The daily specials board rarely changes. I think the eel bowl has been `on special` for about six months now, but then again, it is amazing. As a starter, I recommend steamed edamame (soybeans) or the shrimp dumplings. Kurama has a delicious selection of hot noodle bowls as well. For dessert, brave the green tea ice cream.
Sushi on a conveyor belt is raw heaven. You can order from the menu, but most people simply choose from the rotating already made rolls, which are on color-coded plates for easy pricing, gold being the most expensive. Chefs work in an enclosed area to restock the conveyor belt--always reminds me of that episode of `I Love Lucy` where the chocolate moves too fast and she gets behind! I think Kurama exceeds sushi standards but is surprisingly affordable (huge ramen bowl for $5, spider rolls for $5). If you`re lucky, my friend Karla will be your waitress. She sits in a booth and knits when it`s not busy.
