    Tuna pizza but where's the tuna?
    Jan M.

    I ordered grubhub from here. I always go to the new city location which is really good. This place was totally opposite. I had the worst tuna pizza ever. I ordered not spicy and there was no tuna on it and the bottom crust was like a basic cracker. The wasabi mayo was not like the one in new city and the sashimi was tough to cut. I would never order from here again. I will stick with the new city location.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll

    I had the Fancy Roll, The Spicy Girl Roll and a Shrimp Tempura Roll... all exceptionally Tasty! Service was superb and the atmosphere was nice. Do not be put off by the entrance, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you enter!

    Vegetable Teriyaki
    Sharon W.

    We really liked Kumo. A great find in Pearl River. You can order anything from hibachi to sushi to regular entrees. We started with the Shishito Peppers and Edamame as an appetizer. DEFINITELY recommend both! The peppers were really good. Sushi platter as you can see from the picture was quite the variety and as the boys said "Very fresh and delicious". I had the beef negimaki as an entree. It was served with broccoli and rice. It was good as was the vegetable teriyaki. Warm sake always good with sushi. I loved the decor of Kumo too. Waitress was very patient with us constantly ordering and asking for more drinks or water. Come to Pearl River and see what the buzz is all about when you come to Kumo.

    Teriyaki chicken dinner box
    Tori K.

    Great restaurant! Super cool atmosphere inside and very clean. The service was fairly fast. I ordered the chicken teriyaki dinner box and everything in it was delicious. The California roll was great, very small pieces (which I prefer) and fresh. My friend ordered the chicken hibachi dinner and mentioned that some pieces of chicken were chewy. Otherwise, a good experience.

    lunch menu
    Jane Y.

    I came to Kumo Japanese Restaurant for lunch with a group of friends. Parking is easy to find (but beware it's metered street parking) and the interior is pretty creating a nice atmosphere, but the food is average (I was not at all impressed with the chirashi lunch I got - it would better be described as a plated assortment of seafood, tamagoyaki, and imitation crab with a side of rice), and while the service staff will ask the chefs if accomodations can be made, the chefs won't accommodate your entree requests. For example: a friend of mine asked if any of the rolls could be made riceless as they didn't have any riceless roll options on the menu like other sushi establishments sometimes have and while our server did say she would ask the sushi chef, she came back to tell us that the chef said no... this makes me question Kumo's willingness and ability to accommodate possible dietary restrictions and food allergies for customers.

Sooo the food was just as tasty and fresh but had some different items which was nice. Inside is roomy and cozy. They had a small bar area and they do serve alcohol here so it's not BYOB like at Asahi. It was a tad slow on service but considering that only the owner and another waiter working that night so that's understandable. Overall it's a solid place for AYCE with a bar.

While the quality was good and we didn't have any yucky pieces of fish, they missed the mark a bit. I got the beef teriyaki for my son. He said it tasted great, and he is somewhat of a connoisseur for steak teriyakis. I was also impressed with the portion of steak for the price. Plus, the accompanying vegetables were actually ones he eats (carrots and broccoli). However, the miss here was that they forgot to include the white rice that comes with it. Very frustrating! I'm not gonna call and point this out, and I'm not going to drive back just for white rice. It's just inconvenient and frustrating. We ended up cooking a cup of white rice for him, so he had to wait ten minutes either way. The sushi and sashimi for two tasted good. All fresh, fresh fish. Similar to my last comment, I wish they'd put more variety in the platter. With so many fish to choose from, in a platter of this size, it would be so much more exciting if a broader sampling was given. Instead, I'm given 6 or 7 pieces of the same fish when combining sushi and sashimi. Other places will give no more than two of each fish. So, not perfect, not bad, and we'll see if they can impress in the future

    I've been ordering from Koi 21 for years, but had never actually gone there to eat in (side note,…read morethe delivery experience with Koi is also amazing). Upon finally heading there to actually sit in the restaurant and eat, I was really pleasantly surprised. Koi is tucked away from the main stretch of restaurants in Pearl River and has its own parking lot which is an added plus. The interior of the space is really pretty - they actually have a koi pond with waterfall inside, which gives a really pretty vibe and they even have these tucked away spaces for more private dining as well. The staff is so friendly and attentive - your drink never gets close to empty before they're asking if you want a refill and the food comes out quickly. The food itself is DELICIOUS - definitely my go-to sushi spot in the area with a great variety, so if you're not a sushi fan, there's still hibachi and a lot of cooked dishes too, so there is something for everyone. The price for value is wild - the portions are big and the quality is always excellent. Some of my favorites are the crab rangoon, the veggie gyoza, tuna pizza, the rock shrimp (basically a bang bang shrimp that is SO delicious), and honestly any of the sushi rolls (the OMG and Crazy Tuna specialty rolls are always a hit and I always love a Philly roll with avocado and cucumber as well). There is a minimal upcharge for brown rice, which is my go-to. Another plus is that Koi has a full bar. The wine by the glass options are okay, but the lychee martini I had was decent! Not the best, but still a bonus and nice to have. I will still order delivery from Koi, but will also make more of an effort to get here for the great service, food, and atmosphere!

Sushi, sashimi, rolls, steak teriyaki, all good quality. I've been particularly happy with the "love boat for 2" entree lately. It's a nice assortment of sushi, 2 rolls and beautiful slices of sashimi. It's quite satisfying and reasonably priced. Comes with soup or salad for two. My kids love the steak teriyaki, but aren't crazy about the vegetables that come with it. They're a bit watery in the teriyaki. Overall, great experiences here and they never mess up an order. My takeout bags have been complete and never missing anything. I'll keep returning.

If you do dine here, I suggest skipping the appetizers and going straight to the main course options. Regarding the apps, the duck pancake was actually in a green wrap (which seemed odd) and the sauce overpowered the bits of duck inside. The spring rolls were large and had what looked to be alternative meat or something with similar consistency and didn't seem overall that fresh. The fried spring rolls were "ok." The best thing was the pad prik with veggies and tofu which wasn't oily but also didn't feel like it was amazing. It appears you can order online when they're open which is a plus if you hate using the phone. I'll leave the caveat that I'm not a Thai food connoisseur but usually enjoy it. I wish that I felt more positive since it's a small business! Maybe I'd give them another chance if I was eating in the restaurant. Metered street parking and doesn't seem too hard to find parking. No credit card processing fee.

While I do love the duck breast and lamb chops included with the Classic package, we all felt Essentials was enough for this visit. Celia was our waitress. While things were a little slow getting started, once our first order went in, the food started flying out. Everything we ordered throughout the evening arrived much faster than it did on my previous visit. The menu makes it sound like they'll throttle you to only a couple of items at a time, but that really wasn't our experience. We were consistently able to order several items per person, so there was always something on the grill, more food on the way, and plenty to keep us chomping away. Our favorites this time? The top blade, brisket, hanger steak, pork belly, and even the salmon ceviche, which was surprisingly refreshing between rounds of grilled meat. We did have a couple of hiccups, but Celia was eager to make things right. After we received the wrong shrimp twice, she took it upon herself to get the manager involved. They tracked down the correct shrimp and brought it out. Thanks! Speaking of the manager, Andy was terrific. After another unpleasantry at our table, he came over and sincerely apologized several times. It was obvious he genuinely wanted to make things right. After we took a quick selfie together, he got us with a few complimentary cocktails. I have to say, anything here with cucumber in it is delicious here. Super refreshing. By the end of the meal, my son was a fluent griller and even said he liked Gyuzo more than the other all-you-can-eat BBQ places we've visited. That's about as good an endorsement as I can give. We'll certainly be back.

The portions are a good size and cooked to perfection. Chef John noticed that the ribeye portion for one of our party was too small so he had the kitchen bring out another cut and he cooked that up for him. They don't serve mustard sauce at the table- only ginger and yum sauce, but if you call ahead (and ask for Chef John) he can make it for you- and it's delicious. He's not the showiest of chefs but he has great skills and the food is delicious. Notes about the hibachi section- it is crowded, loud and can get hot. If you have sensory issues it's probably not the place for you. My adult daughter had to step out because of the noise and the crowd. But we come on weekend nights when it's the worst.

    Naru looked promising when we booked our party of three for a birthday dinner online, and the…read moreconfirmation call was pleasant. It's an intimate spot with only four teppanyaki tables, and we were seated promptly. My family has been going to hibachi for over 50 years to celebrate special occasions, so we know what to expect. Unfortunately, this visit was a total letdown. As is standard, we shared a table with another party--a family with three kids. Right away, there were red flags: the kids were hyped up on candy, spilling things, and spreading out so much that I was repeatedly bumped into and forced to eat off the edge of the table. Management and servers saw this unfolding but never intervened, even though they clearly knew the family. Then came our cook, "Chef John," and things went further downhill: Complete Lack of Engagement: Wearing a baseball cap instead of proper chef attire, Chef John spent the entire meal chatting with the other family (who were clearly regulars) while ignoring us like we weren't even there. No Showmanship: Teppanyaki is about the experience-- jokes, knife tricks, tossing shrimp, flipping eggs. Chef John did nothing beyond a single, basic onion volcano. Bland & Poorly Executed Food: The food lacked real flavor--no ginger or garlic, just heavy salt, pepper, and soy sauce. The steaks were hit-or-miss (the ribeye was moist, but the filet had dry sections), and seafood wasn't cut into bite-sized pieces for chopsticks. Order Snafu & Arguing: All three of us ordered steak and shrimp combos. He served full shrimp portions to two of us, but gave the third person only an appetizer portion. When we brought up the mistake--despite him confirming orders earlier--it turned into an uncomfortable debate over whether she was "entitled" to the rest of her meal. We eventually got the missing shrimp, but the damage was done. Between the chaotic table dynamic that staff ignored, zero entertainment, bland food, and having to argue for the food we ordered, it ruined a birthday celebration. I seriously doubt that we will be returning.
