Kurama Japanese Seafood,

"First time there, and I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised when the chef came out to make our meal with just three people at the table! I've been elsewhere where they have you wait for a full table."

"Our first time trying this hibachi place I would say, it didn’t disappoint me in the aspect of food wise, was a big difference than other hibachi which is a good thing. I had gotten an emperor dinner. My food was cooked perfect, the food was amazing and great. My chef was an amazing person, but the waitress not the best I started with one person and ended up having another person providing our drinks, waitress was not very attentive, I didn’t see any sushi in the menu which I had to even ask if they had, which then they provided a different menu just for sushi. My drinks, sushi and food was great don’t get me wrong. I just feel the waitress should be more tentative to their table. I would recommend it just because if the food and the chef. But not for the waitress and the service I got from them."

"Warning, place was pretty dirty. Service was poor even for a busy Saturday. Bar tender and people at our table were very nice though. Food tasted good. My fillet was maybe an ounce though. The total amount of rice was obscene at all tables ~4 cups. I hear Kanki is no different. Just alerting others. We do not want a refund or credit. Durham has an unfilled need for a clean Hibachi restaurant with good food, service, and management."

"Went for my nephew’s birthday party and food was good but our waitress absolutely sucked! She brought our drinks out and never returned to the table to refill our drinks. The cook when he was finished cooking asked my nephew if he wanted more drink. Her attitude was also unpleasant. On top of that because we had a big party my gratuity was $18 and the waitress didn’t deserve $5."

"The place is old and dungy. The cook from El Salvador did a great job, and food was good. I would rate him at 5 and the venue at 1, thus the 3 star rating. Cocktail was okay and the second one I ordered, although it was strong, it was not made with Patron, as it was supposed to be. Most of all, cleanliness was a concern. They cleaned the cooking tables, but not so much the serving tables. While my friends and I enjoyed ourselves, I would not go back."
