" I'll keep coming back to Kokumi for their shabu-shabu! The combination of different broths and meats is delightful. They allow customization, which makes it a unique experience. Just a tip: arrive early to avoid wait times; the service can lag during busy times. Overall, still a great place to eat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything was good, but I expected more from the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed despite not being too busy. The food itself was delicious but having to flag down servers detracted from the experience a bit. Still, I’d come back for the food, especially the Goma sauce, which was stellar. " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit to Kokumi feels like a treat! I love the unique broths they offer, especially the fire crab one! Everything from meats to vegetables tasted fresh. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, which I appreciate. I sometimes wish the portion size was larger, but overall it's a gratifying experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many shabu places, but Kokumi always gets it right! The lamb and beef options were excellent, and I loved my spicy miso broth. My only complaint was that I wanted more green onions and garlic as toppings, which they don’t automatically provide. Nevertheless, I will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would recommend Kokumi for anyone looking for a casual meal. While the food was authentic and flavorful, my only complaint was that the service felt rushed. I had to ask multiple times for refills, which was a tad annoying. Still, it’s a great choice for a quick meal after work. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Kokumi, and we had a great time! The ambiance was lovely with the outdoor seating, and the hot pots were delightful. However, the wait time for our food was longer than anticipated, which detracted from the experience a bit. Nevertheless, the unique flavors and friendly staff made it a place we'll consider revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kokumi has captured my heart! The shabu-shabu is stellar, the broths are rich, and the service is sincere. I appreciate the outdoor dining vibe, especially on cool evenings. While the portions have shrunk slightly since my last visit, I still find value in what they offer and will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
