KAGURA AUTHENTIC JAPANESE CUISINE

A great Japanese restaurant a short walk from the hotels on Nusa Dua beach. Quality of the sushimi and zaru soba we ordered was very good. Prices are a little high, but not to stop a repeat visit

Don’t come here if you looking for nice ramen or nice chiken curry rice, they have no idea how to serve nice and good ramen. The chiken rice was so so, good but i can taste the curry was from instant curry. Sushi was good but not the best

We are foodies from Singapore and we love our flavourful and creative sushi rolls. We also treat our reviews seriously. We stumbled upon Kagura by searching for Sushi roll on Google map and I was lured in because I saw that it had hotel transfer for dinner service and the pricing is a lot more competitive than the insanely overpriced Japanese restaurants residing within the hotels in the Nusa Dua district. We tried RIN at Conrad hotel that had somewhat good reviews and were very disappointed.

Overall, I give a 5/5 for the 3 x sushi rolls that we had + the salmon belly (generous portion)! We had the Catapiaro Roll (Signature roll), Scorpion Roll (Signature) & Dragon Roll and all 3 of the hit the spot! We also had a complimentary banana spilt and it was great as well.

Service was attentive and responsive. I called to arrange for dinner service hotel pickup at 6pm and the staff was prompt to facilitate throughout. We had an infant with us too and the crew took note of it and prepared the baby chair in advance to our arrival. They also remembered that I mentioned that I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

The dining atmosphere was great as well. Spacious, clean, dim lit and cosy environment.

We are looking to change our restaurant dining schedule to revisit Kagura again. If only we discovered it earlier.

If you got to this part of the review, look no further if you want to have authentic, delicious and price competitive Japanese food in Nusa Dua. The other good alternatives will be at Kuta area, more than 20 minutes drive away.

Hopefully this review will help you!

*2nd review: We visited Kagura again for lunch and was pleasantly surprised that they offered hotel transfer for lunchtime too. Unsure if they will continue this service during peak travelling periods as we are here in March and it seems like a lull period.

This time, we had 4 x rolls, the mushroom roll, Salmon Avocado roll, and repeated the Catapiaro Roll and Scorpion Roll. The mushroom roll was novel and covered with crispy tempura for added texture. The Salmon Avocado roll had cream cheese and was on par with the Scorpion Roll (the best one in our opinion).

We were also surprised with complementary ice cream (2 scoop) for being return customers (again not sure if this is the norm!).

If I could give a ten star I would! The food is fantastic and the service is fast. The sashimi is so thick, cold and fresh. The fried squid is amazing. As is everything else we have tried. It’s our second day coming here. We wish we had found it earlier. Love everything about this place. We have had lunch and dinner here. The sake is super yummy too! Miso soup was filled with tofu and seaweed…

I stopped by to eat some neat Japanese food.
The tofu avocado salad is small in quantity, but light and delicious.
squid sugatayaki is not tough and is easy to eat.
As shown in the mix sashimi picture, the amount is very small, so if you really, really want to eat sashimi, order it with anticipation.
I don't recommend mix sushi because it tastes bland, like it's not made well, and the rice grains are weak.
The miso soup was a bit disappointing. I think you could give it as a service rather than putting it on the menu.
The portion size was very small, so two people visited and ate 6 dishes.

We found this restaurant walking around in the area looking for lunch options. The place is very spacious, cozy and serene. It is done with such good taste and is absolutely gorgeous. Food was great and the mushroom sushi was one of the best I have tried. The soba noodles were also great. They have vegetarian options but not too many when it comes to main course. The staff came across as bit disinterested. I would still recommend this place if you like Japanese food in a Japanese look alike set up.

Fast service, warm welcoming from the staffs, big portion and reasonable price. Always passing by this restaurant but never dine in .... until 31.12.23 we had dinnere there. Surely will go back when we are in nusadua area

Great ambience and good service.
Sushi was hit and miss, some were nice some were average.
Nice gesture from staff to offer us a shuttle back to our hotel without asking
