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!

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!!
