Came in here on a whim, and wasn't disappointed! Food was delicious, waitress was cute, and it felt really authentic. They were out of a couple things but it was near closing time on a Sunday so completely understandable! I'm not sure if the waitress was wearing a maid like outfit because it was uniform or just because she wanted to but like I said it was cute. Also, it's not like a maid cafe but just a nice touch. I don't think they have their liquor license yet but it's not a reason to not go. I guess my only down side is that it was on the pricy side, but worth it!
Best sushi I've had since I've lived in Japan. Thank you. Generous fish in rolls. Very fresh. Good rice seasoning. This is where we will go for sushi from now on! Kid-friendliness: Not busy and not fancy.
We are repeat customers. Don't be fooled by the modest storefront. This is the real deal. Very pleased with our meals. Extremely fresh fish and impressive selection. Rolls were well constructed - well balanced and seasoned nicely. We will be back.Recommended dishesSashimi, Sushi, Seaweed Salad, Trust the Chef
Update: I tried the takoyoki this time. It’d be better if it were hotter though American generally don’t like their food hot. I also ordered the Trust the Chef and Uni sushi. If you like traditional Japanese sushi. Definitely go with it. The chef will make slices in front of you to keep the freshness if you sit at the bar. Try Japanese lofi music next time. It helps create a relaxing atmosphere. You can find Americanized sushi and Japanese sushi here. I preferred the latter. However, the interior is a bit different from the photos I see on google maps. By the way, the music isn’t a good fit for the vibe.
I’d say this is the best food in Keene. The ingredients are so fresh and the meat just melts in your mouth. It sets a new bar for sushi. The staff is super friendly too. I highly recommend omakase set dinner at the bar. You won’t regret it!
It was my day off and I had an appointment at the vet in Claremont and, you know, I wanted to make a trip of it and take myself out for lunch/dinner. So I periodically get into Yelp and just check around and see if there is something “promising” out there that is new or that I might have missed. Imagine my SURPRISE to discover an omakase spot in Keene! I was excited. I finished up at the vet Wednesday afternoon and drove over to Kurama Omakase. I arrived shortly after 5pm and parked in one of the spots on the street right outside. Kurama looked very empty, but the “Open” sign was lit, so I went in. Now! Here’s the thing. I REALLY want to support Kurama Omakase because they are the ONLY restaurant anywhere in Vermont or New Hampshire that I know of who are even attempting to offer Omakase. From what I could gather, the sushi chef is also the owner. Which is another thing I REALLY want to support. In all honesty, Kurama is the only restaurant I have ever been comfortable even trying to eat Omakase at in VT/NH. These are big things. I would like more people to be able to experience Omakase and Kurama is out here making that happen and doing a good job at it. The sushi counter is very nice, big, roomy, L shaped. A good number of people can sit and have Omakase. The Omakase being served here is Edomae style. Which is the oldest, most traditional style developed in Tokyo area before refrigeration. The focus in Edomae is individual pieces of fish sushi that have been “flavored” in some way. My Omakase at Kurama included classic flavors: freshly zested lime, truffle, fresh shiso leaf, etc. Pieces were well executed. Flavors were good. Fish was good. I, personally, don’t love Edomae style. What I love is all the crazy, “fusion” type creative combining of ingredients to make bites that are deeply layered with flavor and texture. But I also get that the market for that kind of Omakase does not yet exist in Keene, NH. The only thing I’m going to “ding” Kurama on with their Omakase is serving a pre-made, frozen mochi ice cream as the dessert portion of an $85 meal. That’s not okay. However! The SHOWSTOPPER at Kurama was the Crispy Rice roll that I had after my Omakase. I decided to order something off their regular sushi menu to give it a try. The Crispy Rice roll is deep fried sushi rice with your choice of chopped fish I chose salmon, guacamole, scallions, roe, Teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo. DELICIOUS!!! Also wonderful mix of textures. Great mouthfeel. GET THIS ROLL. The real problem at Kurama is the atmosphere. It’s not great. The team needs to work on maintaining and professional workplace. Of course this is a problem that can be fixed and if you came with a group of people it would not matter as much. And if you get take out it won’t matter at all. But it was not a great Omakase experience for me to dine alone. They should work on that. If you are offering an elevated dining experience, like an $85 Omakase in Keene, NH, the ENTIRE experience needs to be elevated. Kurama needs to STEP UP their service in the dining room.
Best sushi in Keene! The special rolls are delicious and well-crafted, and the crispy rice rolls are a creative indulgence! Sashimi is high quality. Haven't had such great sushi since moving out of Brooklyn two years ago. Great bar area. Great music. A little too bright.Food: 5/5
The food gets five stars. It was amazing and the menu had more variety than a lot of typical sushi places. Four stars cause the wait staff was very inattentive but not rude.
Fantastic new Omakase, sushi restaurant in former Tokyo Express location. Renovated interior seating and Omakase bar. Catherine and I love sushi and finally a real deal in Keene! Great Chef Kevin and server Fiona serving up the freshest Japanese food and fish that rivals the best in Boston and beyond. They overnight fish directly from Japan and it shows. A must try, some might say expensive however your paying for fresh high quality fish. Who wants to mess with fish less so….? On another note careful of the reviews here, Google never deleted the former Tokyo Express reviews bringing them down.
Best place ever. Fish is flown in from Japan. Very fresh Sushi chefs worked in NYC, lots of great dishes. Great sushi that you can't find outside of a larger city.
