Kuru Kuru Sushi

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.

Service: fairly fast. Hot items seem to take longer than anything prepared at the sushi bar. Server was enthusiastic from start to finish with a good memory and didn't need to write much down Ambiance: just ok. It's very intimate / cozy but gets the job done. No frills , casual sushi spotFood: all the rolls I had very average. I would recommend the blue crab hand roll, I could have eaten 5 of those and left everything else. California roll and nbc roll were ok. The salmon skin roll tasted burnt so I didn't eat it but still had to pay for half of it (didn't like that too much especially since it tasted burnt, not that I didn't like it).I would return for the hand roll.

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.

I'm sad to write this since I have had good experiences here before, but had such a bad experience here recently. I took my mom here for lunch to celebrate; it was her choice to go here and we were excited. We arrived around noon and walked in to sit inside. Since it was noon, the place was of course bustling with people, but it wasn't jam-packed, just a normal level of busy. The inside of the restaurant is small and there were still 3 empty tables. We waited at the check-in stand for 3 minutes before we were even greeted by the host and when we were, the host walked away and said he'd be back. We were happy to wait and decided to peruse the menu. We waited a few more minutes (still in the entry way) and the host was nowhere in sight. We had to ask one of the sushi chefs if the host was coming back and he got the host to come from the back.When the host came back, he sat us down and said he'd be back again soon. Well, that was the last we saw him. We were never brought water or menus. We waited 15 minutes at the table for.... nothing. We were only there for lunch and had to get back to work, so after 15 min, I went back to the sushi bar and asked if we could place our order soon. The sushi chef didn't know what to tell us. The host was MIA. We decided at that point to leave and grab lunch faster somewhere else. It was a waste of 25 minutes and literally nothing to show for it.The reason I write this is because this may have been an issue of under-staffing, but seemed more to be an issue of poor customer service. Every table that was seated had their orders of food and were not leaving immediately. There weren't piles of people waiting to be seated behind us, so even if they were short-staffed, that was not the pressing issue for a mild lunch rush. The host had just disregarded my mom and I, and clearly didn't care about having us as customers that day. The fact that we went 25 min without even being brought a menu was ridiculous!

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.

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.

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.

Ambiance is very basic. We have eaten at Kuru Kuru off and on for a few decades. We haven't been since the facelift a few years ago. The food, service and vibe used to be fresher and more energetic. Now, it's ok. Not bad, but definitely not great. Lowest tier sake, hard deep fried rice chunks for the spicy tuna appetizer, just felt kind of sad or perhaps apropros for a Saturday night in Burbank.

Strange place... nobody greets you or gives you menus. I got up and got menus, asked for water and went in the back to ask her to take our order because we only had an hour for lunch. Food was average nothing fabulous.

Great sushi - like, really great. They close at 2:30 tho so don't plan for too late of a lunch!
