not anything to do with the food. Kura is a great experience all around and i hope everyone tries to go at least once.

It's a great value, and good variety conveyor belt sushi place. The quality is not impressive. The most annoying thing was that the sticky rice for the nigiri was not sticky enough, so it could easily fall apart. But there were some quite nice plates, pretty decent salmon toro for example and it's a fun experience especially for people who have not done the conveyor belt before. There's even a little robot going around carrying drinks.

Food and service was phenomenal. This was such a fun experience. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes. Food is fresh and tasty. It is all around a great experience for everyone. They have a robot waiter. Staff walked us through the ordering and how to get dishes. This is our new go to place for sushi!

Wonderful experience! Surprisingly affordable, unless you have a 5 year old that takes ELEVEN plates just for herself... but it was so good, she ate all but one plate! Which I gladly helped her finish off. Can't wait to go back.

Giving Kura a 5/5 and this is why: Sushi: I thought almost everything was delish. My roommate pushed me to try a few things outside my comfort zone which I otherwise would not have but all the rolls and items I picked were fabulous. Their menu covers the basics nothing crazy listed. Experience: loved the conveyer belt + being able to order on the iPad too. Service was good too considering they are only really refilling drinks and such. Thought it was a super fun experience. Price: I honestly thought the prices were reasonable especially considering how much you can get for like $35 a person. Overall this experience was great! Not somewhere I'd go every time I have a sushi craving but definitely a fun place to come with a group of friends or date night. Helpful that you can join the wait list before you arrive too. Would go back for sure!

I will never spend another cent at this establishment. The sushi isn't good. It isn't even just ok. It's NOT GOOD. It's awful and not worth the money. You are much better off going to somewhere like Kome and eating some delicious sushi for essentially the same price. The prices here aren't even good! It's expensive. I'd rather not each sushi than go to this place. I genuinely dont understand how they always have a wait. You are much better off walking into 99 Ranch next door and picking up stuff to make your own sushi. Like I am upset that this place is still in business and people think their food is edible. It's literallly not edible. It's incredibly awful. And i'm mad that I spent my time and money here when I could have just gone somewhere else

Love the freshness and flavors and the ambiance. There are super cute little robots that bring you your drink orders and the sushi revolving belt is such a fun experience. If you don't want to wait for the sushi or hot plates of your choice to come around, you can always order them to your table and they will slide straight to your table. It's a really fun experience! Try going not at peak times or on week days to avoid long lines. You can also join the waiting list from the app to cut down on wait time.

While visiting Austin, my wife, daughter, and I decided to check out Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, located in the heart of an Asian strip with plenty of nearby shops, including markets, trinket stores, and a fluffy cheesecake shop, all within walking distance. Kura is one of those places you see in movies, and while I probably won't be back, it was cool to try once. I'd recommend looking at the menu beforehand to know what rolls are available. Each plate is under $4 and usually comes with three pieces of sushi. If you don't see what you want on the conveyor belt, you can order a plate on demand for the same price, which will be delivered to your table via an upper conveyor belt. We also tried a Tonkatsu bowl, which was very garlic-forward and super yummy. Our total for three people, including drinks, was about $65. Not expensive for sushi, but the selection wasn't vast. Overall, it's a fun, novelty experience worth trying once, even if just for the unique atmosphere and convenience of nearby attractions.

The food is still good, just as last time. The service sucks this time. I ordered water and it never came. I called the waitress and waited forever but nobody came. The waiting line for Saturday lunch is very short now, only 10 minutes. It used to be hours. I think this place is not as popular anymore.

This place was super fun! We stopped by for a 5pm dinner after an escape room. It was slightly chaotic but it had a really cute robot drink server so this more than made up for it. Upon entering, you have to put in your name into a little iPad so don't miss that. Then you wait to somehow be checked in by a person so it is slightly confusing why you check into the iPad and then need a human to also check you in. This human check in somehow also then overrode the order of the iPad check in because 3 parties who came in and signed in after us were seated before us and I suspect it is because they were checked in by the human due to where they were sitting (unfair). If you've ever been to a sushi conveyor belt restaurant this one is super similar. Seated at a table, you get access to plates of different sushi bites as they make their way around. You just take the plates you want. You can also order drinks and other dishes (not sushi and sushi) from an ipad at your table and these get either sent out to you on the upper belt or brought over to you by a human server (really wish the robot would have brought ours out - two were bobbing around the restaurant - so CUTE!) Guests are charged a flat fee by plate - it can definitely easily add up so be mindful. Our party of 4, with two beers, a sake and a coke came to $93. Pricey but enjoyable and a fun stop for sure. I took away two stars because of the seating mix up (people who came in after us being seated before us with the same amount of people) and because we had to ask our server for wasabi (this and chopsticks could have been brought out without asking). Also, the place just overall felt/looked a bit "dingey". Maybe if it was painted a brighter color it would look and feel cleaner.

This was a fun experience. Me and my two kids really enjoyed our time there. BUT, I have an expensive taste in sushi and seafood and pretty much every option I chose tasted VERY fishy and not fresh. I had the Uni, raw hokkaido scallop, raw sweet shrimp, conche, and the Kazunoko (herring roe). Everything I ate just wasn't good quality. I now know what to expect and next time we go and there WILL be a next time, I know what to order and what not to order. The cooked items such as ALL of the small plate appetizers, the noodle dishes, and the hot dishes seem to be very good. The tempura shrimp was huge sticks and a deliciously and light tempura sauce. We did pay almost $9 for two sticks though. The takoyaki was so yummy. And the Taiyaki ice cream (deep fried pasty fish filled with red bean paste) was FIRE!!!!! Do NOT go there expecting quality sashimi or other raw sushi.

Ordered take out because was craving sushi and did not want to wait 2+ hours for a table. All in all ok sushi for what it is and the price. Ordering online was easy and convenient and had all the options including the toy you get after the 15 orders. They did mess up my order which accounts for my review rating and I called them and they happily fixed everything by providing the missing products so ok I suppose. Hopefully my next experience will be better.

It's not about the quality or even the quantity. Going into Kura, you should know that it's all about the experience. Pulling plates off the conveyor belt is exciting-you never know what you'll find-and getting certain hot dishes and drinks delivered to you via a singing robot is certainly novel, if not somewhat unnerving at first. Your best bet, by far, is to special order items in the tablet, to have them sent directly to your table on the express belt above the main line. The food is so much more fresh and flavorful. By far the best thing I got was the vegetable hand roll, which was a good portion, full of crisp, cold cucumbers, carrots, and avocado, paired against still warm sushi rice. The wrapping was a bit haphazard and fell apart in my hands, but we're not fancy here. This is a casual spot and you shouldn't take it too seriously. Fun for a change of pace, not fine cuisine.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was tops. Our waiter seemed less than enthused so service could be slightly improved, but it wouldn't stop us from coming back. My fiancé had a great time and delicious food.

Disappointed in the decrease in value. Price of sushi plate increased from $2.25 in 2018 to $4.70 currently. Despite the increase, quality of fish is about the same: passable and satisfies the craving. Rice falls apart and is often undercooked/overcooked. My party of 4 ate with a total of $188 after tip!!! This is the price point of many dedicated sushi restaurants with better quality fish! Bowl of ramen from $5.80 to $11. Broth quality was significantly worse and the piece of chashu i got was 70% fat. Could go to Marufuku to pay $15 for a larger quantity and high quality ingredients. Service is reduced to a robot bringing drinks. Drinks are watered down with ice because it takes so long to load the robot and have it drive over. Everything is wet from splashing around. Wasabi comes in single serve plastic containers. Human service have to be called on the tablet for refills. With these unfortunate changes, the only thing Kura has going is its novelty. I've loved Kura over the years for an affordable dose of sushi but unfortunately this is no longer the case.

A New Neighbor friend from NextDoor took me here. I Loved it, because it was new to me!! The Food came out Basically immediately, after ordering it on the Computer Screen. We ordered our Appetizers, Sushi, drinks, and even dessert! The robot waiter service was a bit wonky, but a person came, when it was needed. The Ambiance was lively, I would not mind going there, again, except, I do not drive...

Kura's offers a fun sushi experience which is especially great for out of town guests or young sushi lovers. Guests are sat in booths where a conveyor belt runs along one side continuously full of small covered plates of sushi, sashimi, rolls, cold sides, and desserts. To get your food you tip the plate a bit and it opens up for you to take it out. The betl has as many of two plates of each item at a time although if someone else ahead of you on the belt takes what you want you might have to wait a few rounds to get your item of choice but we came on a Tuesday afternoon when it wasn't too busy so we didn't have to wait for much. There is a tablet at the end of the booth where you order drinks and hot items off the menu. The drinks are delivered by a robot but you have to call the server for refills. Hot items are served up on a second conveyer belt above the main one and they stop directly at your table but you have to be good and take it off or you hold up the orders of others and the staff will have to come prompt you to get your order. Your tab is tabulated based on the number of plates. To keep track of that you deposit your plates in a slot when you are done and the computer keeps track of the number. The plates that have special orders are colored differently so you don't get double charged for those. They have prizes if you order 15 dishes. I wish there was a smaller prize hurdle for smaller tables as there was no way my table of two was going to eat 15 plates. That said you can buy the prizes separately if its important to you. The decor, seating, and staff give off strong diner like vibes. We were waited on by various staff and they were various levels of friendly and helpful. The food was good but not amazing which is fine as we'd come for the experience and it delivered on that. It doesn't join the ranks of my favorite sushi places in town but its top of the list for a fun experience with guests and sushi loving youngsters.

Enjoyed our expedition today at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. It was an eye opening event for me. Seen sushi boats before and but seeing the conveyor belt drive meals around the restaurant was interesting. Also, the robot that delivered drinks was very special. The food was average, but the price wasn't bad at all. It's a fun excuse to drop by for a visit and a better choice than going to McD's for lunch. Worth the visit!

Staff is very friendly but this is one of those places where "you get what you pay for." The fish quality was questionable at best (scallops should not be the color of a hurried spray tan) and the rolls were smothered in Kewpie mayo. BUT each plate is $3.30 and can come with anywhere from 1-3 pieces so you really can't complain. Use this review as a cautionary tail as I sit on my couch wondering whether I have food poisoning.

This place is awesome! The robots delivering drinks, the revolving sushi, the fun prizes you can get for ordering specific items, and the great food. Great for kids, great for a date, the food is good, the service is good. Just be aware that it's popular so you will have to wait during peak hours. Other than that, this place is really fun.

This has been a favorite treat for my kids for a while now. The food still seems good but I'm sorry to say that the service seems to be gradually slipping into rudeness. Last year we ordered the taiyaki which comes a la mode: one person at our table was not given a spoon. When asking for a spoon, I was scolded for asking because "we are busy." Today as I sit to wait another "fifteen minutes" for my takeout order, I recall that when I tried to ask for water, I was scolded for not ordering the water correctly. Overall the staff seem stressed out, angry, rude, and almost hateful. I would urge the manager to either raise these people's pay if they have a reason to be angry, or else simply hire more people and nicer people. I'm not sure I will be coming back after seeing how disorganized this place is today--the revolving sushi mechanism is broken and the iPad ordering system also gave us trouble. The guests next to us were so loud we had to ask to be moved to a different table so we could hear each other. These same guests were moving so rowdily in their booth that I was being continually bumped through the booth back support. But hey at least they let us move one table away. Add to this that the robot music is insanely loud and this was not our best trip here. It makes me extremely sad to say it but this place seems to be going downhill and in fact it isn't even crowded anymore! I can see why. :o(

Super fun and different restaurant in the area. My kids loved the novelty of the sushi conveyor belt and robot waiter, and the food was really pretty good. Be prepared to wait for a table especially on the weekend as it does get quite crowded and parking is limited. We came on a busy Saturday and the variety of food on the conveyor was still great and specialty ordered items came out very quickly. Overall, a fun place to try if you're in the mood for something different.

You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round. Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round. Sorry but being a kid during the 80s and an aficionado for the pop culture from said era I couldn't resist. After the silly song ran circles in my mind the second thought that came to mind was SUSHI! I'm a former chef who lived in Charleston SC so I'm used to "off the boat fresh fish" and I've had the privilege to have frequented San Fran, in its better days, enjoying their seafood as well. That said one night several years ago I saw this TV show on "conveyor belt sushi" and I've wanted to try it ever since. Well, obviously mission accomplished. Before I get this review rolling, I want to mention two things, the metro train has a stop right by, so for those who like to ride the rails you're in luck. Secondly the Asian dominated shopping center is fairly safe however right outside of the area seems sketchy. Practice discretion if you're not so fortunate to find a space in the immediate vicinity. That said, walking up to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is like any other shopping center however walking in, I was giddy as a school kid, 3 "peninsulas" jutted out from the far wall with two conveyor belts on them. Generally, I notice the wait station, décor and lobby area first but what I came to learn is this place is more geared toward style over substance; a roundabout point I'll continue to emphasize. That said, the place is safe, the patrons are diverse and pleasant while the wait staff intentionally has limited engagement. After sitting down, the waitress came and laid out how things work, a good thought to note. Honestly, I half paid attention b/c I saw all this wonderful food consistently riding the track beside me. It's a very cool gimmick to be sure. I won't bore you with how it works but I'll get into the substance. Finally, they give you a little box full of ginger and for those who don't know, ginger is meant to clean the mouth between bites. Be sure to check your wasabi (it's not real wasabi but what most Americans would call wasabi) as mine wasn't enough even for me, much less another person. My girlfriend is somewhat less adventurous than me in terms of seafood while I was ready to dive in. To acclimate her palate for sushi we started with the seared beef with yakiniku sauce. Regrettably I found the meat was chewy and the sauce lacked any punch. Note to the readers, sushi is an art just as much as it is sustenance. There's a "zin" balance between slight variations in heat among other contrasts. The rice should be warm while the fish cold. This defines the next sample; tuna nigiri which is just fish and rice. Everything was lukewarm thus a slight disappointment surrounded my face. The problem with the belt mentality is the food rotates along the track until someone picks it up, thus the "hobos" might be riding a long time before you pull it off the track. We sampled the edamame and it lacked salt which helps even though I'd say everyone dips them in soy. A small oversite in my humble opinion. Our drinks arrived, not by human hand but by robot. This was so cool, yet disturbing in the same breath. I'm all for efficiency and technology however this does cut down on the staff. But I digress as it was such an interesting theme. The robot has a screen and shows you the order, turns around with a tray and you take your drinks off only to see it say "it's going back now" and plays some cute anime music while it wheels off. Awesome! There's also a menu that isn't on the lower conveyor which can be accessed via a pad at the table. It gives updates on the order and whoosh your order flies in on the top belt, stopping at your table. I will say, the tempura shrimp was very excellent. Two, huge hot shrimp lightly battered while not being greasy; heck even my girlfriend who hates shrimp liked it even eating a whole shrimp (I had anticipated her not liking it thus I could finish it for her). Next the Shoyu Ramen was very good. The pork belly was unctuous, tender and flavorful, perched on top of a pretty good soy-based broth with tons of noodles. It was probably both of our favorite items we had during our visit. Other items we sampled were the spider roll and rainbow roll both suffered from low quality fish and "grocery store" temperature issues. The biggest disappointment from the belt; the crab leg meat on rice. It tasted freezer burnt to me and really wasn't appetizing as it just took me out of the experience. Overall the restaurant is a very cool place to try at least once. The concept is definitely unique while the price isn't too high however it's almost fast-food sushi quality above what can be purchased at the grocery store. I will come back one more time just to bring my kids but I wouldn't ever come back to satisfy a sushi craving.

I used to live right down the road from Kura and man do I miss being that close. It's fun and the food is usually excellent. It loses a star for two reasons: the price of plates has increased more than once in recent years and I don't like the service robots. The music they blare is WAY too loud and will interrupt any conversation at the table. That being said, it's still mostly affordable for sushi, the selection is great, and the Tokyo conveyor belt style is really entertaining! Also, don't skip on the yellowtail. Some of the best I've ever had.

Checked in with the hostess only for them to tell me to use the computer. After using the computer the hostess called a bunch of people that came after us. After 20 min I went back to the hostess and he said I didn't check in with HIM so he skipped us even after knowing we checked in with him and the computer. Rude ass hostess and manager didn't do anything.

いらっしゃいませ Irasshaimase which means Welcome in the Japanese language and that's what the staff loudly greets the guests as soon as entering the restaurant then get seated. This is a contact less restaurant. A Japanese fast- food style of serving sushi where small plates sushi and nigiri dishes are carried out and revolved throughout the dining area on a conveyor belt like a sushi train. Diners can reach and grab the dish plate of your liking off a pop up container and start eating and NO WAITING at all ! Ordered drinks from the mobile app are brought to the table by Using their KURA Mobile App provided per booth , you order your drinks and they are served by a robot waiter. How cool is that. Service waiters walk around if you need anything like i have to use a fork lol, chopsticks are not my friends . Special menu like the ramen , udon soups , bento box combos, tempuras, dumplings and special desserts are ordered thru the Kura Mobile App and delivered also through a different conveyor belt to the diners. There is a small shoot slide to clear your table of those used and empty plates. A prize machine dispenses a prize after a certain number of plates are returned. I had the : yummy Seared Salmon topped with mayo Soft shell crab tempura that I was dissatisfied since batter was too thick and barely can taste the crab Chicken fried dumplings were ok but I prefer pork which they didn't have. My son highly recommended the TAIYAKI ICE CREAM for dessert and that was really delicious. The warmth crispiness of the fish shaped mold with sweet red bean paste filling was to die with a side small scoop vanilla ice cream and small amount of sweet red bean.

I was skeptical of the freshness of this rotating sushi bar, but every single thing we had was delicious. I tried eel, yellowtail, scallops, steak... Everything was prepared to perfection. Each offering is 2-3 pieces typically. At about $3 per plate, it's a fantastic deal. The service was quick and kind. I will absolutely go back.

I come here a lot with friends and family and it's always a fun way to get several options of sushi! The sushi isn't the best quality but there is a large variety of sashimi and rolls, as well as hot foods like ramen and fried small bites. I recommend the seared salmon with japanese mayo, the shishito salmon skin, and the eel hand roll- my personal favorites! During the weekend the wait time can get super long so I recommend checking in online through the app. There is a lot of shopping options in the plaza so even if there is a wait there are a lot of places to walk around! And every 15 plates you eat you can get a prize from one of their machines so it is a cute way to get little souvenirs.

We ate here with my parents since they preferred to eat sashimi and sushi. I've tried three of their locations: San Jose, CA, Sacramento, CA, and here in Austin, TX. Each one have their differences. This location in Austin is pretty typical. You choose a plate off of the revolving conveyor belt. We went in during lunch hour and to my observation, it appeared as if the foods were not consistently being filled on the conveyor belt. There was more of the non raw stuff. I would wait and wait looking out for more raw. I was telling my parents that the possibility that this location probably caters to what majority of people are more likely to eat. Coming from California, raw sashimi and raw sushi is pretty common and that is our go to when eating out to a sushi restaurant. My expectations were pretty low anyway coming in. Sacramento, CA location is also not so spectacular either.

So, here I am back again 6 years later, decided to give it another try. My last visit was vivid, I remembered my last experience but now, the restaurant seems more well ran, organized, so time makes things better but time didn't make the sushi taste any better either. This time, more options were available, this time, slightly better experience, the taste was much improved, but still felt like a 6/10. Sushi rice was better, didn't fall apart when picked up with chop sticks, the fish was fresher and the cuts were thicker, the takitori tasted raw in the middle, but overall the experience was ok. It's just a fun place to take your kids or go on a fun experience.

Kura Sushi is a game-changer for sushi lovers! It's a fun and interactive experience with a great selection of fresh Japanese dishes. The conveyor belt keeps things exciting, and the "Bikkura Pon" game with prizes for collected plates adds a playful twist. Definitely download their app to check wait times and score loyalty points for tasty rewards! Whether you're a sushi newbie or a seasoned pro, Kura Sushi is a must-try.

This is my 3rd time coming to Kura. It is always busy so it's best to check in as soon as possible. We were seated quickly on a Sunday, which I was surprised by. It's conveyor belt service so the dishes come around and you simply lift the plate to take what you want. If you rather order with a service or on the mobile tablet you can do that as welll! I loved trying the garlic skip jack tuna which was new to the menu! Each pate is about $3.30 each

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is a good concept and there have been lots of reviews. It was busy when we arrived, which is a good sign. There is some minor improvements that can be made to make the place a little more clean and modern. Sushi was pretty good, not the best I've had but still good. You pay $3.50 per plate. Between 2 of us, we got 19 plates. I'm on the fence if I'd want or need to go back.

The conveyors are a novel experience that's a bit fun. The top conveyor is an express delivery system for personal one off items, which is neat. Everything we had was bland and mediocre at best. The worst miso soup I've ever had. The robots deliver drinks to multiple tables in a single visit. That's not cool. That means my open drink was at somebody else's table for them to accidentally or purposefully drop something in it. Maybe they picked it up and smell it to see if it's theirs? Just a really stupid idea. Service by our waiter was a bit surly. It's not obvious how you're supposed to get refills. For a dining experience that's supposed to be "automated", it takes a lot of explaining and intervention by the servers to make it happen.

I really hate this place. I hate it to the core. I hate that my kids get sucked into the marketing and gimmicks. I hate the line. I hate the microscopic blades of meat sitting on top of the badly made sushi rice. I hate tipping for robot service. I hate the fatty, inedible, chewy filament of beef that they serve in their bad udon. I hate the filler watermelon "dessert" that they charge you $4.00 for, as much as an entire watermelon. I wish ill on this restaurant and its robot servers.

It gets less and less worth it to come here. The new method of checking in sucks ass and the prices keep increasing. When checking in via waitlist, you used to be given a number/spot.

We came here on a Friday early evening about 5:30 PM. Checked in via the app and checked in when we arrived. Short wait of 5 minutes. This location kind of lacked in service compared to other locations. We never received dedicated server so we didn't know who to ask for things. Staff seemed overwhelmed. They may have been understaffed that day. Basics which are usually at the table were not there like soy sauce and napkins. It is definitely a unique experience with conveyor belt. You can order certain dishes on the screen and it's delivered to your table via top conveyor belt.

I've been to Kura locations all throughout Southern California and this is definitely the largest one I've ever been to. Everything is bigger in Texas as they say. **Download the app and join the waitlist before you head there!!!!!** Kura is great and satisfies the sushi craving and is also a fun activity for grabbing dinner with friends. The fish was good quality and I love that you can also order straight to your table. The toro is absolutely amazing but is only 1 piece per order! The hand rolls are huge and tasty. I would recommend finishing off with one to fill you up!

We ate LOTS of sushi. You can order through the tablet at the top-there's sushi, hot food like rice and noodles, drinks, and ice cream with their prices. You can also grab from the revolving conveyor belt. After you fishing eating, you may return the plates through the slot on the side of the wall. Every 15 plates you return grants one capsule. All the plates count! We thought only the green counted, so we ordered a bit more haha. They have a Demon Slayer promotion and we got Nezuko and Tanjiro keychains from the capsules. It is good to come with more people-we came with 5- so you can try a variety of sushi as each plate has around 2-3 pieces. Sushi tastes good, but presentation is a little lacking. The fish are not glistening. There is soy sauce and wasabi available, but I like to eat the sushi as is to taste all the flavors. Reservations are recommend because this place is usually packed and if you walk in, wait times are long. We put down our name and waited around 1 hour.

If you have a craving for sushi but only want a little bit, this is the place for you! The sushi is available for grabs on its revolving bar or you can order on the tablet and have it delivered straight to you on a separate converter belt. Make sure to download to Kura app to join the waitlist as it does get pretty busy during lunch and dinner, to be frank, I don't think I've seen the place not packed/busy. The prices have skyrocketed due to COVID and inflation, so plates as far as I know are about $2.75 (I remember when they were only $1.25-$1.50). For that, it's a little more difficult to enjoy the concept of the restaurant and sushi prices for what it was known for. My favorite sushis include the Aburi Salmon, Aburi Eel, Dashi Olive Salmon, Seared Salmon Japanese Mayo, and definitely more. I cannot find another place that does their taiyaki ice cream the same as Kura, so it is a big reason I still go to Kura for their delicious dessert!

Fun but pricey sums this place up. Conveyor belt sushi is definitely novel and there's even games based on how many plates you finish but that adds up pretty quick. But if you needed to kick your bucket list, here's your chance. That said, sushi itself is ok. Quality is so so. umami oil salmon was probably my favorite nigiri and really the only one to write home about. Karaage is really good here (fried chicken bites) as it has a great crunch and flavor. Ramen is a tiny bowl of average noodles but has all your accompaniments.

I learned the hard way that "cheap" and "sushi" really shouldn't be in the same sentence. My girlfriend and I both got pretty horrible food poisoning from them back in September. (And yes, I can say this for certain, Kura was the only place we together for four days prior and after). We both bad to miss out on a few days of work and cancel plans. Prior to that instance, I've received plates with old food caked on, the table side wasabi was dry and discolored and the plate slots were covered in rotting food. It's a cool and fun concept but the food handling and sanitary situation really needs to be addressed.

Super fun place for the whole family. I was slightly thrown off by the cafeteria vibe though? They always have long wait times. So download their app and join ahead of time! We have had better food, but all in all the kids had fun w the drink robots and how the food was delivered.

This is the 2nd Kura branch we have been to and their seafood is much fresher than the San Antonio branch. Service is so-so but the conveyor belt is always fun plus it very affordable.

Me and my son went to dinner for my 17 year olds birthday. He wanted to go here and try it out. Great options whether sushi or Raman a few other items that were delicious a little something for everybody the robot that brings the drinks was definitely the topper. Very cool, the fresh items came hot and delicious. We had the Roman which was phenomenal and just about every sushi on there. Nothing disappointed we will definitely be back for the fun and we did get a prize.

Took forever to get seated, almost 2 hours, but once we did the service was good. Loved the robot delivery! The rotating sushi was fun, although there were many instances of empty trays, would like to see faster replacement but nevertheless ordering sushi cane really fast. Not here for the sushi, here for the experience.

Kura is a great place to try a variety of items, of decent quality, for an affordable price. The vibe is great for kids with the entertaining conveyor belt service. Is it fantastic sushi? Not quite. Pretty good sushi? Most definitely. Consider this - Most sushi spots in Austin offer pieces of nigiri that average anywhere from $4 - $6 for a basic salmon nigiri (sashimi slice on top, rice underneath.) Compare that to Kura's $3.30 for two pieces of nigiri, ~$1.60 per piece. Quality control could be better. Sometimes a slice is VERY thin, like 2 quarters in thickness. Sometimes the rice doesn't maintain form and falls apart in nigiri, sometimes tuna doesn't have that bright color freshness. This will come to personal taste. For the most part, they are pretty good. I think the strong points are the rice vinegar seasoned rice and wasabi. Typical stores (grocery sushi, paste, squeeze bottles) are usually US horseradish vs traditional wasabi imported from Japan (crazy difficult to grow) and don't have that shot-to-the-back-of-the-brain/-make-you-cry kick. It's a tad bit lighter & chunkier. If you can be happy with slightly less quality for a more affordable price, visit Kura. My favorites are the tamago and salmon nigiri. 7/10 Fabs!

Sushi is not the best but decent and I love the self serve/automated/ conveyer belt experience especially if you're famished. We went on a Friday afternoon so it wasn't too crowded and employees were attentive. They have this yuzu cream sauce that's very good. We ordered hand rolls as well which takes a little longer to arrive since it's a special order.

I enjoyed the fun experience at Kura Revolving Sushi, but found some dishes lacking in flavor. The revolving concept was entertaining, but the overall taste didn't quite match the excitement. Decent, but room for improvement. The service was lacking and unfortunately, we didn't receive our water during our dining. Plus the wait during weekends can be quite long. Improved service would significantly enhance the overall dining experience.

5 stars for what it is. Just realize that there is some perfect, mind-blowing sushi in Austin. This isn't 5 stars because it's the best--it's because it's quite good at a great price. Almost every item is good and we've never had a time where it wasn't good. I recommend making reservations on their site / app if you're coming on the weekend. Kura is a Japanese chain of conveyer belt sushi restaurants that is rapidly spreading across the US. Reliably good sushi. We've been here 15 times or so and it's always great. And we can eat to our fill for about $18-25 a person. Check out the rotating menu, because it's often the best stuff. One of my favorites is the salmon skin. It's just perfectly cooked every time!

Great food, self service pretty much, good amount of seating. There's always busy so make sure you get on the waitlist before you get there.

This place was soooo fun! I couldn't stop grabbing more plates, it's like a game (paying for it wasn't fun afterwards though but I have no regrets LOL). It's about $3 per plate. There were so many sushi options. You can see if you want anything on the conveyor belt or there's also a screen to order what you want separately. The wait is always long here on weekends. I recommend going inside the restaurant as soon as possible to put your name on the waitlist. The quality of the sushi was decent, nothing high end but definitely worth the experience. I really enjoyed the Toro and the beef nigiri. Very good service. They have a robot there to deliver your drinks as well, it's super cute.

One of the most fun sushi concepts in Austin, the conveyor belt delivery is very unique and very suitable for families. I love the ability to pick exactly what you want straight of the conveyor and if you're ever tired of the wait, you can order directly off the screen to have it delivered to your table right away. The restaurant recently upped their tech game and now deliver your drinks by an automated robot. The staff is always super sweet and friendly. My favorites would have to be their Sweet Shrimp and all of its variations. I think my family and I pretty much always come here for their Sweet Shrimp. One of the better quality pieces here and one of the best value for the price. Their salmon and their tuna is really great too but the quality does vary based on the day that you go. Normally, we don't have too many problems with it but the most recent time, it was quite mid. We mainly had issues with their Tuna and the Hamachi Yellowtail. For all the plates that we had with both the yellowtail and the tuna, there was just am extremely strong sense of fishiness. I am really hoping that it was a one off situation. Aside from that, everything else was up to standard and we had a good experience. Tips: - If you come during lunch or dinner time - you definitely need to either book via the app or be prepared to get in the waiting line for 1-2 hours. Good thing is that the shopping center in the area is quite fun so you have plenty of activities to you keep busy during the wait. - POINT SYSTEM, if you set up an account on their app, you can earn points towards a $5 gift card. This is especially great if you come with family or plan to come here often! - Be careful on the drinks screen, with the new system that they have implemented, they do not have a confirmation pop up. We made this mistake and accidentally ordered a plum shot.

While this is a very Japanese style revolving sushi bar and is extremely fascinating, most of the food is just not the best. It's good mind you, but a facsimile of good. Like a picture put through the copier too many times it's a bit below par. The sushi is hastily put together and is very thin. The rolls are pretty good and the choices are many. That's what makes up (almost) for the quality. The miso ramen had good flavor but the noodles were stuck together. Passable but sub par as well. The robot drink service is fascinating and the actual human service is attentive and responsive. It had an atmosphere of an actual Tokyo rotating sushi bar that I've been to. Cartoon Hello Kitty style and all. Overall we will be back as it did offer tons of options, even if they weren't as high quality as an actual sushi restaurant. Maybe that's the point.
