This is an authentic kaitenzushi place, which is a lot of fun in Colorado! My Japanese family was thrilled to have a little taste of Japan. The sushi comes on a conveyor belt and you can order it if it doesn't get to you. Most of the sushi was pretty good, but it gets pricy quickly. My kids had fun with the gacha prizes when you deposit your plates, another Japanese experience. Service for drinks and such was slow, but they were very busy. Overall a lot of fun! read more

Unique experience that I had to try. Once. Otherwise I'll stick to AYCE sushi places. Why? Quality and Service Quality of sushi and rolls are poor to Ok. Paper-thin fish, lots of that traditional Japanese ingredient, cream cheese at $4/ea. Service is what it is: placing a variety items on a conveyor belt. The place was half-full, and lots of empty dishes passed by for the 45 minutes I was there. I ended up just grabbing whatever was available, little of which was worth anything like $4. If you've never had watermelon or peas, then this is your place!. read more

A chain that doesn't feel like a chain? This is the place! What an experience! I have been to two other locations and this is by far the best one. It's bright and airy on the inside with the oh so familiar revolving sushi dishes. They have this down to a science! Service was equally excellent and very attentive we thought we had our own wait staff! Sushi, cooked dishes and everything in between was delicious. Will need to return for another round soon! read more

Fun experience, quality sushi, good service. I really enjoy the novelty of the revolving sushi and its quality.

Came in a Sunday night with no wait. I wish they were a bit more thorough on cleaning the tables and seats. They were sticky. The fish was fresh, but a bit stingy on the salmon roe. The cuts on the nigiri were on the thinner side too. I used to go to the one in Cupertino, so glad to see they've expanded around the US. read more

This place was awesome. Beware of coming here on an empty stomach or you may be out $100 speaking from personal experience haha. Jokes aside, the sushi here was great and pretty fresh. The service was pretty mediocre but it was because we placed our orders on the iPad or picked it up ourselves on the rotating conveyer belt. The had this cute robot busser which was cool and they had a game you could play if you ate enough sushi. Would definitely eat here again if I was craving sushi in Boulder! read more

Overall a good experience. Seating was pretty quick even though we didn't have a reservation. When we did have interactions with the staff they were pleasant and professional. It is an authentic Japanese conveyor belt sushi place. It has the plate counter and the little toy if you reach a certain number of plates (15, 25 for two toys). It has a robot that serves water, chopsticks, , and other drinks. You can via mobile device and those items are delivered via a conveyor right to your table. The place was clean and had a Japanese modern feel to it. Great for hanging out or if you are on a date. We got a late start so the items on the conveyor was limited, so we ordered mostly through the iPad at the table or via the mobile app. We were hungry so we didn't get any pictures. The sushi was average but the spider roll was good, and the crispy rice items were delicious. I will give the food 4 stars but overall 5 stars as the experience is pretty authentic. read more

I came to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar for a late Saturday night dinner. Upon arriving, the place was packed. Despite this, the staff were quick to seat me. Everything is automated at this restaurant. For sushi, you simply take whatever you want off the conveyor belt. If you want a special order item, you can interact with the touchscreen to place an order. You can also order drinks via the touchscreen - they will be ferried out with a robot. Overall, Kura wins when it comes to novelty. However, the food here isn't that good. While the fish slices were average-sized, the rice was of horrible quality. Nearly every nigiri I picked up crumbled into multiple pieces. The rice was also poorly seasoned and tasted pretty much like plain rice. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Kura for good food. The only reason to come here is for the novelty of a revolving sushi bar. read more

It was a novelty and cute place, maybe for kids. The portions are small, fish slices are tiny and rice is a joke! Everything is order-able on like flatscreen, if you don't grab whatever comes out on conveyor belt, you'll end up ordering and it will come on the conveyor belt above. And, you deposit your plates into a hole into wall, other than sushi plates, a server will have to come pick it up. A robot comes to your table with drinks. I guess it is supposedly, more machinery styled waiters. I ordered vegetables tempura, you are expecting, like carrot stick from kids box, one actual green bean, a slice of something and that's about $9; fish sliced very thinly on rice that falls apart is what you'll be getting. And, udon needles for $9-11, you'd get a better deal with ramen noodles, plain kind, chicken flavored and you add some water. My 78 yo mother enjoyed it, I don't think she even eats sushi. I would not return, unless I had young children with mee. Thank goodness my daughter is 32 yo and we don't have any grandchildren. I will not be returning here, even if someone paid mee. It's waste of money, time and watching conveyor belt, if there was food, cake/dessert pieces are thin, small portioned, just like everything else in the place. read more

Very excited that Kura is finally here! We've visited other locations in different states and have always enjoyed the experience. The sushi is okay--not bad, but not the best. Some fish was really fresh and thickly cut, while others looked like they had been out for a while. There is a good variety of sushi, but an abundance of different types of salmon. Depending on the time of day, there are only two plates for each item, and most were taken by the time it reached our table. My favorite is the scallop dishes and I had to wait a few cycles for it to be available. If an item was available to order through the touchscreen, we did that instead of waiting to see if it would appear. It's $3.90 a plate for 2 pieces of sushi (1 piece if you get the toro, which is cheap!), but it adds up quickly when you're throwing down 25+ plates in one sitting. There's also some appetizers, sushi rolls, and dessert options. Sides and other menu items are pretty pricey for the portions; the $11 ramen was meh. The kids like it since they're able to interact and choose what they want to eat. They also eat more with the Bikkura game, receiving a surprise toy dispensed from a vending machine for every 5 plates that are consumed. Servers really aren't needed here with the conveyor belt system, the touch screen to order items, and the robots to bring your drinks. We enjoy the minimal interaction and the self-service concept. read more

First time at this new restaurant in Boulder and we will definitely be back! Make a reservation! We had to wait a bit even though we had one but all tables were reserved for the remainder of the evening. While we were waiting for our table we got to observe the robots as they delivered drinks. A couple of times they got stuck because they didn't have the space to go around each other. One spilled a drink. It was quite the show to watch! The place was hopping with activity from patrons eating, robots serving and playing music and servers checking people in and following up with patrons. Once we were seated, our server was super friendly and helpful as they explained how everything worked and then answered my questions. The sushi came by and we got what looked good and it was all delicious except the fried rice with fish on top. The fried rice cakes were cold and hard. I especially like the sweet shrimp with jalapeño and the scallops. Next time I want to try the seared scallops. But it was all delicious and we left with full bellies. I would love to be able to order wine and they do have sake. Just FYI. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

My entire family enjoyed our experience here. The non-sushi lovers had ramen and the sushi lovers had... almost everything else! We went at 5PM on a Saturday and got the last table available without a reservation before they started putting people on a wait. The conveyor belt was always full and we rarely had to wait too long for something we wanted. We also enjoyed the upper conveyor belt delivery of the ramen and the robot delivery of the drinks. We ended up with 1 prize (after 15 plates) and 23 plates in total (with only 2 of us really eating from the conveyor belt). I'm sure we'll be back when we're in the area. It was a lot of fun and good quality sushi. read more

YAY!!! Kura sushi is finally in Colorado!!! I've been to it several times in other states and I get the hype. Plates on the revolving conveyor belt? Fun! Seeing your food? Easy! And the digital screens to order? An introvert dream come true. lol Quality of food was exceptional. You honestly can't tell you're in a fast sushi shop. My items I loved: -cucumber salad -crispy rice with snow crab -Yazu tuna -Hokkaido scallop read more

My first few Kura experiences were over 10 years ago in Asia and a few years ago in Vegas. So happy to see them finally made its way to Boulder. Came here over last weekend for their soft opening and boy, it did not disappoint. A few tips before you trek to Boulder for the Kura experience. Download their app, and make a reservation in advance. Their official Grand Opening is this coming Friday, Aug 1st. It really made a huge difference. Our reservation was at 12:40PM, we were so excited and ended up showing up at 12:05... I let the employee know upfront and that we're willing to wait as we're too early... Our reservation number was still ahead of many of those who walked in the day of. We probably waited about 10 mins, if that, for our bar seating. When you get seated, order your drinks on the tablet so they'll bring your water/wasabi to you. Wasabi is not on the table like how it is in Asia but maybe they're trying to ensure customers don't waste it. The restaurant was super clean, the employees provided great service and even though they are busy... Overall I had a great time, food was really good! Usually for soft openings I'd give them more grace as they're trying to get their groove going, but Kura did an amazing job. Some customers were not as kind as they were probably hangry and didn't make a reservation... Oh for the Gashapon toy dispensing, not sure if it's always the same, but for the 1st one you'd need 15 plates, for the 2nd one for us was 10 plates.... This was different than back home but love that it was guaranteed after 15-10 plates of food. I hope they open up more branches in Denver soon. Thank you Kura team, you really rocked the soft opening in my opinion! read more

Took my son here for his birthday, it was a neat experience, we enjoyed being able to order on the screen and the lil robot server. The inside is pretty claustrophobic feeling. The food was just ok, like ayce quality, but for $4+ a plate it's probably good to just come for the experience but we probably won't come back. read more

I have been to two of these locations when I visited Japan and was excited to see one opening here in Colorado. We made a reservation for Tuesday night at 6:30 PM for four people and only had to wait about five or 10 minutes for our table upon arrival. Most of the experience was exactly as I remembered it, with the conveyor belt, moving all around the restaurant, giving every table access. There were constantly sushi and other plates being sent out, every plate has a standard price, so no matter if you pull off the conveyor belt or order using the QR code, you will pay the same flat rate per plate. I did find that ordering the same dishes from the QR code and having them arrive at the table was a fresher option, and the dishes were better than their counterpart coming from the conveyor belt I loved the Aburi salmon, the seared flavor, giving it depth, I was not as impressed by the Aburi tuna, I just don't think the fish had that superior quality that I was hoping for. The Wagyu beef dishes were also really good all in all I was satisfied with the experience. Each of us spent about $50 and we're so full when we were leaving. There wasn't really any specific service staff for each individual table, but if you ordered a drink from the QR code, someone would bring it to your table. In the end we tipped about 10% given the style of service. read more

A solid unique addition to Boulder casual dining. Have been going about every 2-3 weeks since their soft opening in late July and enjoying it. Nothing quite like this on front range after Sushi-Rama chain went kaputt. The quality of fish has been up to par for conveyor type sushi joints and the pricing is very reasonable, with loyalty discounts in the app. Location is convenient with easy parking for dinner and you practically start eating right after getting seated. The casual service staff could sharpen up a bit and we've noticed cleanliness around the tables and chairs is not always all the way thorough. I always reserve on the app and usually get seated in average 5 mins. Good eating & pig out sometimes, much like visits to this chain and similar ones in Asia! read more

It was OK. The Eel handroll was the highlight. You have to order it off the display menu though. Its the same price as the regular items. The conveyer belt sushi and robot delivery is a novelty at first but wears off quickly. Chucking your plates down the table-side chute is a little weird but its how it works. You have to order wasabi and water on the display menu also. Its a little cramped in the seating areas and a the atmosphere is a little bland. Good to try once but Sapporo in Erie is still my favorite. read more

Kura (くら) is the most modern sushi place I've ever been too. Me and my accounting coworkers decided to spend our lunch break here and wow was I in for a treat. When I first walked in I saw a little reboot scooting around serving seated customers. That was my first time seeing a robot in person like that ! At Kura you don't have to have a server to wait on you. Everything was on an electronic screen and my sushi came out very quick. The ambiance there was very clean and very modern. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Really wanted to love this location but unfortunately it missed the mark for me. Having visited several locations in CA, was so excited to see one opening in Colorado! Went on a Monday afternoon. The service was great, waters were refilled often! Where the mark was missed, this tempura was $8. It was so small. The conveyer was barely had anything on them. We had to order from the tablet (those items did come quick!) Lastly, it seemed like $3 something for a plate was for the very basic stuff. Other things were very pricey for what you got. read more

Colorado finally has a Kura!!!! I have missed Kura so much living in Colorado but no more! *Pro tip: download the app and absolutely make a reservation! It is a small location and wait times can easily exceed 2+ hours. There is plenty of parking. The staff is super friendly. The robots are funny to watch esp when they try not to run into each other when bringing your drinks out to you. The food was exactly like I remember it, delish bites. My favorites are the shrimp "taco" and golden crunch roll. This is a great spot for yummy bites with a fun concept. Enjoy! read more

Large selection of sushi, rolls, and a few desserts on the conveyor belt. All items on the belt are $3.90. Plus you can order other items using a tablet. A robot brings anything you order thru the tablet. Servers stay away unless you need help with something. I can't compare to other locations, but this place is small. So be prepared to wait a while for your table. read more

Food: They had lots of different types of rolls and salmon! I enjoyed about half of the rolls, with the crunchy roll being my favorite. The other ones had sauces that were very pungent and just threw me off a little bit. The wontons and dumplings were both crunchy and flavorful! The crispy rice was my favorite dish, I had to order one because every time the crispy rice came around on the revolver everyone took them already! The taiyaki was okay, the ice cream had crystals of ice so it tasted watered down. The filling in the taiyaki was red bean paste which is quite a subtle flavor, and wouldn't be my choice compared to the quite heavy fried dough. The dough was good, I just wish it was a different flavor, or they at least offered a few options. Service: Because all of the food comes on the revolver it's pretty much server less. We asked one person for water and he never came back with anything, so we had to ask another person. Everyone here was nice though. Atmosphere: Very fun and lively! You can see the kitchen which is always cool and you can see the food wrap around the restaurant. It's very busy, so I would recommend making a reservation through the app. Overall: I had a fun experience and would recommend it. They also have videos they play when you put in plates in intervals of 5. You get a free gift when you put in 15 and 25 plates! read more

Sushi is second rate. Go for the fun and experience, the food is meh. Table gets cluttered with paper, and inedibles and bussing is slow or non evident. Selection is wide and varied but portions are microscopic while prices are large. All in all fun but not satisfying food. One and done. read more

We had such an amazing time at Kura Revolving Sushi in Boulder! Having been to one of their locations in Japan, we were so excited to see they had one close by in Colorado, and it did not disappoint. The experience was fun, fresh, and perfect for a date night. The revolving sushi setup keeps things exciting, and every plate we tried was delicious with great ingredients. The service was top-notch--our host was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. If you're looking for something unique, interactive, and tasty, this is a fantastic option. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

The service was horrible. I understand that the whole point is using the conveyor belt but there was no sushi on the belt. Also it took over 30 mins to get the drinks we ordered. We also ordered ramen and udon and both were so salty even with adding more water it was horrible. I let the staff know at the end that these were salty and they didn't even say sorry or say anything in regard to those foods. I saw people taking other peoples leftover wasabi because the service was so slow. I was very disappointed because I've been to Kura in other states and this was such a bad representation of Kura. read more

Fun experience! They have a revolving sushi bar/belt that you can pull what you want from, or you can order alternate dishes or just sushi that you dont see on belt from the table screen that is delivered to your table via an automated belt. They also have a very cute robot that delivers drinks to your table. You are charged $4.05 per plate taken and used plates are deposited in your own table chute. Very helpful and friendly staff. My family found the experience quite fun. read more

The sushi is good, maybe not great, but the experience is novel and the belt provides instant gratification. Its a "fully" automated restaurant where a robot brings your drinks. If you don't see what you want pass by, you can order from the touch screen and have it sent on a train right to your set. The service is very light, you can ask questions if you can get one the few staffs attention. I'd go back for a quick sushi fix. The bill was reasonable considering how much you can spend at high end sushi establishments. Fun and fresh, its worth a visit. Get a reservation on their app to avoid long waits. read more

Honestly, it might not be the highest-end, 'premium' sushi, but for the price, it's much better than many other sushi restaurants in town. The quality is solid and consistent. It's the perfect spot when you want to satisfy a sushi craving without overspending. Great variety, fun atmosphere, and definitely the best value for your money in town. read more

I was waiting for the chain to come to Colorado for years! It is finally here, and I waited 2 months to visit. I love the fact that you can make a reservation for 1 person. Service was good. Food was good. They had a variety of neta. So why 3 stars? Sushi meshi is made into nigiri by a robot, but it was done so loosely that I could not pick up sushi without it breaking into pieces. Every one of them. I know this is not in Japan, but in Japan, and even in NY (not Kura Sushi), green tea is free. In Japan, there is a hot water spigot and powdered green tea at each table. But here it was almost $4!!!! I am not sure what it is, but green tea is not free in Colorado. It was a huge surprise coming from NY. Green tea is not more expensive to buy at a grocery store in NY than in Colorado. Oh another important thing. The menu display is high above the belt so you have to extend your arm up high, and it is so hard to read. I had to take a photo with my phone to read the menu. After all, we gave up reading it. Why don't you have it on the table just like at your restaurants in Japan? I am going back, and I hope things will be better. read more

It was worse than I could imagine. The fish was sliced razor thin. It was old and runny. The food was slow to come out even though it was pretty busy at 2 p.m. The butter cake was dry. It was worse than King Sooper's sushi. The Kura franchises in Tokyo couldn't possibly be this bad - they couldn't get away with it. The waiter was a nice, hard-working guy. He told me that sometimes the chefs cut the fish too thin. Ok, great. For you old-timers out there, I thought that Allen Funt would emerge from the kitchen and tell me that it was all a gag and that I was on Candid Camera. But, alas. Also, I don't expect top quality at cheap restaurants. I don't complain much. But this place wasn't worth anywhere near. 4.05 dollars per plate. I will go visit this place one more time in a month to see if has gotten any better. But if it's still very bad, I will just get a beer and leave. read more

This was my first time at Kura Sushi and while the concept is fun, the overall experience felt a little lackluster. From the moment we walked in till the moment we left, we never saw our server. We were greeted by the host that sat us, but we had no explanation of how things worked, which would have been helpful as first-timers. Even our drinks were delivered by a robot. The food itself was ok for a revolving sushi spot. The variety was decent, everything came out quickly, and the seared scallops were the standout, definitely a must try. Overall, the food makes it worth checking out at least once, but the lack of service took away from the experience. read more

Went to try them out on opening weekend. Place was busy, the staff were very attentive we made reservation so we didn't have to wait long for our table.

This was our first sushi experience in the US after our trip to Japan, so we were prepared to be let down. But we were not! It actually reminded me more of the sushi in Japan than any other restaurant in CO that we've been to. The robots were fun, the conveyor belt was cool, and my kid loved it. Our faves were the snow crab, the yellow tail, and the yuzu jalapeno tuna. It's not fancy, but it's affordable and we will be back in a heartbeat! read more
