    Christmas Roll (top) and a shrimp tempura roll that I forget the name of
    Mackenzie T.

    One thing about Kume: it's reliable. I've gone here probably 20+ times and I've never had a mistake in my food or bad service. It's always just right! The sushi is great- nothing too fancy but it's yummy. My fav is the Christmas roll. The hibachi is really great too. I especially love takeout because they make it quite easy and seamless. Their drinks are delicious as well! We loved the virgin piña colada despite it being in the middle of winter

    Tuna Tempura roll

    the last time we were hereI was disappointed in the calamari & soft shell crab. They were way too over fried. The calamari was too chewy to eat. So they took it off the bill. The rolls & sushi were very good. This time, I asked for no white fish on the Daryl Dixon roll, but extra topika, it was outstanding!! I also tried the Tempura tuna roll. It is a new favorite. The tuna tataki was chewie than last time, but after my husband's sushi came, I realized that it had been Toro, which is the prime tuna, but usually melts in your mouth. It tasted good but was way too chewy. My last visit, the tataki, was perfect. My husband's sushi was beautiful, fresh, with big portions. Although toro was chewy. We will definitely return next time we are in Augusta.

    I have been to the Kume in Topsham, ME a few so I wanted to check out their August location to see if the quality of food matches their Topsham location. It did in my opinion. The location is sort of tucked away in the back of an area where there is many retail store and restaurants once you navigate the windy road of Stephen King Drive. Nobody knows how to drive this road so be on the defensive. This location has two sections of the restaurant, the hibachi side where you are entertained by their talented chefs while eating and the dining side where you are waited on by their staff. I chose the dining side which was a short wait as it's a smaller dining room. Appearance was well kept, bar is quite large, had a large fresh water fish tank and all staff presented as professional wearing masks. We started with the Pork filled Gyoza which is a pan fried dumpling and they were delicious. Nothing disappointing with them. Dumplings had plenty of filling, nice pan fried with one side being crispy and the other pillow soft from being steamed. The sauce was complimentary to the dumpling. We then dove into two different plates. The first one was the Red Dragon Roll. It is Shrimp Tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped w/crunchy pano and spicy tuna. It has a little spicy kick to it, but not overpowering at all. This has been one of my favorite sushi rolls from Kume. The second plate was the Maki Combination which is 3 different rolls: shrimp tempura roll, California and spicy tuna. I had no complaints as all ingredients were fresh, cooked well and nicely put together. I mixed up some soy sauce and wasabi which I dip my sushi rolls into to add additional flavor. I had no complaints as all of them were plentiful and satisfied my craving for sushi. Staff was very friendly, professional, always checking on us to ensure our experience and the quality of the food was to our standards and in some cases overly polite, but I understand that is their culture and upbringing. If I find myself in the Augusta area craving sushi, I will stop by here again. It's worth the visit.

    Delicious! Friendly and attentive servers and fresh, tasty food. Loved the Kume roll and dragon egg. Will be back in the future.

    I'll start with the positives. Service was great. She was by herself and did a great job. It was a…read morequiet night with only a handful of customers, but she was on it. The place was clean and nice. And the foods flavor was good. Now, the bad. While the flavor of the food was good, the food itself wasn't. Everything was extremely dry. We got the hush puppies to start and the sampler to try a little of everything. It was like a desert it was so dry. The hush puppies, chicken, ribs, brisket (which was more like pulled pork because they shred it for some reason) corn bread, and somehow both the coleslaw and baked beans, too. The only way this happens is if they make things earlier in the day and then everything just sits. Meaning it's not freshly made. As I mentioned, it was not very busy, so I'm assuming they make their food in advance and let it sit in pans over heat all day. Which is not what you do with BBQ. It's quite disappointing because the flavor is there. The spices they use were a southern flavor, which is good; but it's so dry, you'll be reenacting the scene from Christmas Vacation just to eat your food. They should consider either limiting their hours they are open to help not have food sitting around to dry out or reconsidering how the make their food. Dry BBQ is the worst, hopefully they'll make the appropriate changes.

The bread is soft and doughy, the cake is rich and can be shared between multiple people. The steaks were cooked medium and they were perfect and they melted in your mouth. I got the stuffed haddock and it was fantastic! I personally would like a little bit more stuffing, but it was amazing. We walked in and everything was spotless and the bathroom was very clean as well. It was very welcoming. Our waitress was very good. I have seen a ton of bad reviews on this place saying that the weight staff was terrible and I don't know what the hell they're talking about because there were two waitresses working and I watched both of them. They are working their butts off.... none of them had an attitude, and I noticed our waitress peaking at our table and we were having a conversation as a group so she made sure our drinks were full, and things were out of the way and did not interrupt us. She looked, and then she left once she realized we were fine. We have zero complaints as a group about the food, the staff, or anything else. We had a delightful time and we will be back for sure. We have lived here for three years and have been avoiding this place because of the yelp reviews, and I am so glad we decided to go because if the food and service is like this every time we go, we will just keep going. People who are complaining about the price need to get over it, things are expensive now and you get what you pay for. We paid a pretty decent amount of money to have a good experience with good food and we are not sorry. Sidenote : we have a very autistic 6 foot tall, teenage boy with us and I do take him to the restroom, he needs help sometimes, and I did not get any nasty looks or any comments made to us and nobody made any comments about him at all. You would be surprised how important it is for me to say this because a lot of the times when we go out to eat, people make comments about him whether it's him making a noise or doing something they don't like. They treated him the exact same way they treated us and I could not be happier about it.

Lots of beers on tap to try including local beer from some of Maine's finest and a good selection of mixed drinks and wine of courser. The food is standard pub grub. I've had eaten here for years and the food is consistent, portions are generous, and you certainly won't leave hungry. There are stick-to-your-ribs bangers and mash, the Guinness stout beef pot pie is popular (comes out with a puff pastry topping the size of your head), and this is one of the few places in Maine where you can get a Scotch Egg. I like the Cornish pasties myself - they taste like grandmas home cooking. I recommend starting with the highland bites with a tangy mustard sauce to dip in or the spinach artichoke dip with lots of tortillas. I was in a big group on my last visit and we all just ordered a bunch of apps and nom'd on them family style. Wings were amazing too, cooked well and seasoned perfectly. The servers are super friendly, your drinks and food comes out quickly, even when they are super busy. This makes a great lunch stop for working professionals in the downtown businesses. They offer live music regularly and on those nights it can get loud, not the best if you want intimate conversation. But, if you want rollicking Irish music around friends and beers - this is the place. The establishment is fairly large so they can accommodate groups, and there is a screened-in deck (that is also heated for winter dining). The atmosphere is similar to what you'd expect in a local Irish pub. TV's scattered around the place, the benches at the long large tables appear to be repurposed church pews so that's neat. They definitely have local regulars and the owner is usually around, everyone is welcome here and you will have a good time while eating and drinking with your crew! Plenty of free parking in lots, the street, and the nearby parking garage, handicap accessible.
