Sort of tucked away in an industrial zone is a small little sushi oasis called Kura Sushi. Located near the northwest intersection of Britannia and Kennedy Road just south of the 401 is a rather small almost out of place establishment that has some good eats as far as a la carte sushi goes.
Japanese for me ranks right up there as one of my favorite cuisines and it's not often I'll have it two evenings in a row. I just went to August 8 in Bramalea City Centre the evening before with a bunch of friends for dinner and the only reason I'd have it the following evening was because my nephew who just celebrated his 12th birthday was craving sushi for his celebratory dinner.
I wasn't really looking to go back to another AYCE place and wanted a bit of a change so I was able to pick a place that my fellow Yelpers recommended and that wasn't too far from where my family live in Mississauga.
There were 6 of us (4 adults and 2 children) and it wasn't that busy when we arrived but more people started to come in during the evening since it was around dinner time. I decided to change things up a bit because just having sushi the night before I ended up getting the chicken katsu dinner and a salmon skin roll on the side. They had a build your own bento which has about 16 choices or so and you can choose 3 for 14 bucks and that's what my mom ended up ordering. My wife asked for the seafood udon bowl (soup) while everybody else just got a different mix of maki rolls.
The service was very friendly and the quality of the food was great. I noticed the rolls were not heavy on the rice and light on the inside either. The portions were good sized and the rolls were constructed well. I have to say when it comes to a la carte sushi places I tend to expect more that is, better quality food over quantity which is what most AYCE places are about.
Kura is a nice, smaller family style a la carte menu sushi place which has a lot of variety in their menu to select from as well as good quality servings with good sized portions. As far as a la carte Japanese places this is definitely one of the better ones for value and quality in the north central Mississauga area.
