    An awesome experience tonight at Kumi! We used to frequent this place back when it was a coffee shop and then heard it was on your new ownership and that this restaurant had been established. It is beautiful in here, it's amazing to see what they did design wise to the interior and really transformed it into a higher end sushi stop. We came together as a family, and the service was very friendly and accommodating. The food was also fantastic! I ordered the fire phoenix roll and I highly recommend it, it's the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. I will be coming back here regularly literally just for this roll. So happy Waukesha has this spot on the main strip!

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Kumi! I've worked in the area for a long time and our favorite sushi restaurant closed in recent years. We were so looking forward to trying Kumi and they lived up to the high expectations! I took my friend here for her birthday lunch. We both ordered sushi lunch specials. The space is clean, bright, and inviting. Service was kind and fast. Price was very reasonable and the sushi was very fresh. And they were able to get us in and out within our lunch hour. Looking forward to coming back very soon and trying ramen or a poke bowl!

    New place. We will be back. Friendly staff and fresh food! My daughter and I eat sushi pretty regularly and it's nice to find a new place close to home. We enjoyed the ambience, the service and the food.

    As a sushi lover, Kumi is a fabulous authentic Sushi restaurant in quaint downtown Waukesha. The ambiance is clean, quiet and offer a Zen atmosphere. Service was top notch. Highly recommended.

    I really liked this place I was impressed with the sushi. I had vegetable gyoza which was steamed then grilled which gave it a light flavor I enjoyed. The actual dumpling filling was also more flavorful than most places. Sake was enjoyable. The sushi also tasted great.

    Significantly exceeded our expectations! Service was amazing, food was phenomenal, atmosphere is classy but casual. Tons of variety as far as dishes go and extremely well priced. I got their lunch box deal it was only 14.50! Will certainly be back!

    Hello Again Well I…read moredid not feel like staying in and eating at the hotel and didn't feel like driving far. And gee, asian food sounded good! Meiji was a good place. My food was very good and the service as well. I did not sit at the sushi bar or do the hibachi side. Just at a table by myself:(. But like i said all was good. I would give it 5 stars for what it is but I did feel the establishment needs a little TLC. But great job! I will be back.

    First time diners and 6 of us had a hibachi table to ourselves which allowed for good conversation…read morebetween us. The staff was a bit hard to understand and when I explained we were first timers, she slowed down her speaking a bit and that helped. Be prepared to order you full meal right away as they then prepare the ingredients in the kitchen for preparation at the table. It appears to be traditional to be entertained by the chef, which we did expect, however I was not prepared to have a broccoli launched at me without warning. We each were hit in the face which was not a lot of fun. Maybe we could be asked first next time? I know many people enjoy this but we were in the middle of a conversation when the food started flying. Kids will love this! The food was prepared wonderfully well. A medium rare steak was perfect as was the medium one requested. A quick and efficient prep was impressive and there was a large amount of food on our plates before long. They have a happy hour that is really reasonable, M-Th 4:30-6:00. We will also be back to take advantage of that option. You can choose to sit in the traditional dining room or the hibachi area. We really enjoyed the hibachi option just for the pleasure of watching our food being prepared well in front of us. Plenty of parking in this relatively innocuous building near the mini-golf place. But it is worth a visit. The food is worth the reasonable prices.

    I have been to Wonitas a few times now for their all you can eat sushi. You order with by marking…read moreon paper which items you want from a list of food options. They also have some specialty items that aren't included in the all you can eat. And of course you can order individually aside from the all you can eat option. All the sushi has always been very fresh and I've always been impressed each time I've gone! The service has also always been great!

    Food 5/5. Service 1/5. I really wanted to like this place,…read morebut the poor service ruined the experience. The exterior is a nice building. I like the wraparound porch it has. When we walked in, we got seated without a wait. However, after we sat down, no server came to us. So, we waited and wrote down our orders on the pink sheet they give you to put in your orders. We kept waiting and still no one came to us. This was a red flag and made us change our mind to do à la carte instead of AYCE. If this is how long it takes for a server to even come and acknowledge us, we knew we would be waiting around for food and definitely not get our money's worth of food. A server finally came to our table to take our order and asked what we wanted to drink. I think her name was Sabrina because that's what it said on our receipt later on. We asked her for two waters. She left with the pink sheet. This is where there the service got worse. We sat around and waited for our waters. We waited and waited while we saw other tables who sat down after us get their beverages right after they ordered. We were patient and kept waiting, but it took a while and there was no sign of our server. I then had to flag down another server to tell them that we ordered a while ago and never got our waters. Finally, our server came with the waters. A minute later our appetizer of baked mussels came out. So the whole time we were waiting for our food to come out, we had no drinks. Luckily, the mussels were pretty tasty. After we finished our apps, we waited yet another long time for our rolls to come out. We saw our sever standing with her back against the wall, just laughing and chatting with another server. There was zero sense of urgency. Our rolls finally came out after this on one plate, instead of two, so I had to ask for extra plates. The rolls tasted fine. We got the California rolls and the two-in-one roll, which was spicy salmon topped with spicy tuna. Both tasted solid, pretty hard to mess up. We ran into another issue. Our server never once checked in on us nor did she refill our waters. My husband's cup was nearly empty when she brought it out the rolls, so she should've realized that he would need a refill. After we finished our food, once again we were waiting a long time for our server to get our bill. We finally saw her and tried to flag her down, but she didn't notice us. Finally, she came and got us the bill after yet another long wait. Overall, the food is delightful. The service was not. This horrendously slow and unprofessional service justifies why you should not do all-you-can-eat here. Our server continuously ignored us. Had we done AYCE, we wouldn't be able to put in other orders because our server could not be found. I would only order takeout here. The poor service really ruins the experience.
