Kurama Sushi & Noodle Express - Restaurant in Chapel Hill - 105 N Columbia St, USA

I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life time. We ended up at this place because all the power was out across the street and decided to have sushi. Order edamame, ramen, some sushi rolls like the UNC roll and another one similar and some sashimi in the pics. This place also looks like it has a sushi conveyor belt which I generally actively avoid as I like to order sushi and have it made right then. The sushi rolls were good as they had deep friend shrimp in them. The ramen was good but nothing special and did not have high quality ingredients like I'm used to a places that specialize in ramen...like the broth was meh. The edamame was warm up top but by the time we go to the bottom, it was still still frozen. The sashimi was ok and usually I get a side of wasabi with it but nothing came with it. It also took a really long time between the time we ordered until the food came out.

The sushi here wasn't great, but the good price/value was definitely there. I'd say it's a small step above grocery store sushi while remaining at grocery store sushi price. Also, you really can't beat their price for nigiri anywhere else, and it was pretty good. I'd come back just to fulfill my need for nigiri. The best roll was the kurama roll. Spicy crunchy roll was okay. I think I enjoyed the Hiro roll. Lava roll was okay. Also, I came for the sushi conveyor but it wasn't running for some reason. Felt a little bait&switched since I would have picked somewhere else with a running conveyor if I had known. Service walking in was a little weird since they expected us to find our own seat, but there was no sign walking in to tell us that. Deciding between 4* or 5* was not easy cause it can really go either way. The food is cheap, so I say give it a chance and decide for yourself.

All the rolls and nigiri were amazing and came out fast. The restaurant was clean and not busy. Will definitely go again!

This place was great and fast enough service that we forgot to take food pics. However, can confirm this place is excellent. To make up for my lack of food pics here's a picture of a cat eating sushi which was part of the ambiance in the restaurant. Would absolutely come here again

This was my first time eating sushi. I ordered the Vegetable Crunchy Roll (8 pc of sushi) and asked to make it real spicy. The sushi itself tasted great, but it wasn't spicy at all, and I don't think that it was because of my spice tolerance. I also ordered the Vegetable Spring Rolls, which were really yummy. They were warm but not too hot and tasted better than your average Chinese takeout spring roll. What it lacked, it made up in the price. Very good value for food you get compared to price. A LOT of other sushi places are double some of these prices. The waiter also was very nice and helpful in deciding what to get. Overall, if you like sushi then you should definitely give this place a try. If you haven't ever had sushi then what are you waiting for? Go try some!

Definitely the most reasonably-priced and tastiest sushi in the area! You will definitely get more than your money's worth. The staff are efficient and friendly, too.

A great restaurant for those who have a passion for delicious sushi. This place is excellent for going on dates. We went here and our waitress was so friendly and kind.

Awesome price and the least salty thing I had in the states but not flavorless. So good
