" My visit to Kurama was a mixed bag. While the food was quite good, the service left something to be desired. We had to wait quite a while for our server to check on us after our drinks were served. The hibachi is entertaining, and the portions are very generous, but my experience was muddled by a lack of attention from the waiting staff. If you can overlook this, the food might just make it worth the trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Kurama for a family dinner and was impressed! The atmosphere had a lovely Japanese vibe that instantly set the mood for a fun night out. The hibachi chef was entertaining, performing tricks while cooking our food to perfection. Each dish was fresh and bursting with flavor, especially the shrimp which was cooked just right. The portion sizes were more than enough, allowing us to take some home for later. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always have a great time at Kurama! I brought my kids this time, and they loved the show the chefs put on! The food was cooked to perfection, and the portions were enough for us to take some home. The only drawback was the wait time, especially on a busy weekend. But it's worth the wait for the quality of food offered here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful lunch at Kurama last weekend. The sushi here is some of the best I've tasted outside of Japan! I tried the salmon skin roll, and it was delightful; the fish was fresh and had a rich flavor. The staff was attentive, and our server kept our drinks full. My only complaint is that the tables were a bit cramped. However, the food quality made up for it. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Kurama for a quiet lunch. The place felt welcoming, and the staff was cordial. I noticed, however, that the chef at our table was quite reserved, which felt odd as I've been used to more engagement at hibachi restaurants. Nonetheless, the food was fresh, and the portion sizes were suitable for the price. I enjoyed my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Kurama for the first time and loved it! The atmosphere had a nice Japanese charm, and the food was delicious. My favorite was the teriyaki chicken. The portion sizes are more than sufficient! The only critique would be that the service was a tad slow but overall enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated a friend's birthday at Kurama, and it was a blast! The chefs are lively, and the atmosphere is just right for celebration. The only hiccup was that the service was sometimes a bit slow to respond, but the food made up for it; it was delicious! I highly recommend the scallops—my favorite! " (*Curated Review*)
