Kurai Texas

Kauri is on fire!!! Even before getting in, you can smell the broccoli, chicken, and the noodles, just what you need to build up the appetite before you get in. Once you’re in there, greeted by the staff, the receptionist takes care of you right away, then taken to a table where they ask you what your beverage of choice is and then, you’re off to get your plate and on the Buffay line. My taste buds were in heaven waiting to pick up my first piece of sushi. From the pics and videos I posted, you can call it sushi heaven. A little bit of everything for different pallets. I have to admit, I serve myself a couple of pieces of sushi from all the selections. I had to get a second plate because just beyond where all the sushi was, that’s where you had your eggrolls, your fried chicken, your soups, your noodles, your fried rice, your teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, and your salads. The teriyaki chicken was super savory, soft to the tongue, and went down the throat like butter. The egg rolls and fried chicken were crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. The beef and broccoli was super fulfilling, not too saucy and the broccoli, steamed to perfection. You definitely got to go and check this place out, don’t rush your time there, eat as much of whatever you want for as long as you want, and make it a great experience as I did.

Good things 1st: the wait staff is awesome; Jackie and Bea are super! The price is fair for a sushi buffet. For a packed-out restaurant it was mostly clean. Now for the Not-So-Good: This place is weirdly popular, so it's totally packed. Just be prepared to have to stand in line and wait to even get in the building. The patrons are slobby, rude and loud so this is NOT a good date venue. The staff could not keep up with the ridiculous messes the patrons kept making everywhere, don't even look at the condiment bar. The manager was on top of things, but they need staff who only just walk behind patrons cleaning up after them. Lastly, I'm sorry but the sushi isn't that great and neither is the hot food. Yeah, I realize it's a buffet but... You'd be better off buying your sushi from the counter at HEB - seriously, the have coupons (especially on Wednesday) Or just go to a real sushi restaurant. I was excited and wanted to give it a fair shot. Maybe one of the other locations will prove to be better than the one in Pharr.
