    Beef teriyaki
    Jamie D.

    For starters, I've never been to this place, and my first impression wasn't great. I went with a group of eight, and a friend told me the sushi rolls were pretty good. The menu didn't feel very varied--it was mostly the same types of rolls (crab mostly) with different sauces. That may just be personal preference, since I tend to like shrimp rolls (either cooked or uncooked). When we arrived, we were seated in the far right corner. There were other tables nearby, but because we were a large group, it took a while for anyone to take our drink orders. We even had two separate servers come by to ask for drinks. Once we ordered sushi, that's where things really went downhill. We were split across the tables (four people per table), and although we placed our orders at the same time, half of our group didn't receive their sushi until about 30 minutes after the other part of us. It felt like the order process wasn't managed well. Customer service was also inconsistent. We had to keep asking for items we never received, like refills, and we didn't get straws. Even though the restaurant was busy, I've been to other sushi places on busy nights and never experienced service this slow. The only thing I truly liked was the appetizers. The beef teriyaki was the best thing I had--really tasty. I'd recommend that, but only if you have a lot of time to spare, because the wait for food and follow-ups was a struggle. When we tried to order dessert, it took so long for someone to come back that a few people ended up giving up and not getting dessert at all. Overall, customer service took far too long, and the sushi was just OK--not especially flavorful or memorable for me. The rolls tasted pretty similar, and I don't think I'll be returning.

    Spent over $80. Ordered a lot of food. Had 5 pieces left of sushi and was charged an additional $5 for LEFT OVER SUSHI. What an absolute joke and this place wasn't as good as I've had from here before. Will never be returning. Hope the $5 is worth it.

    So my wife and I went to this place this afternoon at lunch no one was in there which was surprising. It was very clean our waitress did not speak English well but she was so nice she went and got someone else to answer our questions fast that did. They were very attentive and polite I was very surprised at how good the food was and how fresh it was there was no over use of Sauce or rice we could taste every ingredient in each piece which I have to be honest was amazing best Sushi place hands down I have ever went to not just in Reno but in my life. So glad we found this spot. They also Nigri and it looked amazing we tried it did not take pictures but it was so good we loved it had a great lunch you have to check this place out I promise.

    Amazing sushi spot! The variety was what really stood out to me. They had so many raw options, which was refreshing since a lot of all-you-can-eat sushi places tend to focus heavily on fried or cooked rolls. I was especially excited to see more scallop filling on the menu! Finally something different from the usual mayo filled imitation crab! My favorite had to be the upside down shrimp with scallops (of course)! Also, the affocado! To freaking die for. If youre a coffee lover and want a sweet treat?! This is it! The restaurant itself is super cute, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    We have been here about 3 times. Its been very inconsistent with service. The first time was super slow. The next, was with a large group, and it was super fast. The time it was just my husband and I was so slow. We also sat down as the second table. They had a full staff and it took the longest. The food is good. I rate the roles at a 3, but note. I like simple sushi. So I tried the rolls just to try and see what they taste like. Its good if you like likes of flavor. It removes what people say is the fishy taste. I love the taste of fish. So I typically lean towards nigiri. I will amdit their sashimi salad as a 5/5. I loved it. I thought we could order 1 per round, but thats not the case. Look at the menu and its once per visit. The salmon hand roll is a 1 for me. It was not very crispy and hard to power through. So I dont recommend that, but they do a roll of it. So if you share with friends it might be worth while. The Niger I rate a 3.5/5. There was a lot of rice, but they also give a good size slice of fish. What got me was it didn't have that crisp taste when I ate it. Its hard to explain. The food quality is good. Don't get me wrong. Just the service and my simple taste buds. Its very popular and many locals love it. The lady was very sweet, when we got to speak with her. So don't let my rating and my taste buds hinder you from eating here. So give them a try.

    We went to Kuma Sushi for lunch and I'm glad we did because I already can't wait to go back! The servers were nice and quick and the ambiance inside was chill but upbeat and it was fairly busy during lunch but we did get seated right away. We did all you can eat and our favorite other than the nigiri were the shooting star roll and spicy challenge roll. The beef teriyaki was also really good and tender! Everything we ordered from the sushi to the appetizers was really fresh. We came for the sushi but we were really impressed with how tender, fresh and flavorful the beef teriyaki tasted. We will definitely be back here again! This may be our new favorite sushi spot in Reno.

    Out of all the sushi I've tried, this one stands out as the highest quality compared to other places. You can notice the quality in every detail even the presentation. The service was 10/10. We sat at the bar, and it was really enjoyable chatting with the staff there. The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but that's because it's always busy. One thing to keep in mind the wait can be long. However, if you don't mind sitting at the bar and there's space available, take it! Instead of waiting 45 minutes, you might get seated right away. Without a doubt, this has become one of my favorite spots for sushi. Thank you!

    Food's mostly fine for AYCE--nothing amazing, but it hits the spot. Just wouldn't go for the tuna sashimi again. Owner seemed a little distracted when we came in, no big deal though. Still, a simple "hey" would've been nice. Overall, okay

    Kuma Sushi is an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. They offer a large variety of items on their menu. We enjoyed most of the rolls we ordered and I felt there was a good balance between the amount of fish to rice ratio. I also didn't feel the sauces were excessive which I really appreciated. Service was attentive where they kept our water/soda glasses filled and our empty plates were removed from our table. It's a smallish restaurant, quaint and cozy. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and dine there again.

    What a yummy find while in Reno craving sushi. My fellow yelpers did not disappoint. Opted for AYCE. The portions were good everything tasted fresh. Servers were helpful explaining the menu. It had a very nice ambiance.

    When we arrived at 7pm during dinner rush, we were promptly seated. We made reservations ahead of time. Party of 7 people. The place is packed, and the place is small. The sushi is okay, some were delicious. I lost track of what I ate. I enjoyed their miso soup and their udon noodles soup. I like their soft shell crab . It could use a little bit of salt.

    Philly Crunch long roll
    Myrna S.

    We headed to Kuma Sushi for lunch the other day and although the restaurant was pretty packed; we there just in time when a group was about to leave, so the wait time for a table wasn't very long. They have a unique menu; I can fill up eating just their appetizers-- actually sushi places should offer an AYCE appetizer only option. We ordered a round of drinks along with a round of appetizers: salmon skin salad, tempura shrimp, baked mussels, popcorn scallops, agedashi tofu and fried calamari to start. After a while we ordered some sushi like the Philly Crunch long roll, a Mountain long roll, the Lobster popcorn long roll, a couple of salmon skin handroll and a few nigiris. The long rolls arrived at our table after a little while and everything tasted great. We ordered another round of appetizers: French fries and a double order agedashi tofu (because I really liked it), a cup of udon noodles (just to try) and gyoza, The appetizers were great. The only critique I have during this visit was it took a long time for our nigiris to arrive. The person who ordered it in our party just sat there and watched the rest of us eat while they waited for their nigiris; the rest of us were practically finished by the time the nigiris arrived. Other than the tardiness of the nigiri everything else was good: the food was delicious and great portions; the service was mostly prompt (except for the nigiri) and very friendly, the price was also reasonable for 4 people.

    Another successful trip to Kuma. This is becoming one of my favorite sushi spots to frequent. Their rolls are unique and have a twist to your normal sushi restaurant. Their fish is always so fresh and delicious. My favorite things to order are the Kuma, Larvae, and Volcano (baked). Their mussels are also super good. We came in on Sunday around 1pm. It was definitely busy but we were able to put our names on the list for 3 people. We were seated within about 15-20 minutes. We sat at a table and our food came out in a normal amount of time.

    I have been to many AYCE sushi restaurants here in the Reno area. I never understood how the fish…read morecan be so fresh out here in the high desert. But, it is! The service was very good. We were seated quickly. Now that can be attributed to the fact that we were early for dinner. We opted for a tabled, but there were plenty of seats available at the sushi bar. We only waited for a few minutes before the first wave of fish was delivered. Throughout dinner, we never had to wait long for the sushi to be delivered. The atmosphere was decent. It felt like it was more of a storefront than a traditional restaurant. But, it was a storefront and I don't care about that. I base my rating on freshness, service and cleanliness of the store. One thing that surprised me was the Kani (crab). I ordered it wondering if it would be real crab or imitation. It was real! I was happy and surprised. I ate my fill. Actually, I ate more than my fill. Enjoyed it completely. My sushi coma was justified. Freshness: 10 Service (dining time 3:30pm) : 10 Friendly: 9 (Anymore would be just awkward) Cleanliness: 10 Parking: 10 Bottom Line ------------------ Would I recommend O' A Sushi to friends and family? Yes. Would I go back there again? Yes.

So let's get the cons out of the way first. My son and I sat at the bar, and on the big screen against the wall, CNN FAKE NEWS was playing. Personally irritating, and I don't think they should be showing news shows from any side at a restaurant. We were in during lunch hours, and towards the end of our visit we were the last party there. That being said, clearing out our empty plates and getting refills wasn't very expeditious. I sat probably for about 15 minutes with an empty soda cup. I would understand if it was busy and at night. Disappointingly, lunch has its own separate menu, and you can't order dinner rolls for the lunch price, like you can at Ohana, Hinoki and other places I've been to and frequented. Now that, that's out of the way let's get to the rest of the review. I'm guessing the owners, we're super nice. We were greeted right as we walked in the door and chose our seats. Victor was our sushi chef. Great guy, and turns out some great sushi. The next time I go I will be sure to sit with him, but the other two Cooks were nice also. The entire restaurant, especially the bar area was spotless! I can tell they all take pride in what they do. My sin and I ordered probably 65% of the lunch menu. The quail egg shooters, whcih we ordered about a dozen total were SUPER good, and served in a modified Oriental soup "spoon" instead of a shot glass. Sort of awkward to eat, but doable and tasty. My personal favorite (lunch) roll was the "Crazy Dream" roll. SO many different flavor profiles. They had unique takes on some of the nigiri and appetizers, like the 'butterfly' and the tempura Jalapeno opposed to other sushi joints. So all in all, it was good enough for me to go back and give the dinner menu a try. When I do, Ill be sure to write an update! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

    Well slap my a** and call me Betty! Haha I have been eating all-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi in Reno…read morefor over 10 years now and this is the first place I've been able to actually taste how good the fish actually is. To be clear, this is not an AYCE sushi restaurant, and there's other offerings besides sushi including ramen, salad, steaks, and various teriyaki plates. Apparently the food is hand selected by the owner, and helped prepared by the Japanese wife in the kitchen. From what I understand, the line cooks follow traditional Japanese ways including only being able to make a sushi roll after being a line cook for 5 years. As for the food itself, these are the things I've tried: -Maguro (tuna) sashimi: absolutely delightful -Sake (salmon) nigri: really good -Unagi (Eel) sashimi: my favorite nigri, the unagi was so tender it was falling apart. Best I've ever had. -Kazo sake: the combination of all the textures and flavors made this one of my top choices. Think of eating it like a deviled egg, if you're able to fit the whole thing in your mouth, you can taste all the flavors at once. If not, it's still tasty and you can taste the pieces individually! -Mt Rose roll: the textures and flavors were really good! -Fire Ocean roll: Absolutely delicious, and spicy! -Spicy garlic edamame: I wasn't impressed. No crisp on the garlic. The garlic, sweet chili sauce, and edamame felt like they were all cooked separately and combined on the serving plate. The garlic seemed like it was from a jar, and the sauce from the bottle. -Tempura banana with strawberry mochi: we devoured this, the chocolate sauce made the combination of flavors pleasant. I wish the tempura banana had a bit more going on - more crisp and less batter. -Wasabi: the wasabi actually tastes real and not like horseradish!!! It blends into the soy sauce beautifully and it's creamy. Drinks -Sapporo with the Junmai Ginjo sake: light and crisp, really yummy -Honey Citron tea- delightful Service While our service was generally pleasant, we did end up going at least 20 mins at one point without any word from our server while waiting on food. We didn't mind, and it was nice to not be rushed, but some others may want to feel more taken care of. My only slight complaint is that I didn't keep my chopsticks after dinner for our dessert, but we just ended up sharing the one pair we had. It would have been nice to be reminded to keep my chopsticks or to be offered another pair. Ambiance The space is relatively large and Miyabi expanded years ago to accommodate a larger dining area. The only slightly confusing part - I wish it was more clear which door you enter from. The only indicator is the Open sign on the left hand set of doors. All in all, I really enjoy and appreciate good quality food, and while you are paying the price for it here, it's justified. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    I really want to like this place, but every time I go, I like it less and less. This third chance…read moreis probably my last. Sadly there were too many flies landing on my food and baby, I don't want to give them another try. The only good item I've found on their menu is the Mt Rose roll and edamame (for the black salt). Everything else has been a disappointment. The Sake bowl was not worth the price AT ALL. The tonkatsu was probably the driest I've ever had in my life. The lobster roll was also a rip off; it's covered in sauce so you can't even taste the lobster.

Delivery of orders to the table were ridiculously slow. Really SLOW! Although we had four diners all ordering 'all you can eat,', they never got a single order 100% correct. Orders from different people arrived on the same plate. I have never seen that before. Quality was no more than two stars. Mussels were not properly prepared (the beards were not completely removed). Saba was okay. The best thing I ate was the Unagi, but you are limited to one order per diner (doesn't sound like AYCE to me). The restaurant - actually the wife of the owner - tried to charge us dinner prices even though we arrived 40 minutes before lunch was over. It took nearly 15 minutes before the bill was corrected (one would think that the owner's wife would have had that authority). Instead we had to endure a 'who's on first' Indian comedy routine (but it wasn't funny). And the men's restroom was out of service during our visit.

I highly recommend siting at the bar, they were so fast and friendly. I loved that each roll was truly unique- not just different stuff on top of the same pre-made base roll. The sauces were flavorful, toppings generous. I am not a fan of the ginger here- in my experience the pink stuff is too dry and perfume-y besides being dyed that color. Drinks were great- we had a house sake and also a taste of a plum wine. It was a great experience and we'll definitely be back for another date!
