The place is on the second floor, an elevator ride from the street level. The menu is structured in such a way that chef makes pretty much all choices for you. You just pick either $100, $140, or $300 and over option. I picked a $100 option - chef's choice of sushi with one roll of chef's choice. I also wanted one uni sushi so I had to add a $12 order - one uni sushi - to my $100 order of the unknown sushi.
The food arrived fairly fast but the quality and taste were underwhelming.
Long story short, our bill for three rolls, two appetizers (seaweed salad and fatty tuna), ten pieces of sushi and one small sake was $250 before tax and tip.
Very poor value for the money and the experience was borderline frustrating and underwhelming. I don't mind paying fair amount for great food and experiences but this time it was just not worth it.
The place is traditional and snobby (traditional Japanese places do not expect to receive tips) but the bill still had a line to add a tip.
I was very embarrased in front of my friend for chosing this place and bringing him there.
No, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. -

As one of the top 10 most expensive restaurants in NYC, Kuruma is not as egregious as Masa but it comes pretty close (approx $300 pp). The sashimi though was spectacularly succulent, fresh, and melted in your mouth... and the sake selection to my amateur eye looked impressive. We ordered sashimi and sushi a la carte, and price wise came out similar to if we had done one of their dinner sets (the intention was that it would come out cheaper but alas not the case... at least our method gave us a more customized meal though!). Also got some apps: miso soup, seaweed salad, tuna with sweet & sour miso sauce, oshinko (pickled veggies), and negi toro. Lastly: fresh fruit and green tea ice cream for dessert was the smoothest I've ever tasted! Incredible meal indeed, but worth the price? Hardly... we did stuff ourselves though, perhaps could do it for about $200 pp but it's still more than I'd like to spend on my own. Would only go here on an expense account
