    This is our go to sushi spot. The food is great. Service is okay nothing memorable as the server took a while to bring drinks out.

    2. Shrimp Tempura Moonshine
    Yessica R.

    Just went this morning for lunch with my son. We both loved it and definitely feel like we got a lot for our $$. Our total came out to $60 & we got 3 rolls, 2 drinks & chicken teriyaki bowl. The rolls we got were Moonshine ($15.99), California roll ($7.99) and I don't recall the other but it was ($9.99) it was on their specials. We were served very quickly too probably because we were the first customers of the day but overall the waitress was nice and helped me choose our third roll. Definitely will come back. We didn't feel rushed at all and we enjoyed our time. They also had a movie playing so that was cool too.

    Came here for lunch. The ambiance was a very dim and moody area. You're automatically greeted by the chef and waitress upon walking in. Ordered 6 rolls between my fiance, daughter and myself. Came out to $120 including drinks which isn't that bad compared to spending the same price on 5 rolls at another place. The sushi was overall of good quality. We loved the super hungry roll. We also liked how miso soup and edamame were included. Wouldn't mind coming back!

    This was my lunch spot when I used to work for the county in the same parking lot. This is a very small, friendly Japanese restaurant, clean and welcoming. The chef is a nice old man, gave us an amazing appetizer on the house. One waitress but sweet, and fast. The lunch came very fast. We ordered 5 rolls, see photos. Every single roll was delicious.

    Food and service is amazing it's also a very calm environment and overall a good atmosphere

    Chicken teriyaki bowl. Yum.

    Lunchtime. Stopped in for the first time today. Place is on the smaller size, but is clean, and spacious enough to eat comfortably without being cramped in. Flat screen TV for entertainment. Waitress welcomed us in and was friendly, couple of people sitting and eating. Not super crowded on a Tuesday afternoon. Our order consisted of 3 iced teas. 1 glass of Merlot wine. 1 order of the Las Vegas rolls. And 2 orders of The Chicken teriyaki bowls. When they brought the drinks, they also brought a little bowl of snapped peas as a complimentary appetizer, which is nice, but we didn't care for them to much, preference thing. Soup came with the teriyaki bowls, which is what came out next, not sure what kind of soup it was but it did smell funky and had like a layer/glob of mushy cream like consistency in it, like water mixed with oil, if you just let it sit there for 1 minute without touching it, it would separate... Just odd. So next came the food, we could see the chef making the Las Vegas rolls up front at the counter, but they ended up serving them at least 8 minutes before the chicken teriyaki bowls came out, so one person was half way done, before the other two got their food. Las Vegas rolls were delicious though, cooked freshly upon order and were basically deep fried California rolls, had a nice light and crispy coating with a generous amount of filling, also drizzled with a couple types of sauces. 10/10 The chicken teriyaki bowls were also delicious, rice was soft and sticky, cooked to perfection, the chicken was tender and coated in teriyaki sauce, the veggies consisted of broccoli, carrots and onions and were soft but firm, cooked very nicely. My only complaint with the bowls were they didn't have enough veggies!! I saw maybe like 4 pieces of broccoli and the carrots were shredded thickly, but we're very few as well. Still giving it a 9/10. The iced teas were refreshing and the wine was on par. Food came out all in a decent amount of time too, waitress was very accommodating throughout the entire meal. Prices are a lil steep, 70$ for everything mentioned. Not too bad for 3 people I suppose. Wish we could have enjoyed our appetizer and soup too, but we were coming for the teriyaki bowls anyway. Lol I recommend this place for the Vegas rolls and chicken teriyaki bowls. Enjoyable experience overall. The end.

    Miso soup was so small. Tasted okay, but watered down. It was lacking real miso flavor. Tempura veggies were good, not too greasy.

One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!

Instead, I'm paying premium prices to sit under fluorescent lights and question my life choices. The "Combo" Math that Isn't Mathing Then there's the pricing logic--or lack thereof. Why does a chicken and steak combo cost 20% more than the steak plate alone? * Standard Logic: A combo price should land somewhere between the cost of the chicken and the steak. * Kyoto Logic: "Since you want both, we're going to tax your indecisiveness." Either they have zero respect for their customers, or they're catastrophically bad at math. I'm betting on the latter. Honestly, I could buy a Blackstone grill for the cost of three or four visits to this place. The "Service" (If You Can Call It That) To top it off, the customer service is abysmal. The staff acts personally offended by your very existence. Even the older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--is the worst of the bunch. He radiates a vibe that says, "I hope you choke on that brown rice." Final Verdict: This is the last time they get a dime from me. I'm taking my business to my backyard.

I'm glad we did, because it gave us a whole new feel for the place. Inside isn't massive, but it's not cramped either. Think of it like the Goldilocks of restaurant spaces: just right. The vibe leans calm and cozy, dim lighting, black walls, and splashes of color here and there. It's got that "peaceful sushi zen" atmosphere without being boring. Our waitress deserves a medal (or at least an extra roll on the house). She was the only one working the floor, yet somehow managed to be friendly, attentive, and efficient all at once. Multitasking level: expert. Now onto the food, which is really why we came back. We ordered a spread: two teriyaki chicken plates, one chicken ramen bowl, an order of sushi crunch rolls, egg rolls, a large pineapple sake, a beer, and two iced teas. (Yes, we came hungry. Don't judge.) Everything came out quickly, hot, and fresh. The chicken was juicy, the rice perfectly cooked, and the little bed of veggies under the teriyaki chicken was tender-crispy and surprisingly addictive. Whoever thought of tucking those under there deserves a raise. The ramen had bold flavors that hit the spot, and the sushi rolls lived up to their name, they really were crunchy and delicious. Now, the egg rolls. Let me tell you, these might just be the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and stuffed with flavor on the inside. The kind that makes you regret ordering only one plate. Drinks? The beer was cold (and surprisingly affordable), the iced teas were strong and refreshing, and the pineapple sake... well, it was different, let's just say it's not everyone's cup of tea. Personally, I'll stick to tequila, lol, but my husband happily claimed the sake as his new favorite. Win-win. Prices here are fair and budget-friendly, which is always nice to see at a sushi spot. The place was clean and well-kept, and I'm happy to say it still holds up just as well as when I ordered takeout years ago. Bottom line: Shoyu Sushi is still doing its thing, fresh food, good prices, relaxing vibe, and service that makes you feel taken care of. If you want sushi that crunches, teriyaki that comforts, and egg rolls that just might ruin all other egg rolls for you, this is the spot.

These are fried octopus balls with a delicate crispy shell and a creamy interior with perfectly cooked octopus.

This time we opted for the salmon rolls which have pillow soft steamed buns, perfectly cooked moist salmon, eel sauce, and sweet slivered carrot. They are light and delicious with an order of two making a wonderful appetizer for the both of us. My husband ordered the Bulgoji bowl with savory and tender beef atop sticky rice. It is beautifully seasoned and not spicy which I love because I can actually enjoy it. In general bulgoji is too spicy for me so this is a wonderful discovery. My choice of chicken Ramen was also a win as the broth is rich and savory and the noodles have a great firm bite.

I ordered the 5oz New York Steak ($29) lunch teppan meal and it comes with fried rice, assorted veggies and miso soup. The food was prepared in a timely manner and my steak was cooked to the medium temp I ordered. It was super tasty and flavorful, but definitely on the heavy and oily side. The portion was large enough that I had leftovers for a subsequent meal. My coworkers who had chicken and shrimp versions of the experience also enjoyed their meals. Just to level set for expectations on the portion size. The gents finished their food, and the ladies had enough to take togo. Overall it is a splurge for a lunch but a good deal for teppan. Not something I would frequent because the nature of teppan can be oily and heavy, but I wouldn't mind coming back when my coworkers are in the mood for some teppan.
