Kurokoi - Blue Ridge (GA)

5 /5 Sam Simpson: I have never dined at a restaurant with a perfect 5.0 score on Google, and I simply had to experience it myself. The rating is definitely every bit deserved. Extremely kind service, very accommodating with modifications to the food for allergen concerns too! Their unique and flavorful recipes wowed us all, and the presentation was always a treat too. Extra thanks to Amber for making our night so special!

5 /5 Adrienne North: Food was great! We got the pork gyoza and sushi! Our drinks were very good too. Our server Ana was very sweet and tentative. She gave us great recommendations and all tasted great! We ate inside which was nice, but the outdoor seating also has a great view of downtown!

5 /5 Jodi ByJodi: Words fall short in expressing just how phenomenal this restaurant is. We come from the Bay Area and Los Angeles (California) originally, and it makes it very challenging to enjoy sushi anywhere else in the states. Kurokoi measures up to the best we have had. The freshness of the fish and the fusion of flavors by the chef created menu are IMPECCABLE. I’m a sashimi person because I am looking for the quality of the fish and don’t care for the mash up of extras but this is the rare exception. The rolls are amazing. Absolutely amazing and STILL highlight the integrity of the fish. They serve you each dish as it is ready, meaning when it is FRESHEST. I have seen reviews on here misunderstanding this and complaining about who gets what first. But trust me, this is the right (and in my opinion, the ONLY) way to eat sushi. Get a couple of things to share so everyone can eat together in the beginning and then trust the process and let them *wow* you with an experience you won’t get anywhere else in GA. Justin was awesome! He made great suggestions that got us out of our comfort zone so we could really experience what Kurokoi had to offer. As for the pricing, you get what you pay for. Here you are paying for the best. You’re paying for top tier fish curated by a top tier chef. If you’re on a budget, it’s definitely the place worth saving for. Run, don’t walk. You won’t regret it.

5 /5 Strawberry Mocha: I went at around 6PM on a Monday evening. The service was awesome, there wasnt too much of a wait, it wasnt very crowded, and it was quiet. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, lighting was soft. They had soft music playing. I had one concern: The windows were shaded, so from outside, it looked like they were closed. I say this in case others see that and think the same: check if theyre open just in case. As for the food, I got the shrimp tempura roll because Im on a sort of quest to find the best shrimp tempura sushi roll in the Blue Ridge area. Kurokoi is currently in first place! I noticed that they had the same price as Kizuna ($12 per roll), so I was hoping that they would be better than Tin Loong, ($9 per roll) and they delivered! Kurokoi seemed focused on quality, which I loved. I must praise their use of ingredients. I could taste and feel the quality. The avocado was rich and fleshy, the cucumber was fresh and crunchy, the shrimp was crispy and, well... Shrimpy! Also, I hate sesame seeds, they usually add a terrible texture to the sushi, BUT this time, they tied it all together, which was AWESOME! I did have the problem that I got to-go while I went to go pick up my sister-in-law, so I didnt eat it fresh. I wish I had been able to eat it while it was still fresh, and I believe it would be even better fresh! This was an amazing experience, and I would come back, if not for their shrimp tempura sushi roll, then for their lovely environment, and to try something else on their menu. My aunt gifted me a $25 card for Christmas, so Im definitely coming back! Hopefully this time Ill be able to dine-in for a better experience. 10/10, would try again! -a local Im editing this to add that I am SO glad that I came back! The server was Scotty (I hope I remembered his name correctly) and he was so fun! I had the shrimp tempura sushi roll yet again and this time it was fresh and did not disappoint! If only I had been able to try it fresh the first time. I also had the mango mochi which was very delicious as well! 110/10, 美味しい！！

5 /5 Sarah Sparrow: Fantastic experience! The food is truly next level. You can taste in every bite the quality and authenticity of the ingredients and the skill being executed. Even the rice was noteworthy, so perfectly done. Incredibly fresh and unique features in each dish. Drinks and service were exceptional as well. Our server, Justin, was welcoming and helpful. Update: Have visited four times and have been blown away by the freshness, flavors, and execution every time! Kurokoi is a fantastic experience in every way!
