I stumbled upon Kwi one night while looking for late night eats in AC. Iâve tried the noodle bars in most of the casinos and none are as good as this one! My go to is the wonton soup and salt and pepper pork chops. The wonton soup is served in a big bowl and has big wontons, vegetables, shrimp, chicken, pork and noodles. The flavor is delicious. We ask for chili sauce to put in it to give it a little kick. The pork chops are served with diced onions and peppers and are amazing as well! We live about an hour from AC and will make a trip down just to have dinner at Kwi!

This cozy corner is the first bistro-style restaurant you encounter after stepping off the escalator on the third level of the Playground Pier building along Atlantic Cityâs boardwalk. In addition to the round-the-bar seating, one can choose to sit in any of the comfortable cushioned chairs along the windows which offer a fine southern view of the beach, boardwalk and casino hotels. After a cordial greeting by Amanda, who took me to my seating, Amy came over to ask if I wished anything to drink. After taking my request, she left to allow me a few moments to peruse the menu. During my stay Amy was courteously attentive yet did not hover. On this visit I started off with their tasty Miso Soup. I then selected a bottle of Ozeki â Nigori sake, a full-bodied unfiltered (aka cloudy) sake to accompany my Sushi and Sashimi order which included Ahi tuna, seared tuna (delectably spicy), white tuna, salmon, mackerel yellowtail, crabstick and shrimp. The food presentation was pleasing to the eye â it made me think of a color palette, waiting to be dipped into. One extra touch was the pickled shallots which delighted my taste buds by the delicacy of the flavor and fine texture. Frankly, I enjoyed it so much, I ordered seconds! The fine edges of the sliced fresh seafood and smooth texture immediately let me know the Itamae* had his own personal set of knives. I soon discovered John has been preparing sushi and sashimi for over 18 years and has quick, steady hands while deftly slicing the fish, eel and octopus for the plate. Iâm pleased to recommend Souzai Sushi & Sake for those seeking a bit of tasty, enjoyable R&R. My only suggestion is for management: check the window seatsâ cushions more often for replacement or washing as the steady flow of diners off the boardwalk tend to scuff them up, increasing wear and tear. * Itamae = sushi chef. In the western world, the alternate term of "sushi chef" is popularly used. In Japan, becoming an itamae of sushi requires years of training and apprenticeship.

The space is very seductive. The food is good not extraordinary. Attentive service. Itâs a good option for something more than casual at Borgata. The server spilled my drink upon service all over the counter and did not offer a replacement. The server should have been more educated regarding the menu. Seems she was only interested in what her options should have been . All and all the food was good , we were not there for the Monday special , itâs high end in pricing during normal operation.

I donât like writing bad reviews. I would love for every restaurant to be amazing. Unfortunately, this restaurant was lacking. My husband and I were in the mood for sushi. Weâd spent the week eating heavy and large meals in Atlantic City. We thought weâd have some sushi rolls. The restaurant was nicely decorated with cloth napkins & table clothes. When we walked in, we immediately smelled the fish. Itâs not a good sign if you are planning to eat sushi. The fish should be fresh and not smell like a fish market. We opted out of the sushi and decided on bento boxes, teriyaki salmon and tempura shrimp. The food in the bento was good. The California roll was not editable. The nori (seaweed wrap) was so tough I couldnât eat it. My husband kept trying and had about 4 pieces. In the end, he had stomach discomfort for the next 3 days. I would love to recommend this restaurant, but I canât.

Was really looking forward to their hot pot but it was nowhere to be found on the menu. Settled for something else with egg rolls to start. Unlike take out, I wasn't expecting all the food to arrive at the same time; like take out, it did. Maybe it's best to go with a bunch of people, order several dishes, and share plates.Service was fine but overall I was disappointed.Hi Diane, we are very sorry to hear that. Did you ask your server about the hot pot menu? It is available! Please feel free to direct message us on our facebook page. We would like to look into this further for you and have one of our manager reach out. We do hope you will give Lillie's another chance. Thank you for making us aware. -GN

Where do I begin? This place surpassed my expectations. Our server Tracy was perfect. She guided us through the menu and gave great suggestions. We ordered 5 small plates, 2 maki rolls, dessert and cocktails. All I can say is FLAVOR TOWN!!! Presentation of food A+; Flavors were outstanding and the concept makes for a fun night of trying new things and experiencing different flavors. They encourage you to order from each section of the menu to have a tasting of everything and so the meal progresses in a certain way. When dishes are done they just come right out so you never know what you're going to get first. We started with the CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS and let me just say, I'll never look at Brussels the same way....they were crispy, sweet, savory, salty and everything in between. DELICIOUS!Next were the WAGYU BEEF TACOS. My only complaint is that they are so tiny and leave you wanting more. The portion is 2 mini tacos and trust me you'll want more because the flavors explode in your mouth. WOW!Following the tacos were the SHRIMP TEMPURA with Garlic Aioli. Crispy, tender shrimp with a decadent creamy aioli and flavors of key lime. YUM!The last 2 small plates were CORN âMEKISHIKOâ and BEEF NEGIMA from the Robata Charcoal Grill section of the menu. These two items were quite possibly our favorites. The corn is little baby corn like you've never had before. It was the most interesting complex combination of flavors including freshly grated parmesan and delicious aioli. It's like the Japanese version of Mexican Street Corn or Elote. INSANE! Then came the Beef Negima which was the most tender yakitori literally bursting with flavor. It was unreal!We finished dinner with 2 maki rolls...spicy tuna and salmon avocado. We are sushi snobs so although this was very good and fresh tasting, my husband and I agreed we'd had better and would skip the sushi next time. In comparison to the small plates, the sushi just didn't stand out. They do however serve housemade Soy Sauce which I thought was super cool and different. As full as we were, we had to try the donuts for dessert and boy are we glad we did. Light and Airy Cinnamon Sugar Japanese Donuts served with Chocolate, PB and Green Tea Sauces for dipping. Absolutely divine!This was our very last dinner of our trip and we left this meal uber satisfied and in awe that a Japanese restaurant would steal the spot as our new # 1. Can't wait to return!! Already requested we go back for my Birthday in September. I'm dying to try the Short Rib as I've heard its so tender you can eat it with chopsticks!!!Dear tdcohnmasi77: Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience from your recent visit to Kuro inside Hard Rock Atlantic City.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere if the restaurant, with its impressive decor. Our server was very professional, friendly and efficient. He explained everything for us, so we were able to order with confidence. The calamari salad was very good, a mix of sweet dressing, bitter greens and crunchy squid. The five spice duck was perfect. The one item that I would recommend giving a pass on is the pitcher of zen-gria. It is $47 for a pitcher of mostly ice. It was hard to know if the drink actually tasted good or not, since the ice watered it down so much. Other than the sangria (again, I stress, donât order it), it was a flavorful, satisfying meal.
