“ Enjoyed coming here with my friends! We did not have a reservation and the wait time was short despite the restaurant having limited space. The food in my opinion is on the higher price range, but we all thought the sushis and rolls were tasty. Casual atmosphere. Good service. Easy parking in the shopping plaza. ”
“ Arrived Friday evening at 7 pm and was able to be seated at the bar right away (not too busy). There is a QR code for the menu but it wasn't loading so we went in blind with the menu (no pictures). Our server was nice and constantly checked in on us. The California roll was solid as far as they go. The wasabi was not fresh and had a cool florescent green color to it and wasn't that potent. The red dragon roll was also solid and the tuna was fresh. The bento mix bowl with tempura and chicken teriyaki was overall good. The pot stickers included were passable (not very flavorful, more fried flavor). The house salad was, well, the house salad (don't think I need say more). Tempura was light and crispy (needed more sauce though). The chicken was cooked perfectly (nice and crispy, not too juicy) and had just the right amount of teriyaki sauce. The Alaska roll was heavy as it was doused in a sweet mayo sauce (a little more than I prefer) but overall solid. Considering the small location, it was very clean and pleasant. It's a little bright inside (I normally prefer a darker ambiance for sushi restaurants). Pricing was acceptable however they don't have any specials like some of the larger sushi locations. Overall, I do recommend it for mid sushi experience. Not bad, not excellent ... acceptable. ”
“ Went here after the movies nearby and we were not disappointed. Food was fresh and delicious and would definitely recommend it to friends. Service was just right and pricing was not a shocker. ”
“ Came across kuru kuru randomly, it was delicious! It's very similar to Kabosu! Staff was very nice, pretty big and I haven't noticed long wait times. ”
“ I really enjoyed Kuru Kuru. It's a fairly small place so I'm sure when it's really busy there's a bit of a wait. The waiter was very nice. Greeted us as soon as we came in and since it wasn't busy we just picked our seats and sat at the bar. We ordered a few different rolls and a salad. I liked the dressing but there was too much, more dressing than salad. I really loved the California roll and the NBC roll. Also really liked the Screen Actors roll as well. I would go back and probably order the same thing and try something new. ”
“ Great little sushi joint in Burbank! My hubby and I decided to try a new eatery in Burbank and picked out this one. I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is small. But we were able to get a table right away. The staff was friendly. I appreciated hand sanitizer at the front door and on all the tables. They have a specials board and a small menu which included Bento boxes for dinner!!! This will bring me back got sure! So many Japan's places only serve these at lunch and I so appreciate a small variety of items for dinner! So thank you! I, obviously, ordered the chicken teriyaki and California roll bento. My hubby ordered albacore sushi roll and spicy tuna cut roll. Added garlic edamame and a large saki and we had a feast! So hubby wasn't too keen on the spicy tuna, but I actually enjoyed them. The garlic edamame wasn't very garlicky, but good. Chicken was flavorful. Cali rolls, perfect. Loved the gyozo! Miso was average, but extremely hot (temp)! Salad dressing could have been a little more, but again it all was so good! Plus a big scoop of rice! Man so much food and all for $45! Dang! Pretty sure the next time we go, my hubby and i can share the bento box and add a roll And be good! Plenty of parking (although currently the parking lot is under some construction). Park close to the CVS rather than Smart &Final. Thanks for the full belly! ”
