Still a pretty decent price for 8 dollars a roll but it's buy one get one on doordash. Make sure to check your delivery apps to make sure they have the deals. My first time here I gave it a great review but I was disappointed to learn that their spicy tuna comes in plastic bags and I could really taste it in the texture that it wasn't freshly chopped. I would have to say I'm kind of disappointed but it's still a good deal for sushi. Their prices have increased significantly since opening read more

Fresh and delicious sushi! Small portions, but they are priced accordingly. The only thing that bothered me was that everything is served to go. All single use plastic. We sat at the bar-which has about 6-7 seats. They also have three small tables outside. Super friendly staff. They were great at explaining the philosophy of the restaurant. They specialize in four kinds of fresh quality fish. They don't have a huge menu, but what's there is really good! They even treated us to a free roll for Mother's Day! Totally going back! I guess their coolers are packed around noon for quick lunches, with many of them priced at $5! (I actually think he said all of them are $5, but I might be wrong) read more

What a nice surprise! We were attending a performance nearby and I saw a decent review on Yelp so I thought we'd give them a shot. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately and told to order at the kiosk and then to sit anywhere. By anywhere, that meant one of two or three tables next to the window. I was a bit taken aback by the sparseness of the place and the fact that one of the refrigerated cases was completely empty. But the server, who seemed to also be the owner, quickly updated us tray it was only the second day they had been open following a remodel. We placed our order and grabbed the only available table. It was explained to us that the menu isn't very large so that they can focus on quality over quantity, something I appreciate. The food came out quite fast and was in a bag ready for us to take home. Except we were dining in. When I mentioned that, he shrugged. Okay, I'm thinking. Maybe it was a simple mistake, so we took everything out of the bag and arranged it on the table. Over the course of the meal, I noticed that all orders were prepared that way, whether dine in or take out. We ordered the Crispy Rice, Yellowtail Serrano, Ponzu Albacore, the Spicy Tuna Avocado Crunch roll (I believe) and two orders of the Tuna Lovers sushi. After fidgeting around with all of the individual containers and setting up some wasabi and soy sauce in one of the lids, we indulged. By this point, I am slightly annoyed that we are essentially serving ourselves, and no dipping bowls or other items were offered. But my annoyances were quickly overcome at the first bite. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was incredibly fresh and delicious. The assorted Tuna Lovers sushi featured 4 different preparations, each one better than the last. The sashimi slices were amply cut and the toppings perfectly complemented the fish. The crispy rice was fairly standard and the roll was nice and flavorful. The bottom line is that I wish this place were closer to me. I'd be eating there frequently. My inclination was to give them 5 stars due to the freshness of the food, but I need to knock off a star due to the ambiance and service. For the price, I really expect to be served and not have to order at a kiosk. I also expect food to comer out on actual dishes, not in a take out bag with disposable containers. So...4 stars it is. But I look forward to returning at some point and if they correct those things, and the food is just as good, I'll write a new 5 star review! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon when craving some sushi. I was at the SAG building and this place was near by. The plaza is small and shares it with several other businesses. Parking is very limited. I had to park at the nearby residential area and then moved my car once a spot opened up. Couldn't find any meter parking as they were all taken. I got 3 Kumo sets. I ate 2 and my kid ate 1. It was fresh and great quality sushi. We enjoyed everything and we will be back next time we are in the area. You order from a tablet and pay on your own. It was quick and easy. Check their hours. They are open from 4pm. Definitely recommend. read more

Came here after my friend told me about their $20 Kumo sushi set, and it was totally worth it. FOOD: 5/5 The set included crispy rice tuna, a tuna roll, and four pieces of sushi. Everything tasted super fresh, and one of the sushi pieces was toro, which melted in my mouth. Amazing quality for the price. Would definitely come back and recommend supporting this spot. SERVICE: 5/5 You order at a kiosk when you walk in. Seating is limited (only two tables for now), so it's more of a quick bite place, but service was fast. The girl who gave me my order was really nice, and the sushi was made fresh without a long wait. ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 Small, casual sushi spot with minimal parking, but there's street parking nearby. It wasn't crowded when I went, which made it a chill experience. read more

Heard so many good things about this new sushi restaurant and was so excited to try. I got their set that came with crispy rice tuna, two pieces sashimi, nigiri, spicy tuna roll and edamame seaweed salad and miso soup on the side. Price came out to be 37$ but I wanted to try a little bit of everything and was down for this little sampler menu. Really wanted to like this place but the sashimi was thrown around randomly, every time I picked a nigiri piece the rice just fell off and I thought the texture on the crispy rice tuna was stale. Side dishes and miso soup were fine but was genuinely not impressed. read more

This is personally my favorite sushi spot in Los Angeles. I've tried a lot of different places in LA, but this one hits the nail for me because of how they season their rice and emphasize good quality fish. I've been trying to look for a go-to for a while now, but this one for sure is it for me. Chef Roy, George, and the staff are so welcoming and kind. They're funny too, I heard them re-enacting "Yes Chef" from The Bear TV show. It made me laugh as they definitely know how to have fun while serving their customers. Small spot with limited parking inside the plaza, but there's never any issues with street parking. Seats are also limited too, so order to-go if anything. Will come back (again) for my next sushi fix. I've come here twice in two days... the Kumo Set is too good. The tuna is the BEST & melts in your mouth. read more

After hearing about Kumo Kitchen opening near us, we decided to give them a try last night. And I have to say, we were thrilled! I decided to drive over to their location to see it and order in person. It's a cute little space with a wide open kitchen and although it is rather simple, it was clean and had a good vibe. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a an extremely friendly and welcoming guy at the counter. He didn't hesitate to ask if I had any questions or if he could help me with placing my order. We ended up ordering quite a bit of food for just the two of us, but everything that we ordered was delicious, fresh, and looked amazing. We ordered 5 rolls, edamame, miso soup, salmon carpaccio, crispy rice and some salmon sushi. The rolls were the perfect size, the salmon and tuna melt in your mouth fresh, and everything else was just as awesome. We couldn't be happier with not only the food, but also with just how great the 3 guys behind the counter were when I got there. I would highly recommend Kumo Kitchen to anyone looking for fresh, delicious and well presented sushi! Definitely a 2 thumbs up experience all around and we will definitely be ordering again from them very soon!! read more

Kumo Kitchen is hands-down the best sushi spot around. Not only because the sushi itself is incredible, but because of the heart behind it. The fish tastes undeniably fresh every single time, but what truly sets Kumo apart is the charm you only find in local, community-driven businesses. You just do not get this kind of warmth and care from big corporations. Our friend group absolutely loves Kumo. We've chatted with the owners many times and they are genuinely kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. I'm vegan, and they went out of their way to create an entire vegan feast for me that was beautifully crafted, delicious, and incredibly well-priced. I felt so cared for. One of our friends eats here all the time, and she was having a really rough day. We wanted to get her a gift card, but when we went in, the owners did something even more special. Instead of a standard card, they created a cute little handwritten poster meal voucher with us just for her and found a giant bow to put on the sushi platter. They told us that when she came in, she could let them know there was a surprise waiting. They even asked us to DM them i'm Instagram when she was on her way so they could have everything freshly prepared and ready when she arrived. When she did, they made her and her girlfriend a decadent sushi meal, took a Polaroid photo of her, and she was so overwhelmed by the kindness that she hugged the owner, and she doesn't hug people often! Being able to help create that with my friend and the owners of Kumo was incredibly moving. This is what American business should look like. Community-oriented. Human. Symbiotic. Kumo Kitchen doesn't just serve amazing food. They create connection, joy, and care. And that is priceless. read more

However, they seem to be changing their hours, and I have not seen one mailer dropped off promoting their business, so I honestly have no idea when they are open, or if they are still a viable business. I hope they survive, but they sure need some help with marketing what they offer, and the time of day that they offer it, to the neighborhood. read more

Made the tri tip better but not by much. * Coconut beef adobo: One of the better items. Beef chunks were melt in your mouth and the sauce was a good middle between savory and vinegary - balanced out by sweetness from the coconut. * Smoked gouda mac: Would not order again. The big shell macaroni noodles were soggy; the cheese sauce was mild in flavor, clumpy and not satisfying melty; lastly, the panko crust was just there and didn't add anything imo. * Cornbread bibingka: The other better dish of the night - very moist, muffin like crumb, and not too sweet or heavy. Portion is on the smaller side though. My bf who normally isn't a fan of cornbread enjoyed this!

Short-rib, wow!

It's a staple in my rotation, and over time I've really gotten to know the people there--especially at the bar. One person who truly stands out is Becca. She's usually one of the first people I see when I go to GCM, She is an absolute delight. because she greets me with a such enthusiasm or a friendly wave and a genuinely beautiful smile. Honestly, it almost makes me feel guilty that I don't come by more often! Recently, I saw a review about an incident involving a customer and one of the people who work here, so I feel compelled to speak up. If you come across any negative review about anyone here at the bar, I can confidently say it does not reflect the people I--and many others--have experienced. In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt and urge you to go see for yourself!!!! Maple Block has consistently been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10 will come again

I usually go with the Angus beef rib (soy tare) and toro beef (soy tare), and the combo comes with rice, salad, and miso soup. At $15.95 (before tax), it's a great value for two meat options. Another thing I like -- though it might not be for everyone -- is that you get to cook your own meat. I prefer my meat done a certain way, so it's nice having that control, and everyone can cook it to their own preference. One downside is that service can be slow during lunch hours, as they often seem understaffed.

The place is somewhat small but does still fit a good number of people inbetween various booth and table sizes filled with grills in them. The staff were very quick and efficient and the food was pretty good overall. I got the beyond beef bowl as a combo. I do wish they let us know about the included miso soup wasn't vegetarian at first because I had to switch it for the seaweed salad later but at least the staff were very accommodating. I guess the negative would be is it felt like a "rushed" experience and the food didn't blow me away. But compared to everything with roast costs, I still think it's pretty decent and they have a good "happy hour".

Kumo Kitchen is such a hidden gem--a true hole-in-the-wall spot that completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside, it's easy to miss, but once you step in, you realize it's one of those places that locals probably try to keep to themselves. The sushi was absolutely delicious, and you could really taste the quality of the fish in every bite. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place where you can tell they take pride in what they're serving, not just rushing dishes out. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. They were so friendly and welcoming, and it created such a relaxed, comfortable vibe throughout the meal. Toward the end of the night, they even offered us extra food, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture--it made the whole experience feel even more special and personal. Overall, Kumo Kitchen is the perfect cozy spot if you're looking for great sushi without all the hype. Amazing food, warm service, and a genuinely memorable experience. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

From the first…read morebite, the spicy salmon had the perfect balance of heat and freshness, rich without being overwhelming. Pairing it with shrimp turned out to be such a great choice--the flavors complemented each other beautifully, adding both texture and a subtle sweetness that elevated the whole bowl. What really brought everything together, though, was the lemon ponzu sauce. It had this bright, citrusy depth that cut through the richness in the best way possible, tying every ingredient into one cohesive, refreshing bite. You can tell a lot of care went into crafting these flavors--it didn't feel rushed or generic, but thoughtful and genuinely satisfying. It's rare to find a place where every component shines on its own and still works perfectly together. This was one of those experiences that leaves you already thinking about your next visit before you've even finished eating. The ambience here really elevates the whole poke experience.

It strikes that perfect balance between casual and thoughtfully designed, making it just as great for a quick bite as it is for sitting down and actually enjoying your meal.

The other was the soft shell crab roll which also was tasty. The flavors were on point with the combination of the sweet and umami. SERVICE Ordered my food to go then decided I wanted to eat it there. The owner was nice and gave great customer service. He even serve my baked salmon roll for there, and plated the other roll to go. I thought it was such a nice touch since I was on the phone and forgot to communicate that I'd like it done that way. He literally read my mind. AMBIANCE The place was elegant, and quieter which was perfect for the setting. There was tv on in case I needed some entertainment.

However, to not keep paying delivery fees, we decided to go in person since the restaurant is close by, and that was a mistake. It's a cute, clean restaurant in a weird location, tucked into a corner by the target. They have tablets at the tables, which is fun, and they still brought paper menus, but we ordered off the tablet. It is odd because while my husband was deciding what to order, the tablet told us to order or it would time out. So I ordered my food and sent it in and then a few seconds later, my husband put in his order. Mine came out quickly and was the quality I'd come to expect. And then...we waited. And waited. Other parties slowly trickled in (prior it had been mostly empty). When I saw they got their food long before my husband received his, I flagged one of the two waitresses and she assured us they were working on it. Like me, my husband got two sushi rolls. It took another 15 minutes (during which time soups and plates had been handily delivered to other tables) before my husband finally got his food. There was no apology, and no acknowledgment that two rolls took over a half hour. If they had forgotten the order or something had gone awry, that's fine! I understand the chaos of a busy kitchen. But to not acknowledge or check on us in a near empty restaurant is just poor service. I will stick to ordering online.

I wish more restaurants would do this. I stopped in for a quick bowl of their clear broth chicken ramen and it was seriously delicious: light, clean flavor but still really satisfying. Exactly what I wanted. I'm really not a huge fan of those heavy, creamy ramen broths that a lot of people rave about. I get the appeal but personally it just feels like artery clogging overkill for a few minutes of flavor that disappears way too fast. I much prefer a lighter, cleaner broth that you can actually enjoy without feeling weighed down afterward. They also have this matcha ramen that's limited to only 12 bowls a day which immediately caught my attention. It looked really interesting and now I'm curious enough that I'll definitely be back to try it. New favorite ramen spot in LA unlocked!

I had dinner at Laki Ramen last night and I just love it!…read more My friend and I sat down, right as the small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating got busy at 7pm on a Monday night. They have a small parking lot shared among many businesses if you drive over. We were warmly greeted and service was excellent throughout the entire meal. Their Karage was so juicy & plump, cut into slices rather than the nuggets you usually see. It was so incredibly delicious with tartar sauce & a chili oil served to compliment it. What makes Laki Ramen special is their Chicken Paitan/Baitang style ramen, which is rich & creamy and more importantly chicken-based. You usually only see pork-based ramens so this is a welcome change and I love having a speciality shop like this in Los Angeles. It left me feeling less heavy than with donkatsu ramens and has a few thinly sliced chicken pieces on top. I went with the Matcha Ramen which they only serve 10 of each day! But wow, was it nice and I absolutely loved it. Not to mention, the color was so pretty haha! I couldn't resist getting their Matcha Lemonade, as well, and I loved it so matcha ! That matcha lemonade is quali-tea!!! We also tried Laki's Chicken Cutlet Curry and absolutely loved it. Again, cooked perfectly in a rich and flavor-filled curry sauce. Everything we had at Laki Ramen was delicious! We agreed we'll be back and are intrigued to try their Clam Chowder Ramen! Oh and their music was fire!!! Aaliyah, TLC and Tupac!? I was loving the late 90s R&B/hiphop vibes.
