Reviews of Japanese Kitchen Kura (Restaurant)

Tyson S

Good tasting rolls and was cheap enough. Very tiny though with awkwardly sized tables

Orion Taylor

Very average restaurant... I've had better Sushi and many other locations. The food did not seem to be well prepared

Brendan Miu

Great quality and authentic Japanese cuisine at modest prices. The sushi is always fresh and well executed. They also offer seasonal dishes: the Hiyashi Chuka cold ramen is delightfully refreshing in the summer weather. Don't be fooled by the ordinary decor; the food is created from quality ingredients with great attention. The service is also attentive and polite. Update: This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in town. I love that they offer something different and authentic. My favourites: mackarel nigiri, chawanmushi, and tan tan ramen.

Amazing best soup,sushi and staff

Nihriju S

Has some of the best Ramen I have ever had. Sparse interior and a little slow, but the spicy Miso Ramen is pure deliciousness. Well worth the visit.

Janice Newton

Excellent service and food. Best in Penticton. Open through the afternoon.

I rarely give out 5 star. But this place really nailed, I am really surprised to find high quality Japanese food in the small town. Ate here three day in a roll, everything I order was above average.

J Larson

Great food and reasonably priced

Great sushi, better than several other places we've tried. Japanese snacks available for purchase. Chawanmushi is great! Really worth trying, nice and hot, but not heavy. Great service and intimate atmosphere. Came twice already and will definitely be back.

Wilson Wong

Try the egg custard

Peter Cross

I came for lunch and had the salmon and tuna combo. This is seriously good sushi for 11.00, you get real salmon. I am impressed with the quality of the fish. The sushi was very good and the spicy rolls were actually spicy. The owner was very nice and the service was good. A little slow but not bad. Give it a try. Great choice.

Glen “Carlos spicy weiner”

Wonderful sushi, and really good value for the money compared to others in town! Try their steamed pork dumplings!

A very clean restaurant. The family owned staff are super friendly and provide great service. I Visit here at least once every 2 weeks and the food is consistently good and the value for money is great too. Menu is very simply and not overwhelming.

Craig Donald

Food was really good and service was average. Will go again for sure.

Dylan F

Small business with fantastic sushi. Haven't had there rice bowls yet but I'd bet they're great. Also they got more flavors of Hi-Chew, which is a huge bonus.

Copper Mountain Painting

Super weird restraunt food was good but there's only 4 tables in the place we had to take ours to go because their 4 tables were full

Justin Sowerby

Awesome food. Good portion sizes. Fair pricing. Authentic flavours.

Rambulance

I liked everything about my visit except for the main dish so I'm going to guess it was a mistake or more likely my own misunderstanding. Setting is quiet and relaxed. Service is friendly.

Leigh-ann Feist

Top pic for sure!! Great place to take the fam or meet clients. Very clean, food is always made fresh and the staff friendly and accommodating

Stevie Kenyon

Reasonable prices and delicious sushi. Phone order was easy and ready for pickup.

akiko grant

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant! They keep their Menu, relatively small, maintaining the quality of each dish. Nigiri sushi I enjoyed tonight were all so fresh and tasty to say the least. I'm so thankful that we have Japanese Kitchen Kura in Penticton.

Dale Fleming

They remeber that I never want soup. Great people. Great food.

Princess

Super cheap and tasty! Party tray A was $25 dollars with 44 pieces and its was incredible. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. Will absolutely be coming back! ????

Heather Rusk

Stopped in to kill an hour and ended up having a lovely lunch. The lunch box meals are just perfect, a little bit of sushi, a little bit of meat, and some pickled salads to finish it all up. The sushi is very nice, even though I'm not very adventurous with it. All in all a really great little place for a bite to eat.

Frank J. Toth

Great food and a new experience for me. Thanks boys!!

Tristen Evans

Really lovely food, good atmosphere and great prices!!! This is my Fav sushi joint in Penticton. Amazing Udon, Specialty sushi rolls, Miso soup is warm and comforting and they are fast! Highly recommend even just to have a cucumber roll. you wont be disappointed!

B_ The_Barber

Best sushi in town, home cooked meals as well. Great service, and great price.

noel dutchak

Best seafood udon in town. After eating here for a couple years I can say the quality never wavers and Kura maintains it's quiet and cozy atmosphere. Very polite staff always greeted with a smile, good prices for quality food. If you like japanese food this place is a must try.

Blake Anderson

Food was DELICIOUS. Real shiso leaves were a beautiful and tasty garnish. Unagi was the best we have ever had. First and last choice for sushi in Penticton.

Ray Eng

Very good Ramen

Marty Musar

Excellent Japanese food. Very simple decor, good service, good prices, good variety on the menu. Location in a busy area, but adequate parking. This is our "go to" restaurant for really tasty food.

Rachel Yu

(Translated) Easy and easy to eat.. (Original) 무난하고 편히 먹을수있는..

Michael Chan

Driving through and stopped for takeout. Wonderful presentation and care in a takeout order. BC Roll was especially pretty and well garnished and of course very tasty, albeit I forgot to take a picture, but got a picture of my vegetarian rolls. Highly recommend this place.

Tim Graves

Good sashini, nigiri and assorted sushi/japanese dishes. It was priced very well, looked good and tasted amazing. Good job guys, will be my new sushi joint.

Lloyd Westby

Andrew

Very nice place to eat. Small and clean, the service was polite and very accommodating. I was very happy with the food, particularly the home made hot sauce which was amazing.

Tricia C

Had an outstanding meal at Japanese Kitchen Kura. The sushi and shashimi was very fresh here, my favourite being the tuna and the horse mackerel. The chawanmushi and the egg custard dessert was absolutely delicious. The staff is helpful and very welcoming. Dine in and take out options were available. Easy free parking in front of the restaurant.

Jessica Locke

Worst sushi I've ever had!!! Penticton people must have low sushi standards. I couldn't even finish eating. Had to stop. Stomach felt off for rest of the day. Fish had skin still on it and the sashimi was link and tasted awful!

Alice Fraser

I discovered this little gem after being disappointed with the wait times at the other places..lol.. It has quickly become my favourite place. Courteous staff, and great food. If you haven't been, you must try it!

John Armstrong

Michele Stott

Best sushi in town for price, flavour, freshness, and speed. Friendly service and nice menu choices. My go to when I don’t want to cook or spend a lot of $$

Felicity Seraph Chow

Authentic Japanese restaurant with cosy vibes. Thoroughly enjoyed the freshness of the dishes and the friendliness and cheerfulness of the staff. Reasonably priced menu. Overall a delight!

Matsuo Kato

Quality is always excellent. I'm not a big fan of sushi so I eat a lot of their other dishes. In the summer time you have to try their Hiyashi Chuka.

jane doe

This place is never opened. Every time we plan to do sushi nights we get disappointed because 7 out of 10 times they're closed. Very frustrating with their business.

JP Espiritu

The food is fresh. From the rice to the fish to the noodles.

Albert Kue

Great food great prices.

dale leblanc

Well....i can't fairly rate this place as I never actually ate there. Took time going out of my way to go there after checking page only to find them closed. Hours on door said should be open but a small hand written note said back at 430....an hour a half after I got there....no idea how long that was up. Irritated!

jon .s

My wife and I regularly eat here. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Also the only place in bc with spicy pork ramen that I have found, it taste like it does when I had it in japan. Very good food every time and never disappointed.
