" I enjoy dining here, but I've encountered inconsistent service. I've had visits where service was impeccable and others where it felt a bit rushed. The food is what keeps me coming back, especially the unagi and bento boxes. The portions vary a little—they're decent but not huge. Still, the freshness of the fish is top-notch, and I'd recommend trying this place, especially for lunch options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Kuma after seeing so many positive reviews, but my experience was a bit mixed. While the sushi was fresh, which is a plus, I found the portions to be smaller compared to what I expected for the price. The service was friendly but slow. I’d say it’s worth a visit, especially given the ambiance, but make sure to ask about portion sizes beforehand. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this sushi place! Great vibe and amazing food. I really enjoyed the Yellowtail sashimi and the unique rolls they offer. Service was attentive and accommodating. I’m looking forward to bringing my friends to share this hidden gem with them! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ordered takeout from Kuma Sushi and what a delightful surprise! The sushi was more than I expected; each bite was delicious. They were quite generous with the portions too! I'm thrilled to find a reliable sushi joint close to home. Looking forward to eating in next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The portions were smaller than I expected and the rolls weren't as impressive as I'd hoped. The sushi was still good, but the menu prices might lead you to expect larger servings. The atmosphere was pleasant but could use some soft music to enhance the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (86)

" I can't believe how good the sushi was! Each roll was prepared with precision, and everything tastes fresh. The staff were super hospitable, making sure our drinks were always filled. The only drawback was the parking—it was a bit hard to find a spot. Other than that, this place is amazing and I’ll definitely be frequenting it! " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice experience, but I expected a little more after reading all the great reviews. The sushi was good, but not the best I've ever had. The service was okay. They seemed understaffed that day, and it took a little longer for our food to arrive. On the bright side, the place is very clean and has a nice vibe. " (*Curated Review*)
