Kagura is on the main level of those new University City condos. Finally, a ramen and sushi restaurant in the NW. It's a nice and spacious restaurant with 2 levels. There's one section that serves more like a bar-type environment and the other half has booths, tables and half booths. We sat in a booth. It was about 4 p.m. when we ate at the restaurant so there was not many people around. The kitchen is open-concept so you can see the chef making your food.
We ordered the following:
- Kagura Premium Roll - a roll with prawn tempura and beef slices on the outside of the roll sprinkled with chopped green onions. Quite tasty.
- Beef Brisket Curry with rice - really tasty and not at all spicy. Comes with red slices of ginger.
- Shia Ramen - big bowl of piping hot clear broth with loads of ramen, pork belly, seaweed, 2 halves of a boiled egg, green onions for garnish. Comes with a big wooden ladle so it's easy to drink up the broth. The broth is quite tasty and not at all salty.
Yes, we'd come back. I like the service. It's still fairly new. The kitchen does not have a lot of items yet even though it's on their menu. There is a paper menu that you tick off what you want but the items in the menu is not the same as the paper menu eg. Seared Whole Squid was not available. Hopefully, Kagura will be full steam ahead with a fully functional menu to surprise our tastebuds!
