Kuro Sushi Review

After three straight days of leftover turkey, I needed a hard reset. We headed over to Main Street in Lakewood Ranch to try the new Kuro Sushi spot, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

We sampled a little bit of everything to get the lay of the land. The Yellowtail crudo with its bright lemon vinaigrette hit first with a clean, refreshing pop. The Roku roll kept that momentum going with a solid balance of texture and flavor.

If you are in the area and want something light and well executed, those two dishes alone make the stop worth it.

The whole menu is served small-plates style and comes out as its ready. So I recommend staggering your order.
