Kurama was the only Japanese restaurant in the area I could find that would let me make a reservation on a Saturday night for a large group. The wait staff was efficient and generally friendly, though we had a little trouble communicating about how we wanted to split up the check. The service was quick and there was A LOT of food, all of which was prepared right in front of us at these gigantic grills right on the table. It was fun to watch, though some of us got very hot sitting right next to the grill all through the meal. I had the grilled shrimp. It was salty, as was the miso soup - I've actually never had such salty miso soup in my life - and the salad dressing. Kurama was good for a big group, but I'm not sure I'd go back again for the food.
Pros: accommodating a lot of people, prompt service
Cons: salty food
