They close at 8 pm.Online says 8.30.Looks like they don't want business after 8.

We visited with friends and ordered a wide assortment of dishes: rolls (Tommy roll, Lemon roll, cut roll) udon, poke, miso soup, and also tried several appetizers: crispy salmon skin, edamame, and spicy edamame, fried gyozu, and assorted fried vegetables.The food was surprisingly well done, it was clear that great care went into their menu and dishes. Everyone was very pleased, and feeling very glad we gave this place a chance -- we'll be back!

Cannot comment on service or ambiance since I got delivery, but the two rolls I got were solid! I tried the albacore delight and dynamite roll. I liked the chili sauce on the albacore delight in particular and would definitely get this roll again. Dynamite roll was a little too creamy/cheesy/rich for me (and I know it's a baked roll).

Amazing service. We got the Spider roll, Dragon roll, Blossom roll, and the UFO roll. We ate it so fast, it was amazing, and it didn't take to make. Since it's the grand opening the rolls are 50% off, so it is super worth it! The ambiance was simple but the outside looked great and clean. I would definitely come again!

I ordered take out and the young girl with glasses running the cashier tipped herself and tried to tell me it was the taxes. I asked for my receipt but couldn't have it. I asked for the manager and told me there was no manager then proceeded to say the manager wasn't there. She claims she called her manager and said to call after 6. I just called and apparently the manager was on a business call. I don't know what manager would be on business call that works at sushi restaurant. Sounds like too many lies. I asked to void the transaction and to recharge me and claims to not have access to do so. You should not work somewhere if you can't do your job right and are gonna try to rob people of their money. You tip for the service you provide not takeout. Crazy how some people think it's fine to tip themselves. Don't get scammed here

Ordered online with a "20 minute" wait time. Got there 15 minutes after ordering and got told it would be 15 more minutes. It looked busy so I understood. Ended up waiting 30 more minutes. At this point I'm 45 minutes in and asked the server for an update since it had been so long her response was "I know... we were just really busy right now". It seems like they are understaffed. I recommend to take your business elsewhere since they are so busy. The sushi was meh. There's better tasting sushi for a better price and better service elsewhere.

I was hungry after working on my house all day found this place on my phone. It was fantastic! The rolls were very fresh and generous. I am excited to go back. The staff were quick and friendly.

Great Sushi. I've been going to this place that's changed owners 3 times the past 5 years and Kuro by far is the best.

The spicy k ramen was just a basic maruchen ramen with a pan-fried egg, very disappointing. The rolls were small and looked nothing like their pictures. The service was good but the food is not great.

Craving sushi for a couple of days now and went out for dinner, been driving past this place for a while now since its close to home and decided to go for it. Place is nice open space, clean with a bar stool area. Customer service was great and friendly, wait time for the order to come out only took a few minutes. I ordered a miso soup while I waited for the sushi and the soup didn’t disappoint, I ordered 3 different rolls. Beach boy, spicy crispy, and fire fire, the presentation of the dishes are incredible and beautiful. Nice and clean and the flavors are mouthwatering, I left wanting to order more from the menu but will definitely leave it for another time. You should stop by they open by lunch time so go order yours now.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available

This is the first ever sushi place, and I love sushi, that I didn’t have to use soy sauce to help season the rolls. The rolls are perfectly sauced and excellent on their own without soy sauce or wasabi. As it’s supposed to be! I got the albacore delight, pink, blossom, and dragon rolls. Excellent. This is now my go to sushi/ Japanese place.
