We waited quite a while to come to Kura despite hearing about the grand opening date about a couple months prior, the line always seem to be extremely long so we wanted to wait for the crowd to die down a bit.
We arrived before noon on a weekend, while I was getting ready to sign in through the tablet at the door, one of the staff came out to greet us and immediately had us seated.
We've been to other Kura sushi internationally, I would say the biggest difference upon first look is that they do not have matcha powder and hot water at the table (free in our prior experience), totally understand operation is different in different region, so no points deducted.
The other set up, from the ordering system to the conveyor belt and container are all very similar.
I normally don't eat fish, but seeing what was offered, I tried couple different otoro options. The toro tasted fresh, quality way surpass all conveyor belt sushi in town, but not as good as locations in Asia.
Tamago nigiri, inari, and kappa (cucumber) roll are the staples for my kids. The Tamago is definitely the authentic traditional style and tasty, inari was very average, kappa was fresh and nothing stands out but I also didn't expect that to be unique.
My favorite part about Kura is that they offer beef nigiris, oh boy, super tastyyy!
I will also note that wasabi is the real stuff, as in grinded from the plant and not chemically made, the scent, texture, and taste of the wasabi is fantastic.
We finished off with a Taiyaki, which we thought was a bit too oily, not sure if it's supposed to be fried, despite saying all that, it was delicious.
Knocking half a star off for not having a lower tiered pricing for the most basic sushi items. Overall an enjoyable and fun meal!
