The service was great- very friendly. Cool presentations. Food was ok but honestly the place was so dirty it felt sketchy even eating it. The place needs a SERIOUS deep clean. Hoping no one gets sick over the next day or so. Regret going here. Owners- time for some deep cleaning. read more

Stopped into Kumo Asian and ordered the shrimp hibachi, and overall, it was a solid meal. Nothing particularly memorable or crave-worthy, but it definitely got the job done. The flavors were okay and satisfying enough for a casual hibachi craving. The ginger salad threw me off a bit--not so much the taste, but the presentation. The lettuce pieces were pretty large, and I definitely would've preferred it more chopped for easier bites. I also tried the sweet tea, which honestly didn't taste much like sweet tea at all. It leaned more toward a green tea flavor, but it wasn't terrible once I added some lemon. On the upside, the crab rangoons were solid--crispy, warm, and enjoyable. Overall, Kumo Asian delivers a decent meal with a few quirks. Not amazing, not terrible--just okay. I wouldn't rush back, but if I was in the area and wanted something quick and reliable, I'd consider it again. read more

Good experience overall. The staff was helpful, the place seemed organized, and the whole visit went at a reasonable pace. Not everything was perfect, but it was still a solid visit. read more

This is the second time I've ordered Uber Eats and this is the second time they didn't deliver everything that was ordered.

What a friendly staff and amazing food! They are so caring and love to celebrate their customers. The sushi is top notch and ambiance is impeccable. Absolutely give them a try. read more

Theeee "BEST " I have EVER had!! Sevice ,Food, AND Ambience was SUPERB!! Every bite popped with flavor!! Opened ALL my taste buds like they've been deprived my entire life! The decorations brought festivity to what has been a depressing and aggravating 400 days! Kumo Asian Fusion is a very clean place to eat, mingle, or just have a drink! My next group celebration will definitely be here, where there's plenty of seating and a fully stocked bar that you could even bring a child to for a Shirley Temple on the rocks! After eating, I could hardly get up. I just kept stuffing "One more bite," before placing enough leftovers for another meal, in the to-go container, which my roommate confiscated from me as soon as I walked through the door . read more

We dropped off our grandson after his summer job shift and decided to take our son and his wife to dinner. They suggested Kumo, their favorite place. Upon arrival we were greeted as regulars and quickly sat. The restaurant was something else in the past, like many, but I couldn't really tell. Dark, dingy, and not very inviting, other than the people. I had a three roll sushi combo with a salad. The sushi presentation was beyond expectations. A wooden bridge with blue lights and a rubber plant. Quaint is the word that comes to mind. The salad was just a bowl of iceberg lettuce and dressing. No onions or tomatoes just lettuce. I ordered spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and tune with cucumber. To be honest, I couldn't distinguish between them. All three were super bland. My wife's combo Pad Thai was brown, as Pad Thai can be, I didn't have any, it didn't look appealing. But maybe it was just not my day. We started with steamed shrimp shumai and gyoza. Both were cold in the middle and basically flavorless. My son had red snapper, it looked decent and his wife had sesame chicken, I think. It too was brown. Just brown. Overall, the food was plentiful but mediocre. The prices were not high, but likely too high for what we got. Normally, this would be a three star review. But the service and the extras (spin the wheel win a prize - we won a saki bomb and a $10 gift card for later) - gave them the extra star. I'm sure my son will return, I'll likely pass. read more

service was great, friendly staff and quick service! they have a "pay it forward" where you can pay for a meal for someone else, and if you are in need of a meal you can go there to get one which is amazing and so so kind!! food is okay, not the worst but not the best. def tasted like it was just cooked up with some sauce, not a true authentic taste. restaurant wasn't the cleanest, but run down a little bit i honestly didn't mind much, seemed like a neighborhood restaurant vibe. i would come back for an easy quick dinner read more

We will definitely be back! This place is definitely an experience. I am not sure what the magical combination of date and time was arranged but there was an all out party when we arrived. Free appetizers, celebratory sake bombs, and cake for everyone. On top of that our meal included soup and salad. My friend and I split a few appetizers, four sushi rolls, a bottle of sake AND had hibachi dinner and our total bill was less than $100! On top of that everything was fantastic. The owner was walking around and was so personable. The staff was pretty young but they were all so nice. The only negatives I can think of were that we were sitting right by the speaker so it was a little loud and that the bathroom was cold. I can't wait to go back! Oh and they have chocolate fortune cookies read more

We have wanted to try this place since we moved here over a year ago. We didn't have high hopes, but kept our fingers crossed. It is so close, if it was good we would quickly become regulars. It wasn't. We won't. The gyoza was tasty for sure. Nicely grilled, but still soft and delicious. The sauce was a great compliment. The miso soup was not good. Mark did not care for his Pad Thai. He said the noodles were overcooked, The sauce was thick and goopy. Generally, it didn't taste fresh. He didn't finish it and we left the leftovers on the table. His dish also included what looked like a strand of steel wool from a scrubby. The sashimi was not horrible, but it was not good. The fish was cold, like it was precut and stored in a very cold refrigerator. The pieces were large, but mostly flavorless. When I eat perfect, melt-in-my-mouth sashimi, I make yummy noises. I didn't make yummy noises on this day. It was sad to be so underwhelmed. read more

Would not recommend. I was so excited for sushi and my order was not correct and it did not taste good. I even ordered a Thai tea thinking that it was a Thai restaurant and it was terrible. The place was absolutely dirty and the person who took my order was not the friendliest. I'm a foody, and this is not the business read more

We saw that one of our local gems, Kumo in Delhi, was having a great customer appreciation celebration--which coincided with my husband's birthday. Obviously fate, so that is where we took the family tonight. It was really amazing! The staff noticed us carrying in a few gifts so they quickly raised our celebration level. The staff sang to him, took pictures for us, brought him a lovely plate of complimentary sushi and then a complimentary dessert plate. WOW!!! We had young grandchildren with us and they were served well by everyone there. Food was delicious and the potions are generous. We will return often! My 6 yr old grandson declared it his new favorite restaurant--and this from a chicken nugget addict! Keep it in mind when you get hungry, you won't regret it! read more

This restaurant looks pretty, but the food is questionable. I downloaded Yelp just to make this review. I'm on a date with my boyfriend, and I ordered the shrimp tempura roll. When I say it was fried rock hard and still had the tails in, I'm not joking. It felt like biting into a rock and chewing sand. My boyfriend got the teriyaki chicken, and it was so chewy. It felt like you were biting straight veins. On top of that, they have angelfish living in a tank at the front of the restaurant that having such poor living conditions. I'm surprised they're not dead. My boyfriend is currently feeling like he's going to be sick because the food is so bad. Even the fried rice was messed up. It had no flavor and was overcooked. They even gave us a fish tank decoration as a garnish... What is going on here? read more

I am still fairly new to the sushi game so bear with me. I donate blood at CSL plasma which is near by. Afterwards, if I have time I like to try the local cuisine in the area. I have eaten at this place more than a handful of times. Every time my hungry is satisfied. I feel refreshed and healthy again. Where I come no people only eat the California roll or the spicy tuna. Please forgive me I had corn fields danm near outside my bedroom window. Let me start with the setting. It could be ambiance, it's not quite a Jackie Chan movie but most people don't need that. You can seat yourself which is good for me because I have ADHD and at this time in my life I am always on the go. I usually get a coke or diet coke. Then start my usual restaurant routine which is just going down the menu 1 by 1 and conquering my plate. I never have anything left over. I don't think it's a problem. The dragon roll so far is my favorite I have no idea what sauce is on it, but it's awesome. They bring out the battle ship always to remind me I am constantly at war. After your meal sometimes you get to play a game to see if you win more food or alcohol. I'v only had the AF sake at the moment but I really enjoy it. As far as appetizer the crab Rangoon is one of the best in the tri- county area. It's soft and chewy. Service is usually served with a smile and averages about 20 minutes per wait. I keep coming back the menu has all the traditional options with a few new ones. I always leave with a full belly and can't wait til my next visit. read more

How have I not reviewed this place yet? It's certifiably the coolest place to eat near me! When they say Asian fusion, they mean it- it's not just Japanese or Chinese, though I'm more familiar with the more Japanese inspired side of the menu. The sushi is good and not overpriced for sushi. There's a bento box option for lunch, and I am addicted to the veggie tempura appetizer. The food can take a while in the way that things do when maybe a place was too ambitious in planning their menu, but I've always enjoyed it. I live in fear of it closing. read more

Do not do it! You will be very disappointed! Service and food were both very poor. I don't know what else to say!

Kumo is amazing and truly the best sushi I've ever had inside or outside of Delhi. Any review that says otherwise was expecting buffet quality sushi and not quality sashimi that Kumo serves. Our family goes frequently and gets the Love Boat which is a ton of sushi and we've always only had an amazing experience. read more

I have fond memories of eating in this building as a child ... and my experience at Kumo had me wishing it was still a Pizza Hut! In a word Kumo is: underwhelming. I tried four of the specialty sushi rolls with a friend, and something was just off about each one. The fish was lower quality, the mango was on the dry side, the spicy tuna was bland, the peanut toppings were overwhelming and overall the quality was just not there. They advertise 50% off sushi, but the speciality rolls are still about $7-9 each, which makes them feel like a bad value. I also ordered a disappointing ginger salad; it was anemic and the dressing had a mysterious flavor that was closer to thousand island than ginger. I hate to give so many poor remarks, but the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired as well. The dining room looks a bit run down, the floors are uneven and the environment was not peaceful: some of the employees' kids were left to run amok: screaming and carrying on throughout the entire meal. The final, albeit most strange event of the evening you almost have to see to believe (pictures included). They serve you your meal with an odd ornamental trinket cemented to the plate with wasabi. I got a ceramic pagoda with a bunch of cracks and missing pieces: it was truly weird and sadly ruined any of the presentation value that the sushi could have had on its own. Yes this building might be cursed: many businesses have moved in and out over the years. I cannot help but think that Kumo may join the ranks of the fallen shortly. read more

The experience is what you would expect from Asian fusion. There curios and cultural nicknacks all over the dining hall. Plenty of seating, warm indoor atmosphere, and a sunny room for added natural touch. The service is very attentive and engaging. I like the food, it's simple ingredients and tasty. Portions are about right given that most meals are over $10. I'll order takeout and it's ready in usually 15 minutes for a couple items. Family friendly, lot of free parking. read more

I come here twice a month minimum and haven't had anything bad to say! The wheel and service given always makes me feel great about coming here and you can't go wrong with 3 roll special and miso soup! read more

Best food and best service. The sashimi is fresh. I will highly recommend this restaurant

If you're craving sushi but not a pretentious, overpriced dining experience, head to this gem in Delhi. The spot is low-key, but the food is outstanding, the service is top-notch, and the presentation is next-level. The menu is actually Asian fusion, with Chinese and Japanese favorites plenty of options for any taste. The classic sushi rolls are all under $5 each - a delicious bargain. The chef was amazingly kind and sent us a complimentary appetizer that I could eat before every meal for all time - minced spicy tuna topped with a poke-like mix on top. All of the other rolls were fresh and flavorful and presented more creatively than I've seen anywhere before. Overall, a delightful meal and a fantastic value here on the west side. read more

This place has kind of a tacky feeling. I guess being from California I was spoiled on quality environment and fish. I came to enjoy dinner with myself and a few waiters were comstantly asking, "It's just you? You're alone?" Uh yes, sometimes people just don't feel the need to have company. A simple salad took a while to make. Plating was messy and it was also grimy on the underside. Also would be nice to not have a sticky table. In the end, looks should not judge the food. It's quite good, needs a little work in my opinion but not bad for a place with no ocean close by. While a nice gesture uhhh... a coffee sponge cake is something you find in Italian restaurants. Very untraditional, wasnt even like... that good? Probably store bought. Sprinkles were unnecessary and just.... coffee and sushi? No! read more

I have a super high standard for sushi and sashimi but this place (sort of) met my expectations for a sushi place near Cincy. I had Chirashi bowl and The owner was super nice and she was willing to accommodate everything. Kinda in the middle of no where but I feel like I would go back read more

So this isnt the typical hibachi where they cook at a table in front of you but you can order hibachi to your table. I love hibachi so we tried it! They really specialize in sushi. You should definitely order the sushi, it looked amazing and I regret choosing hibachi over sushi here. The hibachi comes with soup or salad but I couldnt decide so I ordered both. The salad was typical hibachi salad with the amazing ginger dressing. The soup is the clear mushroom soup. I wasnt a huge fan and regret paying extra for it. I was just so cold I wanted hot soup.the crab rangoon was epic though!! Definitely get that. It's a great deal too. 6 pieces for like $4. The hibachi food was good. Maybe not the best I've ever had but good. I paid extra to get the noodles with it. They were the highlight. The rice had no real flavor of it's own so I'm super glad I decided to get noodles too. The chicken good, made better by yum yum sauce. And the servers (we had 3 who worked together to check on us) brought us a complimentary little dessert. They were cute little strawberry cakes, really good but we were so full at the end!! It was a good and filling meal but definitely go with sushi and if you want hibachi get the noodles and salad!!! read more

An absolutely wonderful (and needed) addition to the West side restaurant scene. I was a little nervous about this place, because their location has had a slew of owners & cuisines over the years, and they've all failed. But I was SO impressed with Kumo Asian Fusion and am happy to report I will definitely be going back. Arrived with my family on a Saturday night around 6pm - no wait, but the place was bustling! Our waiter was very sweet - he brought us the drink menu & the dinner menus. There are so many options here, it was overwhelming. For appetizers, my sister got the crab rangoon - very standard, served with plain mayonnaise; not my preference. I got the vegetable tempura, which was delicious. For our entrees, my sister got the beef negamaki bento box - this was the best deal ever! 6 pieces of beef wrapped around greens, tempura, shumai, white rice and 6 california roll pieces. I had the hibachi with chicken & shrimp, also excellent. For dessert, we got both the fried cheesecake & the fried ice cream. I loved their green tea ice cream! Everything here was delicious, service was superb, and food was delicious. read more

I got sick after eating. The service was quick & easy as I ordered takeout. The overall restaurant seemed like a hole in the wall but the food wasn't what I expected. My bag was leaking coming in the house, took my food out the bag aside from everything having some sort of liquid on it from spilling all the lids were off the containers provided. The food was dry, seemed rush while being cooked. Don't think I'll be going back... read more

I can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner. Nothing disappointed. I had the Tom yum soup, Thai curry chicken, and crazy roll. Way too much food but I'm happy to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The flavor in the soup and curry chicken were just on point. That's all I can say. I've gotta put my phone down and take one more bite before I box this up! read more

Stay away from the sushi, smelled and tasted pretty far off so my family had to leave most of what we ordered on the table. The service and sides we had were good, but I don't trust them to prep raw fish. Will have to go back to try their cooked food. read more

My fiancée and myself both live in the area. About a mile from the restaurant. We thought we would try it. As we are sitting there waiting for our food, we seen a mouse run out from under-the-counter. What's some scared of people at all needless to say that was our last visit read more

Stellar service, genuine authentic Asian ambiance and family atmosphere. Food was definitely there and present!

I can't recommend this restaurant. We got a carry out order and the food was very bland.

Food is about 3/5 stars, service is 0/5. Each time I have visited this place, I have left thinking I'll never return. But again, their sushi is very good and I can't resist. However, tables are sticky, chopsticks are reused (specifically placed through a dish washer), dust on the soy sauce bottles and table booths are falling apart. If you feel like waiting 15mins+ for a drink, 10mins+ for a menu and at least 40mins+ for your food, this is your place. Weirdly enough, I have family and friends who seem to have the complete opposite experience I have had. Which makes me think they remember their 'personal favorite' customers and give them special treatment or what the deal is. I just know I will NOT be back, which is a shame because the food is actually decent. read more

I ordered a few sashimi items to be delivered and let me tell you. I'm happy. The tuna dumpling is amazing. The black pepper tuna was outstanding. The yellowtail jalapeño delicious. Do not pass this on place up based on location it is worth it. read more

I have visited Kumo twice, and I like it. I have been trying to find quality Japanese restaurants in Cincinnati that do not do half-price sushi. I am surprised that the west side of town, especially in the Delhi neighborhood, has such a high quality Japanese restaurant. The first time I visited Kumo, I ordered the sashimi dinner. I was impressed by the fresh sashimi, nigiri, and the nice presentation. I can tell they tried very hard preparing and presenting the food they serve. The second time I was there, I ordered sashimi bento box. Again, I was impressed by the quality of food. The sashimi in my bento box was fresh. And shrimp and vegetable tempura were delicious. Other two side dishes in my bento box were yummy too! It was a nice and satisfying meal for sure. In terms of service, the restaurant staff were friendly as well. We had to waited a little bit for our bento boxes. But our server stopped by our table letting us know that our dinner was coming, which for me, was a nice gesture. One thing I am not sure about this restaurant (not their fault at all) is its location. The neighborhood where this restaurant is located is kinda drab and bleak. I mainly visit this restaurant for its quality food and good service. Otherwise, I would not come to this neighborhood. Another thing I think this restaurant can probably improve is its decor. I can tell this restaurant is relatively new, and the old decor from the previous business still remains. Since it is a Japanese and Asian fusion restaurant, I would recommend that they "dress up" the dining area a little more. Hopefully, this restaurant will maintain its quality. If that is so, we will definitely come here regularly. read more

The service is always excellent, the menu is big and I haven't had anything I don't like. From sushi to hibachi, it's all excellent!

I'm really pulling for this place to succeed. They have a lot of obstacles to overcome: location is not promising, the size of the place is huge and the servers are not well trained. But the food is good and there is a lot to each serving. The prices are fair and the bento box is a real deal. I recommend giving it a try. read more
