Kuro (in Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood)

The food here is absolutely delicious. I am from the Middle West and visited the Hard Rock Hotel for work. I love sushi and was interested to see what Kuro had to offer. The sushi tasted extremely fresh and the Kuro Roll was a completely unique experience with cucumber instead of rice. I also had her dessert and the ginger cake with caramelized apples and whisky ice cream was for dying. I could have eaten two plates! If I'm ever back in town, I'll be sure to visit again.

This is a must see place. The Sushi was absolutely phenomenal!!! The two chefs that prepared our sushi were awesome! They told us all about the fish and served us amazing cuts. So fresh, it was like heaven on your tongue!!

Kuro was the place we chose to entertain our client as it was a special dinner. The front was awesome with the shell wall, the usher ladies were super couterous and friendly. Once seated we had a great server that shared with us wine and drink options followed by starters. We took the pickled cucumber, roasted brussel sprouts , veg tempura, sashimi platter to begin with. The brussel sprouts was the star, with a nice honey sauce at the bottom that elevated the roasted Brussels flavor. The cucumbers were fresh and flavorful, but not amazing. Tempura was well battered and veggie used were in good variety. For main course, I ordered the avacado veggie sushi, and my friends ordered some fancy meat sushi platters (checkout the video). In closing we had the doughnuts that came with three sauces and was a great close . The ambience, the service and above all the crowd was all very welcoming, warm and left you wanting to come again ! Totally worth the effort in getting there and spending the time for some good memorable times.

I would give ten stars if it was possible. We wanted to try something different than the typical steakhouse. This was the perfect choice. An absolutely stunning restaurant with extra welcoming staff. The cocktails are listed as 5 of the 6 different Japanese tastes- sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter. We started with a sweet and also a sour. Both were delicious but we both preferred the sour if asked to choose. You’ll have the option to order à la carte where your order will arrive separately at various times or Omakase style. Omakase is a Japanese phrase, used when ordering food in restaurants, that means 'I 'll leave it up to you ' (from Japanese 'to entrust ' . We chose à la carte and ordered: Edamame- Sea Salt $7: this seemed to be boiled versus steamed but I preferred. Tuna Crispy Rice- wakame seaweed, togarashi chili, tosazu jelly $20: a crunchy bottom with a smooth tuna top. Pork Belly Skewers- duroc pork, tomoto-yuzu jam 2PC $12: cooked perfectly and nice balance with the jam. Japanese Wagyu Beef $25/PER OUNCE- HOT STONE ISHIYAKI (3 ounce minimum 6 ounces $150: this was a fun experience where you place each piece of meat on the hot stone for just a few seconds to sear it with provided sesame oil. Then also included other sauces and salts. There’s even some grilled vegetables and pickled cucumbers. Mix and match until your heart desires. Beef Short Rib Entree- gochujong demi, shallot, red pepper $45: the absolute best short rib with a dark and salt au jus. Also a creamy sauce with some small shallot slices and red pepper slices. Ribeye Miso Entree- pinenut miso, grilled vegetables, shiso dressing $66: the most tender ribeye you’ll ever have. The flavors are just perfectly balanced and everything just melts together in every bite. O toro sashimi $15: I’ve tried just standard toro and enjoyed it but wanted to try these even fattier cuts. Chu toro sashimi $11: in the end I prefer right in the middle with the Chu toro cut. We ordered two desserts to go: the doughnuts- anko ganache, peanut butter, matcha anglaise $10 and the matcha milk chocolate cake- mascarpone sabayon, candied pine nut, white peach sorbet $13. Doughnuts are a safe and delicious option for anyone but the matcha cake is light, creamy and fantastic as a adventurous diner. This was absolutely amazing and we will have to be back again. Thank you Janae for providing us excellent service and helping us through all the options. You were delightful and made this an enjoyable experience.

I love Sushi and this was the best Sushi in the area I’ve had. As a business owner myself, I must give the waitress Erin who attended us a 10 for she was a huge part of our wonderful experience last night. Thank you Erin and thank you Adham Kadaj (manager) for an unforgettable evening. We will be back…soon!
