Reviews for Kuro Bistro in Lake Forest, IL

Great place! Girls night out. Not only we love every single dish from appetisers to sushi . Fresh sushi rolls with visible... recognisable pieces of fish. Salad was very fresh and crispy , appetisers had mouthwatering flavours. Pricing on menu was veryaffordable . We enjoy food and ambiance of this place Our waitress was attentive and kind. Will absolutely come back and bringour friends and family again. Read more

The fish at Kuro Bistro is unbelievably fresh and has made me now unwilling to partake in other, lesser sushi that I might have... found acceptable before dining at Kuro. The hospitality and ambience are warm and welcoming, as the owner greeted us, took ourorder, and checked in with us to ask how the meal was progressing. Each piece of sushi and sashimi was beautifully presented,reflecting the great care that goes into preparation. I look forward to returning there and highly recommend Kuro Bistro toanyone who is looking for the best in fresh and artistically presented sushi and sashimi. Read more

Got a bit of food, one of the rolls was the Shikago. Ughhh. There was a SLIVER of salmon, lots of cream cheese and avacado. And... the breading was thick. All I tasted was the rice/breading and it was flavorless. Eww. Definately a disappointment. (And neverreceived and refills on drinks.) Read more

Absolutely astounding dinner on a snow squall spring night!!! Everything from perfect drinks, to delicious apps, to fabulous... main, to wonderful sides, to delectably decadent desserts; was phenomenal! Everything was beyond fresh, seasoned to perfection,flavors out of this world, and tasted like they were homemade with love and perfection. Like you were trying to impress grandmafor sharing her famous recipe! Our server was impressed with what we ordered and asked if we had been to Japan; she said weordered the best of the best on their menu. If I?m being 1000% honest; it was one of the best meals we have had out in yearsfrom start to finish flavor and service wise. Anyone who knows me knows how many astounding chefs are in our family, besidesthe fact I?d personally prefer to cook at home almost any day rather than going out.. growing up surrounded by professionalchefs and bakers, besides working in the high end aspect of the industry managing gold coast restaurants and teaching etiquetteclasses; how picky I am when we go out? my ocd focused on everything down to the fine details; Kuro is a 13 out of 10!

I started eating at Kuro Bistro last year and it has since become one of my favorite restaurants which I frequent about once a... month. First, the food is outstanding! I've been here nearly 10 times and have had various appetizers (gyoza, Calamari,Hawaiian taco etc.) 4 or 5 sushi rolls, the pecking duck and the chicken teriyaki. My girlfriend and I find the food farfresher tasting then other local restaurants and my family, some of which don't typically like the oriental flavors, always raveabout the quality and portion size. second reason to come here, the staff. While they are all awesome, whenever I come here, Iask if Lexi is available, she is THE best. Not only did she remember us, she's really knowledgeable about the food, providesgreat service, and is genuinely nice conversation. My dad asks a lot of questions, and she's very patient. Lastly, thisrestaurant does something I call floating service. While you do have a waiter/waitress, anyone working will ask if you needanything, refill drinks etc. We rarely if ever wait for a refill on water, desert menu, recommendations etc. If you come priorto peak dinner (5-6:15 on weekdays) , you can be in and out in 45 minutes. The place is nicely decorated, the music is there butnot to loud, and its trendy, a good spot for a date or meeting up after work. If you like what you see on the Menu, come here.Seriously, If you like sushi, even their burgers, its worth a try! Read more

Great atmosphere, amazing wait staff, and delicious food. I ordered the crazy salmon sushi and it's one of the best sushi I've... ever tasted. Edit: I went again with my boyfriend and his family, and again, it was a great experience. Lexi was our waiter,and she was so friendly and nice! Not only was the food good, but the atmosphere in general was amazing. 10/10! Read more
