    What a good find in OR, right behind Walmart and Home Goods. Prompt, efficient service. Both times, we have ordered to-go and the online ordering system has been down. Upon calling in the order, the pick-up time has been about 30 minutes...short enough to not keel over in hunger and long enough that you know it will be made fresh. The to-go orders are pilled on a table by the entry desk and there are a few benches to wait on. The interior and exterior vibe is a bit random and dated, but the food makes up for it. We will likely stick to to-go. We ordered: -Chicken and Steak Hibachi Dinner: really tasty and well-cooked. We order it without onions and they don't skimp on the zucchini, broccoli, or mushrooms. Great grilled flavor with subtle touch of sesame oil. -Shrimp tempura roll (added avocado): Perfectly cooked and tightly rolled. Avo was a good add! -Dancing Shrimp Roll: tasty combo of ingredients, but moreso a crab roll than a shrimp roll. It had thin slices of shrimp and avo alternating on top of roll. -Sweet potato Roll: Ordered both times and both times undercooked, hard potatoes. Bummer. We will avoid this roll. -New Roll: the spicy crunchy tuna and sauce were unique touches and not too incredibly spicy. Really liked this roll! -Side salad: If you get an entree, it comes with salad. No need to order another. I appreciate that they add both cucumber and carrot. Wish they actually cut up the lettuce instead of a few huge chunks of iceberg. Note that the ginger dressing is tasty but fairly thick and chunky. Depends on your preference. I really appreciate that you can add ingredients to your sushi rolls. I often add cucumber, avocado, and eel sauce to rolls and they are always accurate and tasty. In a city packed with fast food chains and Mexican restaurants, we will come back here often.

    My Wife is a huge Hibatchi fan and was craving it tonight. We found Kume on Yelp, liked what the reviews had to say, and decided to try it for ourselves. Although there was a little difficulty (due to differing accents on both our parts) in placing the order over the phone, the employee was about as friendly as a person can be. A genuine care for good customer service really stood out in this quick interaction. The order was ready when they said it would be and the two employees inside the restaurant were just and friendly and pleasant as the guy on the phone. Although this was a take out order I did notice that the atmosphere was nice and the place was spacious and clean. The food smelled delicious riding in the back seat all the way home. Upon unveiling the meal and sinking our teeth into it we could see that this positive experience was gonna continue through the cleaning of the plates. Both my wife and I really enjoyed Kume and immediately placed it in our rotation of food options when anywhere close to Oak Ridge.

    Seems like they were closed for a few months not long ago. Now this. They used to be super busy but…read morenot as much anymore. Come on, do better. This health score is not good. https://www.wate.com/news/food-for-thought/10-pounds-of-food-tossed-during-inspection-at-maryville-restaurant/

    Thanks to our Knoxville Yelp Elite buddy (when that was a thing) who is also gluten free for…read morerecommending this as a place that "might" have vegan options! We were greeted promptly and cheerfully and seated. When we asked our server for possible vegan options he grabbed us a vegan menu. Practically unheard of in the Knox area! We ordered both the asparagus and peanut & avocado rolls to share. The peanut & avocado roll is outstanding and something I look forward to ordering in the future! He got the Mixed Vegetable in Vegan Brown Sauce and added tofu. He was asked if he wanted fried or steamed which is a nice touch. I got the Broccoli Mushroom with Tofu. Both were delicious. I got a 4 out of 5 spice level which was perfect for me. If I'm feeling especially risky, I might try the 5 level one day! Our server was very helpful and answered my questions about the menu for "next time". They have brown rice...yay. Also the Fresh Mango with Sticky Rice also happens to be vegan...sometimes restaurants that serve this "coconut milk" dish also add regular milk, but the kitchen confirmed it's "just" coconut milk. We've driven past the building hundreds of times, and it's a rather unassuming building. But, once inside, you're transported to an Asian decorated restaurant that reminds me of others I've been to. We went at dinner and the portions were huge and we left stuffed, and decided next time we'll share one dish with an extra order of rice and get the sticky rice. They also have a lunch menu, which doesn't have any vegan options, but our server said you can order from the dinner menu at lunch.
