First of all, what a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we had such a wonderful experience…read more We were greeted by JT, who was incredibly gracious and took the time to tell us a little about the restaurant. He even gave us some pho to taste, and it was INCREDIBLE! We had the fried rice, which was absolutely delicious. My partner was completely stuffed but HAD to finish it because it was just that good! I had the miso soup along with the Ichi and Shishi rolls, plus the Summer Hamachi, and WOW, WOW, WOW! Everything tasted unbelievably fresh. The Summer Hamachi especially was so fresh, delicate, and flavorful. You could truly taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. My taste buds were going crazy! And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we indulged in the most amazing ube dessert. The perfect ending to an incredible meal! Trena was our server, and she was attentive, warm, and extremely kind throughout our entire experience. Between the freshness and quality of the food and the wonderful service, we will absolutely be back!

I kind of knew that I would not be disappointed... I wasn't. We made reservations and were sat immediately upon arriving. The entire restaurant was clean and organized and very well maintained. We were greeted with a smile and welcomed in and brought to our table immediately. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Serve server, Lissete immediately greeted us and helped us walk through the drink menu. We both chose the 'shogun' drink, which but their version not fat. The drink was absolutely delicious and flavorful and reflected its a menu description perfectly. I don't want to say that the menu was overwhelming, but every description of every item was appealing. I will not go into detailed descriptions of our menu items as their descriptions were very well defined on the menu. Everything we ordered was both picture perfect and absolutely delicious. We ordered the following items: Pork Belly Skewers Gali Rib Skewers Duo Tartar GO Roll Hachi Roll Every item was absolutely delicious but, would I order it again? Probably not as these items were so awesome that I would have to try new items every time I go back or another visit. I will again say that our server Lissete, it's probably one of the best servers I have ever had before. She was personal, professional, assisted us with the menu, get back with us after every plate and overall treated us as if we were honored guests in her home. With her Service and the food and the ambience of the restaurant, Kuro Sushi a very easily earned my five stars! Great job by everyone!

Never again!!

It was such a romantic way to spend Valentine's Day with my love... but honestly, the food might have stolen the show.

Had no problem getting reservations a few dates before, had a great outdoor table that was definitely better than being inside. Our server-Makayla, arrived immediately, helped us through their brunch menu and returned shortly with our drinks. I have to tell ya that their "limitless" Bloody Marys and Mimosas for only $25 is a great deal!! Of course we had to order their FAMOUS Banana Old Fashioned, a Bloody Mary and a Hugo Spritz. We ordered the following brunch entrees: -Truffle Mushroom Omelette -Signature Allswell Burger -Full Monty Sandwich -Chicken & Waffle Stack EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, HOT AND VERY TASTY! Job WELL DONE the Vicky and her ENTIRE team! This place is definitely my new go to place to eat. Can't wait to see their new restaurant concept that's going into the old McGrath's location on Main Street in LWR. If they do as good of a job there as they do in Waterside, I'll definitely have another place to add to my 'regular' places to go!

It feels luxurious yet totally relaxed--perfect whether you're in the mood for a casual drink or a full dinner. The bartenders were not only fun and welcoming, but also clearly passionate about what they do. They were eager to mix up creative drinks and make recommendations, which added a lot to the experience. I came in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety on the menu. Whether you're craving a sandwich or a filet, there's something for everyone. The food was delicious, and the prices were incredibly fair--especially for the level of service and atmosphere. Same goes for the drinks and wine list--great options, all reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

We had gone to a nearby park, walked around the lake, and ended up here on a Thursday around 12:15pm. It was pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. The kids wanted to sit inside since they were hot from being outside, though I would've preferred the covered patio--it looked really inviting. Service was very good. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and especially patient with the kids, which stood out in a good way. He took their orders directly and handled everything with a lot of care and politeness. The only real hiccup was with the kids' pizza. I asked if it was shareable or more personal-sized and was told it was small, but we ended up with two full-sized pizzas. Not a big deal at home, but while traveling it was a bit much to deal with leftovers. That said, the food was excellent. The bread was some of the best I've had--fresh, warm, and really memorable--and the olive oil and balsamic were just as good. I had the spaghetti with burrata, which was outstanding and a very generous portion. I ended up taking enough home for lunch the next day. The kids loved their pizza, and overall everything felt authentic and well done. I'd definitely recommend it and would go back.
