    The venue is very nice and is perfect for a small gathering. The food is delicious, my only knock is that the lunchtime food menu/offering is a bit limited.

    My wife and I eat at Kuro infrequently - but it is always outstanding and we ask ourselves "why don't we eat here more often?" The Miso Soup is yummy. My Hibachi Filet was terrific, again. Her Hibachi Scallops were wonderful. Drinks were great and service was beyond great. Value for the experience was outstanding - $80 for two fantastic meals with excellent low cost drinks that were recommended by the staff. I don't think you can find a better mid range cost experience. This was a high end evening on a mid-range budget. See you there next Saturday!

    The food and service were excellent. Our group enjoyed being able to relax and talk without being rushed. We really enjoyed being able to chat without raising our voices to be heard. We are planning to meet again in January!
