One of our friends in our group picked this restaurant. When we got there we were semi-unimpressed with the smaller menu. We contemplated leaving for another restaurant but decided to stick it out since we were there. Turns out I am so thankful we did. The food was absolutely fabulous. We got a bunch of shareables and more food than we can handle and enjoyed every dish. Ambiance was wonderful at this restaurant but it is Vegas. Service was good too and our server was quite patient. Drinks were equally as good
Stopped by Kumi for some food before our reservation at Swingers in Mandalay Bay. The restaurant is pretty huge and very beautifully decorated. Our server was friendly and gave us a few recommendations like this spicy tuna crispy rice. It was delicious! We ordered and shared a few rolls and another appetizer. Food was good and sushi tasted fresh just with the portions were a bit larger especially for the price. Understandably the restaurant is on the strip in a resort so we knew we'd be spending a lot more here. Overall a great experience!
cherry blossom roll - 6.4/10 (filling but taste isn't amazing) yellowtail - 7.3/10 (pretty good but nothing special) cod - 8.9/10 really good but pickles kinda throw me off tho ambiance - dim lighting and okay yet mildly arrogant vibe service - attentive servers nice bathrooms 10/10
Happened to check this place out just by trying to figure out what to eat and we're glad we did because now we know to add another delicious place to our places to eat list. Everything we had was pretty delicious and the food came out fast which we loved. There is lots of seating with two main rooms it looks like and then also a whole bar section.
Totally impressed. By far the best salmon nigiri I have ever had. I don't care that it was 16 dollars for two. I literally might go back tomorrow. The drinks were also immaculate. Perfectly crafted and very strong. It's Vegas after all. The atmosphere was okay I was sat at the bar so I didn't get the full experience. If I go back tomorrow I'll try to sit somewhere else. But I don't care that much about atmosphere when the nigiri was that good. The tuna was so good as well I haven't had tuna like that before. So buttery. The unagi was also super tender and perfectly seasoned. I also really enjoyed the edamame the flaky sea salt makes all the difference. I highly recommend coming here. But you will pay the Vegas price. It's worth it though.
Great meal at Kumi during our conference! The portions are on the smaller side, so plan accordingly. They got our order wrong a few times but the good was pretty decent. We enjoyed a bunch of rolls, the soft shell bao buns, miso cod, salmon, and more. Everything was tasty. We had an early dinner so it was more quiet - would recommend coming with a reservation during peak dinner hours.
As soon as you walk in your attention goes straight to their cherry blossom in room they have. It's lit up beautifully and sets up a great ambiance. The service was really good. Our waitress Amanda answered all our questions regarding the menu and helped us select which rolls were most to our liking. We got a large variety to try as we were really hungry: Cherry Blossom- so fresh, yogurt sauce was tangy Kumikaze- fresh lemon is citrusy acidic, sooo good Hot mess- huge bite but so worth it. Crispy onions and spicy mayo add the perfect touch to a soy wrapped roll Shogun- blown away with the toro, the gift that keeps on giving, Fresno chili on point, hits with the shrimp at the end for a harmonious bite We also ordered the tuna pizza, after the amazing rolls we found this dish to be a little over salty. I also traditionally always get miso soup every time I eat miso soup and I'm happy to report that this one was so good; the umami was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. It was my birthday and they brought out some ice cream with a candle which was sweet. But to really satisfy our craving we also ordered the mochi ice cream which came in matcha and strawberry flavor. The perfect ending to an amazing meal. Overall I highly recommend coming here for a great sushi experience.
