We came here after seeing some influencer hype and were immediately impressed. Walking in feels like being transported straight to a high-end sushi bar in Tokyo! The service and atmosphere are top-tier.

​However, the sushi itself was just okay. While the toppings/add-on flavors were good, the fish lacked that rich, “melt-in-your-mouth” quality and natural oiliness you expect from premium cuts like otoro or engawa. The crème brûlée at the end was a highlight, and the pricing is fair, but for the same cost, I find the fish quality in Little Tokyo to be more satisfying. It’s a great spot for the “Japan experience,” but if you’re strictly chasing the best possible fish, you might be disappointed.

I took my partner here to celebrate his birthday and it was very delicious! The space is small and intimate. You’ll most likely need a reservation to get seated. There were 2 chefs when we went, and the one we talked to was Ken. He was very friendly and kind. Everything about the experience felt intentional which I appreciated. We had the lunch omakase menu which was $68 per person. The interior was minimal and ambient. My favorites were as pictured: ocean trout, sashimi salad, toro, and the hojicha dessert at the end. We learned that they had just passed their first year in service since opening in September 2024! I would recommend coming here if you want to experience omakase without absolutely breaking your bank, although I’m sure the dinner omakase is also just as good if you’re willing to cash out for it. A plus for me is that the bathroom had a bidet with a heated seat lol. Congrats on Kuramoto’s 1st anniversary and here’s to more to come!

This restaurant is Michelin-star quality —no doubt about it. The omakase showcases top-tier ingredients, rivaling what I typically fly to Japan for. Every bite of fish melts in your mouth, delivering an unforgettable culinary experience. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and were so impressed that we booked our next visit before finishing our meal, and we couldn’t stop talking about it for days. I discovered this place on Instagram with no expectations, but after the first piece of sushi, I was completely blown away. Highly recommend.

I have been excitedly anticipating the grand opening of Kuramoto Omakase! Our experience was delicious and entertaining.

Chef Taiki-san’s attention to detail is highlighted in each dish with fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. His creative presentation flowed from one course to the next.

My favorite dish of the evening was the wagyu with uni and caviar, which melted in my mouth with a rich and buttery note. The unagi with foie gras on toast was also very flavorful.

I recommend this place to all seasoned sushi lovers and anyone looking to explore authentic Japanese cuisine.

We had the shorter course omakase and it was amazing! We have tried omakase all over LA and also some in OC, and this is one of the top experiences. It would be nice for these chefs to explain how they came up with each course/flavor profile. I’m sure it gets repetitive so maybe have the sous chef or the host do it because it is always your guest’s special dinner. I think it’s the chef culture in Japan because I have never had anything explained to me, just the ingredients used.

Had a great meal and wonderful time @kuramotoomekase private and reservation only restaurant in Tustin, offering an exceptional dining experience that stands out for its authentic omekase Japanese cuisine like you are in Japan. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, a great spot for your next special intimate dining experience.

The menu features a variety of dishes and over 10 courses; top shelf Sashimi, various starters and appetizers, 8 pieces of chef’s choice nigiri, a featured dish with succulent A5 wagyu that is to die for, and more. The sushi selection and multiple course dinner is impressive, showcasing freshness and skill in preparation by Chef Taiki and team.

Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with a top notch experience throughout your meal and the saki drinks just keep flowing.

If you’re looking for an authentic omekase, high-quality Japanese food in an exclusive private and intimate setting, Kuramoto is definitely worth a visit. 5 stars and highly recommend!

Made a reservation for lunch since I had business nearby. It’s located in a large-ish shopping center with a decent amount of parking. The space is clean, somewhat minimal, and intimate with only bar seating. I feel like the bar top is a little high which obscures the view of the chefs working, but NBD.

Lunch moves at your pace of choosing unless you linger. Service is nice enough, pretty typical. The lunch Omakase starts with a sashimi salad which was just average. Chawanmushi was solid with a mild flavored stock, smooth egg and pieces of seafood. Sushi followed and though it was pleasant, there was nothing memorable, out of the ordinary, or hyper seasonal. The Tamago was really light and ate almost like a cake. The cup of dashi before dessert was a treat.

A solid lunch for the price point, but nothing really stood out. I’m sure dinner service will offer more highpoints but of course comes the equivalence in price. I’d come back for lunch if I was in the area, but it’s not worth a special trip.
