Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

Loved this place and the service. Small restaurant, hidden in the corner of a two story strip mall on a busy street, but it was packed and we had to wait for a table. I found out you can reserve a table on their app which I would highly recommend. The food was fresh, fun to see the options on their rolling conveyer belt that goes around every table, to chose from. You pay per plate you take and slide the used plates in a slot for adding the total. You can also custom order from the pad above your table and those orders come to your table on the upper deck of the conveyer belt. It was fun to see a robot deliver our drinks. Great food and service was great.

Getting in is a nightmare. The website says no reservations, the reviews say there's a waitlist, and the restaurant says you *have* to make a reservation if you don't want to stand around waiting for 3 hours (not an exaggeration. We got there at 7 and they said their next open table would be at 10pm!). They don't make reservations in person or over the phone, it's app only. The app is super confusing and doesn't even tell you that you can make a reservation. I couldn't tell you under threat of death how we even managed to figure it out. Hopefully they fix that soon. We showed up 5 minutes early for our reservation (on attempt 2) and still had to wait 30 minutes to get seated. The street is crazy busy, it's kind of an ordeal to get into the parking lot, and there's two guys stationed out front who will charge you $6 cash to park. If you can make it past all these ridiculous road blocks, the restaurant itself is pretty neat. It's a cool concept and fun to watch the conveyor belt go by and snatch plates off it. The sushi itself is also pretty good and reasonably priced ($4 per plate as of October 2025, most plates have 2 pieces). Not sure if it's worth the hassle to go a second time (technically a 3rd since it took us 2 tries to get in), but I do think it's worth experiencing once.

Fun times, decent quality (especially the sweet ebi, scallops, yuzu salmon, yellowtail sashimi), good value. You can order at your speed and time the meal. In and out in 30 minutes or have fun for about 75 minutes. You do get full, especially full rice nigiris!

Kura Revolving Sushi was so much fun! I went with my niece and nephew and we enjoyed every dish we tried. They have a great variety of sushi and small plates, and the best part is you don’t have to wait for something to come around on the belt. You can order exactly what you want and it arrives fast! The service was really friendly and And I just love Sawtelle, it’s such a fun, vibrant neighborhood. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to.

My sister and I love coming here! It’s an affordable option for sushi and I love that you can try so many different things. I recommend ordering things like the spicy crispy rice from the tablet so you have a fresher and warmer version. I was pleasantly surprised by the pumpkin mochi dessert. The mochi was crispy and the ice cream was thick and creamy. I’ve had a lot of mochi but I’ve never had anything like this.

We had an awesome time at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar! Our main mission was to try the sushi from the conveyor belt — and it was totally worth it. Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. We devoured over 15 plates and even got a fun little prize at the end — such a cute bonus! The place was busy but super efficient. Service was quick, friendly, and the whole vibe was clean and upbeat. Oh, and the green tea? So good — warm, earthy, and perfect with the sushi. A perfect spot for sushi lovers. We’re already planning our next visit to try even more dishes!

Excellent japanese place with a conveyor belt indicating the names of the sushi and other dishes. So you just push the button and pull out the dish. And enjoy the same various varieties of salmon crab meat, tuna napaji deserts, and a variety of desserts from cheesecake to watermelon, sesame rolls and ice creams. Excellent place to go out with a family and just feel yourself. Seeing and appreciating the taste around the quora restaurant. When visiting Los Angeles, it is a must place to try for a very, very unique sushi experience. I give it all the way five stars. Kids enjoy small gifts after number of plates are inserted as eaten

I had been to a Kura location in Austin, Texas and really enjoyed it, so I was excited when I found out that there is location in LA, so I made reservation to celebrate my birthday with my family there. The food was good: the sushi was fresh, and we didn’t have to wait for what we wanted on the revolving bar. However, one issue really spoiled the experience: I wanted to redeem my birthday dessert offer. The app said to “call the server,” so we did. I said we want to redeem birthday offer and showed the QR code, and the server told us to click through the digital menu, but didn’t explain what we were actually doing, just told us where to tap. We were assuming that there is special instruction on how to redeem offers. Then we realized that we were guided through checking out. You cannot eat more if you checked out, but that was fine since we were nearly done eating, but no one explained what was happening, and what if we still wanted to continue eating? Our server left, then another waiter came, we asked about our dessert, he scanned the QR code, and we waited for the dessert. Then the server brought the check. When we asked about the birthday dessert, he looked at the receipt and said we wouldn’t be getting it because it has to be ordered while you’re still eating and before checking out, and offer can be redeemed only during checkout. This was never explained in the app (it just said to call the server) or by the staff, it felt like they just assumed we knew how it worked. We explained that no one told us, and the server simply said, “Come next time and do it right.” (Next time?? Like next year for my next birthday???) We asked if it was still possible to get the dessert, considering the confusion. Communication was very difficult, most of the servers didn’t speak English well, but eventually they called the manager. The manager clearly explained the process and kindly agreed to bring us the dessert to-go. We did get it in the end, but the whole situation was upsetting and left us disappointed.

Always a goodie! I am a big fan of this place to get a quick fix for sushi. The wait can be long at times because it's so popular but if you come earlier when it opens or for an early dinner you usually can get in with a shorter wait (pro tip: join the waitlist on their app as you head over!) It's a casual atmosphere with tables and also some seats close to the conveyor belt. I'm a big fan of the salmon skin with shishito peppers, hand rolls and the miso salmon with cream cheese! I generally like to freshly order my items from the screen and then pull an item or two from the conveyor belt. Prices can't be beat although you may not realize how much you can eat once you sit down! Parking is available and validated in a subterranean garage.

A nice spot! Lily was unbelievably kind and helpful. Sushi was tasty and we tried some new things. The little robot is so funny but it did spill ~50% of our drinks when it got to us and the thing that's supposed to give a prize after 15 plates does break quite often. Parking is free for one hour if you spend $10 at any store in this plaza but if you spend longer you'll have to pay. And definitely join the waitlist through their app! I can't remember too well but I think when we went most plates were $3.85 each. So if you're thinking of getting a prize you will be spending almost $60 for around 30 pieces of sushi and a small charm. There's small booths and places for individual seating. Get food by lifting the plate up, the lid will pop open. All standard procedure. Definitely a fun place!

Definitely one of the better Kura sushi bars out here. Years ago I first tried this in Irvine and it was still new to the US but it was incredible! I think it was even called Kula back in the day. Now it's popped up more which is great! We went to the one in Little Tokyo maybe about a year ago and service was god awful, don't know how they are still open. Wasn't expecting anything great from this location but they handled the texting system with grace and every single one of the workers here are incredibly nice. We sat at the bar for once since everything else was full and it was the only one available at the time, no problem. The chairs are super tall and you're basically touching shoulders, they probably could've spread it out a little better or have better chairs. You basically have to get out one at a time because they're so touchy. The food is great as always. I always go for a few yellowtail and some seared scallops with Japanese mayo, delicious! They had One Piece themed prizes in the machines when we went so I'm sure it was more popular and busy than usual. Great spot and would definitely come back! Always fun to eat for prizes lol.

NOVEL EXPERIENCE! This is two doors down from DAISO and we stumbled upon it. It is a PAINFULLY small parking area, however, you can get one hour free parking if you spend $10 in any of the surrounding stores, including THIS one! Just the experience alone; of wrestling with the 'dome covered' moving pieces of your meal, slipping your used plates in a table slot, and their robot delivering your drinks, makes it all worthwhile! It's noisy, it's crowded. . . Is the food quality good? Nah. But WHO CARES! It's the experience you're after, RIGHT? They have other locations according to Yelp, that appear cleaner and easier to get to. The staff here was above average, friendly and patient, as you DO need INSTRUCTION on HOW to remove your food plate from the conveyor belt. . . You don't want to be dragged along the conveyor belt, knocking everybody's plates off their table, because you refused to let go of the dome gizmo do you? YOU DO NEED TO TRY IT AT LEAST ONCE, FROM 'ONE' OF THEIR LOCATIONS ! Have fun! We sure did!

I haven't been to Kura sushi in years. All their dishes are $3.75 each (as of June 2024) and I have to admit their portion seems smaller than I remember. Or maybe I just got bigger lol Anyways, after 15 plates a blind toy from the series Dragon Ball will slide out from the machine above you. We got to have some stickers and it was a fun novelty. I did have a few favorite sushi such as the garlic ponzu salmon, the scallop and negitoro. It's a fun experience when you come with a group and try different items.

I heard about this place from the hotel concierge and had to try. It was in a dense shopping city in 'JapanTown' and was nondescript on the outside. Once inside it was literally like walking into a restaurant in Tokyo! Cute little Anime all over the walls, and a robot server. The conveyor bring an unlimited supply of delicious sushi! The Bluefin Toro was out of this world! 5 stars!!

The word that comes to mind with Kura is 'consistent.' It's just a solid spot for a sushi-based meal whenever I'm craving it or when a friend's in town and wants to go for sushi. Is it the best sushi around? Probably not. Is it good and delicious and likely won't give you stomach issues?... I've eaten here at least a half dozen times and never had an issue. I love that you get to try many different rolls if you so choose in small portions, that it's affordable, and that the service is very quick. The conveyer belt format is a tad impersonal, but you're not coming to Kura for Omakase... You're coming for decent sushi made fresh that won't break the bank.

I came here on a whim. It was a Sunday afternoon and there was about a 5-10 min wait. I had never been to revolving sushi before and it was super cool and the staff lets you know how it all works as soon as you sit down. I like how you're able to try many rolls without the commitment of getting the entire roll, you just get about 2 pieces with each plate. A con is we sat at the end of the rotating sushi, so many times the plates were empty when they got to us. However we were able to place orders on the tablet so the sushi would come directly to us, but that takes away from the experience. Overall the sushi was pretty tasty. I would probably come again but would go to a different location as this one was so small.

This is a fun place, especially if you don't mind a little automation with your food. It's a sushi restaurant but with many sides and desserts and it's all served conveyor belt style. If you're not familiar, conveyor style sushi is made constantly by the chefs and placed on belt that goes into covered containers around the restaurant, passing all the tables. Customers just take what they want, whenever something looks good. So what if you want something special? There's a kiosk at the tables of you simply ask a server for freshly made anything. My kid really loved it, and while the sushi itself isn't the highest quality you can get, the novelty might make your experience more memorable. This Kura even had a robot serving drinks!

Good sushi for cheap plus a fun experience with family & friends. But it was a 30-45 min wait. No waiter really, it was just a robot bringing drinks and the table was sticky and dirty. The conveyer belt barely had sushi but you can order what you want on the screen. I've been here before and noticed the system is different to sign in so keep that in mind.

Amazing experience, especially for my first time, food was absolutely delicious! Definitely can't wait to go back.

Previous five stars (strictly for entertainment and service) was short lived. It took me three additional visits to write this update. Last visit was my little one's fourth birthday and I was super disappointed with their hot foods- expensive and not good at all. On the latest visit, the robot broke down and the entertainment element is mostly diminished for the kids. The server checked up on us just once the entire time. We pushed the call button twice and he never came. Thank goodness Kura's technology at least allowed self check out. Here is the latest score: Food- 1.5 star; the sushi was not fresh and wifie's stomach was in pain afterwards; half additional star because the fried shrimps were enjoyed by my son which was like $20 for four shrimps BTW Service- 2 stars; previous two visits were 3-4 stars the latest visit was 1 star Entertainment- 2.5 stars; the sushi train is still a treat for the kids but the robot not working is a huge bummer Affordability- 2 stars; $110 check for two adults and two kids and we were not feeling well afterwards We will probably not be coming back.

This place is located in a plaza and if you aren't already in Sawtelle walking around, your best bet is to park in the underground parking that's located in the center of the plaza. There's a little iPad right at the front door where you can sign in to put your name and phone number down. I've been to this location a couple times since I live in the neighborhood. It's not super huge. The experience is kind of cool if you've never been to something like this. You can pull dishes from a conveyor belt or you can order from an iPad located above each table. They play pretty fun music overall. The food is just average in my opinion.

This is one of my go-to places for sushi if I feel like getting different rolls and nigiri. The selection is always vast and pulling the dishes off the line is fun! It can be a bit of a wait, so make sure to get your name on the list. The service is very fast -- whether it's by the staff or the robot who serves the drinks! They also serve some hot foods, but I mostly just grab the sushi off the conveyor belt. As for the ambiance, the cleanliness has gone a bit downhill.

Located in between Daiso and Nigiya. Free parking during daytime. All revolving plates are $3.75 unless you special order items. You can go through your whole meal with no interaction with the staff. You sit down, order everything on the screen at your table, a robot brings you your drinks, you can take any plate that you want that comes through the revolving belt, you can also special order and the items revolve directly to your table. After you are done with the plates, you slide them into the plate counter at your table and that is how you are charged. You can pay at your table using the app or screen. The food is not that great but definitely fun, especially for kids.

Good cheap sushi, fun experience for families, date or friends. Went here with my boyfriend and it was a cute night out

There may be a significant wait in this tiny restaurant. You have two options for placing orders: on the revolving belt or on the tablet. When you're done eating, place the plates in the slot on the side since it counts by the plates. The robot will bring your drinks to your table once you place your order. To receive the points to use for rewards, make sure you download the Kura Sushi App. Overall, the food is not of the highest quality but is reasonably priced.

WHEN: Sat @9:15pm Kura Sushi is restaurant where you order from a kiosk at your table and it comes out on a conveyer belt. So fun! What nice is how simple everything is: each plate costs the same: $3.55. And since you just eat until you're full, it's quite cost efficient to me! Be aware it's super popular and expect an at least 1.5 hour wait! I suggest getting on the waitlist while you're full, which you can do through their app. They will text you to confirm your spot in line. Here's what I got: UNAGI - Roasted eel on Kura specialty sushi rice drizzled in a sweet soy sauce. So good. SALMON TORO - Salmon belly on Kura specialty sushi rice. Not bad! SEARED EEL w/MISO CREAM CHEESE - Flame seared eel on Kura specialty sushi rice drizzled in miso sauce and topped with cream cheese. Pretty good, nothing too different from the regular unagi. SEA URCHIN - Sea urchin nestled in a bed of Kura specialty sushi rice wrapped in dried seaweed. Since this was fancier it only comes with one piece instead of 2. I like it! SALMON YUKHOE - Salmon, boiled egg yolk, ginger, green onion and sesame toppings drizzled in a sweet Japanese BBQ sauce nestled in a bed of Kura specialty sushi rice wrapped in dried seaweed. I should have read it so I know it's HARD boiled egg yolk, not soft so it's not what I expected. It's just okay. NEGITORO - Minced tuna belly and green onion topping nestled in a bed of Kura specialty sushi rice wrapped in dried seaweed. Not sure why I got this but it's fine. HOT SAKE - $10 No complaints here! I was such a happy camper. Overall, I had such a wonderful time. There's a wonderful selection of foods that's not just limited to sushi: there's appetizers, ramen, udon, soups, desserts and others! I just ordered until I was full, and after tax and top including sake, I paid just $40, and to me it was quality stuff that filled my belly. I am for sure coming back!

Sooo good. Every piece of sushi was delicious. enjoyed the fatty tuna the most. Also loved how tech forward this place was. Everything felt very slick and automated.

There is a Kura Sushi in every big Asian area and kids love this place. When there isn't a 2 hour wait, it is a quick, easy meal. The kids love pulling stuff off the conveyor belt and it keeps them nice and distracted. I noticed they also tend to eat more because they have incentives for the number of plates you deposit into the slot. The toys/prizes ranges from anime magnets to cute little Kura keychains. The fish quality is not the best but it is not the worst, especially for about $3 a plate. Don't let the prices fool you because they can add up quick- especially if you order any of the hot stuff. I do recommend the crispy squid (grown up and kid approved) and I personally like the crispy salmon skin. It's a bit salty, but if you eat it with rice, it's pretty good. Our usual go to is the salmon sushi, a couple of the handrolls in soy paper, red snapper in Yuzu, Kura roll, Philadelphia roll, crispy squid and crispy salmon skin. I highly recommend getting the app because it lets you join the waitlist and you get $5 off coupons.

Came with a friend on Monday. There are limited parking spots (seemed free) on the ground and an underground parking lot with an hourly charge. Using the Kura app to get on the waiting list saved us time. It was about a 30-minute wait when I signed up around 5:30 pm. The servers were friendly. I usually go to the Kura in Torrance, and the fish quality was slightly down at this location compared to the one in Torrance. Overall, we liked the salmon toro, seared scallops, uni, and sweat shrimp the most. The portion of uni was very generous, and it was very satisfying when you took a big bite of it. The red snapper was a little bit dry. Squid was average. The fish roe was good, but the portion seemed slightly smaller than the other place. Sorry about me keep comparing. However, since it's kind of like a chain sushi place, it's hard not to compare. The food was prepared in a fast manner, though. The place was crowded but not loud. There's Nijiya Market and Daiso in the same plaza. Good places to hang around while waiting for your turn.

I really enjoy coming here for a quick lunch especially when there's no line! The staff is always friendly and polite. Food is generally fresh especially when you order it from the computer and have it made to order. The best deal is their garlic ponzu sashimi bowl, it's very filling. I'm not a fan of the cold beef rolls as I like beef to be warm. Overall I'm a long time satisfied customer and you can count on my review to be accurate!

I've been coming here for years, and it was cheap convenient sushi. I hadn't been in a while but noticed that it was a bit dirtier than normal when I came in this time / weird smell coming from the kitchen. Now I am down with food poisoning (which I haven't had in 5+ years) several hour after eating here. With the amount of raw fish I eat, it's astounding I haven't gotten sick. Until today. Avoid.

This place is a blast!! Ok the sushi quality isn't the best but what do you expect for $3.85 per item. There is an AMAZING robot that delivers the drinks :) I got my robot video for socials lol. I downloaded the App and now I have $5 off for next time :)

love it here!! get the app so you don't have to stand and wait. sushi is great for the price and it's always a fun experience. the drink robot is my favorite :)

I've been to Kura 3x already and all of these times, it's been very fun. However, there has almost always been a wait. This restaurant is tucked in one of the strip plazas on Sawtelle - shared with Beard Papas, Daiso, the Mitsuya market, and other restaurants. You can park in the lot, but after 1 hour of free parking, you will be charged $7/hour (cash), despite whether you have validation or not / so keep that in mind when you're eating, if that matters to you. I wouldn't say that the quality of the food here is super great, but it's not terrible. I give the restaurant 4 stars purely due to the ambience, presentation, plus it's not super expensive. It's a cute place to go whether it's just for a casual date or with people from work or just friends. Whenever I go, I think I just eat the Toro and Salmon. If I were to rate the food alone though, I would probably give 3 stars. Also, the takoyaki here is not the best, and idk how you can go wrong with that dish. While grabbing the plates off the rotating sushi plates are fun and interactive, I think I prefer to order the dishes directly from the tablet (each table has a tablet) and then the dish comes flying directly at you. Service isn't too bad. After your meal, you have plenty of dessert options to choose from (on Sawtelle, not the actual restaurant). It's always a nice little addition. All in all, I'll probably visit Kura again next year or so. It's a once a year type of thing.

I have been going to Kura for many years, so long that I remember when it was originally called Kula. Growing up in San Diego we had a few locations and since I've been in Los Angeles for six years, we go to Kura at least 2 to 3 times a year. As many other reviews have mentioned, it's not the best quality sushi that you can get. LA introduced sushi to America in the early 1950s so it's a serious sushi town and there are many Michelin-starred sushi restaurants, and other famous Japanese options. If you are looking for a foodie centered meal those will be your best bet. However, they will be much more expensive. Kura is also a bit pricey, but it is a fun experience and I just love having tapas style sushi options that allow me to try a lot of different things versus a few large items. We were able to put our names on the digital waitlist on our phones before even arriving so when we arrived, we only had to wait about five minutes. They have parking available in the underground, first hour is free. Every time we come we just basically try a bunch of different items. Usually take about half from the conveyor belt and order the other half. We got about 20 plates and our total was $95. So not the cheapest option but could definitely be way more expensive. I spend just under that when I go to Sugarfish and get less than a quarter of sushi compared to Kura. I also love the robot drink deliver. Anytime you order a drink the robot will bring it over to you which I will never get over, I just love it. Overall not the best sushi in town but definitely one of the more fun experiences that you can have when eating sushi. As mentioned, there are a lot other better quality places but they will more expensive. I would recommend that everyone should try it at least once. I have never had a bad experience at any of their locations.

My entire party got food poisoning after going on Sunday. I was hospitalized for severe illness. Do NOT eat here. If you were also affected please contact through the message feature.

Me and 3 buddies got food poisoning after eating here on Sunday evening. The tuna did not taste too great.

Went on a weeknight and got seated quite quickly, although we still had to check in on the tablet for some reason. Seems like everything here is mostly automated and you just order from the screen so not sure why at the end I needed to tip.. but there are workers definitely. Pretty straightforward concept, though a little learning to get the food from the belt. You gotta hold on and push the plate up. We were there for the special Nov limited items and only one stood out. Cold raw meat with rice is a little weird for me. The crab was amazing tho. Each plate is $3.65 so it can add up quickly if you're eating with your eyes! After 15 plates you get a prize and there was a theme this time so it was a magnet. Overall, great place to get some quick sushi but quality is meh. Would be great for kids or people who haven't been but not a place I would go often.

I love Kura sushi. It's my favorite sushi place. I go here at least once a week. Perfect gate spot love it so much.

I came here once to get dinner with my boyfriend. We were seated in the corner of the restaurant and got zero service the entire time. Nobody came to check in on us; the only "service" we got was a robot that brought us water 20 minutes after we requested it. The sushi was no better than grocery store sushi if not worse. We were only able to get our check and leave because a server came to our area to check in on another group that was dining next to us. Will not be coming back and would not recommend.

I've been back to Kura twice while on my visit to Los Angeles. This place is absolutely awesome! It was one of my party member's first time at a revolving sushi place and the staff made it easy to understand. The host Lily was very sweet and able to seat my party quickly. Our waiter Aiden was attentive even though it was quite packed both times I was in! Another kind server Mabby recommended me the plum shot which was SO yummy, definitely a must try if you're stopping by. All of the sushi was delicious and fresh. I just wish the edamame was warm! Other than that this place is wonderful and I highly recommend it!

All aboard the SUSHI train! This is my go-to spot for affordable sushi in Sawtelle, and you definitely can't go wrong with their affordable sushi conveyor plates, which you can personally select as it passes by. Each plate is competitively priced at $3.55, which is a lot cheaper than many other sushi places in West LA. Granted, the sushi quality isn't necessarily the best, but most pieces are fresh and well-prepared, and you definitely have access to a wide variety of different seafood options. My favorites are definitely the umami oil salmon, popcorn shrimp sushi, and sweet shrimp sashimi. They also offer a la carte dishes such as desserts, ramen, and udon (shrimp tempura is my favorite), which are perfect if you're craving a slightly larger portion. Overall, expect to wait about 1-2 hours during peak hours (so definitely get on the waitlist/arrive early), pay about $20-25 per person and walk out with a full stomach!

I probably eat here at least once a month. It's a good spot for a quick lunch (literally--if you're pressed for time you can start eating as soon as you sit down). They have an app for rewards, as well as a feature that puts you on the waitlist and check how long you'd have to wait to get seated. Now keep in mind that they charge by the plate, and their sushi is average as they produce en masse, but decent enough considering the novelty and convenience of picking up whatever you feel like eating as soon as you see it. You have choices of nigiri, rolls, gunkan, and hand rolls. Sometimes they have a few premium items like toro and uni, as well as some seasonal ones like snow crab leg. There's also some hot food items like ramen and tempura, and desserts like mochi ice cream and milk tarts. They also have little toy dispensers above each booth that gives you a tiny giveaway in a little ball every 15 plates. Convenient location in a plaza with underground parking (paid or free depending on how long you stay or if the attendant is there at all).

A little on the pricey side, but quick and tasty. Good place to take a child. It was interesting to see what the future looks like: their waiter is a robot.

It's Saturday night and if you're craving fresh and affordable sushi, Kura is your place! It's busy, but the line moves quickly My favorite Kura sushi is Conch followed by sweet shrimp, and the spicy taco! You can join the waitlist on-line to save you home waiting!! Once inside there's a busy Tokyo style vibe! Staff are cool and easy to get along with! Don't forget Kura specializes in AYCE Ginger!!

I ordered a bunch to go. This wasn't all. Fast service. Small building no standing room. I returned the next night.

Food was solid, serves the sushi the itch that one may have. Service was great as well, Isobel specifically, was really nice and helped us with a broken machine. Will be coming back! the record is 15 plates today

Food was great and it was a wonderful experience. We ate everything from the cooked fish to the fresh sushi--and got our drinks served by their Robot.

This is one of my new favorite places for a quick sushi fix in Sawtelle. I had never been to Kura, much less a revolving sushi restaurant in the states and was decently surprised on a most recent solo dining trip on a Thursday night. For a party of one, I was able to bypass the hour-long wait and was seated at the bar when I arrived. The quality of the fish here is very decent for the price point ($3.50 per plate of typically 2 pc of nigiri). The salmon belly and ootoro nigiri were some of my favorites. The ten jyu tempura rice box (~$8) was probably the best hot dish I had, which comprised of hot, crispy tempura shrimp and karaage over rice. You can also order anything off the menu on the tablet at your seat and have it sent to you directly via the conveyor belt, which was pretty cool and surprisingly quick. Not to spoil the surprise, but drinks are delivered by a robot! I honestly over-ordered and had no room for dessert but the selection looked pretty solid. Overall, you definitely get what you pay for here -- which is really decent sushi at a reasonable price point. The restaurant is very clean and the service is superb. This is a great spot if you're hungry and looking for a quick sushi lunch/dinner, since you can sit down and immediately start clearing plates. The underground parking is also very clutch and is free if you are eating at a restaurant in the plaza.

little small bento box but overall yummy, just pricey bc it's a vday special ig hehe, ordered takeout

Usually go to the Glendale location--never had a problem with that one actually seemed higher quality which was a nice surprise. I always go for nigiri and the fish here all seemed quite buttery and flavorful. It's really small so the wait was really long but there's a daiso and other shops to entertain you at least.

They do not deserve the one star. I ordered on Door Dash from the Sawtell location had Salmon Skin Hand Roll arrived messy and not rolled at all. Soft Shell Crab and Tempura Shrimps greasy. Crunchy roll 3 pcs terrible not crunch hardly any sushi all rice. Caterpillar Roll all rice and the sushi very tiny small pcs. All rice and hardly any sushi. Honestly not worth the money.

Was craving Kura for a long time and finally found time to get on the 2 hour waitlist. If you're planning to go to any Kura Revolving Sushi bar, would highly recommend getting the app and getting on the waitlist 1.2-2 hours before you want to eat or else the wait will be very long. I got a seat at the booth and ordered most of my sushi - especially since the meat ones are better hot and fresh. Still one of my favorite sushi spots to go to whether it's alone or with friends. They also have great desserts and a great selection of other Japanese classics like udon or rice bowls. The revolving sushi aspect is always super cool and the staff was friendly. A bit loud but overall really cozy place.

This location was definitely of lower quality than other Kuras I've been to.. We were greeted by the most welcoming and professional host, but we were seated at a dirty table despite it just being "cleaned" before our eyes just before. The food was good, same quality as other Kuras which was good, but the dirtiness of our table kinda ruined the whole experience :( We did end up getting a toy! It didn't fall out like it was supposed to, but we flagged down a server who gave us one -- I got a peanuts cloth wipe! Other than the cleanliness of the restaurant, the food was good, but mediocre considering the price of $3.60 each plate for two nigiris. It might be more worth to go to an AYCE sushi restaurant for $50ish each because it'll be more worth.. but Kura is definitely an experience you much try once!

I got what I expected. The sushi was not the most amazing I've ever had but it was good, it was fun, and we had a great (only a little bit stressful) time. The uni was pretty bitter, the toro was great, and the scallop was delicious. Saw the conch in another review but it was way too chewy for me. Overall reasonable priced and yummy, would come back!

A really fun place to dine out with friends but have both your patience and wallet ready. We made the mistake of coming during a rush, which is our fault since we weren't familiar with the area. On the ipad outside, it said we'll wait for around 30-45 minutes; it was closer to 80 minutes. We had the app and was able to see our wait time range but for the most part, it was off by 20-30 minutes. When it said we had 15 minutes left, we ended up actually waiting for 30 minutes more. When we went to ask the host, they said we would be the next ones seated with only 4 minutes of wait left; they let 3 other parties go ahead of us before we went to ask again, in which they went to seat us. This definitely was not the staff's fault, as they were very friendly to us. For $3.65 a plate, we might've had higher expectations than we should've. The portions on each plate looked really small for some reason and the quality was actually pretty low compared to other sushi places, in my opinion. However, my preferences and taste is different from others so experiences might vary. As first timers, we made the mistake of getting too many plates. It wasn't until the end when we realized this place most likely won't fill us, which is why we stopped ourselves from getting more plates, despite still being somewhat hungry. The cute little robots caught us off guard, but it was a fun surprise! It brought us our water. There wasn't really any customer service in my opinion, since we didn't have our water refilled and we didn't really interact with the any of the servers. Overall, this was a fun experience but for the wait and quality, we probably won't be coming back.

The staff is so kind and they have a cute robot that serves you your drinks. The experience is amazing and the food is great we have been going here since 2015 and it has always been amazing. 100% recommend. -PS the seasonal matcha sushi is the BEST
