Kuru Kuru Sushi

Val T a month ago

No frills, straightforward, casual Japanese restaurant. They have sushi sashimi, hand rolls, cut rolls, specialty rolls, bento boxes, udon, some appetizers. Food - really good, the fish tasted fresh. Crispy rice spicy tuna was made well. Rice was perfectly fried and crispy with a nice chew in the middle still. Spicy tuna was perfect amount of spicy for me, great texture. Shishito peppers were really good, love the bonito flakes shavings. Bento boxes were a nice set. Plenty of food. Tempura has a nice fry and good variety. The beef teriyaki would’ve been better if it were slightly thicker cut strips and less salty for the sauce. Service - really sweet and very kind. Food came out fast. Clean restaurant. Great prices! They have really nice disposable chopsticks too. Parking - free parking lot. Plenty of spaces. No issues finding parking.

My local go-to - a cute little casual place. I always get the vegetable tempura roll and love it, but I recently came here for the first time with family who actually eat fish and they really enjoyed their food too! The texture of the fried gyoza created a beautiful crunch. The staff here are sweet and do their best even though it can get busy!

There is no shortage of sushi selection in town. The sushi here leaves a lot to be desired. The rolls are small for the price and given the small portion of fish inside the rolls, it is hard to tell the freshness and flavor of the ingredients. Amongst all the rolls ordered, the only one that I would recommend would be K3 on the menu (Garlic Salmon Roll). The seats were not clean and the tables still feel sticky from the previous guests. The one time use chopsticks were low quality with some tips were discolored already. For a similar price, there are much better alternatives.

Great sushi and great people. There is a reason that Kuru Kuru was voted Burbank’s best sushi. While small and unassuming, this unfussy sushi place gets right to the point. Best seat is at the counter, and a little blackboard at the end gives the day’s fresh catch and chef recommendations. The sushi and sashimi preparations melt in your mouth, and the cut rolls are dimensionally pleasing and structurally sound - no weird jaw-unhinging needed or messy dropsies here! The “regulars” are frequent and many, and you can tell by the greetings and practiced orders that they share my appreciation. We’ve left happy and full every time - and always there is a new bite of delicious discovery enjoyed. The staff is friendly, professional and the fish is fresh.

I love Kuru Kuru. The sushi here is delicious. They have excellent house specials, too along with a huge selection to choose from. It was this restaurant that got me hooked on Hakutsuru's Junmai Ginjo Sake. The staff here is awesome, attentive and they always have great music playing, too. A great spot for an intimate dinner however we love sitting at the bar and speaking with the sushi chef, Johnny. Definitely our number 1 favorite spot for sushi!
