🍣 Just checked out San Anselmo’s newest Japanese spot, Kuro Nami — same owners as Baan Thai Cuisine, so you know it’s good! My faves? The Kani Miso for DIY handrolls, Scallops Handroll, and Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice.
Here’s everything we tried:
✨ Kani Miso with crab miso, golden disorde, obiko, scallion – $32
✨ Spicy Baby Scallops on crispy rice, tobiko, scallion – $20
✨ Spicy Baby Scallops, tobiko, scallion – $9
✨ Maguro Roll with tuna, avocado, cucumber – $8
✨ Hiro’s Roll with spicy tuna, avocado, salmon, ponzu – $22
Hand-crafted cocktails like the Kuro Nami and Kan Peki added the perfect touch!

Sushi for two? 🍣🍱✨
📍 @kuronamimarin is a hidden gem you’re going to want to add to your list. Gently tucked into the streets of San Anselmo, the outside is quite assuming and almost hidden alongside its sister restaurant @thebaanthaicuisine
Once inside, you are greeted with a sleek atmosphere & warm welcomes.
🪑🌊 Kuro Nami translates to Black Wave, which is reflected in the sleek design and minimalist decor.
You have many seating options, including the bar, indoor or patio.
💡Voted “Best New Restaurant in Marin County” in 2025 by the @marin_ij , the love for this culinary experience hasn’t slowed.
🍽️ Order:
If you are a true sushi lover, you cannot go wrong & we love asking for reccomendations from the team!
But some of our recent favorites have been
🧅Kuro Nami Crudo
🍄🟫Mushroom Truffle Hand Roll
😘Wink Roll
🅿️ Parking:
There is metered street parking along the main San Anselmo strip, limited neighborhood parking and a small parking lot located just behind the restaurant itself.
💰Pricing:
In our opinion, you should expect to pay a premium for fresh fish - in fact you want to.
And for how fresh the fish here is?
The pricing is incredibly reasonable.
Expect around $100-$150 for a date night depending on how many rolls you’re willing to share. 😉
⭐️(NEW) TCM Rating:
5/5 - we had such a wonderful time experiencing the food alongside the team. Everyone from the management team, to the hostess to our servers were so kind and excited to share the experience with us and showcase their favorite dishes.
Every dish was fresh and played with care.

🍣 Dinner at @kuronamimarin in San Anselmo was delicious! Loved the special courses, especially the crispy rice with spicy salmon and hikari hotate carpaccio. Thank you Kuro Nami for a wonderful meal and @mimitowle for the great company! #DestroyEats

Hamachi Kama — the collar cut, prized for its rich flavor and natural tenderness. Grilled simply to let the fat render, the edges crisp, and the center stay delicate.
A quiet favorite for those who know.
Tested at Kuro Nami. Reserve ahead — limited and often sold out.

Hikari Hotate Carpaccio
Delicately sliced Hokkaido scallop, layered with a bright honey yuzu miso citrus emulsion and finished with olive oil and lemon zest.
An expression of balance, purity, and craft.

@kuronamimarin is fantastic and has been such a great addition to the Marin Co. food scene!
The lunch menu has always been one of my go to’s and I really love the more recent addition of the Bento’s because of all the available combinations. In terms of rolls, my absolute favorite is the Takeshi Roll - shrimp tempura, spicy scallop, avocado, cucumber topped with tuna, shiso leaves, unagi sauce, spicy mayo, furikake. It’s truly the best and easily in my top favorite 3 rolls of all time.
Other go to items are the crispy rice sushi bites, takoyaki, and Aburi sake
