From the moment I stepped inside to the decor and service to the taste and quality of food, I was impressed the entire night. Most bbq places are laid back and loud, but this place is refined, sophisticated, and everything you'd want for a date night or celebration. Starting off with service, everyone we spoke with was lovely and inviting. We felt welcomed and our server kept checking on us, but wasn't too invasive, so we were able to catch up. We were greeted with hand towels and 3 options for water. Cutlery and tableware were nicely set up and I'm obsessed with their plates! I was blown away by all of the dishes we ordered but my favorites were definitely the Uni Toast, Wagyu Volcano, and honestly all the meats we ordered to grill. They grill your meats for you, so it is a bit awkward because the person stands there until everything is done, but it's cooked to perfection! Highly recommend for a nice date night or celebration dinner.

We started with a wagyu toast and the meat just melted in your mouth. We also had alaska king crab with A5. Kind of a surf and turf nigiri. The uni toast was a little too much toast but it was a generous amount of uni. The Rubik's cube was a literal cube of meat. They cook it to perfection in front of you. Lots of sauces and sides to try. Everything was very good. It's amazing how different each cut of meat tastes. I loved the silky egg yolk in the volcano. They offer bottle service as well as drinks and their drinks were excellent. Would definitely go back!

There was some iffy planning on a Bellevue teriyaki restaurant's part when they locked my two…read morefoodie friends and me out of eating there an hour and a half before closing with no explanation, so we found this place instead. One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

They were celebrating their 8th anniversary with some Anniversary specials, so my husband and I ordered the premium Wagyu combo which came with an appetizer, sparkling wine (we opted for just regular drink) and bonus Yuzu sherbet dessert for our anniversary. I got the American Wagyu and husband got the A5 Japanese cut. Both soooo delicious, light and very good quality. The selections and portions were more than enough for us and our Dads. We also got the Happy Hour Sake Sampler set for $20 which was tasty as well. The server and workers there were so amazing. Friendly and came by our table numerous times to make sure we were ok. Took pictures for us and just great all around. This was my 2nd time at this location and I know I'll be back more times again. We loved that it wasn't as crowded as dinner hours. It's one of very few hot pot spots where you get your own pot so you can enjoy it the way you like it...Such a lovely spot, a hidden gem in Bellevue. MUST GO FOR SURE.

Something better can be done there I believe. Food wise, if you do not like acidic sauce for your shabby shabby or sukiyaki, don't go. There are 3 choices of soup base, spicy miso, daisi and sukiyaki. We tried the first 2. The daisi soup base is really plain water and a seaweed, not really daisi. Meat is ok. But the whole tasting experience is bland. Vegetable is fresh. Overall comment is I will go there again.

When I first stepped in the door, I was so glad I brought a light jacket with me even though it was 80 degrees outside. I'm not sure why, but the restaurant had the A/C turned up so high that even the people eating next to us had their puffer coats on. Even with my coat on though, I was still cold. The interior is small and modern. However, the tables and menus were extremely and unpleasantly sticky. The soy sauce bottle was also empty at our table. I ordered the HAPPY HOUR CHIRASHI BOWL ($22 which is half the size and price of the usual $44 Chirashi Bowl off their main menu). It came with two pieces of salmon, two pieces of albacore, two pieces of hamachi, and two pieces of some other tuna (or maybe it was mackerel) plus tamago (egg), and Ikura (salmon roe) on top of their signature purple rice. The presentation was nice, but the fish quality lacked. The albacore in particular was so chewy I had trouble biting through it and so I knew it wasn't fresh; I ate one piece but left the other in the bowl because I didn't want to chance it. Regardless, my stomach regretted it later in the evening and the next day... Service was fine, but we had to waive down the waiter both to order and get our check. When he asked if I wanted a box for my piece of albacore, I told him it was too chewy and he said sorry and walked away. Overall, I was unfortunately disappointed by my experience at Kuro. For a recommended place on Yelp, I expected a better environment and fresh fish. Overall: 2/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 2/5 for atmosphere

We were looking for a sushi spot in Bellevue that wasn't omakase or super expensive, and came…read moreacross this place with some pretty good reviews. 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.

We waited 20, but no biggie. The waitress was very sweet. The issue was EVERYTHING was a wait. Between being seated and even getting a glass of water, was about 10-15 minutes. I think if we came on a non holiday it would have been better. Hopefully. The food: We got chicken karaage, which was honestly sooo good. Like truly 5/5. Tonkotsu shoyu with added Green. 4.5/5. It was honestly the best broth and noodles I've had in a long time, the let down was the pork. It was so fatty and I think under cooked. Literally tasted like a Christmas ham. If they fixed that, easy 5/5. All star: 4/5. Not as good of a value. Great flavor but the shoyu is better. More veg. Also thought the pork was not good on this one. Shoyu: 5/5.

One of the nice touches they have are that some green onions are chopped and sprinkled on top of the extra noodles. That flavor is very important. Service was attentive and outstanding, per usual. It was Alan and another young Asian server. And always love the takeout presentation.
