Came for Mother's Day and we tried their Teishoku set meal. Miso Black Cod: so soft and delicate. It was delicious. Came with 5 pieces of sashimi, 3 pc tempura, salad, and other sides. It was so good. Nabeyaki Udon: also really good. Ask for tempura on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Takoyaki: really good as well. Ultimate Salmon Roll: this is a good staple roll.

We had the $100 omakase special and we're blown away at the quality, quantity, selection, and service. This is the best omakase I've found in the area and HIGHLY recommend. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

The sushi here was disappointing and not worth the price point. Omakase 10 piece was not fresh at all. Yellowtail was very fishy tasting. Salmon cut roll and OMG roll were basic, The miso soup was good. The restaurant itself is very nice on the inside and the service was really good. A one and done place for us.

Sometimes what you are searching for is right there in front of you. This plaza is near my home and I frequent the Starbucks, the Omomo Tea Shop, the Trader Joes. Gurume is a new restaurant, and from the pictures, I thought it was a sushi and sashimi place. We discovered one of the very best Japanese restaurants around. The decor was wonderful. Each seating area was private and not crowded. There are a lot of angles, wood, windows, art, and style. The portions are huge and the food is perfectly prepared. Look at my pictures. We ordered way too much food. The bento boxes are the largest I have ever seen. We are heading back soon. This place is five stars.

I tried this restaurant yesterday and really enjoyed my visit. The decor inside is very nice and open. The menu has a wide selection of sushi rolls, bento boxes, and other dishes. We ordered the Gurume Fresh Roll and Rainbow Roll. Both of the sushi rolls tasted extremely fresh and delicious. Each bento box comes with small dishes such as salad and fresh sashimi, which I liked. If you are looking for a Japanese restaurant with delicious sushi rolls and friendly service in a good ambiance, then I recommend coming here

I love this place. In a land of lots of great sushi, this place stands out. Their menu goes beyond the standard Japanese American fare and everything is delicious. In particular their omakase is the best. You've got to try this place.

First time trying Gurume Sushi and I think it's pretty good. The inside is decorated well and tables are spaced out perfectly. I ordered the iced green tea, the OMG roll, assorted tempura, jalapeno poppers and the lunch special sushi harmony (7 piece omakase and maki roll). Everything was served well and the slices of fresh fish across the sushi were HUGE in comparison to the rice underneath. This can be good or bad depending upon how you like your sushi as the ratio is a bit off. Prices are fair for most of their items but their lunch specials is really where it's worth it and I would definitely recommend ordering off it.

This place is really good. I had the hamachi kama meal set. It had a lot of different items including sashimi. It was quite generous in my opinion. I thought the price was reasonable for what you get and the quality of the food was very good. The place is clean and modern and the service is good.

We saw the ad in Facebook and wanted to try out the sushi at this place. The setting is nice and the sashimi is good. The price is little pricey.

Went there for lunch. The restaurant offers lunch specials. Took the Miso black cod. The quality of the fish was unbelievable. It came with a few side dishes. Everything was tasty. Service was amazing. The place itself is beautiful. Prices are on the high side but the quality is good so worth it. Next time I'll try the sushi.

I came here for the first time with a friend and the food was very delicious! It's pricey, but the quality is night and day compared to your standard AYCE places. I've also never had a good experience with uni at AYCE places - it has always tasted bitter, but decided to give the hand roll with tuna and caviar a try. Holy! It was incredible. I plan to come back here when my wife and I are in the area. 10/10

exceptionally tasty, high-quality food. Rolls have an interesting twist, a signature modification that makes them stand out - perfect for celebrating a special occasion. They also have great lunch deals (featured in photo) for about $25 and Omakase for about $100. The prices are on the higher end, but it is perfectly justified by the food quality and the ambiance.

Loved the interior decor and the water feature in front of the establishment. It was a bit hard to find parking, but eventually I found a spot. I really appreciated that the music was soothing and nothing annoyingly loud, too. It's hard to find places that are more calm and quiet these days. Service was also great and attentive, thank you for a great dining experience overall. I liked that the servers all checked up on us to ensure that we were attended to and didn't just ignore us. Pretty cool that they do that here. I fell in love with their Hokkaido Gurame roll, which has asparagus and real crab meat inside and features salmon and Hokkaido scallops on top with yuzu sauce. Just a party of flavors in your mouth! I like that their wasabi isn't just made of the powder kind either. This roll is reminiscent of a special nigiri creation from an authentic Japanese restaurant's Omakase that we've been to for my birthday recently, so it definitely is a huge favorite of mine. The chirashi don lunch special and premium chirashi don both come with miso soup as starters. The fish selection was superb and you can tell the quality and freshness in each bite. It is thoroughly enjoyable without soy sauce!
