Everything is really great! The highlights are the ones with “Kuro Nami” in their names. Also, the cocktails are really tasty. The ambience is nice and modern. The servers are very attentive and quick. We got full pretty quickly, so we didn’t get dessert, but next time, we will!

Kuro Nami is not just a restaurant — it’s an experience, and truly our favorite in the entire world. This is not hyperbole. We thought our last visit was the best dining experience of our lives, but somehow this one was even better.
The sushi is beyond compare — each piece is a work of art, both in taste and presentation. Every bite is so fresh, perfectly balanced, and layered with flavors that leave you in awe. The presentation is stunning, elevating the meal into something unforgettable.
But what makes Kuro Nami so extraordinary is not only the food — it’s the love, care, and passion from the entire staff. You feel it from the moment you arrive: a sense of warmth, joy, and dedication that makes you feel like family.
Kuro Nami is simply the best restaurant and the best food in the world. Period. Go there and you’ll see.

A friend recommended this place, and we’re glad we checked it out. We had a great meal, but I must say the sushi was the best part. It was so fresh and flavorful that it was hard to stop eating. Lol However, if I had to rate this place as a 5-star restaurant, I’m not entirely sure. The food is tasty, but the service is a bit slower at the time we were there and the staff kept forgetting things we asked.

Overall C: Akira roll, Hamachi, Gyoza, seaweed salad, ‘mocktails’ that are really glorified juice drinks; seated immediately on a warm fall evening. Appreciate the care and technique that goes into the dishes, but pretty sure we didn’t get what we ordered as the rolls did not include tempura. Environment clean, staff pleasant but service slow, perhaps as we were the furthest seated table around the outdoor patio, ontop of a busy waling path. Among the lowest rated of Marin sushi restaurants we’ve tried, so prolly not returning as even farther out Fairfax is better.

The reviews don’t lie, this place is fantastic. The fish was sooo fresh and generous. The rolls were delicious and well-portioned, and priced comparably to the other high-end places. Even though we called at the last minute, they squeezed us in with a quick turn time. The service was friendly and we all agree this is the best sushi in Marin.

We narrowly missed a 45 minute wait here last week for my birthday dinner. No problems sitting at the bar – service was quick and wonderful. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully designed. I loved the super nova roll and the ocean roll, my partner liked the special roll. We were offered the typical (complimentary) wasabi and the fresh wasabi. My partner said the fresh is much better and worth ordering. We found the prices here to be reasonable especially considering the quality. We can’t wait to go back!

My experience was very delightful, the customer service and food are top tier. My friend and I were in the mood for yellowtail and they did not disappoint. I have a tendency to eat with my eyes first and I must say the taste was on point. Here are a few pics of our plates. The Explosion, rice bites and yellowtail roll. Bon appetite

I think I can confidently say this is my favorite sushi spot in Marin. From the sashimi to nigiri to specialty rolls, and to the ramen. Everything is done to perfection.
The fresh fish will melt in your mouth, and the flavors will burst.
Cocktails are not to be missed either.
The staff is so nice each time I’ve visited.
