Not sure where all the 5 star reviews are coming from, our experience was not great at all.

We had a reservation and we were seated promptly, but it took about 20 minutes for anyone to come take our drink order. Then it took just as long for drinks to arrive, and some took even longer.

We ordered appetizers, which came out at different times as well. Notice a pattern? When then ordered our rolls, which took a ridiculous amount of time to arrive.

The real issue was that while we were waiting for the rolls to come out, a server spilled a whole tray of water on someone in our party! We get it. things happen, but no one seemed concerned or sorry. They weren't even going to bring them any towels to try to dry them off. We never saw a manager and they did not offer to comp or do anything to rectify the situation. Just terrible management and service!

The sushi was not anything to write home about either- bland and small, I've had better sushi elsewhere. Avoid like the plague!

best sushi hands down....the all you can eat is MORE than worth it. I've left out of here feeling pregnant more than once!

The all you can eat deal is an experience to say the least! This was by far the best restaurant experience I have ever had in my life. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service was excellent. 10 out of 10 recommend (or I guess in the case 5 out of 5) 😂😊

Fantastic service with a great atmosphere. The all you can eat deal is incredible and I had so much fun. Parking can be difficult during busy times but absolutely worth the walk. Would recommend this place to anyone!

All you can eat deal is really good considering the menu options. Good drink selection as well. Highly recommend!

I have been here a couple of times and it’s pretty good, but there are a couple of issues that I’ll list below.

1. The servers don’t come by very often. You can sit there for the whole two hours and maybe they have come once an hour, thus you definitely do not get your value in the place. They may need more servers, since the couple times I’ve gone it has been busier and they seemed short staffed. That being said, this has happened when it wasn’t very busy as well, so I’m not sure what is going on.

2. As others have said in some reviews, they pack a lot of rice onto just about everything. Order an entire or a roll of sushi and expect it to be packed with rice, usually.

3. This happened only once, but I saw one of the people who make sushi use the restroom and not wash his hands. He was one of the guys behind the bar when you walk in. Just totally walked out after being done. I was hoping the he at least washed his hands in the sink in the back perhaps? Not sure, but he probably should be washing his hands after using the restroom.

Oh, and the bathrooms are always gross. Looks like they haven’t been cleaned ever perhaps. They need a very thorough cleaning.

I took one or so stars for each thing listed above. I’m hoping the guy making sushi using the bathroom and not washing his hands was an oddity and that doesn’t happened regularly.

For what it’s worth, the sushi has not gotten me sick and it was fairly good, even if packed with rice a lot of times. The biggest issues really are the servers not coming by much, it basically wastes your money, so hopefully this gets fixed.

I’ll probably come back, but I’m giving an honest review.

I went to KuJiRa for lunch today and at first I felt very welcomed, as the atmosphere felt warm and familiar. We ordered the All You Can Eat and the food itself was very good. However, the waitress didn’t clear plates that still had leftover rice, seemingly just to charge us for food waste at the end. We’ve been to many AYCE sushi restaurants that also have a waste charge, but we’ve never experienced a server being so particular about it or leaving several old plates on the table just to justify an extra charge.

On top of that, it seemed that the last sushi rolls we received were made noticeably larger than usual, much more than the ones on the pictures, almost as if the intention was to make it harder to finish them so they could charge for leftovers. Something to be aware of.

This restaurant offers a more variety of Japanese food than any other sushi restaurants around the area for AYCE.

This spot is located in a very high volume area. Parking garage is located right next door, which is very convenient. We arrived and enjoyed the all you can eat. We had plenty of food and everything was delicious. No complaints whatsoever. Definitely going back next time. I’m in Pittsburgh.

Ms. Cole

Alice L was the most disgusting waitress I have ever encountered. She was asking for a tip when her service was slow she was aggressive and ignored us when we called for help. She has a bad attitude and rude behavior please don’t eat here. I left a tip and by the time she got to the third person she went off with attitude. The rest of table did not have a chance to even pay and tip before she was rude. Never eating there again plain food.

Not a very good experience with the Male server,he was very rude to us but extremely nice to everyone else.He tried to tell us that our small child Had to get the all you can eat because we had it.When we told him that’s not true we’ve been here plenty of times he changed his tune Our child actually ordered something different.Meanwhile there was another child that came in and was eating WENDYS.They brought outside food in the restaurant and were allowed to eat it with 0 problems.Also the food was subpar,it used to be great we came 2 weekends ago and it was great but that same male server dropped off our food and wasn’t very nice then but we had a really nice young lady that day.Also it was busy at all and the service was still terrible.

I got the $29.99 all you can eat sushi on Thursday and a $5 beer. They charged me $43.32? And then both me & my friend got food poisoning so not quite sure what’s going on here.

Great place to take friends. Simple and easy to understand.

The food can sometimes take a while and you can feel forgotten.

Not super authentic. However it's a great deal and the sushi is good.
