    Chicken Katsu Combo
    Cynthia P.

    This place is a good place to consider going for some katsu sandwiches! I got the chicken katsu with a combo upgrade (includes two scoops of salad). I got kani and potato. It also comes with choice of tea (black, green, oolong). The katsu is made fresh. I did think the size of the katsu was a bit small, but it was still good. I did try the shrimp katsu before, and I would have to say that I'd prefer the shrimp over chicken. They have other types of sandwiches, such as the fruit sandwiches. But I didn't try since I don't eat much dairy. Service is usually pretty quick and it is clean inside. There is a lot of parking! Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking to try some yummy sandwiches!

    Fruit sando

    Came in with kinda low expectations after reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised! Kumo was tucked away in a shopping center with lots of other restaurants and outdoor seating with unbrellas. Easy parking. We had the chicken katsu sando + $2.50 for the combo (fries and green tea). The chicken katsu is pretty decent - crispy and I liked the sauce. The fries were good too and especially the aioli it comes with. Green tea tasted homemade and was solid too. Also got the original fruit sando, which was very tasty. They didn't cut corners on the amount of fruit and we still found fruit "deeper" in the sando in the parts that weren't exposed. The grapes and strawberries were my favorite. Whipped cream was light and sweet, but not too sweet. Sweet bread was soft and tasty. Service was good and the staff was helpful but not too pushy, and brought our food out to the table outside when it was ready. Docking 1 star for the price which is a little steep for the amount of food ($11 for fruit sando and $16.50 for chicken katsu sando combo), but overall I'm happy with the taste and it is certainly a unique specialty item!

    Great (Japanese) sandwich spot! And very filling too. It was definitely a delicious sandwich. My husband said it was one of the best chicken katsu sandwiches he's ever had, and he's Japanese! (He lived off those prime 7-Eleven sando's! iykyk) The big caveat is that it's expensive. Each sandwich is like $15, after tax and tip. But they're quality sandwiches.

    I love Japanese sandwiches! I visited Kumo back in June of 2024. I tried the strawberry, chicken katsu, and egg salad sandwiches. I also got a matcha latte! Their bread was thick and fillings were loaded! They did take a while to make though- about 30 minutes! Looks they have closed down now.

    Fruit & Cream

    These fruit sandos were amazing, I've never had anything like it! We got both kinds. Sandos were made to order and it's so fresh, light, and sweet but not too sweet! The shop itself is super small & made to just order your food and go. The service was very nice as well, the employees are very friendly. The only thing I didn't like was the green thai tea unfortunately. It tastes more like regular thai tea in my opinion which I weirdly don't really like lol

    Kumo is one of those restaurants I always revisit because it hits the spot for a certain craving. And I love the combos- the egg salad is really good (and less salty than it used to be). The shrimp katsu sando is perfect for a lighter flavor that still has solid pieces of shrimp and the tartar sauce and cabbage complement the golden katsu well. Apparently on this day the chicken katsu had sold out before noon - I also recommend it. The menchi katsu sando has pork and beef, so it's actually quite hamburger tasting, with a stronger American or seasoned patty flavor. Not my type since I generally don't like Italian sausage type seasoning flavor, and one half of the katsu was more tough and chewy than the other. Still nicely crispy. Potato salad didn't taste like you'd expect. Kani salad is nice. The green Thai tea is good, my friend who is a barista loved it alot. Since we got takeout, I added a little milk and honey to my unsweetened green tea and the floral around became even more delicious without bitterness. Great tea. Until next time, Kumo! I will be back. If you dine here be prepared for takeout style and outdoor plaza seating.

    Delicious, so fresh and so cute!!

    Not just cute! They are delicious, fresh and healthy option for me and my kids, we loved it!! The service is so nice, Don't forget to ask for a green Thai tea ;)

    Pork sandwich with potato salad
    Chelsea W.

    I was really excited to try Kumo but found it to be underwhelming. For the high prices they charge I was disappointed by how small the piece of pork in my sandwich was. The potato salad was good, nothing special. Best part of the sandwich was the bread, which was extremely soft and pillowy. Probably would not return unless the craving really hit me.

    Amanda N.

    I tried 4 different sandwiches! The best one was strawberry creme. The creme was light and sweet and melded perfectly with the sweet strawberries and milk bread. Next was the chicken katsu sandwich! The meat was juicy and the sauce was good. Then was the shrimp katsu sandwich as I have never tried anything like it. Lastly was the pork katsu sandwich was a bit dry for my liking. I also tried the green thai tea as well, which personally I did not enjoy as it had no flavor. Might have been because I got less sweetness. I would come back again for the sweet dessert sandwiches if I am craving!

    Pork Katsu (has a sweater cinnamon sauce which is not my fav, but pork is super tender and crispy)

    Located in an outdoor strip mall with a lot of food restaurants. This small shop has takeout only but there is a big shared courtyard with ample tables/seats. Each sando is made at time of order so they're super fresh, crispy and delicious. Customer service is excellent. We tried their pork katsu, chicken katsu, and shrimp sando which is our fav!

    Veggie Croquette, Egg Sando, Pork Katsu Sando, and Strawberry & Cream Sando
    Ash M.

    Kumo is a small Japanese sandwich shop tucked into a food hall off the west side of Mira Mesa Blvd. I had a sando craving while visiting San Diego and this definitely hit the spot. We ordered a Veggie Croquette, Egg Sando, Pork Katsu Sando, and Strawberry & Cream Sando The Veggie Croquette was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Egg Sando was all I wanted--perfect bread with marinated golden yolk eggs and kewpie mayo. The Pork Katsu Sando had the pork cutlet with the shop's own katsu sauce and napa cabbage. Their Strawberry & Cream Sando was such a great treat at the end. It was very light, subtly sweet, with very good strawberries throughout. The shop has a counter with menus and drinks available. Outside the shop are common area tables and chairs for the food hall visitors. There was ample parking and a public restroom down the hall on the right side of the shop. You'll just need to request the code for the door. This was a great road trip meal for the drive home. I'll be going back for more next time!

    Nevaeh S.

    Shop is small, just a quick in and out to go ordering. We were helped immediately and waited about 20 minutes outside. Ordered four sandwiches 2 Egg Sando ($12 each) , 1 Fruit & Cream ($11) , and 1 Strawberry & Cream ($11). Our total came out to $49.57 but with the minimum of 18% tip it was around $60. The Egg Sando and Strawberry & Cream were my favorites. Can be a bit messy to eat but honestly really refreshing, not too sweet or salty. A great place to try and would recommend stopping by if you haven't had anything like this before. Is a bit overpriced in my opinion so probably wouldn't come back.

    Outside food court dining area
    Julie R.

    I'm so surprised this isn't rated higher! We got the chicken katsu, egg salad, and strawberries and cream sandos and everything was absolute perfection. This spot is in a little food court area with cute tables with umbrellas. We came on a Saturday around 2pm and it wasn't too busy in the table area (but the shop was hoppin). The sandos took a bit to come out but no worries because it was a nice spot to sit and chat and I loved how fresh they were. The chicken katsu sando was juicy, tender, tangy, and so delicious. The egg salad sando was also so flavorful and delicious. My favorite thing was the strawberries and cream sando -- the fresh whipped cream was heavy and thick, and there were strawberries in every bite. It almost tasted like a not-too-sweet strawberry shortcake. Everything is on this incredible cloud-like milk bread that's just slightly sweet. I'm obsessed. It was expensive -- $62 for all this before tip -- but that's San Diego. It was worth it to me. We'll definitely be back to try everything and have more relaxing afternoons here.

    Surprised there was no long line outside since today was the Sunday brunch and read from other…read morereviewers to come prepared to wait. Upon walking up to the door, we noticed the closed sign but there was some tables filled already. Asked the young man if they were open or had a private party, he didn't even realize the closed sign was still on. He asked if we had reservations, we did not then he told us to wait outside to be called on, there were tons of empty clean tables, but we didn't argue. As soon as we stepped outside, before I could sit down we got called right back in by the other lady to come inside. Okay. Weird quick game of musical chairs lol. She explained to us how it goes. Drinks on this side of the room. Food on that side. Check. First plate: garlic fried rice (Sinangag), fried eggs, longoniza, Filipino spaghetti, lechon, and a bowl of arroz caldo. Also grabbed two cups, one for water the other for what the waitress said was mango ice tea (spoiler alert: no mangoes were hurt in the process of making this ice tea). Second plate: watermelon and pineapple slices, menudo, kare kare, ube pancake. First the sinangag tasted like it's been left out too long even though it was just brought out. Lots of hard pieces of rice. I decided to not finish it. Next, the fried eggs and longaniza. Fried eggs felt too rubbery for maybe just me. And the longaniza didn't taste anything like longaniza. No spices no garlic. Just a basic sweet hot dog. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just a hot dog. I can say the Filipino spaghetti did taste somewhat like actual Filipino spaghetti, sweet. But not too sweet but also didn't see any hot dogs in there! Now the lechon. Tasted exactly like fried pork. That has zero spices and kinda been out for a while. The arroz caldo had some shreds of chicken I think but I had to fetch for it in the pot. Unfortunately there's no boiled eggs to add but you can add everything else to it like the fried garlic, spring onions lemon etc. Now the drinks. What's up with the non mango mango iced tea? It just tasted like iced tea and if I was told that id be okay. But I love mango drinks and was looking forward to it. The water is the only thing I could say I wasn't disappointed with and only if I didn't have to get it myself I guess would be the only downside lol. I did try to get a second plate. Consisted of some watermelon slices and pineapple slices, menudo and kare kare with white rice. The kare kare and menudo did look like what they were called and that is about it in comparison to what I've had in the past. The menudo had no tomato paste taste to it and was rather bland and the kare kare was also bland. Their kare kare sauce was very watery, missing the thick savory peanut buttery taste. And unfortunately, it was the watermelon slices that made me quit and lose my appetite. It had a weird rotten taste to it. I almost had to vomit. First I thought it was soaked in something maybe vinegar, or I dunno. But I just could not eat anything else. I hope today was just an off day and the food is better. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever come back or even recommend my friend or family to come eat here.

Multiple birthday parties going on, so the atmosphere was very alive with conversation. It was like one big family picnic in there. Initially, they could not find my reservation, but they found it and accommodated us with a table right away and even threw in a Halo Halo for my birthday. The hostess was really nice and jovial. With the amount of people in there it got really warm and unfortunately with the door swinging open over and over there were flies, but there isn't much they could do to prevent that.
