This place is *outstanding*. I’ve traveled extensively and I don’t know that I’ve been to another sushi restaurant in the USA that has this quality and variety of fish, coupled with this level of execution and also with friendly and prompt service. I’ll be going every time I’m in Sacramento. Honestly I won’t be going anywhere else when I’m in Sacramento lol. Wow. Just wow.

This is "our spot" for my wife and I. Celebrated many things at Kru. She LOVES sushi, but I don't. Kru has something for everyone!!
The Wagyu is terrific..always on point. The burger is good too, but I order medium rare, and it usually comes medium well. Oh well, I need to stop being so freakin white and not order the burger at the japanese restaurant!!
Seriously though, amazing food, top-notch service, and an astounding bar program!

5 stars On everything. I ordered the Asparagus soup, a duck skewer appetizer, and the Tesla. All seasoned well. Flavors were outstanding. I wouldn't even call this place pricey. It's not cheap, but you definitely pay for what you get. Top Ten restaurants I've been to. I'll be back.

Pricey. Worth every penny.
At some point I stopped taking pictures because I was so focused on savoring the nigiri I was eating. Sat at the sushi bar, watched it prepared by expert hands and described to me as it was handed over. Fish was exquisite, fresh, melt in your mouth good. Great selection including a lot of options I haven’t had since I was in Japan.
If you’re a sushi snob, this is the place for you. Will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Sac.

Delicious food, we ordered several dishes, sushi and dessert and each single item was really tasty.
The waitress was trying to oversell a bit, but I'll let it pass because the food was among the best I've had in Sacramento

Very mediocre, incredibly banal, poor quality and way too expensive for what you get.
If, like me, you feel a liking for a good sushi, that’s definitely NOT THE PLACE to go. Not only the food but also the ambiance don’t have much to do with a real Japanese restaurant; feels more like a factory !
I bet no Japanese ever set a foot in this place ! I also suspect that most of the prise in the opinions below come from poêle who work in that place rather than from real customers.

This place is beautiful inside and has some very nice employees. Everyone greeted us and our server was amazing. The food cam out quick and he made sure my kids were satisfied. Every plate was packed with flavor. I did not like that me and the kids were sat in the bar area with tall seats. We got what we thought was kobe tar tar. And it was cooked and over cooked at that. The taste was there but the meat was a bit dry. The same thing with the chicken Katsu. It tasted like it was made in old oil and was extremely dry for being chicken thighs. Over all the experience was good and the food tasted great.

Exquisite sushi! The beet salad was not only plated elegantly, but the flavors were so masterly put together. The dining experience here is phenomenal. the sashimi we had was another beautiful presentation and throughly delicious. Great fun..thanks everyone.

Great food and drinks, a little expensive and some portions are very small, but everything is artfully presented and well done!
Update: Food and drinks are still great!

Let's begin with the service. Absolutely wonderful staff, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. The staff moved around the tables in a very non disturbing way. My water glass was.never half empty. The minite I felt I needed something, a staff member was there to provide without even asking. The atmosphere was wonderful in that it was just enough light to create a romantic setting while also extremely quiet.
The food, i mean the sushi melted the minute you bite into it.
It is absolutely worth the visit.

Ordered delivery from here last night. Some of the fish and the crab fill tasted a little off, but didn't think anything of it. Now I'm in hour three of being sick from both ends.
This is the first time in more than a decade of living in Sacramento that any sushi has made me sick. Ordered the rainbow roll and california roll and caterpillar (thought I'd have leftovers for breakfast, lol), and that's all I had to eat yesterday so there's no way it was anything else. I don't know if they actually prepare the delivery meals at Kru—there are reports they use a ghost kitchen. Anyway, don't order delivery. Absolutely miserable.

Like typical Sacramento establishments the food is not the main focus. Sushi was on par with most other restaurants. The presentation is better and the garnishments are the highlight. If you don't like pickled garnishments and sauce this isn't the spot. Rolls are all good but very similar other than a slice apple, a sauce or slight variation. Fish is fresh but I wouldn't put it higher than other upscale establishments.
What makes this not up scale is the table service. At this price range they should be clearing plates before dishes come out. Providing better drink service, water service is great but we want drinks. Just felt like another chain restaurant, which is the biggest draw back.
Lastly as the sober driver I am deeply disappointed in the beverage options. All I want is something other than water that is caffeine free. Nothing on the beverage menu but glass bottle cokes, no diet soda, no mocktail and the waitress glazed over me when I wanted something caffeine free at 8pm at night.
