“Phenomenal omakase - Kentaro was a wonderful chef that was warm and friendly to explain about the dishes, their origins, and unique flavor. Generous portion sizes and rich flavors that kept going. Would recommend for any special occasion!”

“The lunch omakase is definitely great value. The food is high quality & delicious, service and ambiance is perfect. Highly recommended”

“I took my partner here to celebrate his birthday and it was very delicious! The space is small and intimate. You’ll most likely need a reservation to get seated. There were 2 chefs when we went, and the one we talked to was Ken. He was very friendly and kind. Everything about the experience felt intentional which I appreciated. We had the lunch omakase menu which was $68 per person. The interior was minimal and ambient. My favorites were as pictured: ocean trout, sashimi salad, toro, and the hojicha dessert at the end. We learned that they had just passed their first year in service since opening in September 2024! I would recommend coming here if you want to experience omakase without absolutely breaking your bank, although I’m sure the dinner omakase is also just as good if you’re willing to cash out for it. A plus for me is that the bathroom had a bidet with a heated seat lol. Congrats on Kuramoto’s 1st anniversary and here’s to more to come!”

“I recently dined at this small, intimate Japanese sushi spot and overall had a pleasant experience. The space is simple yet classy, with a clean, understated décor that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Service was attentive and professional throughout the meal. I understand the chef previously worked at Hamamori, which set certain expectations for me. The food presentation was beautiful — each piece was plated with care and elegance. The omakase was good and thoughtfully prepared, but it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression. The flavors leaned very plain and subtle, and I found myself wishing for a bit more depth, seasoning, or contrast to really elevate each course. That said, it’s still a solid and enjoyable sushi experience. I’ve been fortunate to travel and try many omakase spots around the world, so my standards may be on the higher side. While this one didn’t “wow” me, it’s good, clean, and simple — and worth checking out if you appreciate a more restrained, minimalist style of sushi”

“We came here after seeing some influencer hype and were immediately impressed. Walking in feels like being transported straight to a high-end sushi bar in Tokyo! The service and atmosphere are top-tier. ​However, the sushi itself was just okay. While the toppings/add-on flavors were good, the fish lacked that rich, "melt-in-your-mouth" quality and natural oiliness you expect from premium cuts like otoro or engawa. The crème brûlée at the end was a highlight, and the pricing is fair, but for the same cost, I find the fish quality in Little Tokyo to be more satisfying. It's a great spot for the "Japan experience," but if you're strictly chasing the best possible fish, you might be disappointed.”
