Creative sushi-by-the-piece with generous portions and fast, friendly counter service; standout bowls and inari, though some find rolls overcomplicated and value uneven for nigiri.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
All Buru delivers strong food quality with generous, fresh fish and creative execution that earns consistent repeat visits. Friendly, efficient service and quick pickup make it a reliable neighborhood choice. However, occasional inconsistencies in rice and miso quality, a pleasant but modest setting, and moderate review authenticity concerns prevent a higher grade—this is solid casual sushi, not destination-level dining.
Restaurant Summary
All Buru brings a fun, counter-service sushi concept to Fort Greene with generous, fresh pieces and mix-and-match boxes that include miso. Guests praise the easy pickup and friendly team: "Fast, kind, and everything looked spotless." The culinary approach leans creative and playful rather than purist. Expect rice-paper wraps, truffle touches, and big, layered "bites" alongside solid nigiri and standout bowls. It suits diners who enjoy bold toppings and variety, though a few wish for simpler, classic rolls and more restraint. Families fare well here: the casual setup, quick service, and familiar items like salmon sets and inari work for kids. Boxes include miso, mini bowls are affordable, and there are some gluten-free options. If your crew prefers very simple sushi, consider the bowls or basic nigiri first.
