    Sushi
    Michael S.

    Always love a quality all you can eat sushi I went with my brother in law to see how it compared to Sushi Palace because that's our usual go to. Inside is nicer set up than them. Service I will say is pretty mid. I eat at least 8-10 rolls each time and you can tell they were getting annoyed with us. Less options than sushi place though. Our waitress kept asking us if we were sure we were going to finish each order and checking in to ask if we were done. Don't offer all you can eat if you don't expect people with a big appetite to slam food Quality 3.5/5 Inside 4/5 Service 2/5 I'll be sticking with Sushi Palace

    AYCE SUSHI

    If you're looking for AYCE in Somerville, Kumo is the place to go. Their sashimi is actually decent quality for an AYCE. They fill their rolls with too much rice but that's every AYCE place. I actually prefer Kumo over Sushi Palace in Somerville because the quality of the sashimi and avocado is exponentially better. I've had some brown looking avocados at Sushi Palace. Also, the seating situation at Sushi Palace can feel so cluttered. The seats in Kumo are more spaced out and comfortable (especially by the booth) whereas in Sushi Palace the tables feel so close to one another.

    This was a great experience with good all you can eat sushi at a great price. The food was all around great with tons of options and great special orders. The ambience was very comfortable and quiet. Service was pretty good, but the turn around on our food definitely slowed a lot for our second round of food. I recommend checking Kumos out if you like sushi. Everyone had a great time and I look forward to returning.

    Variety of Sushi Rolls

    This was ordered through a third party. The ordering process was efficient, and the food was delivered in a timely matter. The menu had options ranging from sushi rolls to hibachi to noodles to bento boxes. The prices were a little much, but not terrible. 6 sushi rolls were ordered. See below for thoughts on each. All of them had a great presentation and each roll was constructed nicely. Alaska Roll ($5.95) - This was solid, lots of flavor with the salmon, avocado, and cucumber. Treasure ($14.00) - This consisted of tuna, salmon, avocado, snow crab, tobiko and crunch that was wrapped in soybean paper. There was not a lot of crunch here and was somewhat dry, but the fish was pleasant. Pink Lady Roll ($12.00) - This had spicy tuna and avocado as a filling with salmon on top. This was tasty, but not too spicy. Lobster Mango ($13.00) - There was spicy lobster on the inside with sliced mango, avocado, and eel sauce on top. This was a nice combination, but the only issue was the lack of mango present. Valentine ($13.00) - This had spicy crab and avocado as the filling and was topped with salmon and avocado. This was probably my favorite as there was a slight kick. I really enjoyed the spicy crab flavor with the salmon. Sumo Roll ($5.95) - This had a crispy calamari, mango, lettuce, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. I was most intrigued to try this one, but it was a little disappointing because of the lettuce. It was too overpowering. The calamari was crispy when it could be tasted. Will I go back? Probably.

    Fairly amazing that an all u can eat restaurant is also has made to order service. I was expecting to roll in (pun intended) and find a conveyer belt of items that had been prepared god knows when. Instead, I was delighted that everything was prepared fresh! Other all u can eat places would limit your choices to basic items, but we had access to all the premium rolls too! The Kamikaze roll was overwhelming for me with its tempura pieces and giant size. I was much more in the mood for refreshing rolls like the Jersey Girl and one that was wrapped in a green, cucumber paper? The winner for me was the sashimi. You have to try the "White Tuna" and the "Red Snapper". So fresh, so juicy, and so flavorful. Each fish has a unique personality that isn't really appreciated when it's cooked. Other standouts: spicy seaweed salad, stir fried noodles, and miso soup. To finish things off, go ahead and order all 3 of the ice creams. Again, for an all u can eat situation, I assumed these would be mediocre. I was wrong! The ice cream was creamy, super tasty, and was so premium. I've never liked matcha ice cream or any matcha flavored things but this ice cream was fantastic! The flavors were subtle. The service was excellent! Super fast and efficient. The food was filling up our table faster than we could eat it, and we were running out of room quick! Ambience: very chill. Muted blue lights, comfortable seating, and an oddly eclectic playlist featuring Rihanna's greatest hits...I loved it.

    If you NEED sushi and don't want to spend more than $30, this will satisfy a quick craving and also make you not want to eat sushi again for a while. All the rolls here taste the same after a piece or two. Definitely not the freshest. They don't have ponzu sauce or fountain drinks. The food is very slow to come out, and the service isn't great. It's edible, tho. FRIDAYS, they offer AYCE for $26.95. The number of specialty rolls on that list is limited, but again, if you don't have high standards.....

    Sushi and spicy salmon roll
    Josie L.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am a huge sushi fan and it can be so expensive so I am always looking for a good ALL YOU CAN EAT SPOT! First of all, I love that you can get sashimi and sushi at the AYCE spot- that's not always a thing! My only complaint is that sometimes it takes a little while for everything to come out and when they get busy it's hard to get the waiters attention but that is not a deter any for me because the food is just too dang good! I typically like to order the individual sushi pieces : here I have salmon, white tuna and tuna! They are delicious. I like how they lay it on a pretty small bed of rice and the fish completely covers it! It gives me a chance to try lots of the fishes! Their spicy salmon roll is sooooo delicious. You can tell it's very fresh and although it's spicy it's pretty mild and definitely easy to eat! Not pictured- because I gobbled it down too fast we're a few of the speciality rolls I always get one of the dragon rolls, a rainbow roll and their miso soup! You really can't go wrong with any of the speciality rolls! I'm not a fan of the ones with mango but that's a personal taste thing ! I would recommend this spot for a family day or a date night! It's BYOB so you can grab a bottle of wine from the liquor store conveniently located next to Kumo and then order away all the sushi you can want ! I think it's a great bang for your buck and a beautiful space !

    My Fiancé and I were craving all you can eat sushi and wanted to give this place a try. There selection and menu is definitely better that most AYCE places. The fish tasted fresh and were plentiful. I was actually surprised at how thick they cut their tuna serving. I also enjoyed their sushi rice and just ordered a bowl of that. It was well seasoned. It had the right amount of salty, savory, tangy and sweet. There specialty rolls had a huge selection as well for anyone craving something different. I would definitely go back here when I am crazing AYCE sushi. The restaurant was also very spacious.

    You get as much as you expect from an Asian buffet. The food always comes out warm and the portions are good. I took away one star because of the pricing. I remember this place used to be cheaper but they have really raise their prices in the recent year and the price doesn't match the quality they are putting out.

    It's been a few years since I've been back but we happened to be in the area and was in the mood…read more Parking was a little weird but doable, we found an open meter on Saturday, 100' from the Palace front door at about 2:30. $1/hr not terrible. Didn't know but there is an ally path from the main downtown parking area to the shopping plaza/pedestrian roadway. This is still a great all you can eat sushi places, as good as I remember, great location and atmosphere, though the interior is showing a bit of wear and tear. Service was adequate but they did appear to be short maybe one server. I thought my wife and I were going to have all u can shovel but she pointed out that they also offered a 2 & 3 roll special. Not only did they offer my regular favorites but the price was about half the cost of all-u-can-eat. Special included an ample salad and soup while the six rolls were surprisingly large with generous ingredients altogether left us pleasantly full. Sure I could have had another roll but then I would have been "uncomfortable" and sleepy. All in all really happy with our choice to stop and the 2-3 roll special can be a better financial option while still leaving full.

    Happened upon this sushi place, but will never happen again…read more The interior had cool architecture and design. There were plenty of waitresses and our food was out quickly. One waitress tried her best to help, but she was difficult to understand. We had the seaweed salad that seemed dried out. The shrimp ceviche was super good but it pretty much ends there. The selection of rolls was basic with nothing that stood out. The rolls we had were ok. The Oreo tempura and mini rolls were decent. As soon as we put the last bite in our mouths, the check was there. We felt nothing short of thrown out. It was weird, but we wanted to leave quickly when a group of diners allowed their children to run around the restaurant. While we ate we hoped the staff would say something but the situation got much worse. We were forced to move drinks on our table so kids wouldn't hit them while running. This experience could have been more than a 2 but since this issue was allowed to continue, 2 stars it is. Overall, just bad.

I was in the mood for Japanese food and wanted to try Sakura…read moreSushi on Triangle Rd, so I placed my order over the phone and it was ready when promised in 20 minutes. Sakura Sushi has a large menu, including a kids menu. There is something for everyone. I ordered their Sushi Dinner- 10 pieces of various sushi, and a Spicy Tuna Roll. It came with Miso Soup, and Green Salad with Ginger Dressing. I also ordered their Valentine Roll-Spicy Tuna, Crunch, Avocado inside,Spicy Tuna Outside. Everything I ordered was delicious. The Miso soup had seaweed and tofu in it. It was warm and comforting. The Green Salad was fresh and crisp not watery like some other places, and oh that Ginger Dressing made the salad. Then on to my sushi. It was beautifully displayed and had fresh wasabi and pickled ginger and a separate container of soy sauce for dipping. Every piece was fresh, including my Valentine Roll. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My boyfriend ordered Steamed Pork Gyoza for an appetizer. They were good. For his entree he chose their Beef Teriyaki Dinner. Beef Teriyaki pieces with fresh Vegetables and Fried Rice. His dinner also came with Miso Soup, and Green Salad with Ginger Dressing. He enjoyed his meal but wished the beef was more pink and medium rare. . They do have seating if you choose to eat in. The dining room looked nice.

Initial walk in- typical hibachi place, but a little dark for my taste. The hibachi tables were set up a little differently than what I'm used to (Kiku) where it's a large space with individual hibachi tables. These hibachi tables had two chefs back to back facing one direction and around the hibachi table sat 18-20 people (9-10 on each side). Our hibachi chef was alright. Didn't really do anything extravagant which sucked because we had 3 toddlers that was excited to see the volcano. The "volcano" he made only had 2 onion rings and the fire was out almost immediately. He's lucky the kids got entertained by the smoke once the fire went out. Food was WAY too overly seasoned with teriyaki sauce. I ordered the filet mignon and salmon- filet mignon was surprisingly pretty good and the salmon was a little too thin and overly drenched in terkiyaki sauce, make the final product to be SUPER salty. I'm not sure if it was cuz of the chef that was eh, but this is not a hibachi place I would recommend
