Kuru Kuru Sushi - Bellingham

This is my favorite place but today it’s kind of disappointed because of the quality and food appearance of salmon sashimi . I would not recommend it. But other than that it is fine.Food: 4/5

I've been here many times, and the sushi has been decent for belt sushi, but after the last few times, I couldn't bring myself to ignore how dirty the place is. I'm not sure if it's always been that way or if it's just gotten worse. It started to make me concerned about food preparation and cleanliness. The staff turnover is very consistent, and the one person we did see stick around for a while ended up working at another restaurant we visit sometimes. They confirmed some very unsanitary practices and the poor treatment of the staff. When we went, we’d try never to go at peak times because first come, first serve isn't always how they seat people. I think it might have to do with the size of your party, but sometimes they will sit others that have arrived after you. It's not always clear why.

Excellent sushi on a rotating line. Plenty of choices, some of them are a bit repetitive. But, you can order whatever you want off the menu. The stuff we ordered came out very quickly. Great quality Nigiri and I rolls.Food: 5/5

For what this place offers, the food is great. My favorite roll is the seared salmon roll. Some of their basic rolls are pretty good to! Service was also good. Only reason why this is not 5 stars is because I had to remind them about a roll I ordered because they must've forgot to put it in. I would recommend going early and if you do come later in the day/night, be prepared to wait.

I've been going here for years, and while I will likely continue to visit every once in a while, I have noticed that the service just isn't as good as it used to be. It's less expensive than Zen (the other conveyor sushi place in town) but that's really the only thing it has going for it at this point. I feel like they are always understaffed, so you have to flag down one of the wait staff anytime you need something (which can take a while if they're busy with other tasks). It seems odd because they always have tons of staff in the kitchen. Maybe all they need is one or two more experienced servers on the team.
