Kuma Sushi was a pleasant surprise. The ambiance is contemporary with a unique feel. The space is…read moreopen and airy, making it comfortable and inviting. One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

Had ordered from the restaurant before on DoorDash and this time I decided to pop in. I was…read morepleasantly surprised at how cute the space is. The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!

There were plastic chairs and tables. Plenty of seating available. People seemed to trickle in around the early evening. When I walked in they didn't have a line, so there was no wait. I ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls (with Beef) that was on their menu board. I think it was deli meat, which was ok, but not what I had expected. Tasted how you imagine. Even though I had it packaged "to-go," I chose to eat it inside while I waited on my friend to arrive. The lady behind the counter was very attentive and when she saw my sauce was low, she offered to refill it. I do wish the sauce had a stronger peanut flavor. Overall, it was decent.

I do know sometimes there are open tables and people can't be seated right away probably due to a shift change. There may be tables but no servers so people do have to wait sometimes. I did see a negative review about this but keep in mind, if you have worked in restaurants you would understand the principle about seating tables with no servers as they are closing out for the new shift servers to clock in. Also blocking the door is blocking the exit which is against code as it has to be clear for emergencies. All in all this place is amazing. The hostesses are so sweet and the servers are great. Will continue going.

Your platters, sauces, and rice are all at the station with the Kim chi and side dishes. The only missing were the big lettuce wraps and zucchini that I would usually get with the meal.

There's no service besides the occasionally change out of grills when it gets too smokey and if you dare to refill your meats to avoid a up-charge of $20 for having too much leftovers. They do get busy so I see that there are people who actually like the self serve buffet option.

You can't get the sauces you want and can only get 2 if you order a mini and the mini used to be bigger too and the price went up. The food is still delicious as I remember it but I think they need to allow more than 2 sauces or bring back the sauce bar again. At least they have happy hour M-F and on weekends. They've expanded their menu a bit too which is nice and I like that. I'll probably go again and ask if I can pay for extra sauce since I can only get 2. I didn't get any napkins or a fork with my food either.

I used the touch screen to order a Hawaiian shave ice with mango, guava, and orange passion flavors. I chose the lychee jelly and mochi toppings. The service was relatively fast and the server was friendly. The shave ice had larger ice chunks than Ululani's, making it so I had to stab the ice a lot with the spoon. The small plate made it sort of difficult to eat since everything kept toppling over. The flavors were quite good though especially with the vanilla ice cream on top! The orange passion was my favorite! Overall, I had a great experience and will be back next time I'm craving Hawaiian shave ice.
