    We came here on a Sunday for an early dinner and were seated at a two-person table. The table was very small, and the chairs were the metal type, which weren't very comfortable. We ordered the Chirashi Bowl, Sushi Moriawase, and Ika Karaage. We always try the Chirashi Bowl whenever we visit a Japanese restaurant because it's one of our favorite ways to compare the sushi quality and value. The owner was very nice and even upgraded some of the fish for us, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, this Chirashi Bowl wasn't one of our favorites. The sushi was fresh and offered good value for the price. The Ika Karaage, however, was a bit too greasy for us. We tried it, and now we can cross it off our list.

    great service all around! This place is new and the people who worked here were super friendly and attentive. Immediate seating! They have some great happy hour deals. My fav was the baked salmon roll. so good. The mango fresh brewed iced tea is delish. Super clean inside and good vibes. Def coming back

    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.

    This was some of the best sushi I've had in the valley. We also got the baked scallop roll and unagi (freshwater eel). Excellent service and delicious food

    Shrimp roll

    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.

    Just had lunch at Kumo Sushi. Lunch special of Bento Box. Great options and love getting a little bit of everything. Food and service were great. Will definitely be back when in the area.

    Sushi lunch

    Fantastic lunch! Quality is top notch, fish is delivered daily and you can taste the freshness. Jerry is one of a kind chef and even upgraded to halibut which was so delicious and kind. Thank you!

    We came for the 1st time yesterday. Back today for happy hour as the Food is great! And Our Server, Alexa, was Very friendly and provided great assistance with choices.

    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

    Do not eat here unless you want to be disappointed or you don't have taste buds. Sorry to say. I had high hopes from the reviews but this was TERRIBLE! We ordered : Seaweed said 0/10 tasted like nothing Chicken wings 0/10 you can tell they were cooked before and reheated Cucumber salad 0/10 tasteless Salmon Kama 0/10 we had to send it back and take it off the bill. It's supposed to me colar but it was a small piece of colar and a salmon fillet that was raw in the middle and tasted fishy Also ordered the sushi moriawase . The octopus we literally could not chew it. You can tell that the egg was old. The rest of the sushi just wasn't good. The California roll had old avocado in it. Everything was disgusting. Honestly, I was upset having to pay for this. The inside is small and several tables were not cleared off even though it was not busy when we went. The A/c was not on so it was warm in there . The server was nice and that was the only plus for this place.

    Love this place! Best tasting sushi in town. We also love the ramen. If you go, try the pork belly ramen and Toro.

    Tanya K.

    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!

Definitely a vibe for anime lovers! Food-wise, we started with the gyoza and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ponzu sauce! We also tried the sushi flight, which was a great way to sample a few different flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

I ask if she could add something to my order (I wanted to add an egg to my ramen, not on the side but in the ramen) to which she acknowledged. Roughly 10 mins later, a new waiter brings me out an egg in a bowl! I politely told him I asked for it to be in my ramen, not as a side. He looks at me as if I've lost my mind, then asks if I want it in a to-go box... why?? I told him a second time, that I asked for it to be on my soup, the ramen! He walked away. Another 15 mins goes by and yet another server comes and brings out our food. Everyone around us is getting service, like multiple times, but we have yet to see our waitress. We asked a 3rd waiter if we could get sauces, which he brings out. We eat our food, and guess what...? Still no waitress. We finish our food and had to ask a fourth waiter for a to go box, and finally our waitress comes out and asks if we need anything, to which I tell her, no, we've already been taken care of! She walks away with what seemed like an attitude. Brings our check. Another 10 mins goes by and we don't see her... every other table is gettin their service from their waiters/waitress and we don't. So we get up and pay for our bill, ourselves at the hostess table. Our waitress comes up to take our bill, doesn't say anything at all. No, I'm so sorry I'm waiting multiple tables, or hey sorry I'm working both inside and outside, nothing. Besides the less than par service the food was really good!! If she would have at least communicated to us, how busy she was or is or anything, this would a be a totally different story.

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!
