    I love sushi village! The staff is always so nice and helpful, the food is yummy, and the prices are good! I usually get a hibachi meal or bento box, and a specialty roll. I've never had anything bad here!

    I always get my order to go and the service is consistently fast. The sushi is the not the best I have ever had but it satisfies my sushi cravings. The only other item I have tried here is the chicken fried rice. It was average as well. I heard the Chinese selections are good so I plan to give that a try. The 4 stars represent fast service, reasonable prices and convenience.

    I love this little place! It's small on the inside so don't even think about coming with a group bigger than 6 because 8 would be PUSHING it. I always get the sushi because it is SUSHI Village lol! It's always great and so cheap! I got 2 rolls (8 pieces each) for $8.95 during dinner time! Fried rolls aren't included in this deal, though. I got the spicy shrimp and spicy crabmeat rolls which were great! If you're alone just sit at the little sushi bar and they'll take your order pretty quickly! Enjoy!

    Service was quick, food was hot. Great selection of sushi and other meals we had the Godzilla roll, house lomein and fried gyoza dumplings and it all was delicious.

    The food is always pretty good. However, I had a friend that worked there. The servers do not get the tips. The tips go to the store.

He was prompt and very matter of fact-low energy type. I couldn't tell if that was just his personality or if he didn't want to be there. We had two children's drinks, water for the adults, vegetarian lettuce wraps, California roll and bang bang chicken as starters. The lettuce wraps were good, more lettuce than filling. California roll-so small! Chicken was moist but oddly served on a bed of chunky lettuce-like the insides of the lettuce cups. Updated:apparently there is a bang bank chicken salad. Our entree was the vegetable lo mein add tofu. The kids menu has no vegetarian options and doesn't allow for tofu substitutions so we ordered a miso soup and the Japanese soup separately. The portions are absolutely individual. The lo mein was pretty good with a nice variety of vegetables. Our bill was separated by seat with individual tax for every person. For what was mentioned above, our total was $78 which is honestly much higher than I anticipated and for the portions. This place definitely is more about the fluff it seems. There were grease prints on the headboards at the seats and the bathroom floors were sticky. The decor was very basic. For the price and product, wouldn't go back.

Our waiter was very personable and up beat for a rainy Thursday night. There were 20 in our party and of course we had to sit in 2 different grills, but were in the same area. Our cook was amazing. He was very engaging. I did not order from the hibachi. I ordered the Trussville roll and gyoza. Both were good. Now lets talk about the hibachi. Several people in the party was very disappointed in the taste of their food. There was a total lack of seasoning. Matter of fact there was no season at all. Needless to say the manager was called and several meals were removed off of the bill. The graduate in our party asked the cook if he could put some kind of seasoning on the food and he said no. No salt pepper etc.... I do understand that some people have dietary restrictions but there was no one in our party like this. They even when so far as to ask for some garlic butter for the steak. I did taste a piece of the steak and it tasted like nothing. If you're looking for hibachi, let this be the last if not on your list.

She's an amazing bartender--super friendly, helpful with recommendations and kept the space spotless. She turned a 4-star meal into a 5-star experience. * Fish Quality: The sushi and fish quality were impressively fresh. * The Rolls & Ramen: Both rolls recommended by the Bianca were well above average and the ramen exceeded my expectations. * The Rice (Shari): A bit of a letdown. The rice was too mushy/wet and the portion of rice per piece was way too large. * Pork Bao: Not worth the mention (or a photo). Skip this one. Verdict: 5/5 stars. Mostly thanks to Bianca's top-tier hospitality. Solid Japanese spot in the heart of Downtown.

    I was working in the area and decided to grab lunch before heading back to the office. I searched…read moreYelp to see what was good nearby and this place had great reviews, so I gave it a try. I ordered online and was able to walk in and pick it up with ease. The online order estimated about 25 minutes, but my food was ready in closer to 10 to 15 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I even snapped a couple of photos while using the restroom and grabbing my order. Dining in would definitely be a very enjoyable experience. Another plus is that there is plenty of parking that is free and easy to access, which made stopping in stress free. The lunch deals are great and the portions are perfect. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I would absolutely try this place again when I'm back in the area.

    When you walk into a "sushi" restaurant, you never know if it's going to be a legit sushi place or…read morenot. Kumo Sushi & Asian should really just stick with "Asian". It's definitely Asian, but it's not very good. In fact, it was downright horrible. I asked if the Shumai was freshly made in the back or frozen. He answered, "Frozen." Then, I asked if the gyoza was freshly made or frozen & he answered, "We don't make any of that there the back." So, basically - this place just buys frozen Asian foods and then heats them up. So, I decided to go with something "safe" and I ordered the agedashi tofu. Agedashi tofu is a Japanese dish, but this place is clearly not a Japanese-owned restaurant because it was called "Age Tofu" on the menu. Sadly, when they brought it out, it was drowning in some sort of sauce that was not doshi broth. I also ordered the General Tso's chicken because I figured that maybe they'd do a better job with a Chinese entree. Nope. It, too was drowning in sauce. And, the thing is - I love Asian sauces. But, I want to taste the actual protein, too. The chicken was overcooked and I think they thought that the sauce would hide it...but it did not. The other funny thing is that the General Tso's dish came with an egg roll and fried rice. The egg roll appeared to be previously frozen, too because it had that "reheated taste". Oh - and fried rice is supposed to have a lot of vegetables in it. My fried rice had like 3-4 specs of carrot. It was horrible. Finally, the two pieces of broccoli that were part of my General Tso's chicken were also frozen and reheated. NOTHING about Kumo was fresh. This is lazy & disgraceful. Since Kumo was now 0-8 on fulfilling menu items, I figured I'd get a mango mochi dessert. Dang - they put so much whipped cream on it that you couldn't even find the mochi. Basically, this place was so disappointing. I had leftovers because it was so bad & I couldn't finish, but I wouldn't even feed the leftovers to anybody I know. Gardendale needs a better option.
