   Food was enjoyable. Service was subpar. Some dishes not delivered from kitchen after reminding waiter twice of missing plates. Nice ambiance, noisy by design. Would try again on a slower night.

   Beef skewers were incredibly tough and cold for 35 dollars for 2 skewers and Brussels sprouts were cold greasy and salty. Place used to be better

   Went with my boyfriend on a Saturday night with a 9PM reservation. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate us immediately. Appetizer: We had the spicy rock shrimp tempura to start. Being a fan of spicy food, I found it to have the perfect amount of spice. It was airy and fried to perfection. Entree: As an entree I had tempura chili lobster. That was served with glass noodles. The sauce it comes with was amazing!! So flavorful and a bit spicy as well! My boyfriend had the A5 Wagyu Striploin and pork belly boa buns on the side. He said was really flavorful and he was a huge fan of the sauce it came with. Service: The overall experience was great because the waiter was friendly however, compared to other high end restaurants I’ve been to the service was a little slow. Not sure why they weren’t that busy but who knows. It wasn’t bad I just found myself wanting things like a straw, or another drink and having to call for his attention rather than him just periodically coming around. Overall I would still come back because the food itself was amazing.

   The service was quick, the waiters were ok…. Not the best and the food was just fair. I ordered the mushroom tofu and it was a block of tofu. The sushi was just ok

    For a high end restaurant the staff was nice but untrained for that type of restaurant- I had to wait for 20 min before I received my glass of wine and when I finished it it remained empty until I flagged my waiter down to ask for a another glass- my server took a while to bring me my second glass and didn’t notice our water glasses had been empty the entire time- empty glasses should be filled by the bussers or other staff whom were playing and hanging out at the wait station instead of supporting their servers- The food runner came to the table and asked if we ordered this dish then we said we think so and then he went back to check took the food then came back again- They also gave us one of our main course sides with our appetizers- I ordered the Black Cod and sent it back immediately because it was chewy and over cooked- When I was sent a new one it wasn’t that much better- this time no flavor and still over cooked- Black Cod should flake and not be chewy- All the Staff were polite and nice, they were just incredibly inexperienced for a high end establishment and the Management is to blame- They need more training—— Ambiance was not as nice as it seemed online- Kind of felt like a bright cafeteria- Wouldnt recommend this restaurant if you were looking for a dressy evening ambiance or good service- This is more of a daytime vibe——

    Have not had a worse experience than our dinner at Kumi. The service was horrible and the manager was not helpful. Would not recommend this restaurant. It took over an hour to get a drink, we were given “free” rolls and then charged for them.

    Kumi Japanese Restaurant & Bar is a must-go-to place, not just for the beautiful atmosphere, but for the food - which is some of the best Japanese I’ve ever had!!! Also extremely noteworthy is the care and attention of the staff who are intent on making dining here a five-star experience. Jeronie and Andrew were so professional, and attentive and made sure that our dinner was an over-the-top night. When given the choice, this restaurant is a no brainer .... and I can’t wait to return!

    Kumi was a charming restaurant with a welcoming staff. The food was good, but a bit overpriced for the price tag they wanted and what the taste was. It is a nice space for any celebration and the food is good enough to warrant a visit by any fan of Japanese cuisine, but for the price it might not be for everyone.

    We received our meal in reverse. We ordered a bottle of saki, two appetizers, and three sushi rolls. We were given our appetizers and sushi, then once we had finished our meals we received the saki. The server said the bar was very backed up but it was one bottle and she should have ensured we weren’t without drinks for the entire meal. She did not check on us until we were finished with the food so we couldn’t even ask where our drinks were. Very disappointing

    The chicken katsu sandsos were outstanding, the bbq boa buns were very tasty and nigiri was super fresh and perfectly seasoned. The ambiance was a bit too much - loud music more appropriate to a bar than a restaurant (distracted from the food and not relaxing) and a tile floor and mirror decor that felt cold. The servers were super attentive and helpful, but artificial with all the stock questions and phrases I'm sure they were trained to say.
