    Tiger roll
    Jessica A.

    Was looking for a sushi place around Desert Ridge, and Kumo was only about ten minutes away. Right of the 101, in a small strip mall, with plenty of parking. Little annoying you have to don't a U turn in a really busy spot to get to it, but it's worth it ! It's a small little place, with all the tables on one side and the sushi bar on the other. Our server was so nice and friendly. We ordered 5 rolls to start with, the sushi chef brought out the last one and chatted with us for a little. We wanted to order more, so our amazing server recommended a roll based off our other selections and was also so accommodating if we wanted to change something in one of the roll. The one the server recommended ended up being my favorite! All the rolls were great size, tasted fresh. I'm also not a big sauce person on sushi, but I quite liked some of the sauces that were paired with the sushi rolls. Next time, we will need to order some sashimi or nigri. Overall, this is such a sweet, quaint spot. You feel like you're in a family owned place that cares about everyone who comes in. Loved multiple things we ordered and we will back because of the food but also big part because of the amazing service.

    Shrimp roll
    Sue H.

    I waited until I had dined twice at Kumo Sushi before writing this review. Both visits were weekday happy hour meals, with some different menu items each time. We were greeted promptly and seated immediately in the nearly empty restaurant, and our server was outgoing and friendly. On my first visit, we ordered a variety of items from both the happy hour and the regular menu. I will note that the happy hour menu is very affordable. But when you order from the regular menu you will pay more for items normally priced less at other Japanese restaurants. For example we received tiny portions of squid salad $7.50 and cucumber salad $6.50, and had the garlic edamame $8. These same items are often discounted at happy hour, but not here. We ordered the Alaskan roll, a California roll and a shrimp roll. I like their California roll filling, and the shrimp roll was small and tight but tasty. The Alaskan roll had a disgusting white sauce all over it under the salmon, so I will remember to order it with no sauce next time. The squid salad seemed like a tiny portion piled on a lot of spring mix lettuce, and the vegetables were not bright green indicating the squid salad was not at its freshest. The cucumber salad was likewise tasty but small, cucumbers are well under a dollar each but this salad was not value priced. We also ordered the garlic edamame, very tasty and although the portion was better it was not on happy hour either. On my first visit I noticed that the rolls were cut in very large pieces, and this made them difficult to eat. On my second visit we had happy hour tuna roll, shrimp roll and California roll all served together on a large round plate. We had the rolls cut smaller to make them easier to eat this time. Draft Kirin beer was $3 and small hot sake were $2.50, a great value. However, my first hot sake was cold, and I pointed this out to the server who turned up the heat, and my second hot sake was at least lukewarm. I really don't believe that I should have been charged for the first cold hot sake. It left a bad feeling when unaddressed at the end even though I mentioned it to the replacement server. At some point during the my meal, we saw our server had left the building and was walking towards Costco. There was no hand off to a new server, a gentleman who did not care about a problem we had discussed with the prior server which was left unresolved. He asked if I had mentioned it to my prior server which I had. Nothing had been done about it. He presented the bill without comment, and never came back expecting us to pay by QR code even though our concerns were unaddressed. I even sat there for a while without paying, hoping he would at least make eye contact and I could ask. That did not occur, although he served a nearby table, he seemed not to care about us at all. Although many reviews mention meeting the owner or the business manager, no one came to check on us at any point during my two visits besides our server. I did see a woman tending the plants in the lobby, they are lovely. What I do see is a small business struggling with basic customer service skills, while delivering reasonable quality, strip mall sushi. I think you can do better, and I wish you success.

    Rainbow roll with smelt egg
    John R.

    Perfect size rolls, imho. Rainbow roll with smelt egg on top. Kirin and Asahi on tap. What a great lunch . Service was dynamite . Beer is cold.

    TONKOTSU RAMEN

    Customer service was amazing, we would get checked on to make sure we were doing good. We felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in. The food was very delicious. The environment felt like home and it is very relaxing.

    Lunch sushi combo with spicy tuna roll
    Jeannine S.

    So disappointed since I read many reviews raving about this place. I ordered door dash and got the lunch nigiri combo with spicy tuna roll. Pros 1. Good variety of food to choose from on the menu 2. Nice presentation for door dash order Cons 1. The sushi rice was very overcooked (mushy/gummy). It's supposed to be sticky, but the rice yesterday was beyond sticky...a ball of mushy flavorless rice 2. Pieces were too big. I appreciate not skimping on the fish, but the nigiri pieces and roll pieces were not able to be enjoyed in one bite. Normally, nigiri doesn't need to be eaten with having to bite it in half 3. Fish freshness wasn't bad but it also wasn't super fresh like I have has from some other places. There is a place nearby (can't name names) that has very fresh fish 4. Prices are quite high compared to equal or better sushi places in the area

    Based on great reviews we decided to try Kumo. We are so glad we did - wonderful neighborhood spot. Great variety of hot food and sushi. We ordered yellowtail roll & Plate for 2 - it includes gyoza, mixed tempura, Cali roll, beef & chicken teriyaki, bbq beed ribs. All of it comes with Miso soup and rice. All of it was tasty and all the meat was very tender Jerry, the owner came over to introduce himself & make sure we were enjoying our meal. Service was excellent, very affordable too! We'll definitely be regulars here!

    Ice Tea,Reg and  tiger roll.

    combination of fresh vegetables and tiger roll was very refreshing!! Creamy avocado and spicy tuna well balanced Perfect roll for hot summer

    Great sushi, huge menu! Service was great. The sushi was very generous, including those in the chirashi bowl. We found our new neighborhood sushi spot!

    Shrimp Tempura
    CG L.

    This is easily going to become our favorite restaurant! We noticed it opened up in our neighborhood, so we decided to give it a try. We were happily greeted by what seemed like the entire crew as soon as we walked in the door. Just happened to still be happy hour, which was nice. We were there for dinner & it did not disappoint. The food is absolutely amazing! The service is too! Everyone was so attentive & everything was so well done. The sushi was a work of art & the salmon teriyaki entree was perfection. Can't wait to go back & try more!

    Small space producers big flavors
    Susan A.

    This newly opened establishment is a hidden gem. A quick stop to check it out for lunch has convinced us to come back--a lot. From the perfectly cooked tempura to the deliciously moist grilled chicken, the flavor and freshness just shine. The artistic plating is perfection. They have transformed the previous taco spot into something special with an exciting menu and friendly, welcoming service.

    Dj L.

    David and Jerry were phenomenal. Couldn't believe the owner came out and greeted us, my friends and I had the best experience. We had some delicious sushi, can't wait to explore this menu. Ask your server for recommendations pls. Will be back soon. 5. Stars

    Sushi food
    Sean G.

    What an amazing little restaurant. This is a small owner operated gem close to Costco on Beardsley. They took over a kinda grimy Mexican taco place and reimagined everything. From the amazing decorations to the platimg, it's all very well thought out. We got a to go order and the attention to detail is amazing. Clear bags, boxes that look like Christmas gifts, and all packaged ready to go. You can tell someone spent a good amount of time thinking through every detail. The presentation continues to the food itself, part art, part elegance, bright and fresh colors dominate the ambiance. Now, on to the food. If your a fan of amazing sushi, soups, fresh teriyaki meat and seafood at very affordable prices you'll love it here. It is amazing. We really need to protect and support these amazing small restaurants, they are a breath of fresh air compared to the chain infiltration which is most of phoenix choices. Go try them!

    Nishikawa Ramen is a small little ramen shop decorated with anime posters from Naruto, One Piece,…read moreand Dragon Ball. There were also cute little trinkets of My Neighbor Totoro. Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26

I used to come here specifically for the Ramen, but the Ramen has never been the same after a bit before Covid had hit and they decided to change the recipe and everything about it and it's just like mid now, but I've recently discovered how good their noodles are. This is probably some of the best chow mein I've had and that's mostly what's carrying this review. I literally am only putting it at three stars because I am still upset about the Ramen situation and how it used to be really good and I can't factor that out of my review lol but what I usually get here is the hot chicken bao bun and it's pretty freaking good pretty spicy too. I'm like white girl level zero when it comes to spices and I think it's pretty spicy but it's super flavorful. The pickles they put into it are really good. I think they like saturate them in something and like I said before the chow mein noodles are just super good. They're not dry and they're pretty flavorful it's great. I'm just hoping one day the Ramen will be better so I can change the review higher lol

The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good.

The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!
