The hype is real!KURO Sushi is worth the hype. For me, it was worth driving 30 miles from Carlsbad all the way south to La Mesa (round trip 60 miles, I'm not kidding) to try their signature sushi dishes: 1) "black pink" and 2) "sashimi salad". I call myself as a sushi connoisseur who has been to Tokyo, LA, Singapore, Busan, and finally San Diego to explore freshest sushi options. There's no bad aftertaste, there's only fresh and clean taste from the first bite to a piece of sushi touching your tonsil on its way down to your hungry stomach. "Black Pink" sushi was hand crafted and rolled to its perfection! Right amount of rice (no less nor too much), cream cheese, spicy salmon, deep fried tempura and last but not least jalapeño on top! All these ingredients will create a great rush in your mouth as you chew on them but very smooth feeling in your stomach. $13.50 for this piece of culinary art is SO UNDERRATED! :( I would personally pay $23 or even $25. "Sashimi Salad" was like you biting into the whole blue clean ocean. Slice of cucumbers, red leaf lettuces, marinated seaweeds and square cut sashimi pieces were all perfectly seasoned with "chogochujang" (Korean chili paste + vinegar). If you're a carb-conscious eater, I'd highly recommend this ZERO CARB dish to you. Take my word for it. Your tastebud will be satisfied.

We stopped by to grab lunch. There weren't any customers, so we could sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant was spacious, with many seats and tables available. The staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the service was slow. They were also talking to someone regarding their business, so they were not attentive to us.I ordered a Salmon Skin Roll and Pork Katsu bento. The Salmon Skin Roll was good, and I appreciated that there were more fillings than rice. My only complaint is about the rolls' prices. They put an overpriced price for the rolls and say there was a 50% discount to make it seem cheap. I hope they were more transparent about the prices. Moreover, the pork katsu bento was dry. It was overcooked and tasted old. The portion size was generous, and the bento price was reasonable, too, since it was a lunch special.

The service was great; although a little bit on the slow side despite being one of two tables seated, you can tell the food was made with love. My party ordered a variety of items on the menu, and all were deemed delicious and plated artfully. I personally ordered the chirashi bowl, and was more than pleased with the fish and portions for the price.The portions are also generous for the price, if you factor in the ongoing (?) 50% discount on the rolls. I think it would be better for transparency's sake to get rid of that promotion and price the rolls with the discount already included. The lunch specials seem like good deals too, although we came for dinner so I can't speak to that.When parking in the dedicated lot, be sure to watch out for the big dip in the pavement when entering and exiting.I would come here again if I lived in the area regularly and would recommend it to those who aren't in a rush who want some good fish or even just Japanese food at a good price.

This place is great The quality is very good and the service is great. Sitting at the bar and being able to chat with Marcelo (a master at sushi ) was a great treat. To see him prepare those dishes and learn his story brings good feelings to you as a client. Congratulations and we will see you again soon

We decided to come by for lunch. We got the teriyaki chicken bento box & a roll of beach boy. The chicken was a bit dry but the sauce helped cover that. The pricing was great for the bento box as it was cheaper during lunch time. As for the beach boy roll, I would have liked it a bit more deep fried & a little more spicy as it said it had jalapeño pieces. Also theres a sign outside that says 50% off variety of rolls & tbh I don't think I'd pay the full price of $20.50 for the beach boy roll so I'm glad it was $10.25. The location is a good spot near college area & there was plenty of parking spots although the parking area is a bit small. As for ambiance it looked nice & clean inside. They did have the tv's which I thought was cool. As far as the service, our waiter Consuelo, she was friendly & attentive.

Have been driving by this place and finally had time to stop by for dinner! I wasn't expecting much, but it was surprisingly good. We ordered the fire fire roll, black pink roll, popcorn roll, and crunchy roll. They were all really good and came with a small salad. We also had the happy hour jalepeno poppers. Our little bro had the chicken katsu combo and he said that was good as well. We ended the night with some green tea tempura ice cream but it was just alright to me. I wasn't feeling the pound cake on the outside, the kids ate everything tho lol. We will definitely be back!

I was hungry for lunch after my acupuncture appointment down the street at EverThrive Health and saw this little gem and decided to give it a try. I received a warm welcome upon walking in and was seated immediately. HUGE bonus points for picture menus!!! Everything looked great and I finally settled on a Tiger roll. When it arrived it was picture perfect and tasted great! The sauce was tasty and I finished the entire thing. Service was prompt, server was kind and attentive. Establishment was very clean and inviting. I'm so excited I found a healthy sushi place just down the street from my new acupuncturist! Two great finds in 1 week! Woo hoo!
