Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

One of my friends recommended this place, so we decided to try it out on a Saturday evening. There was a waitlist with about a 30-minute wait. I’d recommend putting your name down and staying nearby—don’t wander off, or you might miss your table when they call your number. The food is great for the price you pay. If you tend to eat a lot like I do, you might end up spending more, but at around $3.75 per plate, it’s still a great deal. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!

I rarely leave negative reviews for restaurants — the last time I did was a long time ago. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and we had dinner plans with friends at 8PM. Since we hadn’t eaten lunch that day, we were really hungry and decided to grab a quick bite beforehand. Around 6PM, we arrived at this restaurant. At the entrance, a bearded man told us that bar seating was available without a wait, but we’d have to wait for a regular table. My boyfriend said he preferred not to sit at the bar. The man said the wait would be around 15 minutes, but couldn’t guarantee it. We said okay, especially since we saw many empty tables inside. Twenty minutes later, we returned, but our table still wasn’t ready. The same bearded man was now very rude and told us not to wait at the entrance — that we would receive a text when it was ready. So we walked away again. Fifteen minutes later, we got a text and returned, but the same man said it was just a heads-up that our table would be ready soon, and told us to keep walking around but not go too far. At this point, I was already quite upset, but tried to let it go because my boyfriend still wanted to eat there. After another 15 minutes, we were finally seated — at the bar, and at the farthest end of it. We tried speaking to him, but he ignored us. Altogether, it was already 7:15PM. We didn’t want to argue anymore, just ate quickly and left. I understand that restaurants in Flushing can be busy and that waiting is normal. But it’s hard to understand why we had to wait so long when many tables were clearly empty, and on top of that, ended up being seated at the bar anyway. Other Kura locations in New Jersey are great — even in Japan, where they’re extremely busy, the staff at the front is always professional and polite. The brand is supposed to be about speed and automation. But the man at the front of this Flushing location — I’m not sure if he’s the manager or what — was such a terrible representative of the brand. He made the experience embarrassing and frustrating. I won’t be coming back again.

Ernesto from Ecuador is awesome! Great service led by him. Items are reasonably priced. Rice is yummy & chewy. Parking is downstairs and tangram parking. You can sit at the bar without a reservation. Best is eel. Sashimi is fresh too: 3 pieces per order. After you had 15 collected plates, you get a surprise box ball, which contains cute gifts. Least suggested tip starts from 10%. I guess it’s mainly self service. Gave 20% because of the great service. Download app for reward points. Unaware of any applicable discounts. 感覺非常新鮮！

This is my favorite location for revolving sushi. They welcome my daughter and I like family… Ambiance is always modern and feels like somewhere out of NY… Service from the staff and robots is always quick and friendly. My daughter loves the robots that bring drinks. Now the food I have to say is always fresh and appealing. I’ve tried some things once because it’s always struck my curiosity and then there’s my fan favorites that I can’t get enough of. The premium plates always offer up a great combination of different things. I love this place and recommend it always!

Less than 4 dollars a plate, so, try not get your expectations too high! Sushi was ok, but ice cream was a nightmare. Trust me, don’t waste your money on ice cream.

Probably the only place that is close to what Real Japanese Revolving sushi is in the area. Menu isn’t as big but what they offer is good. Also if you opt in for game you can get a prize every 15 plate!

The atmosphere is very nice. The service is very technological and easy to understand. If you dont like communicating with servers, this place makes it easy because of all its technological-belt driven service. The food is also very good and high quality for a reasonable price. If I lived New York, I would come back to Kura.

I went to Kura Sushi on a Thursday around May 29 - 6:30 PM with one other person — just the two of us. There were plenty of empty tables, but we were told we needed a reservation. I gave them my phone number and was handed a waitlist ticket. The text to return didn’t come until 20 minutes later, and by then, we had already gone to eat somewhere else. I wouldn’t have minded waiting if the place was actually busy, but as you can see from the photo I took, there were clearly lots of open tables. The waitlist ticket they gave me is proof that I was asked to wait until they texted me, despite the restaurant being mostly empty. What really bothered me was the attitude from the staff — instead of being polite or helpful, they acted like I was a problem just for asking. It’s disappointing to be treated that way, especially when we were only two people and the restaurant wasn’t full. I won’t be coming back.
