a tray of rice and chicken
Dane W.

I love this place great Chinese food clean. Anything I've gotten it's good I get chicken fried rice or General Tso's chicken. Service is good there is a translation gap once it's overcome no problems.

Mongolian Chicken
Tim C.

Exactly what I expect from a take out Chinese restaurant! Mongolian chicken was great and Egg rolls hit the spot. Will be adding this restaurant to my regular rotation

Sesame Chicken
Zuri C.

The service wasn't the friendliest but the food was hot and fresh. I called in my order ahead of time, and it was ready when I got there. I ordered sesame chicken with fried rice. It came with an egg roll. The portion was very large, so I shared it with my son.

I'm all about trying different Chinese restaurants across town when I find myself in the area and this restaurant was no exception. I'm glad there wasn't any other customers in the restaurant since it wouldn't be a wait for my food which I ended up ordering my usual which is chicken with broccoli and a hot and sour soup. Like I mention, it didn't take long for my food to cook and when arriving home, I noticed there wasn't any egg roll in my bag. At first, I was assuming they forgot to put one in the bag, but after reading the lunch menu, it mentioned that it didn't come with an egg roll and that a crime in my book. Regardless of the food, the chicken with broccoli and the fried rice was good, but the hot and sour soup was the highlight of my meal. It had a good amount of vegetables and spices to knock over a sore throat.

DRY! So very very dry. I'm keep giving them "one more try" because they used to be good. Just can't do it again.

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.

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.

I love the food. I love the staff. I love the managers. Good vibe inside too. SUSHI IS AWESOME. I…read morelike how the lighting inside is kind of calm and darker.

The restaurant itself is also fairly large with a lot of seating a few TVs and a nice dark-wall ambience. In the past, I've had Gen. Tso's chicken with fried rice, which I highly recommend, but today I wanted to do something different so I went with Kung pow chicken, which ads nice fresh vegetables and peanuts to a spicy chicken mix. It's a bit less sweet than General Tso's. I also had egg drop soup which was pleasant and mild as an appetizer. I might want a bit more rice delivered with my meal, my friend today asked for a second rice serving with his dish, and mine was a little short on the very pleasant fried rice. We had terrific service from our waitress, she was helpful and attentive and friendly. After your meal explore the grocery store. There are a lot of unique food opportunities in the cavernous grocery store, and, believe it or not, there's a ping pong tournament space in the back. A fun and fascinating visit.
