"our usual place"

by kkat825

Kura is deemed "our usual place" whenever our group wants to get together for dinner and cannot decide on a specific venue. We're usually a party of 6 or more (depending on who shows up to town) and Kura is most accomodating. The food is excellent as pieces are large in size and fresh. I'm a very finicky fish eater and never complained about eating here. The music is at a perfect volume and contributes to the ambience but not too loud since we're usually 'catching-up' with each other. And although the general review states a non-kid friendly environment, our group has brought our 4 children along (age ranges 3-9 ; granted they eat california rolls, eel rolls and the noodle dishes). It's not one of those trendy places but I recommend for sushi lovers.

• Pros: Fresh food, good attentive service, reasonably priced
• Cons: parking

one of my favorite sushi places in nyc!

by jonachan

If you just want good sushi this is a very good bet. My wife and I go here whenever we get a craving for sushi.

The other dishes are very nice too. I recommend the shitake and asparagus and the white tuna sashimi appetizer. The hamachi (yellow tail) is usually amazing....and I've also had great luck with spanish mackeral and red snapper. Unagi and ikura are always good. Best bet is to ask the waiter or waitress what is fresh and you will be very happy. The prices are reasonable and you rarely have to wait to be seated. Enjoy!
