Service was mid, both servers seemed to forget they were even working. Sushi was great! And the sushi chef was probably the best employee. Tempura was greasy unlike how traditional Japanese tempura should be served. I got this chicken and lettuce wrap dish however and it tasted rotten and I should have sent it back. I've had the poo poos for the last two days unfortunately... read more

Yikes. The first booth they sat us in was sticky, I requested a new one and it was no problem. The drink menu at the next booth was sticky, and they were out of half of what was on the menu. Food was pretty meh. Waitress was super nice. Floor was... you guessed it - Sticky. I will not be coming back. read more

Service was good but sushi was dismal. Fish wS flavorless and sushi poorly made and falling apart. Will not return.

Food took so long to get to our table literally an hour! Expect to starve and lose an appetite! Also saw other people get their food before us when we arrived before them. Then when we ordered the tempura it lowkey tasted like it was air fried from the freezer . Very expensive for this service. The surroundings were great though . read more

Solid 3-star experience. I entered promptly at 4:30pm, just as they'd opened for dinner and used the restroom. It was trashed. I halfway expected a break between lunch and dinner was an opportunity for a restaurant to hit the reset button, including cleaning the restrooms. I was wrong. I said one little thing to the server and she chatted my ear off. I love that. I enjoy talking to people. Ordered the sashimi app and it seemed a bit small, kind of underwhelming, with a lot of carrot garnish to try hiding its little presentation. The salmon roll was as basic as possible and also a bit on the small side. Very bland. The Ocean Roll was quite good and it singlehandedly put this review in positive territory. Flavorful and pretty to look at, with a good deal of heft. I can see why it is popular. I can't see myself going back but I wish them the best. A. read more

Gross! Absolutely disgusting food! The general tso chicken had the texture of soggy boogers. Not a single piece of chicken in that mess. They packed my to go bag with the sushi on top of the hot food box. We ate at the brewery behind the building as soon as we picked the food up and the sushi was warm and awful. Waste of money. read more

The sushi here is absolutely delicious. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeno sashimi for our appetizer and it was amazing and so fresh. then we order an additional 5 rolls to share, our waitress gave us great recommendations and everything was perfect. Can't wait to go back. read more

Found this small sushi place in the FV area, and decided to stop by on a week night. The place is small, but not too shabby. TBH, the floors were sticky and that rubbed me the wrong way. I hope they are able to clean the floors more often. The waitress was nice and came by often. The sushi was pretty decent. The rolls were smaller bites, and pretty tasty. The presentation was cute. I'm glad the fish and sushi rice tasted fresh. 6/10 - probably a decent place to do takeout, but not as big of a fan of dining in read more

Kumo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

We've been coming here over the past few years, it's close to home. Overall I really like this place! I get their sushi rolls and we've tried their hibachi and a few appetizers. My fave thing is their Ginger dressing - I buy a big container a couple of times a year! read more

We ate here yesterday. The Thum yum soup and the sushi were good. Everything else we ordered was terrible. I ordered the beef hibachi cooked medium. It was cooked beyond well and didn't cover half the plate. My wife ordered shrimp and said it was the worst shrimp she had ever eaten. My daughter ordered hibachi chicken and said it was not good. We both ordered mountain dews and the cans they brought us were out of date 3 months ago. All of that was with prices WAY higher than any location in Fuquay. Three people ate here for $96 with terrible food. We are locals to the area but chose to try this since it was fairly close to the high school basketball game we were at. read more

The Service and food are really great here. Always enjoy coming here for some sushi and beer. Very friendly and kind staff.

Gave our order away, had to wait for them to remake our Sushi. ‍ Why do we keep coming back? Lol Because they are close to home. Seriously, thinking never again. Oooh...they refunded some money. read more

Kumo Sushi - a variety of sushi dishes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

1 waitress for 5 tables so clarifying not her fault she tried her best. Food took over an hour to come out hibachi was cold and came out way before the sushi so everyone who ordered hibachi was done with their food by the time sushi came out. Sushi was average I saw another review saying Harris teeter sushi was better I concur. read more

I had no idea that Kumo Sushi was located here until I overheard someone mentioning it while grabbing a beer at Oaklyn Springs Brewery. I ordered takeout and selected the crab rangoons and hibachi chicken with white rice and a salad (you can choose a salad or soup). The crab rangoons were just okay but the driver behind my 2 star review was the hibachi chicken. I ended up throwing it away because it tasted off, I'm not sure if it was the marinade, yum yum sauce or a combination of both. I'm hoping that this bad experience was just a one off but we will see. read more

This place sucks. The quality of the rice and even the tuna was terrible. The service was C+ at best. The environment wasn't bad. The sushi overall was awful and Harris Teeter is way better. Don't go here !!!!!!! read more

Service Was excellent but of course it wasn't very busy either which helps. The restaurant is clean and pretty typical in decor. We had salads with the ginger dressing, nothing special about the salad. The chicken lettuce wraps were really tasty. I would order those again. We ordered four different rolls of sushi. If you are afraid of raw fish you will love their menu. The sushi rolls are divided by cooked fish and raw fish. Prices seemed reasonable for two of us to have dinner with an appetizer salad and for sushi rolls total was $38. We drink water. That location is in a strip mall and available free parking is right outside the door. Restrooms were clean but ladies room had no paper towels. read more

Kumo Sushi - The storefront off 401 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

The hostess and server were incredibly friendly throughout our visit. You would never guess it from the outside, but the restaurant is very spacious. The menu has a lot of appetizer, sushi, sake, and hibachi options. We ordered the shumai to start. It was very tasty. Then we ordered the Dream roll, Rick Roll and salmon nigiri. We waited a long time for our rolls, and when they finally came out they were just ok. The rolls were over-sauced and the salmon was so thinly sliced that the rice overpowered it. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly while we were there and we noticed the majority of the patrons ate the hot entrees. Maybe that's the way to go here. read more

Kumo Sushi - Yuck - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

Listen... this place served up really good sushi to us fairly quickly - HOWEVER when we ate in the restaurant we were grossed out. I truly believe that if you don't care enough to regularly clean the area where your customers sit then your kitchen must be a disaster. They were not that busy and they seemed well staffed, The floors and tables were sticky, there were crumbs everywhere, it didn't smell particularly clean, a child (most likely belonging to an employee or the family that owns the place) was creating chaos in a booth she had to herself - and the bathrooms... God the bathrooms! I did not get any sort of sense that this place is anything but filthy, which bummed me out because the sushi was great! read more

Love this place. They have inventive rolls that are always well-made. The wasabi tastes fresh, and the hibachi is excellent. A great find in a small town. read more

Small but very nice. Sushi was fresh & my grandson &I received our food within 10 minutes of arriving. We also ordered fried rice , big portion & delicious. I strongly reccommend this family owned restaurant & will definitely return. read more

Decent sushi. Good service. We've eaten here a few times (due to lack of sushi options nearby to be honest) and have enjoyed the sushi- We've tried multiple rolls on the menu but there was no roll that was memorable or made me "wow". My latest was a takeout order. I got the golden tree roll, calamari, and clear soup. Again, takeout sushi isn't the same as eating in but it was good. Calamari was meh. Clear soup was as you'd expect- I wish they had more mushrooms in it. If I'm in the area with nothing close by and craving sushi, I'd stop by and get some take out. But sushi is not great to go out of my way for. We moved recently closer to Cary and there's better sushi options. read more

Don't be alarmed when you roll up to this spot Bc it looked like a hole in the wall lol. The reviews brought me here I'm glad we didn't turn away! Lol I definitely appreciated the ambience. It looked like mostly working professionals come here. Great alternative if you're looking for sushi close to Campbell University and don't mind a small hike. Will definitely come back :) read more

Kumo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

My first visit at Kumo Sushi. The atmosphere was comfortable and quiet. Gave me an impression of a higher quality restaurant. I ordered the lunch Chicken Hibachi. It tasted "ok", but nothing super special. My friend had sushi and she said it was "really good". The service was fast for a sit-down meal, of course there was only one other table with guests, during our late lunch. I'll go again. I this is a good location and easy parking in and out. read more

If you need a break from cooking during the pandemic give Kumo a try, their take out is just as good as dining in. Since the pandemic, we haven't had the opportunity to enjoy Kumo very often, but a couple months ago we gave their take out a try and have never looked back. Your sushi comes beautifully made, packaged, and labeled for you to enjoy. Tonight we once again enjoyed their rolls, nigiri sushi, and a tuna salad that was excellent. If you have a bit of spare cash and want to support a local business, I'd recommend getting some take out from Kumo. read more

I eat at Kumo probably 2x a month. It's my favorite sushi place in Fuquay. There are only a few in all of Raleigh I might give higher marks too but they aren't close by. My favorite time to eat here is lunch...and with the lunch specials the way they are I can't bring myself to eat here at dinner. The sushi lunch is $8.99 and that gets you 5 pieces of sushi and a california roll. And thus my dilemma...for dinner the sushi dinner is $16.99, pretty much twice the lunch price, and you get 7 pieces plus a roll....so I can't bring myself to come here at dinner and pay 100% more for only 20% more food... Regardless of pricing, the sushi here is on point. Sometimes I get rolls. Sometimes I get sashimi. Never have I gotten disappointed. They have yet another decent special at lunch...two rolls for $8.99 or three for $11...it even comes with a salad or soup. The place is rarely crowded which is crazy since it is so good and inexpensive. They don't seem to keep servers very long, there are a few in there that have been there awhile but the others keep leaving. Regardless of that, the service is always pretty good. This place would be ideal for groups since it's so easy to get a table. read more

So we came at 11:50 am on a Tuesday. No other customers were there. The hostess sat us at a booth and NOTHING for the next 15 minutes. No wait person came to our table. We had to ask the hostess if we were getting served so she took our order. We order 2 appetizers and 2 lunches. The fried squid was terrible. There were 2 kinds of calamari rings on the plate. 1 was soggy and not fried long enough and the other was over cooked. Our other appetizer was served after our lunches. Also, my lunch was supposed to come with a salad and I had to for it after my husband got his. After we finished our meal another couple came in and the hostess took their order. I guess there were no wait staff for the 1st hour and half of the opening of the restaurant. read more

Can't ever go back. Just got sushi from them, spicy girl and black dragon. Used to be THE place to go--no more. Spicy girl was horrible--hardly any shrimp, I do y know what that stuff was that was supposed to be salmon, more rice than anything. No flavor. Absolutely never going back. What happened? read more

Used to be one of my favorite sushi places but they definitely had a change of owners. Went last Friday and it was DEAD - should of been the first sign. Ordered the shrimp hibachi - took long to come out but when it did they only brought the shrimp and veggies "he's making the rice now" is what the server said. Took another 10 minutes but when it finally was brought out it was CHINESE RICE- the peas were still semi frozen. Absolutely disgusting. The service was not any better. It absolutely hurt to leave my $54 there when i could of went somewhere and it be 100% better. Never again read more

Kumo delivered my food an hour and 15 minutes before I requested it and then sold it to someone else at the location without telling me!!! I went to the restaurant to find out where my delivery was and all they said "sorry we didn't see the delivery time yet it was right on the screen she showed me" then she replied "we could remake it for you". So I then had to wait another 30 more minutes for my dinner. I was never offered or received any discount or for them to make it right! Poor customer service! I will not order from here again! read more

Kumo Sushi - Kumo pizza - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fuquay Varina, North Carolina

I ate here on a Saturday night with one other person. These are my thoughts and observations. - The parking lot is cramped. - The menu layout is atrocious. It's difficult to read and full of typos. - Our server was friendly and attentive. I didn't appreciate being sat in the corner with all the crying babies though. - We waited 15 minutes for our order. - My God, the sushi here is bangin'. You get what you pay for. Overall, I'd recommend Kumo if you're looking some bangin' sushi and don't want to dress up to go out. If you're trying to take your boo out for a high end dinner, this is not that. read more

First of all - crazy good lunch specials. Check it out! Now for my dinner - I really enjoyed this meal. We walked in at the very end of the evening. After checking with the sushi chef and waitress, we decided to stay. The service was excellent. The waitress was kind, full of great suggestions, and excellent with the refills. We ordered the seaweed salad, squid salad, and spicy crab salad. The squid salad was very good. The portions on all of the salads were tasty. The jalapeño Manhattan a was a surprise hit. The sushi was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We had the eel Naruto, Black dragon, and haven rolls. We each shared pieces of each. Each quite tasty. Overall - it isn't morimoto, but it is good and a great addition to the area. We will totally eat here again. read more

Meh. The food wasn't bad. But it wasn't good either. It was just sort of "there". Just sort of bland. It is too expensive for the quality. The hibachi chicken was on the sweet side. The fried rice was bland. The waitstaff was very friendly and polite. The place has a local restaurant feel and a generally good energy. read more

We were excited that there was a new hibachi and sushi restaurant coming to Fuquay as the other non causal one had failed to impress us. We were also tired of driving to Cary or Holly Springs for decent sushi. So we decided to give Kumo a go as they have been open about a week. Hostess tried to push for takeout instead of 25 minute wait. There were plenty of tables open but not enough wait staff. The hostesses were talking to each other saying "please don't come in" when they saw someone approaching the door. When anyone came in they tried to hold up a menu and push them towards takeout. We were seated after only 10-15 minutes. Then we saw that the horrible service extended into the wait staff too. We ordered two appetizers the calamari and gyoza (pork dumplings) and 4 sushi rolls. As we were ordering one of the staff interrupted and pulled our server to the side. Well we ended up waiting 35 minutes on our appetizers. Apparently they switched up our ticket. When they came out the calamari was like 6 rings of overcooked chewiness. The dumplings tasted just like the ones I get at Costco. There were also no appetizer plate provided. We had to ask for them and for a set of chopsticks as there were only one set on the table. They then tried to drop off Hibachi chicken to our table that we didn't order. Our server then looked confused when we told her ordered sushi. She then came back and told us they didn't have the ingredients for one of our rolls. Finally we got our sushi and it was good but the server didn't take the time to explain which rolls were which, just dropped it and ran. We then had to ask for plates and soy sauce dishes and asked for low sodium soy sauce. Our server told us that it was on the table. It was in a container (crock with pour spout) with no markings. Who knows if it was actually low sodium. My drink was then re-filled with regular Pepsi instead of diet. Because of our wait they didn't charge us for drinks. That's the only semblance of service they seemed to have. Hopefully they'll hire some competent staff and start serving fresh prepared appetizers. Then we would come back. The service ruined it for us for now. Two stars only because the sushi was good. read more
