Kuro Bistro

Just incredible. Our favorite sushi restaurant!! Fish is beyond fresh. Always perfectly cooked/prepared. Been coming here for years. My favorite is the Boston roll (I like simple) and their smoked salmon nigiri. My husband is obsessed with the grilled octopus kitchen starter (Polpo) and everything Eal. Come here!!!!!!

We took a drive East to reach Kuro Bistre and they didn't disappoint. My wife had the Woodland, artful roll of sauteed scallops, avocado, crab meat with four colors of row. A large roll she brought leftovers home. I chose the Chirashi fish was freshly prepared. Mid-meal I even commented on how expertly prepared my rice was. Both dishes were a sight, all great food should appeal to the eye and the stomach. I give Kuro 5 stars, definitely worth the drive.

5-Star Birthday Dinner at Kuro Bistro – A Must-Try Sushi Experience in Lake County! I recently celebrated my birthday dinner at Kuro Bistro, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, greeting us promptly and seating us at a clean, well-set table with quality glassware that set the tone for the evening. The star of the show was undoubtedly the **fish quality** – hands down the best I’ve had in Lake County. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We decided to splurge on the **sea urchin nigiri** at $14 per piece, and it was worth every penny. The richness and briny sweetness of the uni were unparalleled, making it a must-try for any sushi enthusiast. For appetizers, we had the **calamari**, and it was a standout. The batter was perfectly crisp and light, without being greasy – a rare find! As for the rolls, the **classic spicy tuna roll** and the **Alaskan roll** were both delicious, but the **signature rolls** truly stole the show. The **Crazy Salmon Signature Roll** was bursting with flavor, and the **seared salmon** was an absolute hit at our table. Each roll was beautifully presented and packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients. What impressed me most was the balance of creativity and tradition in their dishes. The flavors were bold yet refined, and every bite felt like a celebration. The ambiance, service, and food quality all came together to make my birthday dinner truly special. I can’t recommend Kuro Bistro enough – whether you’re a sushi lover or just looking for an exceptional dining experience, this place delivers. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food. Mediocre service although I should say our server was the issue as other waitresses had to help and they were very helpful.

We’d be meaning to try this place for some time. It was as good as we expected. Food was fantastic, drinks were a good size, and the staff most attentive. The place is quite lovely, with the most upscale decor we’ve ever seen in a Japanese restaurant. Can’t wait go back and try more of the selections.

A colleague from work recommended this place, so I went with my family. The atmosphere felt upscale, but it didn’t seem very hygienic. There was a noticeable smell in the restroom. The service wasn’t bad. The dumplings were clearly frozen, store-bought products. The sushi had a slightly fishy odor, and the rolls were too heavy. The hibachi shrimp didn’t really feel like hibachi, more like Chinese stir-fried or steamed shrimp. There was no real teppanyaki flavor. Overall, the prices felt overpriced for what we got.

Nice ambiance due to lighting and music. I Had 2 servers, one was a more hospitable than the other. The other server didn’t smile or have any emotion what so ever which was kind of awkward. But hey it is what it is. Golden shrimp appetizer was great. My kuro mule was also good. It had a strong fresh ginger taste, which I don’t mind because I like ginger. It was a pretty tall cocktail and got me tipsy. The spicy shrimp tempura roll was nothing special, kind of dry. Not what I was hoping for. My husband got the shrimp stir fry noodle… was a little disappointed with the little mini shrimp. Wasn’t expecting that and it kind of took us by surprise. But he kept commenting on how the veggies were yummy. Dessert was great loved the tiramisu!! Wow wow wow. Best part. Husband got the Japanese Cheesecake light and fluffy. Nice dessert presentation. Probably so much to try, but I don’t know if we will be back.

The place is great, food is fresh and delicious and the waitress Uno went above and beyond to please us. She made a big difference!!!
