    Veggie Katsu
    Danielle M.

    Pros: - Fast casual, take contactless payment - Fast and friendly service, they're very open to answering questions about the menu - Vegan/vegetarian options! And they also have a separate fryer for the options - DELICIOUS!! Absolutely amazing flavor - Cheap! This is a bargain of a deal for a quick meal Cons: - No designated eating area, the restaurant itself is a kiosk ordering system. You wait outside for food by standing or sitting near the outside shared tables with nearby restaurants - Limited parking nearby due to the shared parking lot being near many other businesses (small parking spots too) - Plastic to-go containers

    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
    Sharon L.

    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.

    Fruit & Cream
    Yana M.

    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.

    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!

    Outside with menu

    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.

    egg sando
    Nicole A.

    Cute place for sandos, although a bit expensive at $10+ for each sandwich. I wish there were mix and match combos to choose which savory + sweet sandos + appetizers I'd like to try rather than their pre-set ones. The squid karage was not a favorite of mine and felt like a weird intermediate between calamari and chicken karage, when I would have preferred to have either of those instead. The egg sando was pretty good but not as flavorful as I was hoping. The chicken katsu sando was okay! I would like to come try their sweet sandos another time
