Late review: We…read moretraveled to Lake Charles and had planned to sample some carnival/fair food at the Louisiana Pirate Festival. However, the food choices were very limited. We researched restaurants in the area, but most were closed or had limited hours on a Sunday. Umami was the only restaurant with good reviews that was open at the time. The food was ok. It was definitely better than Hana Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill in Natchitoches, but not as good as Geisha Sushi Bistro in New Orleans. We ordered: Tuna tartare Spicy tuna roll Spicy salmon roll Hamachi nigiri Tuna nigiri Steamed shumai There's 24 photos that should be posted with this review.

After a disappointing experience at another Japanese restaurant in the Lake Charles area, we…read moredecided to try a place in Moss Bluff called Umami Kumo -- and I'm glad we did. The restaurant appears fairly new. It's on the smaller side, but very nice -- clean, neat, and welcoming. From the moment we sat down, it felt like a completely different experience. The sushi portions were generous, and every roll we ordered was full of flavor. Honestly, I was surprised. In a smaller town like Moss Bluff, I didn't go in with big expectations -- it was mostly about convenience. But this place exceeded them. We had a great meal, and while the bill was about what you'd expect, the quality made it absolutely worth it. If you're in the Lake Charles area -- and even if Moss Bluff isn't somewhere you'd normally think to go for Japanese food -- Umami Kumo is definitely worth a visit. Give it a shot

This is the absolutely best TOP TEIR sushi in the lake Charles area . Nothing beats the quality ,…read morethe prices AND the atmosphere . It is most definitely the freshest raw and cooked fish I've eaten in the area !!! The service is amazing as well , they always have smiling faces and welcome in each individual EQUALLY . I'm big on customer service so I love that even if the sushi was bad , the customer service always makes up for it, but I gotta say the sushi is NEVER bad . At all times of the day it's fresh and the price is always fair . Even the other items on the menu such as bang bang shrimp fried rice, vermicelli bowls, and the rice bowls are each very excellent. I LOVE the pandan latte it's so delicious and not to sweet , I highly recommend that you try it ! Each day at around 6:30 or 730 I believe the sushi is 25% off, which is great because they hate throwing it away and they want to sell it and sometimes they just even give it away because why throw out perfectly good food you know ? They make the sushi fresh every single day you can even get sushi made to order if you don't want what's in the refrigerator box but it's all still extremely fresh . I come here at least once a week with my fiancé and we love the place. i've never had tuna tartare but I tried it today and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. You'll see in the pictures. I'm gonna post !!! Thank you sushi boxx for being such an amazing restaurant !!

Our family sat down and my chair (out of all the chairs) and it made me lean forward and had to swap chairs. Waiter did get our orders for our drinks and gave us our salads and soups while we waited for more people to show up. We are a healthy family and 2 of us do NOT put lemon in our water. And we ALL love water rather than sodas. The WATER WAS AWFUL AND HAD A BAD AFTER TASTE. I even asked for bottle water which I would have paid for but they do NOT SERVE THE EASIEST THING CORRECTLY. Now the 2 of us need a soda. I waived and waived (my waiter was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND) and finally asked for 2 sodas and they sodas NEVER SHOWED UP... we were eating salads and the cook is here now and we STILL have NO DRINKS. After waiving to another waiter (not ours) I stated again and finally we received our sodas. Since I have a tough time swallowing I need drinks and my soda was empty instantly and it took forever for them to refill it as I had to repeat the awful process of getting a waiter. Waiter has vanished and barely see him. The cook was awesome and entertaining but I was do distracted talking to waiters and trying to survive (swallowing because I can choke with no drink) I missed very good parts of the hibachi because of this. Also when the cook got there we ALL had to move seats because one of our family members feet were constantly sliding because she sat at the end (by the cook) because the GREASE MADE IT VERY SLIPPERY Fix the water as it was awful and UN-DRINKABLE. And please have waiters NOT VANISH and especially purposely turn their back to you as they take other orders. Yes that happened also. And clean the floors.

We were at the casino for a concert, and wanted to go to Johnny Sanchez. When we got to JS's, for some reason they had a very limited menu. It was basically just appetizers and a burger. That would have been good for me, but my companions wanted more. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food, so I ordered veggie fried rice, Mike ordered the aforementioned TSO chicken, and our friend Ruthie had beef with broccoli. She said it was good. The service was average. Not attentive enough for me-I had to flag her down to get to-go boxes and the check. Like I said: meh.

Went tonight and did the all you can eat and they put a sliver of fish in their roll more rice than anything. I miss the old sushi guy. Then the waiter was definitely on something, kept brining us the wrong food, wrong drinks, sat next to my girlfriend when I started complaining? Then the booth in front of me started complaining as well so we just left completely and went eat else where . you lost a loyal customer for sure. Sorry, but that ruined my night and I went somewhere else to eat all you can eat for 27 instead of 25 but at least they filled up the rolls with fish I should've took a picture. Not the one to do this but it has me livid with my experience

Food is great. Service sucks. Sat down, waited 10 minutes…read morewith no interaction at all. Meanwhile the server in the section was making time with 2 ladies... visited their table 3x. Walked by me 2 tables down and on the way to wherever he was going 3x without even a glance at me. Asked the hostess for a waiter and was immediately visited by a different young man. Initially very attentive. Got my order in. Got my sushi roll. Soon after I got my entree (chicken katsu) ... but that's all I got. No rice, no salad, no miso soup. No service after that either. Another 15 minutes passes and finally the manager on duty passes by and asks if everything is ok. Well... no, it's not. Got a 50% discount, which is fitting since I only got 1/2 a meal. Might try it again... food was worthy of a 2nd visit. But the service is ridiculously below par. You can hear the waitstaff and other restaurant staff yapping it up in the kitchen having some lovely conversations... which means the patrons are being ignored

However, the 3 stars are for those things alone. I ordered the spicy garlic edamame and it was old and cold. I ordered filet mignon hibachi and the rice had so many of what I'm assuming are sesame seeds and it was so salty I couldn't eat it. The noodles had no flavor at all. Even the spicy mayo wasn't great. I literally took a couple of bites of each thing and threw it away. It simply wasn't worth eating. I probably should've given it just 2 stars but I truly appreciate the look and cleanliness of the restaurant and the kindness of the staff.
