Local tips
- Time your visit for the ad libitum lunch if you want to sample many different rolls and side dishes at a fixed, good-value price.
- If you prefer quieter dining, aim for early lunch or mid-afternoon; evenings and weekends can feel livelier and busier.
- Ask about vegetarian and non‑fish options; many rolls can be made with vegetables or cooked seafood instead of raw fish.
- For takeaway, call or order ahead to minimize waiting time during peak dinner hours, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Combine a meal here with a walk through Køge’s old town and harbor area, both an easy stroll from Vestergade.

Discover more about Kuruki Sushi
Japanese flavors in the heart of old Køge
Kuruki Sushi sits on Vestergade, one of Køge’s central streets, where traditional Danish facades frame a quietly modern sushi bar. Step through the door and the mood shifts from cobbled-square quaintness to a clean, contemporary space built around pale woods, dark accents and the soft gleam of the sushi counter. The restaurant feels relaxed and informal, with the clatter of chopsticks, low conversation and the gentle rhythm of knives at work behind the bar. The focus here is firmly on the Japanese kitchen: neatly sliced fish, warm vinegared rice and balanced sauces, presented with a Scandinavian eye for order and simplicity. It is a place that works as well for a quick weekday lunch as for a lingering evening meal after exploring Køge’s half-timbered streets and harbor.From classic nigiri to playful house rolls
Kuruki’s menu ranges from simple salmon or tuna nigiri to colorful uramaki rolls packed with tempura prawns, avocado and fresh vegetables. Platters combine different cuts of fish and vegetarian bites so that everyone at the table can graze and share. Soy, wasabi and ginger are generously supplied, inviting you to fine-tune each bite. Alongside the à la carte options, Kuruki offers ad libitum menus at set prices for lunch and dinner, allowing you to sample widely across the selection. Lightly battered tempura, crispy gyoza and small hot side dishes round out the predominantly cold plates, making it possible to build a meal that moves from delicate to indulgent.Casual setting for everyday meals and small celebrations
The dining room is compact but thoughtfully arranged, with simple tables that can be pushed together for small groups and window seats that look out onto everyday life in Køge’s center. Couples drop in for an easy date night, while families settle children with shared sushi boards and familiar fried items. The atmosphere is unpretentious: you order, watch the sushi chefs work if you wish, and then settle back as trays arrive. Takeaway and delivery are important parts of Kuruki’s rhythm too, with neatly packed boxes leaving the counter for nearby homes, offices and hotels throughout the day.Køge charm meets contemporary Asia
Part of Kuruki’s appeal is the contrast between its modern Japanese concept and the old-town surroundings. Before or after eating, you can stroll the nearby square, look up at historic rooftops or walk towards the waterfront, making the restaurant a convenient anchor point in a broader day out. The staff bring a friendly, informal tone that matches the setting. English is widely spoken, and the menu format is straightforward to navigate even if you are new to sushi. Whether you are seeking a quick refuel during shopping or a relaxed evening with friends, Kuruki fits easily into a Køge itinerary.Practical details for planning your visit
Kuruki Sushi keeps consistent hours, opening daily around midday and staying open into the evening, which makes it an easy option to slot around sightseeing or work. Ad libitum lunch typically runs in the early part of the afternoon and finishes by mid-afternoon, while dinner service continues until night. Prices sit in the moderate range by Danish standards, especially if you take advantage of set menus or share larger platters. The location on Vestergade makes it accessible on foot from most of central Køge, and mobile reception is generally strong, so you can coordinate meetups or place takeaway orders without difficulty.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
