OMG. This place is a hidden gem, seriously. I found it online and never imagined it was so close to me. PARKING, it has private parking. Huge plus if you are an LA native lol A lot of people came and went while we were there, it seems like they also have a lot of regulars. All the employees were super nice and helpful. Prices are great especially for the quality of food that you are getting. The place is clean and super cute. Dish presentation is a huge plus. I ordered the volcano roll which was delicious! The Thai iced tea was also on point and the little umbrellas were so cute. read more

Kumi Ko - 17. Golden California Roll - Japanese Near Me - Compton, California

I normally go to DTLA to eat my favorite sushi but today we drove to Compton for sushi. I live in Lynwood so the drive was already a plus for me. I was skeptical, as I always am with sushi but I am so happy that Kumi Ko proved me very wrong. The environment is welcoming and fitting of a Japanese restaurant. The customer service is on point and made me remember my visit and exposure to the beautiful Japanese culture. The food is delicious, high quality and fresh. The presentation is fabulous and makes you appreciate the food and the art behind sushi. The price, you can't beat it!! We ordered the Sushi/sashimi boat and it was more than enough for the two of us. I can't wait to bring my fam and friends to this hidden gem in Compton. read more

I regret not taking pictures. I'm in a rush and will update review later. Authentic and absolutely amazing. The owners are so nice and traditional, they take a lot of pride in their work. Check them out! Who knew this place had some of the best Sushi in the State. read more

I ordered the cucumber crab salad, it was so delicious. Highly recommend it! Everything I have tried there has been really good.

Great Japanese food. The quality of the sushi is incredible and top notch, especially for the area. All the rolls I have ordered (spicy tuna, popcorn lobster, crunch, and shrimp tempura) have been exceptionally delicious and fresh. As for the entrees, I particularly enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. The chicken is flavorful and perfectly cooked. Best part: they use the white meat of the chicken. Lastly, one of my favorites is the house salad. It's just oh so good. I often purchase a large portion of it (in addition to the side they offer with the entrees) because it's that delicious. read more

Don't judge this book by its cover! The area is sketchy, and there are some ladies hanging out around the corner if you leave past 8pm however....what a gem this place is!

Kumi Ko - Kumiko Bento - Japanese Near Me - Compton, California

This place is such a diamond in the rough! There are a handful of sushi places in the area but they're mostly fast-food type or specialize in bento or noodles. This place has such fresh sushi and feels like you're in Little Tokyo or DTLA instead of Compton! Lunch specials are a great deal and regular menu items are fairly priced. Has great raw sushi selection and also cooked Japanese items like bento and rice/noodle dishes. The server and chefs are super nice and friendly! Service was top notch. Tables and dishware were clean. Plenty of street parking if their small lot is full. I would definitely come back and highly recommend!! read more

Too expensive and food wasn't too tasteful. I had the $20 shrimp fried rice which was way too greasy and flavorless. Service was good but wait time was extremely excessive read more

Sushi in Compton?!?! YES!! The location looks kind of sketchy.. however, once inside.. you forget you are in Compton. It's really nice and cute. It's a small place though, but they are very friendly. Excellent service. Food is delicious. Price is reasonable. Please note: they don't sell alcohol!! HOWEVER...feel free to bring your own. Yup! They are ok with bringing your own alcohol. They are partnered with DoorDash, so you can get your sushi delivered at home. They have their own parking, but it's limited. Enter through Long Beach Blvd side. It's a one way parking. You can park on the street too. read more

Amazing secret gem in compton. Great people and great food. I'm not a sushi person but the non sushi food is great and my husband says it's some of the best sushi he's ever had. read more

BACKGROUND This was my fiancée and I's third time at this restaurant and the atmosphere, vibe, SUPREME customer service and variety of food options keep me coming back. This time around I decided to somewhat ball out! Wasnt being conservative today! SUSHI We decided to get the Kumiko Boat (assorted sushi, nigiri and sashimi) but I was stunned by the pure massiveness of the boat! It literally took two tables and EVERYONE stopped and stared as the hostess brought it to our table. Talk about show stopping and beautiful. Granted I've had better sashimi, but those restaurant like Sugar Fish are MUCH more expensive. This is good quality fish at an affordable price. TEA - Green tea with roasted popped brown rice (something along those lines) Very good tea to start the meal plus free refills so I had 3 cups in total. - Iced Thai tea, fiancée stated that it was good but wish it had less ice DESSERT Was recommended by the chef, he stated that I would appreciate the cold, soft sweetness of the ice cream (wasn't expecting green tea ice cream to be so scrumptious) and the warm crunch of the fried banana but I have to say, the contract of salty, sweet, warm, cold, soft and crunchy was wonderful! Definitely the way to end a wonderful night. read more

The quality and taste was just amazing.

The food and service is so amazing. Definitely going back. The ambience of the place gives a very Japanese vibe for sure.

Now I just want to think of my home. When I want Healthy food just go here and when I miss my warm mom. Actually, it is better than my mom 's cook. We have never made sushi before. Thank you. And the food here is amazing quality, the chef here and the boss are like five star hotel, and the food design sense is overflowing. If you go to a five star hotel, you will not get this food. Because this is only in Compton read more

Picked up some midweek takeout and it didn't disappoint. Food was ready faster than expected I was still on the way when they called to follow up. Fish was fresh the special rolls have combinations I haven't seen elsewhere and it was yummy!!! read more

The service was not very good. It took a few minutes before I was acknowledged. A simple, "I will be with you in a moment " would have sufficed. The fried rice was mushy and extra greasy. I practically could squeeze the oil out of the rice. Overall, the service and food were awful. I will not go there again! read more

Great food! I have got the salmon and rice omg the salad dressing has a very good flavor. I have gotten the California rolls and there good. I feel that it's a bit pricey but very good quality food. Every time I go it's very tempting to buy a macaroon ice cream man they look so good. I will definitely get one next time. read more

This place is delicious and the staff is super friendly! Decided to try this new place as there aren't any decent sushi places in Compton. The place is very clean and have great lunch specials. It's a small cute little place so I hope when I go back.. there not a long wait! I almost didn't want to review it as I want to remain a secret! I had the salmon teriyaki (on the side) Bento box, a fried chicken appetizer (forgot the name) and a crunch red fox roll. So good! read more

I'm workin near the area and I'm looking for a new place to have sushi! Though the business is fairly new, I figured I would check it out and I'm glad I did!! So I pull up and the area is pretty ghetto! (No offense to anyone who lives in the area) So the location is a bit odd for such a nice place, but thankfully they have their own parking lot. We were greeted at the door and sat down. I believe it is a family owned restaurant and the family takes pride in their restaurant. Everyone who worked there were extremely kind and such warm people. They gave us menus and brought our drinks. We ordered baked mussel (which I don't believe is on the menu), two lunch specials and a roll (which I wish I remember the name of). They brought us miso soup which was yummy, then the baked mussel (which I'm sooo happy that they brought it out before everything else because I find it weird when they bring out the baked mussel after the main dish). Then they brought out our lunch, allll service with a smile. They were always checking in on us, filling out drinks, and making sure anything we were done with was cleared. Also, the food tasted wonderful. It was so fulfilling and delicious! Like I said, the location is a bit odd, but this is seriously a great spot! Service is beyond top notch and the food is delicious. If you are anywhere near the area, check it out. You might want to be strapped due to the area, LOL, jk. I definitely recommend this spot! read more

This cute and quaint Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away within Compton. There is a diverse menu with a wide variety of Japanese cuisine to try out! I went with Combo A (an entree and a side of your choice) with salmon teriyaki as my entree and salmon roll as my side, monkey balls, and an additional spicy tuna roll. The salmon teriyaki was truly the winner here! Loved the sauce that was used for the salmon and the salad had such an interesting dressing that made it enjoyable. The monkey balls were really fresh and delicious but kinda pricey at $6.95 for those four half pieces. As for the sushi, kinda surprised at how much I felt indifferent about it. The salmon roll was good but felt like there was an off ratio between fish and rice (too much rice). As for the spicy tuna roll, this was a little disappointing for me because it didn't taste like a standard spicy tuna. The texture of the fish felt weird and I ended up not finishing it. But giving the benefit of the doubt on the sushi because I got basic rolls while other reviews have conplemented their more fancier rolls! Regardless, I had a pretty good experience here and I wouldn't mind coming back to explore the other options they have to offer on their menu. Oh and free miso soup with check-in! read more

I was thoroughly surprised with this restaurant. It is absolutely delicious, clean, quality and with amazing service. I live right down the street and this is what we need in the neighborhood. I disagree with the other reviews that this is a horrible area, it's not Beverly Hills but it's not bad and the home owners in the area have great pride about living here. What our neighborhood lacks are really good restaurants and this does the job. I ordered the chirashi bowl which was overloaded with very fresh sashimi, wow! My wife ordered the yakisoba noodles and they were out of sight. The meal was well priced and just hands down awesome, just look at my photo! I can't sing the praises of this place enough, I really hope that others continue to patronize and enjoy this spot as much as we do. See you soon! read more
