Having exhausted most of the nearby options for takeout sushi, my wife and I reluctantly tried Kumo for a recent weeknight dinner despite the so-so reviews. We ultimately enjoyed our meal and will likely try it again the next time we need a change of pace from our go-to spot. The menu possesses a vast array of rolls, the majority of which hover between $15-18. Seeing the prices of the rolls and not knowing what to expect, we ended up ordering six, which ended up as too much food for the two of us. We found the rolls all well constructed and with generous quantities of the fish. The rice itself was passable. The sliced fish quality was decent, and we found the salmon and tuna particularly fresh. The "spicy" fish in the rolls left something to be desired in both the degree of spice/seasoning as well as freshness. The rolls all could have used a bit more saucing, but we enjoyed them nonetheless. The prices here are very reasonable, especially if you order online which yields a 10% discount. My order was prepared more or less on time. Overall, we liked what we sampled and will return in the near future to sample more rolls. Kumo does not quite supplant our usual sushi spot, but it's a welcome addition to a takeout rotation and worth a shot for roll lovers. read more

We have been going to Kumo Sushi since it first opened about 14 years ago. It is the best sushi restaurant in the entire DMV area!! The quality is top notch. The service is wonderful, they treat us like family every time we go in! It is also very family friendly, and Mia is the best! If you haven't been to Kumo Sushi please go! read more

Kumo sushi never disappoints! Annie is amazing and kind every time we speak with her. The food is fresh and high-quality too, definitely would recommend just to try it out! read more

The food was okay. I saw it had great reviews so I was excited to find a new good sushi spot in the area. Honestly, I'm disappointed. I got two roles, both tasted the exact same and fairly bland. I can think of tons of other spots in the area where the sushi really impressed me. The ambiance is really nice and the service was fairly quick. There was only 3 occupied tables with a fairly small group. I ordered: The Hot Girl 6/10 Kiss of Fire 6/10 I'll give them a try again but next time try other sushi and their hibachi. Maybe there were having an off day. Tip: They have lunch deals for great prices during the week. Lunch ends at 3pm I believe read more

This is my favorite go to sushi spot in the area. Service is always excellent. They're usually pretty busy so make a reservation ahead if you're planning to eat there for any special events. They do have enough seating but usually it's taken. read more

I was very happy with this as a local place to try! Got nine pieces sashimi a tuna roll, and miso soup for 25 dollars before tax and tip. Tasty and reasonably priced! read more

As a frequent sushi eater- I can confidently say that this is my number one favorite sushi restaurant in the area. From the vast selection they have on the menu to the always quick and efficient seating/tabling- this is the best. I have been going to Kumo Sushi since before the pandemic, so for at least 4 years now and haven't had a bad experience. I highly recommend the incredible huck roll (middle round dish in photo), that is a crowd favorite! I also recommend trying their cocktail drinks (not pictured) as I've had a few over the years and they're delicious. While the price range isn't cheap, the quality and experience make up for the price in of itself. I tend to come on birthdays and anniversaries to make it feel even more special for the higher price! Overall: I continue to come back and always recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family! read more

Love the rolls here! Very consistent and a great takeout spot. You can't go wrong with any of the rolls, the katsu is also always nice and crispy and juicy! We love our neighborhood sushi restaurant! read more

Would recommend. Good food and reasonably priced for sushi in the area. Sushi also seemed fresh.

Reston Foodies Facebook page recommended this restaurant so one evening my dining partner headed out to Herndon to check it out. It seems to be in a really nice area - part of an outdoor walking shopping area - and once we found it, discovered there is a lot of parking in a large lot right across their door. It's bright, clean, and spacious inside. Service is fast and friendly. Sadly we weren't that excited about the food. The salad was overdressed and our sushi was meh. We didn't order anything fancy - maybe that's why? Also the teriyaki tofu dish was entirely deep fried - yech. If I knew that I would have tried the hibachi tofu, I hope that's not deep fried as well. Maybe we didn't order the fan favs. read more

I come here often and always have a great experience! The sushi is fresh and there are tons of creative specialty rolls. We got one with thinly sliced apple in it which was delicious. I brought my 4 year old for the first time and I kid you not he said "why is the waitress so good??" read more

Kumo Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

KUMO is BACK!!!! Today, we celebrated a birthday at Kumo in Herndon and we all had a great experience. The hospitality and service was excellent. The servers were super friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Rock Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers(our favorite was definitely the Rock Shrimp!) For our shared entrées we got the Love Boat for 2 , Dragon Roll, Incredible Hulk Roll, and a Dancing Dragon Roll. For a table to 5 people, we could not even finish all the delicious sushi in one sitting. The sushi chefs did a great job with plating and making everything feel so fancy. Price is really reasonable and the quality of fish is superb! The reason I said "Kumo is Back" is because they have been closed during the pandemic and recently just opened up for dining for a few months now. Totally recommend this place for a warm and enjoyable family sushi night! The servers also gave us ice cream on the house! So sweet of them. We're so glad we finally got a chance to come back after a few years! Also my husband said his Filet Mignon Hibachi entree was by far better than other places! Go to Kumo for Sushi! Must try!! read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed Kumo in the past. This is our favorite sushi place in the area. We love their creative list of rolls, with flavors that compliment the fish rather than hiding it. Having been going here (primarily for takeout) so long that we still order the "2011 roll" regularly. If you dine in, the presentation is also creative and artistic. I highly recommend trying it. Sorry I don't have any pictures to share. Our favorite rolls include: -Godzilla -2011 -Herndon -Hot girls The rock shrimp appetizer is also tasty. read more

Wonderful waitress, tasty sushi, and most entrees come with a pleasant Miso soup or Small salad with a refreshing carrot-ginger dressing. (Not the Mayo version some stores have started using, which I am very thankful for). They also provide a piece of orange at the end of the meal as a delightful palate cleanser. My wife and I come her regularly for quality sushi at a reasonable price, and wonderful service. PS, becuase I know this is a silly thing to care about, but they have these wonderful high quality paper napkins that are very satisfying to use; and in this rare instance I prefer them to cloth because it means I can clean up my Soy sauce drips without guilt. read more

Came out this way for an errand and stopped here. It is bigger on the inside and a cozy chic vibe. The staff was singing on and off and just enjoying themselves while it was slow and when they weren't busy w their customers. The sushi was so good! Great portion, fair price. Hope to come back again soon! read more

I love love love Kumos sushi! I at least have a sushi night with my girls once a week and Kumo has never disappointed. I typically love getting their dragon roll or spicy California roll. Everything on the menu is delicious and I can't ever get enough of their sushi. read more

This place was very good. Went there on a Monday night around 8pm and very few people in there. This let us get great service. The udon noodles tasted great, just a slightly bit oily, but still very good. The sushi & sashimi was well presented and tasted perfect. The waitress did a great job and super attentive. read more

Their food is amazing every time! Best sushi spot in the reston/Herndon area. They have fantastic cuts of fresh meat, unique recipes, and hits the spot every time. . 10/10 recommend. Great food, great service, and great spot (very cozy and intimate). Definitely comfort food! read more

A great neighborhood sushi place with an extensive menu with hot and cold offerings. Modern, sleek decor a pleasant ambiance. Wait staff is friendly with Attentive service, water is filled timely. We ordered an assortment of sushi rolls and sashimi. Sashimi was fresh. Chicken Katsu was fried optimally. We had ice-cream tempura and mochi with green tea ice cream. The mochi skin was stale when it should have been soft and chewy, this usually means it's been sitting in the fridge for awhile, hence, the 4 stars. read more

Pretty good, I'm only reviewing based on takeout, I had unagi, spicy tuna and hamachi sashimi and felt underwhelmed by at least the hamachi and tuna. It just didn't taste fresh. I tried the Godzilla Roll which was tuna, avocado, salmon roe and unagi sauce. It was deep fried as a full roll and sliced. It looked good, tasted great except for the fried portion which felt plastic like. I'll give them a shot in the restaurant but overall wasn't impressed. It was delivered quickly and the price was lower than expected. read more

Found this place on Yelp with great reviews. Have it a chance and wasn't disappointed. It was early and relatively empty. Service was fast with great recommendations. I ordered a mai tai and underestimated the amount of alcohol but the drink was decent. I fell in love with their sushi and enjoyed tre overall atmosphere and service. Looking forward to returning. read more

I was craving some sushi tonight, and the place I would normally frequent was closed so I decided to try something new! I started with a hot tea (which they kept filled for me) and a bowl of edamame while I perused the menu. I don't typically enjoy fried or cooked rolls, so I tried a couple of their appetizers including the Yellowtail Jalepeño. I wish I took a picture of that one because it was beautiful and delicious! Highly recommend that dish. The yellowtail was thin sliced, tasted fresh, and was complemented by the Jalepeño and sauce in the dish. I then tried the black pepper tuna appetizer. I would also get this one again (remembered to take a photo, finally). Last I had the black pepper tuna roll, which was very good. It had fresh cucumber and dashes of a very light sauce. Of the three, the yellowtail Jalepeño was my favorite dish, but I would order any of these again. The service was wonderful, I was able to take my time through dinner and not feel rushed at all and everything was brought out very quickly. read more

We are in town for a wedding and were in the mood for sushi after spending the day in Washinton DC. We found Kumo Sushi in Herndon and we are so glad we did. The sushi was great and the service was great as well. They just reopened their dining room after being just take-out during covid. The sashimi deluxe platter was outstanding as were the Cindy and Spider rolls! Run, don't walk to Kumo Sushi. read more

Mediocre at best... I ordered their spicy salmon roll (good), their rainbow roll (really unimpressive), their 10 piece sashimi box (half good, half bad) and a red tobiko sushi (bad). Salmon is my favorite sushi by far and their salmon quality wasn't great which ruined the salmon sashimi and rainbow roll for me. Luckily their white fish was actually great, which they gave me 4 pieces of in the sashimi box (their saving grace). What ticked me off the most is that they put 2 small pieces of imitation crab in the sashimi box and tried to play that off as 2 of the 10 pieces of sashimi? I'm sorry but that's the biggest scam ever. And the imitation crab wasn't even good. Oh and they forgot my miso soup, so really not happy with this place. read more

I ordered takeout based on the reviews, but I was extremely disappointed with my chirashi. None of the fish was fresh. Half of it was a bit dry on the outer edges, and I basically forced it all down, because I was hungry and well, this was my dinner... I can't think of a single bite that was enjoyable. Even the rice and tomago were a dry. I can't imagine I'll be ordering from here again, unless I get something non-fish related, like unagi don. read more

Ordered pick up (no dining), and chose 3 sushi specials. I thought the fish tasted fresh and the sushi was well made. Good consistency of rice and everything stayed together. Presented nicely as well. The price point is on the higher side for the sushi specials and the fried rice was $9 for what seemed to be pretty small. Will try other spots nearby to see comparison. read more

EDIT: RUN. YOU'LL GET FOOD POISONING!! If you scroll up, they have 4 health code violations. Need I say more? I've been here twice. Both times, I got food poisoning. I was desperate for sushi in the area and this place still had great reviews so I thought I would try it out again and see if that was just a blip. As SOON as I ate the appetizer (rock shrimp), I knew it was not fresh. But I ate it because I was starving. That was mistake number 1. Mistake number 2 is that I ordered sushi rolls. I also ordered only sushi rolls the first time. Both times, awful food poisoning. I should have left the food and not taken it bc the sight/smell of it made me nauseous and I wanted to barf (and no, I am not pregnant). I chucked the leftovers in the Harris teeter trash can bc no one deserves bad quality food. Taste is also severely mediocre. Every sushi roll tasted the same. And it did not taste fresh. Come at your own risk. I've had sushi before. This is not sushi. This is straight up food poisoning. read more

I ordered take out from here based on the glowing reviews, and maybe they were having an off evening, but I was extremely disappointed with my oder and thought it would be worth giving a fair, but honest review of why. I ordered a shrimp tempura and a spider roll, 2 of my all time favorites across restaurants. At first glance the rolls did look a little different than I was expecting but I figured each place has their own style of execution. Well when I started the shrimp tempura roll, I was extremely underwhelmed with how **little** shrimp was in the rolls, and how **much** cucumber and lettuce I was tasting. When I pivoted to the spider roll, I unfortunately was equally as disappointed to taste mostly cucumber, lettuce, and a bizarre fishy flavor (there is no fish in spider rolls). Upon further inspection, my spider rolls were rolled with some sort of soggy, but fried fish. I have really never had such a negative experience with sushi but at the end of a long day, I was really hoping trying this place out would be a good pick-me-up. I tossed the food out without finishing. Just wanted to share with others since the positive reviews led me to order from here. I may try them again in-person. read more

Ordered doordash 4/25/23 only to have an extra $26.50 added to our order for avocado being added to our basic salmon rolls while en route to pick up our order. Spoke with a manager at the restaurant and he confirmed this amount was incorrect and asked that I reach out to doordash as they could not do anything on their end. DoorDash then stated that the restaurant confirmed over the phone they charged the correct amount and no refund or corrected amount would be charged. Ridiculous business on both Kumo and DoorDash's parts read more

Food has declined in quality and they seem to have premade the rolls because they come off super fast when I went at 1:30. Rice was a little hard on the outside meaning it wasn't fresh. I've been going here for 6 years but I'll never go back. Quality is bad and they aren't friendly anymore. Go elsewhere read more

I had a carry out order, the food was ready ahead of the time and quality of the food is good. Definitely a go back.

This is the best sushi I've had in a while. I ordered carry out of your typical salmon roll, California roll, shrimp tempura roll and spicy tuna roll and it was all delicious and fresh. The food was ready in time and the pick up was easy. I will be back! read more

Ordered delivery via door dash. The food I received was actually flavorful. However, not sure what it was I received. Originally I order beef sukiyaki ( $16 hot pot) and I received a call that they were out, so I ordered the chicken. What I got instead was basically a chow mein with thin noodles and a bowl of miso soup. I was hungry and it tasted good, so I ate it anyway. I wouldn't consider it a hot pot, the miso soup and noodles were basically separate meals , so it was odd to receive them together. Shumai was flavorful and fresh. It was neatly put together and the filling was delicious! I would order from here again, but I would probably stay away from their " hot pot" $16 meals that aren't really worth it. read more

Unfortunately I have to agree with the other review written today about these rolls being incredibly bland. I ordered two rolls and an avocado salad and my order came to about $55 so this wasn't the quality of fish I was expecting for the price. My salad was very good and fresh so I had high hopes for my rolls. The dancing dragon roll was incredibly disappointing -The tempura shrimp might have been the smallest shrimp I've ever seen in a roll and the spicy tuna was actually offensive. It had zero flavor zero spice but had the look and smell of canned tuna. The Kani was overpowered by the sesame oil it was swimming in. We each tried one bite and tossed the rest because we questioned the quality of the tuna. The amigos roll was better but also on the bland side - I was glad to have a roll I didn't feel obligated to toss after a bite. Hoping I ordered on a bad day if this is what other reviews say is the best sushi in the area. read more

Kumo used to be a 4 star place but they have gone down significantly in all categories. We've ordered here many times in the past both take out and dine in. Tonight sealed the deal and we will not be ordering here again. The sushi rice was chewy (and possibly old?) as was the nori. 6 rolls and an app for $100, the price doesn't match the quality. The order took 40 minutes to fill yet there were only 3 people in the restaurant?? Tuesday at 6:30 and 3 people...maybe everyone else is getting tacos. read more
