I ordered the Level 4 (out of 5) Hell Ramen for $18. I would have ordered the Level 5 ramen, but it was $32 (more on that below)m The Level 4 was quite spicy which was to be expected. They also have $5 draft Sapporos. The Level 5 Hell Ramen costs almost twice as much because it is part of their Hell Ramen Challenge. If you finish it in under 30 minutes, your bowl is free, you get your picture on the wall (they'll post your picture even if you don't finish it, but they'll mark you as an 'L'), and you get $50 in CASH (no lame gift certificate here).

The pricing is a bit more expensive for the ramen in Chauncey, but the experience and the food is good so it makes up for it! I would return in the future.

The food was amazing! It's hard to choose from all the options but we managed. It was nice that the menu accommodated a few with dietary needs or preferences (aka, picky eaters, lol ). Some of our favorite dishes: - Takoyaki .... yum! - Gyoza - Crab Rangoon Rolls: - Sweetheart (tuna) roll was delicious and was the winner overall! - Fire tuna roll - Lava roll - Nigiri and sashimi We also ordered regular rolls like the Alaska roll and spicy yellow tuna. Not a single piece of sushi was left over and everyone was quite satisfied ! Definitely a place to go for anytime you want sushi, and especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant looks very nice and clean and service is great. The menus are large but don't give an explanation of what things are (such as takoyaki = octopus ) but it was all delicious.

I understand that tipping is something everyone expects- but it isn't required if i didn't like the service or food experience. However it doesn't give our waiter the right to chase us down in the parking lot and demand a tip. Very uncomfortable knowing that this is what the establishment trains their employees to do. Not everyone is as nice as I am when they have people running towards them and their car! UNSAFE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

One of them was close, but still messed up. Missing toppings and topping added that shouldn't have been. The other roll was completely wrong. Pretty sure we were given the wrong roll. The seaweed inside was hit or miss. Some of it was pretty hard to bite through. Just very underwhelmed

The basic, Nutella, Hot Cheeto, and my sweet potato were all crazy tasty and too easy to eat. We even thought about going again later for a midnight meal. It is a smart setup, both cash with the human or card at the screen to order. Parking is a problem with all the construction. I recommend parking back in the big lot near Buffalo Wild Wings. Hope to see more menu options show up soon, treat gluten free, offer pressure cooked nutrient conscious, and show off more veggies in the batter. Kuma is one of the places I'll recommend to all!

Service here was friendly, but the food did take awhile to come out. The soup, salads, and sushi/sashimi came out first. The fish here was very fresh and pretty good. Two of us got their dinner combo sets. This came out last, about 30 mins after ordering. However, portion size was very large, and most of it was pretty good. The combos do come with a stir fry of vegetables though which was basically a waste of space in the bento box. The tempura was slightly soggy. It also mentions a "fruit salad", which was just a slice of cantaloupe. Overall, an ok Japanese restaurant for the price.
