    What a yummy find while in Reno craving sushi. My fellow yelpers did not disappoint. Opted for AYCE. The portions were good everything tasted fresh. Servers were helpful explaining the menu. It had a very nice ambiance.

    We went to Kuma Sushi for lunch and I'm glad we did because I already can't wait to go back! The servers were nice and quick and the ambiance inside was chill but upbeat and it was fairly busy during lunch but we did get seated right away. We did all you can eat and our favorite other than the nigiri were the shooting star roll and spicy challenge roll. The beef teriyaki was also really good and tender! Everything we ordered from the sushi to the appetizers was really fresh. We came for the sushi but we were really impressed with how tender, fresh and flavorful the beef teriyaki tasted. We will definitely be back here again! This may be our new favorite sushi spot in Reno.

    Out of all the sushi I've tried, this one stands out as the highest quality compared to other places. You can notice the quality in every detail even the presentation. The service was 10/10. We sat at the bar, and it was really enjoyable chatting with the staff there. The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but that's because it's always busy. One thing to keep in mind the wait can be long. However, if you don't mind sitting at the bar and there's space available, take it! Instead of waiting 45 minutes, you might get seated right away. Without a doubt, this has become one of my favorite spots for sushi. Thank you!

    The sushi was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. I also love coming here for the appetizers, they have some of the best appetizers in town for a sushi restaurant. Super cute and aesthetic inside. The only thing that disappoints me is that after the first round of orders, the rice on the sushi seems to get thicker and thicker, even when we don't order very much at the beginning.

    When we arrived at 7pm during dinner rush, we were promptly seated. We made reservations ahead of time. Party of 7 people. The place is packed, and the place is small. The sushi is okay, some were delicious. I lost track of what I ate. I enjoyed their miso soup and their udon noodles soup. I like their soft shell crab . It could use a little bit of salt.

    Kuma Sushi is an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. They offer a large variety of items on their menu. We enjoyed most of the rolls we ordered and I felt there was a good balance between the amount of fish to rice ratio. I also didn't feel the sauces were excessive which I really appreciated. Service was attentive where they kept our water/soda glasses filled and our empty plates were removed from our table. It's a smallish restaurant, quaint and cozy. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and dine there again.

    Another successful trip to Kuma. This is becoming one of my favorite sushi spots to frequent. Their rolls are unique and have a twist to your normal sushi restaurant. Their fish is always so fresh and delicious. My favorite things to order are the Kuma, Larvae, and Volcano (baked). Their mussels are also super good. We came in on Sunday around 1pm. It was definitely busy but we were able to put our names on the list for 3 people. We were seated within about 15-20 minutes. We sat at a table and our food came out in a normal amount of time.

    The kuma roll was our favorite but everything we ordered was delicious. We drove 45 minutes into Reno because Kuma is so much better than every option in the area.

    Had a really great experience at Kuma Sushi. The fish was noticeably fresh, and the menu has a fun mix of creative rolls along with plenty of cooked options. The owners were friendly and helpful, and we had a great time. One standout was a very spicy roll topped with fresh jalapeño. I can't remember the exact name, but it delivered real heat and definitely lived up to the spice level. It was bold, intense, and still flavorful. Another honorable mention were the salmon bombs, which were delicious and a great balance of rich and savory. What I really appreciated was that there were solid options for everyone. My mom isn't a big sushi person, but she genuinely enjoyed the cooked rolls, which says a lot. Everything we ordered felt fresh and well balanced, and the rolls weren't overloaded with rice. If you're looking for fresh fish, creative rolls, genuinely spicy options, and cooked rolls that even non-sushi lovers will enjoy, Kuma Sushi is a great choice.

    Consistency is the reason this place is so good! Quality fish and products. They roll their large selection of both cooked and raw tight and use just the right amount of rice. If you are wanting the heat from peppers they have spicy rolls! Baked mussels always have that little char on them. With AYCE you get a choose of carpaccio as well. Yellowtail and salmon pair really good with their vinegar. All their fried shrimp have a good tempura breading on them. So do the scallops. Save a little room for the dessert.

    Amanda M.

    For the all you can eat, having the ability to get one speciality like the carpaccio is definitely generous as you do not see that many places. The speciality nigiri like the Donald Duck are very yummy with a good rice to fish ratio. There are some rolls that you can pick without rice. Overall, the rolls were not as interesting to me as getting their nigiri due to be heavier on the cooked roll side. I will go back sometime to give more rolls a try though. My daughter and I have sat at the bar where the service was fast and everyone friendly.

    We went to Kuma Sushi for lunch; when we arrived at the restaurant, they had a huge party already eating in the main dining room plus a 6-person party waiting for a table, so it was about 20-30 minute wait. We were offered an opportunity to sit at the bar but our 3-person party decided we wanted to sit at a table; so, we waited. Eventually, we were seated at a table in a corner of the smaller dining room just behind the hostess' station and because it was Memorial Day Holiday, the restaurant had dinner pricing which came out about $140 for three people including tip. We ordered a bunch of appetizers because Kuma had great appetizers: fried calamari sticks and fried gyozas, grilled mussels, popcorn scallops and agedashi tofu. After the appetizers arrived, we placed and order for a few long rolls (a Philly Crunch, a Shooting Star, a Mountain and a Dragon minus the avocado; plus a salmon skin handroll and fried yellow tail collar- only available on the dinner menu), and some nigiri (unagis, sabas, peppered Mickeys, Donalds and a couple of upside down scallops). All the food were great, especially the appetizers. My only critique was the nigiri had a really thick amount of rice and the upside-down scallops were too spicy for my liking. Other than that the service was attentive and friendly enough; the food portions were generous, we almost didn't finish it all; plus, I had just enough space left to order an affocado for dessert. Overall, minus the long wait-time, out dining experience was still pretty positive.

    Valarie P.

    Fast service (we sat at the bar) Fresh food, lots of choices I haven't seen most places. Lobster offered on multiple dishes. Great for kids! Chciken nuggets and French fries are each an appetizer! The affocado dessert is really good! I'm a coffee lover so it hit the spot. We are leaving happy and full!

I got passed by 7 different times before a waiter told me to put the ticket in the holder for someone to come get it. The server was going to put it in the holder and walk away without it until I mentioned I'd already been passed by several times, then he took it with a huff. In 2018 I gave this place a 5 star so I wanted to try it again with my mother and my son. A little disappointed. I'm willing to give it another chance but not anytime soon. I need the distaste of bad service to get out of my mouth before I return.

    I have been to many AYCE sushi restaurants here in the Reno area. I never understood how the fish…read morecan be so fresh out here in the high desert. But, it is! The service was very good. We were seated quickly. Now that can be attributed to the fact that we were early for dinner. We opted for a tabled, but there were plenty of seats available at the sushi bar. We only waited for a few minutes before the first wave of fish was delivered. Throughout dinner, we never had to wait long for the sushi to be delivered. The atmosphere was decent. It felt like it was more of a storefront than a traditional restaurant. But, it was a storefront and I don't care about that. I base my rating on freshness, service and cleanliness of the store. One thing that surprised me was the Kani (crab). I ordered it wondering if it would be real crab or imitation. It was real! I was happy and surprised. I ate my fill. Actually, I ate more than my fill. Enjoyed it completely. My sushi coma was justified. Freshness: 10 Service (dining time 3:30pm) : 10 Friendly: 9 (Anymore would be just awkward) Cleanliness: 10 Parking: 10 Bottom Line ------------------ Would I recommend O' A Sushi to friends and family? Yes. Would I go back there again? Yes.

    Tried about 8 AYCE Sushi places in Reno and I like this place, Ohana, and Tokyo Sushi (probably…read morethe most popular) the best. Appetizers, nigiri, and rolls here are usually a smidge behind Tokyo in variety, taste, and fish to rice ratio on the nigiri, but still very good -- definitely above average. They did dial back the amount of sugar in their rice since the last time I was here. Kudos! The dining experience here is a much more low-stress experience than Tokyo Sushi. There's usually little to no wait unless you're in a large group, as opposed to Tokyo's madhouse that has waits frequently of an hour. Music isn't blasting so you can hear the person at the other side of the table speak, and service is consistently excellent in the relatively small dining room. It's about $4 less expensive with tax and tip then Tokyo also at $42 vs $46 total as of July 2026. Punch card for every 11th AYCE free plus free beer Mondays, free sake Tue-Thur. 4.4/5 Easily in the top 4 AYCE in Reno

    Complete joke for the price…read more I frequent sushi spots all over and stopped in here because of a work trip, and honestly it was a massive disappointment. I ordered two rolls, the negi toro roll and the fire ocean roll. I literally have pictures of both because the rice to fish ratio is a complete joke for what they are charging you. It was basically a giant mountain of rice with a tiny sliver of fish hidden inside. The food could have been salvageable but the service was also bad. I was given two sushi rolls with no soy sauce plate, no chopsticks and no napkins. I had to sit there staring at my food while it sat warm on the table. I also ordered edamame and it's a miracle that you can dry something out by steaming it. It was completely shriveled and uneditable. To top it all off, none of the hosts or waitresses paid attention to me for an extended period of time so I talked to the sushi chefs that spoke no english to help me. 5 stars to them because they actually tried to help me out when the rest of the staff ignored me, but unfortunately it doesn't really help the restaurant. Save your money and go somewhere else.
