    Cute little date spot. Service was good. Prices are better than the other sushi restaurants around. Fish was fresh but wasn't anything too special. Tempura was a bit greasy. Chirashi was beautiful.. lots of fish but it was also $45. Lots of basic fish.. it came with a amaebi fried head which I love but ... no amaebi in the bowl. One thing that was off was that in the menu, it listed ingredients of each roll. The rolls all had snow crab in them (nothing about imitation crab). But when the roll came out it definitely looked like IMITATION CRAB.. I asked the server and he said yes it's mixed with snow crab. I would not have ordered the roll if I had known that.. :( Well overall.. I'd give this place a 3.5/5. We will be back for the al a cart nigiri selection AND the nice cold draft beer!

    Kuro Sushi is in a strip mall next to a CVS in the Eastgate area of Bellevue. A simple location means the diners get a bigger bang for their buck. The online food photos certainly showed promise, so naturally, we went. The restaurant is roomy and well-maintained. While they have some insta/tik-tok gimmicky options (served with fire), the nigiri photos caught my attention. It is all about the fish quality. The kitchen items were perfectly cooked. One roll was falling apart, which I gave them feedback. They graciously offered a dessert or 5% off as compensation, which we declined. We appreciate gesture nonetheless. We were the last customers walking in on a Sunday night. The food arrived quickly. Service was swift, and they answered my questions well. The Food: Bluefin Sampler, $22 - 5 Stars O-Toro, Chu-Toro, Akami, and chopped tuna are the four pieces in this sampler. The fish pieces are generously sized, and they taste sooooo good with the oils. Love, love, love these, including the cost. Hubby eyed mine with jealousy and placed an additional order for himself. Lol. Salmon Sampler, $16 - 4.5 Stars These were good too with quality pieces of fish. Hubby is not a fan of ikura nigiri, so side-eyed it a bit. Not their fault. I graciously ate it for him. Hahaha. Orange Blossom roll, modified as seared salmon on top, $20 - 3.5 Stars I requested recommendation for "maximum fish" roll, and he suggested the Orange Blossom or Cherry Blossom. I am familiar with both and opted for orange/salmon to contrast my Bluefin Sampler. Changing it to seared salmon top gets the bite more texture. Alas, this is the roll where every piece fell apart. In terms of flavor and fish quality, it is still a good roll. Love Salmon roll, $18 - 3 Stars Hubby read "Love Salmon" and ordered it. But he learned he doesn't like salmon skin when it is not crispy or a roll with a bunch of veggies inside. Admittedly, the menu font size is small and need a magnifying glass to read "salmon skin, kaiware, yamagobo, green onion" inside. He didn't like his roll. Fried Oysters, Japanese style, $8 - 5 Stars These are basically katsu-oysters. They have an excellent crisp and extremely hot for first bite. Yum! Hamachi kama, $16 - 4.5 Stars These visually looked a bit dry, but they were instead perfectly grilled.

    Solid sushi spot in Eastgate, with a lot to offer and a great happy hour. We had a nice time here for an early dinner/happy hour. Kuro Sushi is a win for the Eastgate neighborhood in Bellevue. We visited Kuro Sushi on a Friday for happy hour as they only offer happy hour on the weekdays until 6pm. Located in a business strip in Eastgate, parking is plenty, but does get busy with customers from Safeway and other businesses nearby. We came right when happy hour started, but by the time we left, the entire place was filled and a lot of customers visited for takeout orders. My partner and I shared a bunch of items: chirashi bowl, Alaska roll, Aquarium roll, calamari, and the toro tekka don. Of all the items, I liked the the toro tekka don the most as the tuna cuts were thick and fresh over sushi rice. I also liked that it was an assortment of tuna, from lean to semi-fatty tuna. Noms! Most people in the restaurant ordered the chirashi bowl from the happy hour menu, but my partner and I agree that we've had better at Musashi's for cheaper. I'd skip the chirashi bowl and recommend getting the toro tekka don instead. I liked that we were also able to get the Alaska roll with seared salmon on top instead of raw salmon, adding some oomph. Calamari was solid, and I liked that it had larger pieces than most restaurants that offer fried calamari. Overall, this is a solid spot for sushi and seafood, especially if you're in the Eastgate neighborhood. If you're able to make it, the happy hour menu offers a lot, including discounted booze. I'm glad we were able to try it while in the area.

    Tempura
    Shuba S.

    What went well, you ask? I say everything. Excellent service, delicious food, great portions-- Kuro Sushi checks all the boxes. We ordered the tempura vegetables -- we customized the order to eliminate the shrimp since we were vegetarians. The tempura was delicate, and the vegetables were fried to perfection. The gave us onions, eggplant, squash, sweet potato, and asparagus. We ordered the tofu California roll and a vegetarian sushi off their Valentine's Day menu. This one had a black rice in it, which was delicious and earthy. The grand finale was the Yuzu sorbet and the black sesame icecream. Just wow. The only complaint is they got our drinks halfway through the meal. Apparently some miscommunication. The hot sake was excellent.

    Chicken karaage
    Wisnu R.

    First time trying this restaurant. This is a really nice sushi restaurant. It feels like an upscale sushi restaurant; the decors and the vibe is just giving out that kind of feeling. The staff were really nice and friendly. The foods were good; not mind blowing good but it was good. What we got: Chicken karaage (4/5) Your typical chicken karaage. Salmon shio yaki (4/5) My friend got the salmon shio yaki and she said it was delicous. She was craving a salmon teriyaki and she said it hit the spot. Chirashi Bowl (4/5) (not pictured) Wife got this bowl and she said it was good. Its a big portion bowl. Kuro roll (4/5) Its a good roll. Its a cooked roll except for the tobiko which wasnt overly fishy. I was able to enjoy it even with the tobiko. (Not a fan of eating any raw sushi/fish eggs) Lobster roll on fire (5/5) This was our favorite. Really good roll that come to your table on fire. Orange blossom roll (4/5) (not pictured) Friend said it was alright. The salmon wasnt fishy and its a good size roll. Overall You should go and try it. Im not a sushi person so the review is based on what my friends and wife told me (they like sushi alot)

    We were so pleased to find this hidden gem in a shopping strip of a Safeway parking lot. A Friday night at 7:30pm, we waited about 10 minutes for a table of 4. Friendly service! They use a mixture of white & black rice. Aesthetically it is unique and I can't say for sure the taste is any different than all white rice but the sushi is delicious! The desserts were very good too. My fave was the espresso mochi ice cream served with a dollop of vanilla bean whipped cream.

    California Roll

    This restaurant has the best California roll I have ever had. They are beautiful and tasty!

    Salmon nigiri

    Came here around 5 pm on a Friday and it wasn't too crowded. The service was great and we ordered two sushi rolls. They had lots of sushi options and it is made with purple rice which is pretty cool. The sushi tasted fresh and the portions were large. The bathroom was also very clean and fancy and they had a Jo Malone scent which smelled magnificent.

    TL;DR: Kuro Sushi is the best option for high quality, authentic sushi on the Eastside. Don't let the black rice dissuade you; it isn't a gimmick and it is paired with the highest quality seafood including special imports from Japan. Ample cozy seating in a sophisticated dining room. We have been fans of Kuro since it opened. Usually Eastgate doesn't have good restaurants, but Kuro Sushi is amazing and would be worth the drive. Easy parking. Usually no wait unless you're here on Fri-Sun for dinner after 6. They use black/purple rice but it's not a gimmick. The quality of the seafood they use for the sashimi/nigiri rivals that of Takai, LTD, Shiro, or any other top tier sushi shop. They regularly have fresh fish flown in from Japan, and they end up on the rotating specials menu. Their omakase nigiri is amazing--huge slices of unique fish... not just the standard tuna and salmon. They also have a huge selection of izakaya food. Lots of good fried food like squid, chicken/pork katsu, and tempura. We love the hamachi kama which is grilled collar meat of the hamachi. The owner and his staff are top tier. The sushi chefs are top tier. The service is friendly and prompt even when they are busy. They have a pleasant seating area along the wall with bench seating with pillows which is super nice. The best part--amazing value. You're not paying $100+ for top tier omakase. Definitely try this place out and make it your go-to. They do takeout as well. Sushi amazingly travels well.

    Hamachi and tempura are excellent
    Ron M.

    Super fast and attentive service, amazing food, the best sake list on Eastside. We were super impressed with the 20 piece omakase especially since every piece was unique. The hamachi appetizer was legendary. Lots of unique things like yuzu soda and sorbet, fresh mochi, and more. Asians looking for a taste of home will enjoy it . It's Japanese food has a Korean twist so be prepared, but be opened minded and you'll enjoy it. Great cozy and modern atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    We've been coming here since last year or even the year before and surprised that I haven't left a review (shame on me!). Maybe because I want this "hidden gem" all to myself. Although, judging on how crowded they get and the long wait, this place is not so hidden. Small establishment with a few tables that can seat 2-4 people, and a sushi bar that can fit maybe 4 people max, this place is a local favorite. Staff are friendly and food is delicious. We tend to lean towards ordering Omakase, but have ordered tempura and other cooked items from the kitchen. We haven't come across any dish we didn't like so will let the pictures do the talking. As far as I know, they don't take reservations, so either come early or be prepared to wait.

We tried a bunch of appetizers. My favorite was the calamari. There isn't much batter but there is a sweetness from orange zest. The edamame and takoyaki were decent. The chicken kaarage was not particularly flavorful nor did it have much of a crispy skin. Also tried the Cos-no-politan mocktail which definitely had that grapefruit flavor. For mains, I got the bento and the Super Bad Boy roll off the happy hour menu. The bento box has good portions. The contents change day to day, but I got chicken teriyaki over rice, 3 pieces of a crab roll, 2 pieces of fish nigiri, seaweed salad with some small octopi. Everything in the box was decent except the teriyaki, which was a bit rubbery. As for the Super Bad Boy roll, it's one of their fried rolls, and the frying made the roll taste a bit dry. Should have ordered a non-fried roll. Overall, service was good, portions okay. Some items were good, some were not that great.

We walked in without a reservation and had about a 20-30 minute wait, which honestly wasn't too bad. There's a fairly large waiting area by the entrance. Getting to the restaurant was probably the most unexpected part--you actually have to drive through a car dealership to get there. I had no idea there was a restaurant tucked back there! Parking was surprisingly easy, though. The sushi was pretty average for the price point. The rolls weren't anything particularly memorable, but the fish itself tasted fresh and wasn't fishy. The tempura was good, and we also enjoyed the other dishes we ordered. Service was fine, but a little slow at times. They didn't really check in on us much, and it took a while for someone to come back around, but it wasn't a huge issue. The restaurant is right by the lake, so if you come on a nice day, you get a pretty nice view. Overall, I'd be happy to come back if friends wanted to go, but I'm not sure I'd specifically seek it out on my own. A solid option for reasonably priced sushi in Bellevue, just don't expect anything extraordinary.

Our party of 4 ordered 2 omakase's (nigiri choice), a nigiri set, a salmon moriawase, and seasonal tempura. I personally ordered the omakase and the experience was well worth it with the sushi quality being extremely high. There were ~7 to 8 courses served throughout the omakase experience including 3 courses involving nigiri and the remaining courses involving a blend of small bites (egg, fish cake, tempura, sashimi, miso soup, dessert egg, hojicha ice cream to name a few). What especially stood out to me was the outstanding service that was displayed throughout the course of the meal. Our server was notably attentive and even went as far as switching the presentation of my nigiri courses after noticing I was left-handed so that I could eat from left to right while normally advising guests to eat from right to left. Every time one of us went to the restroom, our tablecloths were folded by our server and placed back onto the table. Tableware was immediately cleared upon finishing a course and every course in the omakase set came with a detailed description of the food you were about to eat and where in the world it was coming from. In all, the great food makes me want to be back soon, but the high level of service for the night completely made the experience that much more memorable.
