Kumi - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

See all

Not one to eat at buffets often, but Kumi delivered fresh food, accommodating staff, and cleanliness. They had many options, but my favorite was the grill! You could have your steak grilled right there to your preference. Apart from this, I enjoyed the ramen bar and the steamed buns. Of course, I tried the fresh crab but overall left completely stuffed! My family really enjoyed it, so to have a full, satisfactory response is always a win in my book. read more

They have a TON of stuff. Nothing was particularly good. It's kind of like Cheesecake Factory - if someone in the family wants sushi, and another wants Chinese and someone else wants bbq and a fourth wants seafood...have I got the place for you! But other than that situations there's nothing good enough to be worth coming back for. read more

I have a huge list of buffets that I have tried and I am meaning to try. This is hands-down one of the best I've ever experienced. They have almost everything you can ask for in a buffet. There's loads of sushi being freshly prepared as well as hot dishes and hibachi. My favorite is be the steak section. They also offer takeout and a special price to just fill up the box with as many items as you can. Highly recommend this place! read more

It's was just ok for me. It's overpriced. I think it's expensive because of the seafood they offer. There isn't many Chinese options. Mainly seafood and the ramen bar. Probably won't be back. read more

Amazing buffet!! So many options, the crab rangoons are the best I've had at any buffet, general Tao chicken is so tender and flavorful, the kumi fried rice is spectacular! We were greeted upon entrance. Our server, Rob was great and quick to check in us every moment he could. Spacious environment with plenty of setting and TVs for entertainment. The only downside was the steak I requested from the grill as medium well came back medium rare, and took awhile. Besides that I will definitely be back for more!! read more

This was our first time visiting Kumi for lunch and it's an easy 10/10 experience! From the moment we walked in, I noticed how clean everything was--definitely a step above your typical buffet. The food was fresh across the board, but I especially loved the sushi. What stood out to me is that they don't just pile up trays in the morning and let it sit all day. Instead, the sushi was constantly being made fresh, and you could tell the difference in both taste and quality. I also loved that they rotate the menu and even let you order on demand from their menu--such a unique touch for a buffet. The service was quick and respectful our waitress always greeted us with a smile. At $20 per person for lunch, the price felt more than fair for the quality and freshness we got. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back. I'll definitely be recommending Kumi to my friends and family. read more

Great variety of seafood, sushi and beef options. This was my first visit but I will definitely be back! The seating are was new and clean with multiple tv's. My favorites from the buffet were the salt and pepper blue crabs, hot snow crabs, cold snow crab and the steak. This location also had included sushi to be ordered by the roll and a ramen bar. My server was very professional and attentive. read more

Service was phenomenal! Our server, Mari took great care of us and explained the menu and options for us! She was very attentive and kind/friendly! The food options were incredible! From sushi to noodles, rice, seafood broil, desserts and so much more! Ambiance is casual and the aesthetic is minimal and very well designed! I ate so much and I definitely plan on returning! They offer military discount (fyi) which is so awesome! We definitely took advantage of that. Pricing is very reasonable for the amount of options you have and what's included!! read more

I loved the food, the place was clean, we stayed til closing and it was so much fun The staff was amazing and seated us quickly, they were really accommodating the big group I was with you can chose to order sushi or so the buffet or do both So worth it though definitely coming back read more

Kumi had great service! Server was on top of cleaning plates and refilling drinks. We made the trip to Kumi because of good reviews and for the price there are definitely better buffets in the area. The food was overall alright, some of it seemed like it was sitting out for a little (visited on a Friday @6pm). Would have loved to see more choices but it was overall clean and okay! Again there are better choices in the area but would go back. read more

Amazing buffet Clean, friendly, service goes beyond to help and answer your questions You pay after you eat Best part is you can order your own sushi from the table! Lunch prices awesome especially when you add the senior discount which is for 60 and over but tell the server beforehand, when you look as good as we do, they won't automatically apply! Lol Lots of dim sum boa items but no shrimp dumplings today, why we came All else is great We don't do much meat so all the seafood was great You can pick out your own steak to cook in back where the personal orders are for noodles read more

Overall it's a really good choice if you can't decide between sushi or a seafood boil, and you can easily eat your worth. Lo mein, fried rice, stir fry noodles, egg roll, I'd say they were a bit bland. The hot food bar is just mediocre, what you would expect from any other buffet. The chicken wing was pretty juicy and flavorful with a nice crunchy crisp though! The section that impressed me was of course the seafood/sushi. The seared salmon nigiri here was my favorite, and I would go as far as to say it's the best I've had from a cheaper sushi spot (even tops Kura Revolving Sushi to me)! We really enjoyed the crawfish, and stir fried crab. Lots of garlic, and flavoring for the crawfish boil. The crab was soft but had a delicious batter to it. There was a LOT of food here I definitely didn't take pictures of everything. There was a whole meats section too where you could choose a steak piece to be cooked fresh. read more

Since Wan Fu closed many years ago, I've tried to find another Chinese buffet to frequent. I have tried other restaurants but they didn't fill the void. After seeing generally favorable reviews about Kumi, I decided to pay them a visit for lunch. The building is impressive and quite large. The same can be said about the variety of food options. I was astounded by the number of choices offered. I found the bourbon chicken, wonton soup, egg rolls, and mushrooms to be the best parts of my meal. I did try beef and broccoli and Mongolian beef, but I found some pieces to be overly chewy. Our waitress was friendly and kept our cups well filled. The price for the buffet was $20. Seems a little on the high side, but given the amount of food options, I think it is reasonable. I will definitely come back in the future. read more

This place deserves 5 stars. The ambiance was out of this world, lighting, seating & the actual buffet set up. The cleanliness was over the top. The selection of the dishes is everything. If you LOVE seafood & ALL you eat this will be your go to. I never been to buffet with seasoned crab legs, mussels, lobster tails etc. Everything was good. Omg fresh sushi, ramen. Jenny was amazing she showed my family & so much love. She's so awesome. We will spread the word & will be coming back soon. For a party of 5 - 1 adult & 4 children - $106. read more

Good selection of seafood, sushi, and typical Chinese buffet items. Sushi rolls can be ordered and made fresh. Disappointed by the lack of stir fry dishes....only saw beef and broccoli. Enjoyed the crab legs, seafood boil and bbq ribs. Ramen bar with choice of noodles, pork belly, egg and pork or chicken broth. Dessert selection could be improved. Great service...servers constantly removing plates and refilling drinks. read more

I am not a big fan of buffets, but my family wanted to come here for Christmas Eve dinner since everyone would have something they would probably be happy with. I was pleasantly surprised on the amount of food and the quality of the food provided. You can order sushi rolls with the waitress on top of the ones that are available on the buffet line. My favorite was the sunrise roll. They have plenty of seafood, including Dungeness crab. I was overwhelmed with the amount of food that I wanted to try and taste. You can't go wrong coming here. We had a great waitress. She always had our cups filled with tea or water. She came by often to ask if we wanted more sushi rolls. I definitely happy with the service. Parking is on site. When we arrived, it was pretty full, but as this is a buffet, people come and go quickly. The place was clean and everyone was accommodating. read more

Good food with great service! Cannot complain about this place at all. I took my family a few times there already. We like the place.

Went for lunch and it was so worth it! Didn't even have the stomach to try half of the food because there were just too many delicious options! My first plate was hot seafood dishes. Packed to rim and everything was delicious. Second plate was just sushi and sashimi. Again, completely full plate and delicious. Excellent service, delicious food, and if you go for lunch it is just a great deal. New favorite buffet in the city. That's all, y'all! read more

Like others I feel it did not live onto to the hype. The highlights were the service and the option to order sushi to the table. The lowlights being lukewarm food and overly sweet food. They had a huge seafood selection hot and cold but lacked in main and side dishes. Some people come to the buffet for sport and we simply are not those people. We probably got two plates total. I tried a little bit of everything and nothing was quite worth going back for seconds. read more

Kumi - Buffets Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Came here for my brother's birthday and I was pleasantly surprised. As you walk in and through the restaurant, you'll notice how clean it is and how friendly the staff is. You have two price options, one for lunch and one for dinner. Not bad considering the amount of food/seafood you get access to. Once seated, you will be given a menu to order specific sushi rolls other small bites if you don't want to venture to the buffet line or don't see what you want. Other than that, you start your journey through all the serving counters with all the food they have, and I can't list it all, but I concentrated on the crab legs (cold/hot), shrimp (cold/hot/fried) and various sushi rolls. The food was good quality, fresh and tasty. They also have a desert counter for some sweet treats. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Kumi and left with a full belly. I would come back just for the seafood selection. read more

This place was horrible for the price. $30 for sub par food. 4 of us went and I've seen more food selections at smaller Chinese buffets in town. Most food was already cold or overcooked and chewy. We went right at 7pm for dinner and it was pretty empty. Never going back. Save your money. Limited vegetarian options. You would think with Chinese food there would be more. Not one tofu option. Horrible sushi. The seafood was terrible. The steaks they grill are the size of a 2 fig newtons. Avoid this place. $130 for 4 people. Never again! read more

I've been to a lot of Asian-themed buffets. This place was one of the freshest and cleanest ones I've ever been to. And the quality was very high. The sushi was delicious and not skimpy on fish. I didn't try everything but it all looked good. I am very happy I wasn't disappointed! read more

Wish it contained more fish. Ramen (chicken or pork broth option) 2.5/5 Pork was alright. Was comforting and tasted like congee with salty savory hints. For desert gotta have some CAKE! Overall it is worth it to go once but to be honest I would go somewhere else another time. Service 5/5 fast and all accomodations were satisfied. Ambiance Casual. Family friendly. read more
