In the next couple of weeks, Kura will begin serving sushi and sashimi at a 10-seat counter in the former home of Mohamed Falfel Star, at 130 St. Marks Place.
Huey Cheng, who is involved in the project, told The Local that Kura (meaning a place to store valuables) will be open daily for lunch and dinner.
An early sample menu submitted to Community Board 3 included items such as tuna with grated mountain yam, clams cooked in a sake broth, grilled duck, fried oysters, and various assorted vegetable dishes.
