Second visit was a lot less positive than the first. Waitress seems absorbed by whatever she's doing by the front door, sat with an empty tea much of the meal--in a restaurant with 3 occupied tables (no, she wasn't dealing with a rush of delivery orders...). Sushi didn't stand out as much this time (cut roll pictured from first visit was great), wasn't offered ginger/wasabi though I could've asked. Seemed overpriced for what I got (soup/salad, sashimi and a hand roll), both times honestly. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

There is no shortage of sushi selection in town. The sushi here leaves a lot to be desired. The rolls are small for the price and given the small portion of fish inside the rolls, it is hard to tell the freshness and flavor of the ingredients. Amongst all the rolls ordered, the only one that I would recommend would be K3 on the menu (Garlic Salmon Roll). The seats were not clean and the tables still feel sticky from the previous guests. The one time use chopsticks were low quality with some tips were discolored already. For a similar price, there are much better alternatives.

I don't understand why people ask others, "Do you like sushi?" when trying to figure out a mutual meal. Of course, I love sushi! You love sushi! Your mom's best friend's uncle loves sushi! EVERYONE LOVES SUSHI! If someone exists who doesn't like sushi, whenever- wherever, then cut ties with them ASAP because they can NOT be trusted! Even though I had already eaten dinner; there was no way I could turn down a friend who remarked that he was starving and wanted sushi. This fella claimed he "knew a place" that would satisfy all sushi lovers and so off we went to Kuru Kuru Sushi. Like most sushi spots nowadays; Kuru Kuru is housed in a strip plaza/shopping center near the corner of Verdugo/Hollywood Way neighboring a Popeyes, CVS, Subway, and a Smart and Final to name a few of the plaza businesses. Kuru Kuru looks small from the exterior view... and it is also small or perhaps "quaint" from the inside. The place is not blessed in the square footage department. The first thing that hit me was the scent that brushed my nostrils. No, it wasn't delectable and appetizing. It was an AWFUL smell that was like a mixture of an old building, dirt, foul food, and overdoses of cleaning chemicals. It was so bad that I was done right then and there and wanted to high tail it out of there but my dining partner insisted on staying. Slightly less disappointing but still a let down was the absence of a welcome at Kuru Kuru. You know how chefs at the counter of sushi restaurants always welcome all patrons? Kuru Kuru was quiet as a field mouse. Okay, then. Great to be here. We sat at the counter and decided to order an app of Shisito Peppers ($7.95) to nibble on while waiting for the choices made by my dining partner of the K3 Special Roll (garlic salmon, spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, shrimp tempura, salmon, and garlic chips on soy paper - $12.95) and the K4 Special Roll (Garlic chili. Spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, fresh albacore, ponzu, garlic chili oil - $13.95). The peppers were quite delicious and addicting for simply being blistered and seasoned peppers. I could eat these all day. Sadly, the peppers were the highlight and the rolls were a distance last place. They say if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. So I will start with a polite note. The chefs at Kuru Kuru busted out the rolls quickly and the presentation was quite elegant. Plus, the pieces were large and chunky like those chonky pet memes. That's all fine and dandy but then we get to the taste... Well, I won't say Kuru Kuru is bad because it certainly wasn't like the odor in the establishment but it was simply bland. There was really no flavor at all. You might as well have a head cold with a stuffy nose because you won't taste a thing. Kuru Kuru is basically gas station sushi or the Taco Bell of sushi (meaning, it is only good when desperate late at night or drunk). Maybe I'm just a sushi snob but this was simply not worth the cost at all. Presentation and speed was all the rolls had going for them. What more can I say? I simply don't recommend Kuru Kuru at all unless you are into places that smell HORRIBLE, are uninviting, and sushi that is blander than a piece of paper. The Shisito Peppers hit the spot, at least. There are WAY better sushi spots in the immediate mileage area. Skip Kuru Kuru!
