My favorite sushi place in Reno, delicious and unique. Tends to be pretty packed so sometimes you have to wait. Good ambiance and service too read more

This is my fave AYCE sushi places in Reno. I know there are a lot of AYCE sushi here, but this one stands out because of the fresh fish and the rice to fish ratio. I hate it when they give you a ton of rice and a small piece of fish.... Not so here!! My faves are the seared saba, Donald, unagi, hamachi, and the sashimi salad. Sooo. Good!!!! read more

Fresh Ceveche at the sushi place is the best. Its not on the menu but Saul can rock it. Jin is super nice. I appreciate her beauty. read more

The sushi here was great! I especially liked how each roll didn't have a lot of rice. Some places have too much rice but they have the perfect amount for each roll. The fish was very fresh. The appetizers were delicious. And so were the dessert options. The staff were super kind and all helpful. When any of them would walk by, they were so kind to ask if we needed anything. The rolls came out quick and loved how they had a tally sheet for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round of rolls. You can keep track of what you ordered already. The restaurant was neatly decorated and felt very spacious. After going there for the first time, I realized Kuma means Bear, which made more sense on the forest and Bear decorations. If you've never been to Luma Sushi, I highly recommend making a trip to amazing restaurant! read more

This is hands down my favorite sushi spot. I've been coming here since it was one of those quiet gems people hadn't caught onto yet, and now it's always buzzing for a reason. The sushi is consistently fresh, the menu has great variety, and everything just hits every time. I love seeing a place grow because the quality stays the same while the energy gets better. If you're looking for a go-to sushi spot you can keep coming back to, this one deserves a spot on your list. read more

All you can eat sushi at a decent price. Came on a Friday afternoon and the place wasn't too busy. The restaurant is modern and filled with bear decor. Sushi is fresh and not stuffed with too much rice. I really enjoyed the creamy mussels and the gyoza. I don't typically eat the wasabi and ginger at sushi places but the ones here are pretty tasty and sweet in flavor. Service is good but the waitresses could smile and be a bit more friendly. Not sure if it's just their resting face but I got off putting vibes from some of them. The only other negative would be that the spoon for the ice cream is tiny and the ice cream is very hard to scoop out. Overall a good sushi place and I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

We were celebrating a birthday and went to Kuma because it's my daughter's favorite sushi restaurant. Food: We did the all you can eat for $36 per person. The quality was good as expected. The water on the other hand had a really nasty taste making it un-drinkable. Simply nasty Service started off great. However after our initial order was delivered the staff stayed far away and a result we didn't order a second round. It kind of sucked considering we paid for all you can eat. There are plenty of weight staff. It just seemed to be part of their plan. We also had to practically beg for the bill, considering they were trying to stay away. Ambiance: Decent and typical for a sushi restaurant. I will not take my daughter for another birthday dinner to this restaurant. The service simply sucked!!! read more

Amazing! Sadly, if Vegas didn't exist, this would be higher rated. This restaurant is like the little engine that could compared to vegas sushi restaurants. While it may be top tier in Reno, it would get lost in the sauce in Vegas. read more

Kuma! Congrats on being named one the Top 25 Places to eat in Reno Tahoe. Seeing you on the list reminded me to come back for another visit and I'm glad I did! Kuma does things differently and it's appreciated. The menu has interesting items, many of which are exclusive too. I personally love the selection of "carpaccio" aka sashimi, which is very generous. They offer 4 or 5 types and I enjoy all of them. The appetizers are similar, with hits like popcorn scallop, soft shell crab, and sashimi salad. They eventually have specialty sushi items like the salmon rose! Don't worry. Dessert is more of the same. I saw the affogato on there and had to try it. This was the perfect way to end a meal here. The coffee ice cream was rich and flavorful and the sweet cream kicked it over the edge! I want them to blend it up as a shake! I can totally see why they landed on this list of epic local eats. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I used to go to sushi Pier for my Ayce but Kuma will now be my new go-to! They have so many non-rice offerings and the rice on their rolls+nigiris are not too much either. Their kamas however is not like the regular hamachi kama and doesn't come with ponzu sauce but you can ask for it. Next time I'll remember to ask to skip green onions and onions for carpaccio next time. The mochi ice cream is pretty good but strawberry is better than the vanilla. I ask for green tea ice cream on my banana tempura but can't really taste the matcha. FYI green tea is not free and kids price is now lowered to 10 instead of 12. Also you can call to be put on waiting list first! read more

Okay sushi. Not very flavorful, the fish wasn't very fresh. Not that we would never come here again, but wish the rolls were better. Sushi rice - bland Sauces - ehhh Fish - okayish Good service but a really long wait time which is a downside as well. read more

Kuma Sushi had been on our radar for some time, and winter break with the kids was the perfect opportunity to try them! We chose a weekday and shouldered our visit between lunch and dinner hoping to catch a slower time. We made it, sort of. The dining room was actually pretty full at 3pm! We chose the bar for the 4k view of the fish & chefs. The menu is extensive, and though there is always some overlapping selections, there were also several here that were unique to Kuma. A tween, a teen and 2 adults and we came HUNGRY! We sampled a ton of rolls and covered a good bit of their nigiri menu, plus appetizers, and we really enjoyed it. We've always said the cornerstones of the sushi menu (in our humble opinions!) are hamachi & tako. Get those right, and almost anything else you try should be easy breezy. Both were good! The tako was briny and snappy, and the hamachi tasted fresh and buttery, as they should be. The only really off-putting choice we tried was unagi! Bummer, since its one of our faves. Tasted and smelled like cat food with a fatty congealed texture. Maybe an off day? Service was the -1 star here. Chefs seemed irritated at us, and *seemed* to snicker and talk to each other about us at every order. Staff was busy with the tables and allowed stacks of plates to accumulate which makes sitting at the bar feel cramped and dirty. Overall, it was a good visit, and the kids price for 14 and under was a nice surprise. Tasty sushi, fair price and OK service is my summary, but we'd definitely try Kuma again. read more

Really solid AYCE sushi spot! Prices were reasonable and ordering is fairly easy as you just fill out the sheet and there are 3 rounds. There are some limited items that's 1 order per person. Some of the staff are friendlier than others but either way service is fast and attentive. Dishes come out fairly quick. Quality was fairly fresh and flavors were good. Ordered some carpaccios (limited), nigiris which were good size though I'd prefer a tad less rice, and rolls were tasty but it would be even better if they had half portions for rolls so we can try more variety. read more

My family and I love coming here! The salads are good, rolls are tasty and the dessert is divine. We legit drive from the complete other side of town, passing many sushi restaurants, to come here. The service is QUICK! The food comes out so fast to turning in your ticket and I really love how they give you the same ticket back for a 2nd and 3rd time after ordering so you can keep up with previous stuff that you ordered. Personally, I really enjoy the raw carpaccio that they offer and they just really think outside of the box compared to other places in town. Cozy and cute decor but they have TVs so you don't miss a sports game. Be back soon! read more

My peeps that read the review, I apologize in advance for forgetting the names of the rolls! Lol they all were delish though! In Reno visiting and I hadn't seen my friend in a long time so we were there for a couple of hours. This was some great sushi for an exceptional price! We went in for lunch and it's a cute and clean spot. The staff were awesome. Very friendly and gave great suggestions on rolls! Looking forward to visiting again when I'm in the area!!! read more

I came by on a Monday around 2:30pm for the lunch AYCE for $27.99. Service was quick and attentive. I basically ordered everything that was a limit of 1 order per person lol. They were out of both kinds of kama (salmon and yellowtail collar). Standouts were the fried soft shell crab, sashimi salad, poke nachos, and baked mussels. Carpaccio was unique; I loved the addition of chopped lemon and jalapeno. I am an acid fiend, so I also appreciated how the salmon nigiri came with thin slices of lemon. I liked the seafood for all the nigiri I got (unagi, scallop, salmon, creamy salmon), but I thought the rice was a bit mushy for my preference? I am used to it being a bit drier with a chew to it. It was kind of tragic because the fish here is fresh and flavorful, but the mushy rice took away from the experience. I definitely want to come back and try more things; the table next to me was raving about the white ono, so that's on my list for next time. Hopefully the rice was just off during my visit or something, but overall, this restaurant offers enough rice-less options that it isn't the end of the world. read more

1st time here and liking the variety of sushi, slightly different from the usual in other sushi places. Parking was plentiful. Server was nice and helpful. Restrooms were stocked and clean, felt almost spa-like feel. Back to food...the fishes were fresh and the unagi was amazingly wonderful :) they had lobster as well! The creamy lobster one was really good! They also had a tuna and salmon version of a no-rice sushi, which was good, though could have been better if there was less sauce in the middle because it was a little overpowering on the tuna/salmon -- but still a great idea! They also had affogato for dessert! read more

I've heard great things about Kuma and finally went in for a visit. So glad I did! Kuma has a great selection of fresh sushi. I was very impressed by their broad menu and I found that they offer things a little different than your standard sushi restaurant. I loved the soft shell crab, for example. Most of the menu is part of their All You Can Eat, too. The service was great and we enjoyed our visit. Kuma definitely ranks on my list for best sushi in Reno. read more

For those that do not enjoy seaweed, Kuma will roll with soy paper. Yay! The folks I lunched with ordered six different rolls and enjoyed them all - bright, fresh, and beautifully plated. If you are not a fan of eating things from bodies of water, your roll options are limited - one vegetable roll, inari. There are several, not plentiful, options on the menu for the not fans of sushi. Cards accepted, parking is moderately plentiful. During the height of lunch you may want to plan extra time. read more

The sushi was okay/ good but compared to other sushi spots locally kuma is below standard but we weren't upset. THE SERVICE: the short older woman was extremely rude and ignored me multiple times, drinks were never filled, and we were pushed to leave early in a non professional way and then, then another different older woman stopped us on our way out and was very disrespectful. the younger guys working there were very professional and friendly but it was sad to see the other older staff treated their customers so rudely. pro: it wasn't very busy In there so we were seated quickly but not surprising it was empty considering the unprofessional service. read more

If you've been looking for a quality AYCE sushi spot in Reno, definitely ROLL on to Kuma Sushi! I tend to be a bit suspicious of AYCE sushi spots, especially in a landlocked city like Reno, but I was pleasantly surprised at how high quality the seafood was here! Every piece of nigiri we ordered was extremely fresh and cut well, with a minimal and well-balanced amount of rice. There were some surprising standouts such as the hotate (scallop), soft shell crab, unagi, and salmon carpaccio, and this is definitely a spot I would recommend especially for their $30 AYCE price, which includes 1 round of appetizers, up to 3 rounds of sushi/sashimi, and dessert. Service was also efficient and friendly, and the dishes all come out very quickly after you order. Featured here: Salmon carpaccio Yellowtail carpaccio Hotate Tuna Salmon Upside down scallop Upside down crab Yellowtail Saba (mackerel) Unagi Red dragon roll Udon Vegetable/shrimp tempura Sashimi salad Ikura Masago read more

A bit of an old review - catching up from 2024! We checked out Kuma as it had recently opened and we heard great things about the location! The wait was quite long - waited in the car for about 40min. Staff was very friendly! We liked the variety of sushi and apps available. The nigiri was small with a good rice to fish ratio! Unfortunately, the main reason I wouldn't choose to come back to this location is that I felt the rice was very overseasoned and the nigiri was often served with sauce on top which made everything so sweet. It really took away from the flavor of the fish. I wouldn't recommend this location unless you have a sweet tooth. read more

8/31/25 So this was the first time here. Had saved in my Sushi Folder to try and oh boy so glad I did. Was busy for a sat night but we got sat within 25min or so for 3 of us . The service was excellent and efficient. As soon as a plate was done they swooped in and took away . We did AYCE of course . Started with some Baked muscles delish and Jalapeño Poppers (no pic) I forgot oops . The place was still very busy but man they came out with the rolls so fast after we put order in. We got Dragon ,Caterpillar, Kuma , Golden Tiger , Spicy Challenge, Baked Volcano & couple others I forgot names and pics lame. Either way everything was fresh and delicious and fast . Ambiance is very nice kind of smaller place but it was very good . Definitely will go back and try some more rolls . Great selection Enjoy !!!! read more

Kuma Sushi is our Favorite sushi spot in town and has been so for multiple years since they opened. We have tried a number of others in town (we are locals) and this place is the Best. The fish is very fresh and you will notice this when eating Nigiri (or Sashimi) because there's not much else besides a Small amount of rice with the fish. Pure Sushi !! Here are some reasons why this place deserves 5 stars: - Very fresh fish. - Excellent fish to rice ratio (very small amount of rice in Nigiri), this is how High-end sushi places make Nigiri - Excellent variety of Nigiri selections - Good quality of Rice and flavor - Nice selection of Appetizers and salads to choose from - Large selection of raw and cooked rolls, and etc (something I normally don't get) - Tried the Baked Lobster (pleasantly Good) - Selections of Specialties (Carpaccio, etc) - Nice Dessert selections (try the Affocado... Delicious !!) And a Variety of dishes for those who are Not into raw fish (like my wife)... like Tempura, Chicken/Beef Teriyaki, Bulgogi Beef (that's unusual in a Sushi place), Soups and Noodle dishes/bowls, salads, etc. They have excellent service, keep our water filled, the manager comes around regularly and asks how things are, Overall, this place should be one to check out... with Great food, good service, and reasonable prices ... you Will be Sold to return time and again !! read more

The parking lot can be crowded, but cars are always coming and going. I was craving poke and was close by. The bowl was decent sized, but I'm not sure it was worth 25 dollars. It was very saucy, so the fish wasn't the star of the bowl. It was okay but maybe not to my preference. The California roll was good. Straight forward and as expected. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had ayce. There was a good size crowd during lunchtime on a weekday Bathrooms were clean. Staff were nice. I'll have to come back to try other items. read more

One of the better AYCE sushi menus in Reno. A lot of items you can't get in other places. Pleasant atmosphere. I'd say too pricey for Al La Carte.

Kuma Sushi - Seaweed salad and potstickers...yum! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The two star rating is strictly for their employee BRUNO only !! , he was literally a saving grace . I know Reno Isn't the most diverse place but the service received in this establishment was absolutely unacceptable !! . We were seated on the back booth near the window , essentially tucked away in a corner , and briefly told about the all you can eat menu . Bruno was excellent with his recommendations. The service was chaotic and there was a bit of confusion about who was my server since multiple people continued to come to my table at random , I should have been thankful , because at a certain point nobody came at all !, there were people who came in after me , who were served before me . It got to a point where the girl who was originally my server completely stopped acknowledging my table , she would come by , service the tables around me , and walk away, I had to literally get up and ask for a server !, I sat there for 15 mins and watched multiple servers cater to the tables around me but never acknowledged my table ! it also didn't help that many of the workers unfortunately don't speak English the Chefs included . My friend was given a bunch of recommendations from Bruno , which he went ahead and ordered , we also got tempura veggies , the soft shell crab ,& I ordered the baked spicy salmon roll , and popcorn scallops, I was not very happy with anything I ordered, all of the food was bland with no flavor, and all of the fried items were coated in a thick breading that tasted like old grease . The popcorn scallops absolutely made me upset , because they were drowning in two different types of sauces that aren't mentioned on the menu , they tasted like rubbery ,fried balls of grease I immediately sent them back , like the sauce should have been on the side unless requested on the item by the customer , the sushi roll was okay , but it was nothing to write home about, I only ate 3 pieces because by then I was ready to get away for this establishment, my appetite was long gone due to how long I sat and waited , the restaurant was busy but when I first arrived it was fairly empty , my table received an order of popcorn shrimp that I never ordered , which as well was drowning in those sauces, those were sent back as well because I didn't order them , one of the servers attempted to tell me I did , which I assertively reminded them that no I didn't I ordered the scallops ! , overall the fish on the sushi was fresh , that's the only plus , but there is nothing positive about this place for a first time experience, the service was chaotic because it seems like no one is assigned a section or table that they work, so things were all over the place , the establishment would make for a nice dinner date , but I suggest maybe looking elsewhere before settling for this place , I was absolutely disgusted to essentially be blatantly ignored , my friend and I were the only black patrons in this establishment, so it was hard not to feel like the piss poor service we received wasn't charged by that little tid bit, there was a woman who I'm assuming is the owner who came by as we were leaving , she was polite but it was a little to late . read more

This is the freshest sushi I've had in Reno so far. The service was attentive, even during a rush, and the ambience was perfect for celebrating a friend's birthday.
