The Experience
Kura Sushi only offers fresh, natural, and healthy meals. Its menu staples are sushi, ramen, udon, salads, dessert, and more.
At Kura, patrons can either choose anything from the revolving bar or order from the touchscreen and it will arrive right at your table through the conveyer belt.

The eatery is able to maintain its food fresh at all times due to the ventilated sushi lid and plate-tracking technology. And, to add to this spot’s list of futuristic features, there’s also a drink-delivering robot named Kur-B the KuraBot. In a quote to Patch, the restaurant said “once our waitstaff receives a notification about a party’s drink order, they place the beverages on Kur-B and program it to deliver to the corresponding table. With the added features to the tablets, guests can place their drink orders directly on the tablet and check out on their mobile phone.”
Toy prizes can also be won if enough plates are deposited into the side of your table. Prizes are received for every 15 sushi plates. Kura’s mascot, Muten-Maro, occasionally appears on the touchscreen to remind you of your goal.

An HG team member visited Kura’s Fort Lee location for her birthday earlier this year and she says, “If the Jersey City location is the same as the one in Fort Lee, reservations are highly recommended because, on a busy day, you might catch yourself waiting for a couple of hours due to its popularity. It’s definitely worth the wait!”
HG Pro Tip: Go with an empty stomach so you can try everything and choose the booth when you sit.
Other sushi spots in Jersey City include Honshu, Komegashi Too, Teppan Bar + Grill, DOMO DOMO, OZU, Ichiban, and more. Safe to say the sushi scene is slowly growing, one unique spot at a time.
