    I ate here for a late lunch on a Monday afternoon. It is smallish, with only about 6 tables inside, and a few more on the sidewalk. The service was very prompt, not obtrusive. The decor was very simple, and clean. But the food.....oh the food!!! From the perfectly salted edamame to the sushi, it was not only great, it was perfect! For example, the roll that I ordered had avocado and shrimp on the outside. The shrimp and avocado were sliced so thinly that it was PERFECT. Separately ordered yellowtail and fresh sake were outstanding and fresh, even for a Monday (traditionally not a fish market day). I will definitely be going back next time I'm in town.

    I went here for Valentine's Day this year and I thought the place had a nice atmosphere. The prices are comparable to other great sushi restaurants. I am pretty picky about my sushi and since it's my favorite food I don't think the sushi was the best or the freshest, but the place did have great service. It might be worth checking out if you've never been there, but that one time was enough for me.

    My girlfriends asked me where I'd like to go for dinner for my bday. Well, I was craving sushi since I didn't have any while we had French guests who were here visiting. They aren't too adventurous. Anyway, I remember going to a sushi contest and I remembered that Kru was a top contender. So, I told my friends that we should check it out. When we some of got there, a couple of my friends were already there enjoying some edamame and drinks. The server came immediately to take our drink orders. And, one of my friends asked if we could have more edamame since there was only a little left. The waitress informed us with a snotty attitude that each table only gets 1 bowl of edamame. Well, she acquiesced and brought another bowl. Ok. That was good. She took our orders and 4 of 5 of us ordered maki sushi each to share. One of my friends ordered the teriyaki chicken with vegetable tempura. The food was served promptly. The rolls were beautiful to look at but it really lacked flavo... Read more

    My GF can attest to the fact that we like to spend more time in the city than in Sacramento. But you know, I got to give my girl Allison some love and come out her way once and a while. Well, on this one Friday evening I was happy to endure the two hour Amtrak ride to the capital because I got to enjoy one of the best meals of my life ... on this planet. We showed up at Kru on relatively busy Friday night without a reservation, but scored a great two-top right on the front window. This way we could check out the folks strolling down J street. We opened with some delicious drinks and miso soup. Followed by the scallops and foie gras. Now, can you think of something more rich than scallops toped with foie gras? Hmmmm ... maybe lobster and foie gras or kobe beef and foie gras. I wonder if Chef would take my request the next time I visit? The second course was the lobster tempura. Now, as you may have noticed from my other reviews, I have staples for each cuisine that I like to taste ... Read more

    Foods are very good. Fresh and better than most sushi restaurants I've been to. I love their sashimi just melts in your mouth. I didn't like their tea and I'm a big tea drinker when I go to sushi restaurants. Other than awesome place to eat.

    I love Kru so much that where I able, I would fly there once a week just to have lunch. Their spicy tuna is fresh and flavorful and perfect. The catepillar roll is fantastic as well. For non-sushi lovers the box lunch features an excellent chicken terriyaki and tempura blend. Your lunch is served with a very, very tasty miso soup, a salad that has an excellent light dressing and perfectly steamed rice. I did not care for the tea at all, but their dessert more than made up for it....a cheesecake roll, cut to look like sushi, topped with pistacio ice cream, chocolate and raspberry sauce and a cookie garnish. Amazing!!! For those who don't love a "fish" flavor, tell them to leave the shaved bonito off of your salad. If you go there once, you will never go to another sushi restaurant in Sac. Enjoy!!!

    The sushi here is incredibly fresh and the presentations are beautiful. Their breakthrough menu items will not disappoint.

    Some friends brought me here for lunch and I was very impressed with the presentation of the food. I'd rate my experience as slightly above average due to that and the freshness of the food. If you want good service, this is not the place to go.

    I went to Kru for the first time about a year ago. Their food is so imaginative and amazing that it is the only Sushi/Japanese restaurant I go to now. They have such a great variety on their menu and they have some super delicious cocktails too! Try the Butter Fish....It is to die for :)

    Not only did she compltely abandon us, she blamed the kitchen for everything...even the fact that it took forever to bring us hot sauce. Torward the end of the meal we asked for coffee which we never saw. Finally, we estimated what we owed and left it on the table. Food was good, but the service makes it so that I would never go back.

    Tapas are the best in flavor and the way they are presented. Billy is a master in the art of presentation ans wellas focusing on the flavor of his dishes. I also recommend Taka's off of Fair Oaks and Madison.

    You can't go wrong by sitting in this wonderful restaurant and having Sushi or Sashimi your way. If you have not tried it yet, you must have the Kobe Beef Sashimi. This is AWESOME!! It is to die for and my favorite item on the menu. As I have said before, you cannot go wrong by choosing to having your next meal here.
