I have a love/hate relationship with Kumo. Ditmas park doesn't have many GOOD sushi restaurants to choose from. I mostly order delivery, and they arrive in a timely manor. But on a few occasions, the sushi was warm. Can't eat that. It turns my Stomach. Over all, I've had better. But if you are home reading this and you have a hankering for sushi just go ahead and order it. Can't say it will blow your socks off. read more

Beware. Stay far away. Quality has gone way, way down. I ordered shrimp teriyaki bento box on 8/16/20 and am still recovering from food poisoning on 8/20/20. I called and spoke with manager who said he has no record of my order of that date. He did not apologize.I have record of calling them on my phone log and order is listed on my Chase credit card with the restaurant's name for 8/16/20. Bad food, lies and lack of courtesy. Treasure your health, stay away from this place. Find a decent restaurant. read more

I placed a pick up order online and when I arrived the food was ready. I asked for a spicy Mayo sauce and was told it would be $1. I told the cashier that I only have my debit card. He told me that I can not pay using my debit card for the spicy Mayo. I then told him well if I can't get the Mayo I don't want the food. The cashier was very rude and had an attitude. He then refunded me back my money ... To me it was the principal. I don't mind paying for the spicy Mayo but If you want to charge me you should be able to take the same payment that was used in my online order ... I will never go back there .. nyc has many other sushi spots ... read more

My new fave Japanese restaurant. it's a tie between Mura on fifth, and Hana on Smith street . They have very innovative "rolls". Very fresh seafood. Very nice staff. Over all a good dining experience. The only small thing, which wouldn't stop me from going back, is the back round music. i prefer more whimsical Asian music, they were playing Asian techno-ish. Great Japanese restaurant!!!! read more

I kid you not, I found a HAIR IN MY MISO. I repeat I will not be ordering from here again. The sushi was good but u was horrified to find a short hair in my miso soup! Would not order from here unless you want some hair in your food. read more

Kumo Sushi - HAIR! IN! MY! FOOD! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Let start with the positives. The staff was polite. I wouldn't say they went out of their way, but they certainly weren't rude like some other reviews said. And the price was very reasonable. I had a beer, soup and 2 rolls for less than $20. Not bad if you ask me. So that's the positives. Now lets talk about the food. My soup (clear soup) was delicious. I should have stopped there and maybe just had two bowls of soup. My beer was warm as was my sushi. The Jamaica roll is bland and flavor less. The spicy crunchy roll was ok, but nothing great. Honestly, I just moved to the city from Kentucky, and I've had much better sushi back home. read more

For take out, made fresh and just right. Regular portion sized: not irregularly large and not tiny for its price. For the only sushi place in Cortelyou, it is actually a good spot for local sushi. The interior of the place is quite dark to set the ambience. There is a lot of seating inside. Overall, I would come back to stay in. read more

I have only ordered delivery (3 times) from Kumo since they opened a couple of months ago, and I've been very pleased. I typically order sushi and a little sashimi, none of the kitchen entrees. The fish is fresh and tasty; the rice is not great, but good. We have not had good sushi in this neighborhood, so having a decent place that delivers is great. (Some folks will tell you Himalayan sushi is great, but I found it very mediocre). Kumo is new, but they are clearly dedicated to building a good business, so I anticipate they will only improve over time. In short, not the best sushi, but very reliable and good in a pinch, and delivery so far has been reliable and quick. read more

Decent, delicious, and cute with prompt customer service. The menu has a decent range of selections but it could be better with more variety. I wish the hot green tea was stronger. Enjoy =) read more

Kumo Sushi - Spicy crunchy salmon roll. Drain roll. Fired oysters. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've only been here once since it opened, but it seems like a pretty nice sushi place. The salmon skin salad was good, as were the 2 rolls I tried. But the real winner here is the tuna dumplings - tuna sashimi filled with mashed avocado, roe, chopped shrimp, tempura flakes (i think), a bit of wasabi, and maybe something else. Absolutely delicious! I could eat a dozen of them. They don't have their liquor or beer license yet, but hopefully they'll get it soon. read more

Sushi is awesome (menu selection is divers), beautiful/romantic ambience and price is great! Fried Green Tea Ice Cream and the vegetable dumplings are dangerously addictive. read more

Kumo Sushi - Jamaica Roll and Rainbow - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Finally after living in the neighborhood for over two years, hubby and I went and I was in heaven! Loved it! I had the spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna sushi, yellowtail sushi and their yummy mochi ice cream. Nice outdoor patio and friendly waitstaff. Will be back! read more

Kumo Sushi - Mochi Ice Cream - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Kitty-cornered from the public library branch and on the other side the local food coop, this eatery is on a bustling city neighborhood street. I didn't order sushi, but rather the shrimp tempura lunch platter and I enjoyed it. The dish was light and delish, portions of average size. Service a little slow. read more

Great quality sushi delivered on time for a reasonable price is a good thing here in Brooklyn, baby.

Don't really have nothing bad to say the sushi is always fresh and the delivery comes in a reasonable time even though the delivery guy is pretty rude He must've felt the tip wasn't enough then went off in his language made me a little uncomfortable but the food wasn't bad jus a bad experience read more

The restaurant is very nice inside; I'd give them an A for decor and atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer, and the other people I was with ordered the chicken tempura appetizer and a scallop appetizer. The tempura was pretty good, better than I've had before. The dessert was entirely disappointing, though. We shared the fried green tea ice cream and cheesecake. The ice cream had freezer burns and the cheesecake was still frozen in the middle... dessert is obviously not their forte. This place is NOT in the hood.... I've lived in this neighborhood my whole life and it was never the hood.... where are you guys from??? read more

I love the pleasant atmosphere and soothing music.. The food is pretty good, fast service and mostly smiles !! I enjoyed the experience, you should come on down !! read more

Kumo Sushi - Shrimp fried rice and spicy tuna rolls.... The shrimp tempura rolls, & the golden lobster tail rolls are great as well.! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always a favorite for Japanese fix when in Brooklyn. It's never crowded and ALWAYS good.

This review is only in regards to delivery service, not on-site service. I semi-frequently order from Kumo Sushi when I have no energy left to cook for myself, and I order the same few rolls every time. Their sweet potato roll is a hidden gem that has forever turned me on to the rooty, starchy delight. Miso soup is a little thin, and the udon and ramen come in generous, impressive portions, spicy and thickly filled. Shrimp is with tail-on, so be aware of that when devouring the toppings. They always give me a little cup of chopped melon with the order. Very sweet delivery-people! read more

I won't deny the food is good (not anything exceptional- the eggplant is pretty subpar), but the low rating is for service, which I feel outweighs food quality. I've ordered here and gone here several times and I've never felt entirely welcome, but tonight I am done with this restaurant! My delivery order is frequently wrong, but I let it slide. Tonight I called to complain because I had specifically asked for extra ginger and no wasabi (allergy), as well as no soy sauce. My order arrived with wasabi all over the very minimal ginger I was given, and the bag contained soy sauce. Total waste since I throw I out. I called the restaurant and the man I talked to was rather rude. He did offer to replace the whole order, but stated "I will give you extra ginger but not a lot. Normally we charge you for it". If Grubhub offered an option to request extra ginger besides adding it in a note I would do so, even if it means I pay for it. When the delivery guy got here he was a TOTAL DICK. He demanded the old order back- I had eaten the pieces not touched by wasabi (I was super hungry!), and was about o give the rest to my poor neighbor. The restaurant surely threw it out, so the return aspect makes no sense. And the delivery guy was absolutely mean, yelling at me and trying to grab my arm. The man on the phone said nothing about returning the original delivery. Had he, I would have argued that he's going to throw it away and it could be given to a starving neighbor. I simply can't order from a snobby, rude restaurant like this. There are lots of sushi places around that I can order from and will treat me nicer and get my order correct. I recommend not bothering with this one. 20 minutes after I wrote this the guy from the restaurant called me and screamed at me for eating part of the original order! I had already waited for the first delivery while super hungry and I threw out part of it due to the wasabi on it. This place is just horrible! read more

This place is so cute, the food was fresh and portions were huge. Will return soon. The menu had an array of options.

Ok first of all I have to specify that the 4 stars are for a neighborhood sushi restaurant, not for a "fancy" sushi restaurant. My partner lived close to this restaurant for a few years and it's a great place to go when you don't want to cook and want something satisfying and simple. The sushi is no thrill fresh well prepared sushi with a few nice tool creations some more American than other. I like the rainbow roll and the yellow tail roll. A couple of times I ordered the sashimi platter with a couple of Uni (sea urchins) a la carte on the side and it was pretty close to a fancy meal in my book. In the winter the large udon soup is very good and reasonably priced. Over the five years I have gone there there have been a couple of not great waitresses but the staff has improved over the years. read more

reasonably priced & reliably delicious sushi! super sweet and attentive service also :)

Great food. I had salmon teriyaki and I was pleasantly surprised that it came with mashed potatoes, broccoli and rice. I also got a 10% discount since my complete order was over $30. read more

Fast service, can be in and out of under an hour. Good selection of rolls. The Ramen is excellent!

I've patronized this place a few times in the past despite the servers constantly being rude and dismissive because the sushi USED to be great. On my last visit here my spicy tuna roll was spoiled and they refused to take it back even though we complained. What happened to "The customer is always right"? The craziest thing about that last experience is that they stopped us on the way out and asked for a tip! FOR WHATTTTTTTT?!!!!!!! This was my last time coming here and I strongly advise anyone else looking for sushi - and who happen to care about things like quality and service - to go somewhere else! read more

We order from this place all the time for many years. The food is always fresh and tasty. My son loves Unagi Don and all family is very pleased with menu read more

Seamless order was late. Calamari was so hard and repulsing. I actually detest calamari after having Kumo's. Sushi was okay.

Completely frustrated with Kumo Sushi. I order from kumo Sushi about twice a week, sometimes more if I have friends over. They are always out of items. The whole menu is never available. This is not my main source of frustration however. I always use seamless since it meant to be ,well seamless, fast, hassle free. Few taps on your screen and food is on it's way! Every time they are out of an item I order. I spend a painful 10-12 minutes on the phone arguing with staff/manager. They are ALWAYS reluctant to refund me the $$ for the missing items. Urging me to settle for something else. It is a bloody battle .I am constantly outraged at their refusal to call seamless to issue a refund. On every occasion the staff/manager has insisted on me calling seamless, claiming that it is my responsibility. I manage a restaurant, I know the painful procedure of calling seamless and waiting on hold and exchanging confirmation codes, time consuming, mentally taxing. I do this at my job every night since it is required of the merchant. I refuse to do it on my free time when the responsibly rests on Kumo sushi's staff. Like the rest of the world, I order take-out when I am busy, caught up with school assignments, writing a paper, struggling to meet a deadline. No time to fix myself a meal. I have no time to deal with customer care. I have explained this to kumo staff and time again in addition to informing them that I know it's their job to call customer care. No dice! RUDE RUDE RUDE, the staff and the manager alike. On every occasion, more than 12 times. I have ended up calling seamless myself. I always vow not to order again from them but they are the only Japanese place around. Today was my last straw. You would think they would be more accommodating to someone that frequents their business as much as i do. Will take any Japanese Restaurant referrals that is within the same vicinity. Thanks! read more

Great and reasonably priced regular rolls ($4-5.50). Slammin' Salmon roll was $5.50 and had mango and citrus. We were also surpassed with a beef udon stir fry when we thought we had ordered a soup, but we stuck with the stir fry and were pleasantly surprised by the stir fry. The restaurant is very nice and comfortable without being fancy or hip. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Terrible Sushi Alert We had sushi there a few nights ago; two types of sushi seemed to not be the fish that they were sold as. I ordered toro, and whatever it is they served did not look or taste like toro I've had in other restaurants. My friend's salmon sushi was a color that I've never seen before. All of the sushi either had no flavor, or tasted a bit gross. If you appreciate good sushi, do not order sushi here. read more

Hood sushi=Basic sushi at best, and plus one their crazy looking delivery guys was an asshole to me for not blessing him with a $5 tip. I couldn't continue to have him keep insulting me each time time he delivered so I took my biz to Sake Sushi which honestly is a 100x better, it's not Nobu or Sushi of Gari but very decent for hood sushi...lol . Scouts honor. read more

The food at kumo is great I love the fried icecream. I have been there a ton of times for several different occassions but their downfall is the terrible service. I dont mind giving a tip but if I didnt leave one its for good reason. The host followed me outside and hounded me to give her a tip she wasnt even my waitresses. Idk y I keep coming back this same lady os always rude about something but the food is good and its soo damn close to my house ( walking distance) but I think this was my last straw! read more

I'm so glad that this restaurant is in this area. Nice place to eat out with your friends. I never really seen a big crowd of people in here so I guess thieir no need for reservations. The sushi is ok and the staff is super friendly. read more

We went early with our two little granddaughters. Service was exemplary. The 4 year old lives for their shumai. I had the $13 vegetarian sushi deluxe. It was incredible - pickled daikon, something else that looked like rare tuna and was some tasty veggie. The sushi had fruit (maybe dates) - so inventive. The beef and chicken teriyaki were fine but only warm. Brought leftovers home. read more

Sushi was decent but after reading the reviews I don't see why it wasn't lIked? Best way to judge is by yourself! 3 sushi rolls, appetizers, 2 drinks, dessert for around 30 bucks which in my opinion is pretty good compared to the spots I went. read more

THE BESTTT CHICKEN RAMEN, they sometimes take a while to get it out, but it's worth it, that's all I get from their restaurant tbh and I always gone back and order more. Their tofu and squid is also good! read more

Great place to eat, went there many times, every time love it., love the friendly stuff and design in a restaurant

Good food, delivery leaves something to be desired. Have waited anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes (tonight) for food and 9/10 times the delivery guy can't figure out how to use the buzzer on my front door, which is, like, the whole damn point of getting delivery. (And, Christ, you're a delivery guy. It's a buzzer. Work on that. Unless you just don't WANT to come in and then this place gets fewer stars.) read more

I ordered the Steak Ramen and the Seafood Ramen, both were spiced well and delicious.
