| - For the most part, I usually agree with my fellow Yelper Stephanie S. but I can understand why we diverged so much this time. Her review was from 2014, and so let's just say things at Kura Sushi have changed.....for the worst.
A co-worker and I decided to go out for lunch today. He recommended Kura Sushi. He said it was good and the prices decent. So we ordered off the flyer he had.
I had the bento (beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, sushi & maki - were my 3 choices). Co-worker pretty much ordered the same.
When we arrived, the 10% take-out discount was no longer offered. Cashier said it was "probably from an old flyer". Also shocked to find out that prices for every dish had increased by at least $1. FYI, the "previous" lunch specials like beef teriyaki have gone up $2 (from $10.95 to $12.95). So my bento with a side order of spicy tuna maki roll came up to $23; DEFINITELY not worth it!!! (I told my colleague we should go to Park Sushi next time at that price point.)
Ok to put make matters worse, I asked for some spicy mayo and the cashier told me it would be another $1. LMAO :( PASS.
The food itself was ok, it wasn't great, but also not bad. We live in the GTA, so I would never say anything fresh unless I eat the seafood caught right at the fish markets of Japan.
On the way back to the office, co-worker laughed and said the only reason he had not gone there in a while was that it was "pricey", so needless to say after this price increase, he (and I) won't be visiting there ever.
