Excellent food, unique flavors, very fresh!!!Beautiful space and excellent service!
Highly recommend this hidden gem!
We had a wonderful Father’s Day dinner here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The waitstaff and the friendly girls at the door who seated us were all fantastic—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

The portions were generous and the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. As a nice touch,...read full review
Very good! We had tsukemono (Japanese pickles)which is often disappointing... this was perfect. Generous and tasty. Agadashi tofu also very good. Would have liked some more exotic fish in the chirashi but it was all very high quality and delicious... And the sushi rice was perfect. We ordered one more roll... a negi hama. Also well done!

Kuro Nami Japanese Kitchen is a cozy and inviting restaurant known for its fresh, thoughtfully designed sushi and flavorful dishes. The atmosphere is warm and modern, with beautiful plating and a calming vibe that makes guests want to stay longer. Despite its small size and quick fills, reservations are recommended to secure a spot. The staff is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making each visit special. The menu features a variety of options, including sashimi, nigiri, specialty rolls like the super nova roll and ocean roll, and ramen. Many reviews highlight the freshness of the fish, which melts in the mouth, and the unique, well-crafted rolls. The restaurant also offers cocktails that are worth trying. A standout recommendation from visitors is the fresh wasabi, which makes a big difference compared to the fake stuff. While most dishes receive praise, the Kano Miso was noted as disappointing due to its small portion and the way it overheats easily. Overall, Kuro Nami is considered one of the best sushi spots in Marin, delivering great flavor, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience. It is highly recommended for those seeking quality sushi in a cozy, personal setting.
